Overdue Book Reviews

Thank goodness book publishers and authors don’t assess overdue fines like the library. If they did, I’d owe a hefty chunk of change about the size of my child support check! Against my will, the procrastination bug has reared its ugly head again. Great way to start off the new year, huh? But that’s ok. I’m about to shake it off, clean up my overdue mess, and make good on my promises. Here’s the plan:

*BabyGirl’s review

This will be my book review schedule for the next few months. Until I make good on this entire list, I am not accepting anymore new books. Well…umm…unless it’s related to investing. I’m trying to be like her when I grow up. :-)

      Um, can I get first dibs on the book about “Your Broke B/c You want to be?” I’m sure you’re planning to give it away! And man, I’d hate to have to read all those books… That looks like a syllabus..

      I’m excited about your review of “Getting Started: the finacial guide for a younger generation” I hope that it’s a good book for people my age(19). Every book that I’ve read about finances is about older people who have already screwed up their money not young people who haven’t.
