Welcome back to Nostalgic Friday! Since I love all things historical (culturally, physically, and personally) I do a post on Fridays honoring some awesome book that is a bit older. Many of them are books I enjoyed in my teens and others are books that I discovered as an adult that I think are relevant to YA readers.
I thought I'd pay homage to the fact that school is now back in session for most students (with college students on their way back as well) with a non-fiction, assigned college reading book that was originally published in 2001. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich was published long before the tv show 30 Days was created and I think it is one of the best books that showcases the reality faced by so many called the "working poor."
Millions of Americans work for poverty-level wages, and one day Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surr ...more
To put that into perspective, for those of you who were not aware, the Federal Minimum Wage for this time period was $5.15/hour. That is the absolute minimum that you were supposed to pay people and there were/are so many employers who will only pay that amount. At $5.15/hour, if you work 40 hours a week, you might bring home $150/week after taxes. That's barely $600/month!
This book is considered one of the pioneers of the movement to raise the minimum wage & to really take a look at how our local and federal government work to protect their citizens. There were so many people who Barbara met during her journey who gave her as much as they had themselves. It gave a new face to the working poor by showing that not everyone is content to sit on their duff accepting government help. Most of these people are hard-working, upstanding citizens who just can't seem to make ends meet well.
I suggest this book to anyone taking an economics or social studies class. It was written in a very accessible and funny manor so that everyone can enjoy it and take away the necessary lessons. I picked this book up in my high school library, but it wasn't until it was assigned reading as a freshman in college, that I took the time to really read it in detail. It might help put the current economic climate into a little more perspective if you can look at where we came from and what has changed between then and now. I leave you with the words of famous author Mark Twain, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." Neither should you. :)

Millions of Americans work for poverty-level wages, and one day Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that any job equals a better life. But how can anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 to $7 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich moved from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, taking the cheapest lodgings available and accepting work as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart salesperson. She soon discovered that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and physical efforts. And one job is not enough; you need at least two if you intend to live indoors. Nickel and Dimed reveals low-wage America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate strategies for survival. Instantly acclaimed for its insight, humor, and passion, this book is changing the way America perceives its working poor.

Sleeve Tattoos
Half sleeve tattoos generally start at the very top of the shoulder and run down below the bicep, often to the elbow. However some people refer to half sleeves as starting at the elbow and running down to the wrist. Then again, i suppose there is two halves to every arm, so both estimations would be correct.
This picture gallery showcases some very beautiful and quite colorful sleeve tattoos which are seen on men, but look just as amazing on women as well.

Unlike their male counterpart, its far less common to see women with sleeve tattoos, however its not complete rare either. Women tend to prefer a single tattoo design on the forearm area or perhaps a compilation of two pieces of art.

Forearm Tattoos For Women
Julia knows she's not normal. Being able to feel other people's emotions isn't normal, but she's dealing with it. She has learned to avoid crowds and has even become popular among new mothers for her amazing ability to so accurately interpret their babies' needs. So it comes as no surprise that she is walking home, alone, through the woods, when she senses an intense blood-lust. Terrified, she runs and falls over a cliff only to be rescued by the dashing Nicholas.
After several whirlwind interactions, Julia finally realizes that there is something off about Nicholas. He's different every time she sees him and he's always on his way somewhere else, but he can be so sweet to her. When kids in her school start disappearing and Nicholas is all too familiar with the details, Julia begins to question everything she knows about him and the missing teens.
I can't really explain it well, but this book is best described as "foggy." There was so much that was unclear in this book, not just the storyline but the writing as well. It was so blasรฉ that I couldn't really jive with it. While we get to know Julia quite well, as she is very self-aware, I felt like the other characters were empty. There was nothing to them or their plot-lines.
What I certainly missed in all of this was the fact that this was going to be a vampire book. That really irked me. I would have preferred an every day serial killer to vampires. The scenes were so familiar and yet so irritating. There was no comfort or enjoyment in this book for me.
In summation, this book just completely underwhelmed me. While I know there are people who have enjoyed this book, I am not among them. Although if you like alternative vampire lore, try it out.
