Note to self: Don't ever make a commitment to be more diligent in writing reviews. That will just guarantee that life will increase in pace until it becomes completely frenetic and you can barely see straight. Having recently just made a big out-of-state move, I am currently despairing that I will ever get back into any routine. So I'm going to try something different for this post. Revie

Dave Ramsey is a radio talk show host, an author and a finance expert. He's made millions by telling people how to get out of debt and save for the future. If you haven't heard of him, I am shocked. I've never listened to his radio show or read a book of his until recently, but I knew who he is. He has a handful of books about finances, starting with Financial Peace, and each one is guidan

Tony DiTerlizzi first became a household name in the kidlit world with his team project with Holly Black, a little series you might have heard of called The Spiderwick Chronicles. If you ever read it or get a chance to flip through the pages, you'll see the amazing eye candy of his illustrations. My daughter picked up a copy of his latest book, The Search for WondLa, written and illustrated by

For some months I've been in a bit of a reading funk where I couldn't get excited about anything I was reading and couldn't seem to get my hands on anything that really stirred me. So I asked my English Major sister for some recommendations on things she has read in school and loved. I figured a little intellectual exercise would be a good way to get me out of my funk and excited about going t

Just because we just celebrated St. Patrick's Day doesn't mean we can't take a little time to look back and reminisce at 2010, does it? Okay, really, I had planned to do this post three months ago. But I'm pretty sure the content won't change just because it's late. Remember that this list only includes books we rea

You know it's been a long time since you've posted when you go to log in and you can't remember your password for the new site. Heh heh, how embarrassing! Through a series of circumstances that have ramped up the demands on my time, as well as drastically reduced my access to a computer, I have been a huge RedHotEyebrows slacker. But this is my attempt at doing a whirlwind look at what I've re

I never turn down a free book if I can help it, so when author Jeanne Walker Harvey offered to send me a copy of her picture book, Astro: The Steller Sea Lion, I sure wasn't going to turn it down. Plus, I do have my picture book obsession to feed. Double plus, my kids and I have a love of books and movies about sea creatures. We've watched the ocean segments of our Planet Earth DVDs far more

I'm always excited for the newest John Grisham book to come out. They are so excellently packed with action, intrigue and suspense. Nine times out of ten, I pick it up and can't put it down. There's a reason why he's a best seller. It would take me a day to shuffle my favorites of his books into order from best to worst because there's are so many good ones and so few bad ones. When I

This is so sad, but I had to ground myself from reading until I got caught up on posts. I have, not kidding here, eight books I need to write posts about. I'm going to lump three in here together to knock it down to five more posts to write. It'll feel less intimidating that way. I've covered all ages with the first book, 10 and up for the second, and 14 and up for the third. Isn't that

If you're not friends with me (and why aren't you, don't you love me?) on Facebook, you probably don't know that Red Hot Eyebrows has its own Facebook page. I know, it's cool. You want to hop on over to Facebook right this minute and check it out. I can hear you clicking on your Facebook account in another window. Yes, I am that intuitive. I've been putting up random tidbits like the an
