Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

WALT DISNEY: AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

Walt Disney: An American Original - Bob Thomas Walt Disney has always been someone I admired as a child and probably more so now as an adult. He inspired so many and this book describes about how it did not just come easy for Walt. Every thing he did was hard and he had to work even harder to work for what he believed in. Whether it was lying about his age to go into the Red Cross or talking up a movie before it was even made that it would be great. There are sides to Walt Disney that was not perfect or definitely not simple. No, Walt was not a simple man. From even a young age he showed imagination and potential. As did his brother Roy always by his side.
I am more inspired as a person to work harder after reading this book. It seems that Walt saw potential in everything and everybody he saw or met. I am lucky enough to have seen some of his creations like movies and Walt Disney World. Even if some of it did not pan out as he envisioned. A very inspiring man and book.
