My first Dewey entries

I have officially started my challenge Making My Way Through Dewey.  I read three books this weekend.  Below is my master list.

I read My Third Husband Will Be a Dog from the humor section.  One might think it would be full of manbashing, as the title suggests.  But it wasn't.  It was the self-deprecating humor that I enjoy, and the author mainly talked about her mother and daughter.  It was a fun read, full of little essays that are about 3 pages each.

The next book was The Big Payoff from the personal finance section.  It was boring.  All personal finance books are pretty much the same.  Honestly, it's a really lame formula for creating wealth: maximize earnings, minimize spending, invest the difference.

The last book for the weekend was Parenting in the Home Stretch.  It was about parenting older kids and instilling values and ethics in them.  Quick read.  Again, it was kind of like the personal finance book in that it had shockers such as "model how you want your kids to act" and "don't for them what they can do for themselves."

3 sections of Dewey done, 97 to go!
