"Hugs and Misses: 30 Postcards of Awkward Romance": how could I not be intrigued, based on the title alone?

Awkwardness is part of my life, whether I'd like it to be or not, and oftentimes I think it results in some funny, albeit cringe-worthy situations.

As the title would suggest, this book contains 30 postcards, each with an illustration and some dialogue portraying - you guessed it! - an awkward romance.

There's such a wide variety of postcards in this book, and I found most of them hilarious. Some of these are gems, so I'm going to pick a few postcards from "Hugs and Misses" and frame them so I can put them on display!

These humourous postcards result in everything from sympathetic smiles to laugh-out-loud fun, so this book is perfect for the awkward romantic in your life!

"Tic Tac Tome: The Book That Will Beat You at Tic-Tac-Toe" | Book Review

"Tic Tac Tome"

Picture this: you're all alone, trying to think of something to pass the time. You feel like a good ole game of Tic-Tac-Toe - but there's no one around to play it with you. That no longer matters, because now Tic Tac Tome exists!

This book claims (yes, the book actually addresses you) that it's nearly unbeatable at Tic-Tac-Toe. And that's not far from the truth! I have yet to beat it at the game, although we have drawn a few times (I grew up playing Tic-Tac-Toe a lot and my Dad taught me a few tricks).

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys playing the game. Tic Tac Tome is a lot of fun and definitely makes you think about your strategy and what your next move will be. You'll be a better player for it!

Tic Tac Tome: The Book That Will Beat You at Tic-Tac-Toe comes out on June 10, 2014.

Do you play Tic-Tac-Toe?
