A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Psych's Guide to Crime Fighting for the Totally Unqualified - Shawn Spencer with Burton Guster (DTB)

Full disclosure - I started reading this a long time ago and just finished it today.  It's an awkward-sized book, but don't let the amount of time it took to read this fool you - I liked it.  It was just difficult to situate in a comfy position to read.  I think Shawn would understand.

If you don't know anything about Psych, just stop reading.  If you pick up this book and have never seen the show, you won't understand the book at all.  If you love the show and want a bit more of it, this might be a possibility for you.

I love Psych.  It's probably my favorite comedy of all time.  I own all 8 seasons on DVD, and my kids have watched it as well.  We can quote things from different episodes and watch them over and over.  Every time I start re-watching the series, I try to keep an eye out for the pineapple that's supposed to be present in every episode.  By the second one, I've totally forgotten about the pineapple because I'm too busy laughing my butt off at Spelling Bee (one of my favorite episodes).

This book is as scatterbrained as a normal Psych episode.  It's even got a chapter labeled Chapter %.  If you can't imagine reading this in the various voices of the cast, you probably won't like it.  Yeah, some of the humor falls a bit flat at times, but other times I laughed out loud.  I rarely do that when reading, so it's a compliment for the book.  It was a fun read and something I needed right now.
