Robert A. Slade, after collecting old fishing tackle since 1958 and contributing articles on old fishing lures for a collector magazine for several years started researching and writing books in the 1990's. He published the History & Collectible Fishing Tackle Of Wisconsin in 1999 which sold 4,500 copies. Bob realized that even though there have been many books published on the subject of old fishing lures that few books covered any detailed history on the old lure makers. His latest book writing project was nine years in the making and covers over 100 years of lure making history starting in 1875 and covers over 2,500 lures makers throughout all of North America. The Encyclopedia Of Old Fishing Lures Made In North America is the first publication with extensive history and patent information on old lure makers and the first to include extensive coverage on Canadian lure makers. The author traveled to 11 states and 3 Canadian Providences visiting collectors homes, newspaper archives, museums and other sources and has taken over 10,000 pictures in preparing the historical stories for these books. The set of books arranges for the individual and company lures makers to appear in alphabetical order. Each book has over 400 pages of text, pictures and collector values with each book containing a table of contents and index as well as a master index for the complete set of books.

Really good! Could have had 5 stars but…
Format: Kindle
I thought this book was an easy and entertaining read. The MCs had some depth, and the angsty lead up to these two colliding was very well done. I love them together, I felt their chemistry, and this book could have had five stars if it wasn’t for the weirdly rushed and unbelievable way the ending was written. The back and forth was ridiculous and it seems she can’t change the way she has originally perceived him - as a rich, pompous jerk (despite only having his expensive kitchenware and childhood snark as her evidence). Then we are supposed to believe that out of no where, for no reason (apart from finding out he’s moving) she suddenly wants him back? And then despite how hurtful her words had been, he takes her back? Idk this ending was messy, and there didn’t seem to be enough written or enough plot for any of this to be believable. I won’t disregard the entire story because I didn’t like the ending, but I do wish it had been better.

Here's Three Reasons Why You Should Read This Book
Format: Hardcover
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
I'm going to write this review a bit differently than I normally do, by telling you three things:
1. I am definitely reading more from Julie Buxbaum in the future.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I truly enjoyed this novel. There was so much to love about it, and while the underlying story wasn't revolutionary, I loved the unique way Julie Buxbaum navigated the topic of high school and feeling out of place. There was just something special about her writing style, as well as the characters she created. You will easily fall in love with the story and the characters, especially Jessie (our MC). I never got tired of reading this book, in fact, I actually didn't want to stop reading it! Julie Buxbaum managed to tell a story that was filled with sadness and depth, mixed with humor and fun. Yes, I figured out who S.N. was pretty early on (as I suspect most other readers will too), but this certainly didn't detract from the story in any way. In fact, it keeps you reading because you want to see how Jessie and S.N.'s story unfolds.
2. This book is incredibly real and raw, and that's the reason I loved it so much.
“Just because you're strong doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for help sometimes. Remember that.”>
Tell Me Three Things leaves you with a whole bunch of emotions all at once. The story instantly transports you back to when you were 16 and in high school (if you're an older reader like myself that is). And honestly, Julie Buxbaum just gets it. She captures exactly how it feels to be on the outside looking in, when you have multiple fears of not only the future but just how you're going to survive in this world where it seems like no one wants to be your friend. She captures just what it means when you hesitate being yourself because your insecure about who you are and you're not quite sure of anything or anyone.
“He's more like me, I think: burdened with the realization that what goes on his mind is somehow different from what goes on everyone else's. Even those close to us. And how you can't think about that for too long, because that thought- the truth of your own isolation- is too much to bear.”
Countless readers will be able to relate to Jessie because she is you and me and pretty much everyone trying to navigate the crazy world that is high school. Ultimately, Julie Buxbaum created very human characters that show what it means to be a teenager today. It also makes you wonder what if you had someone like S.N. to help you out during your experience. Would things have been different? I wish I had this book when I was 16 because this book would have probably been my lifeline in many ways. But the one excellent thing about this novel is that it reminds all of us to sometimes just let it all go, and let things happen the way they are supposed to. Trust the journey because you never know who might reach out and come into your life.
3. You need to read this book now!
I high recommend adding this book to your TBR right away, and the reading it as soon as possible. There is so much to love about this book and I think everyone will have a different experience while reading. Some might not like it, but if you're like me, you'll find something to take away from Jessie's character. It was a quick-read that will appeal to many contemporary fans. This is a story of love, friendship, and finding yourself. But it is also a story of acceptance.
Happy reading :)

Because a Nobody is always a Somebody
Format: Kindle
Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum
4.5 stars!!!
“In the Venn diagram of my life, my imagined personality and my real personality have never converged. Over email and text, though, I am given those few additional beats I need to be the better, edited version of myself. To be that girl in the glorious intersection.”
I love a good YA, despite my forty-two years of age. When a YA is done well, age is just a number and the story has the capacity to transport you back to your teens and this is what Julie Buxbaum did. This book was the perfect balance of emotion, banter and wit and with poetic prose that keeps those pages turning you will find yourself turning the last page before you know it or want it.
“Maybe home doesn’t have to be a place.”
Jessie’s mother died two years ago, she thought that was the worst of it, but her father drops a doozie, he has eloped, got married and now they need to pack their bags and move to Chicago to move into the home of her step-mother and her son. Leaving the home she loves and her friends behind Jessie is despondent especially when she sees what a far cry from her norm her step-mothers home really is.
“One of the worst parts about someone dying is thinking back to all those times you didn’t ask the right questions, all those times you stupidly assumed you’d have all the time in the world. And this too: how all that time feels like not much time at all. What’s left feels like something manufactured. The overexposed ghosts of memories.”
With a mansion, a fancy private school, a pain in the arse step brother and a step mother that just keeps trying Jessie feels like one tiny little fish in an ocean of posh, entitled sharks. Jessie struggles to fit in at school, friendship dynamics that have been born since birth and social standing are hard to infiltrate and with cliques as tight as theirs Jessie was fighting a losing battle. The new girl is the easy target.
“Welcome. To. The. Jungle.”
Fresh blood in school means new eye candy and it isn’t long before Jessie captures unwanted attention, but it seems she has found an ally, if only she knew who it was. “Somebody Nobody” is her intel, a friend who wishes to remain anonymous and gives Jessie the lay of the land, who to trust and who to befriend. They soon become fast friends communicating only through words, but it is these words that Jessie becomes reliant upon and the more they communicate the more she wants to know who it is.
“Perfect days are for people with small, realizable dreams. Or maybe for all of us, they just happen in retrospect; they’re only now perfect because they contain something irrevocably and irretrievably lost.”
This was a fantastic read, I adored everything about it and while I “knew” who “Somebody Nobody” was I wasn’t really, truly sure until the reveal happened. You know who want it to be, but the thought of it not being them was heart breaking.
“He’s more like me, I think: burdened with the realization that what goes on in his mind is somehow different from what goes on in everyone else’s. Even those closest to us.”
Julie Buxbaum perfectly navigates school life and that constant ache to fit in, to be somebody, to be seen for who you really are, not what people want to see. The difficulties of life after death on both child and lone parent and the impact moving on really has. But most of all it was about friendships, the companionships, the highs and lows and finally about love. Getting to know that someone so deeply, without a face, without an image, to sway perceptions…know the person first. Adored it!!

Spoilers ahead...
Format: Kindle
Sometimes in life, you come across a book that is just so good and leaves you smiling for hours after you read it, and Tell Me Three Things is a book like that my friends. And because of that, my actual review is going to be littered with spoilers, so read at your own risk!

Our story starts with Jessie, who's just moved to California from Chicago because her dad remarried after her mom died, receiving an email from Somebody Nobody (or SN for short) offering her help and advice to settle into her new school. SN is sweet, thoughtful, and intriguing, and soon they leave their email conversation behind and begin IMing. SN knows who Jessie is, but Jessie has no idea who SN is. As she deals with coping with her mom's death, moving across the country, her new stepmother and brother, and dealing with being the new kid, she also tries to discover the identity of SN. Will the identity be obvious to you, the reader? Yes. Of course. This is YA, not rocket science. And if you have an issue with knowing the ending before it happens, then this genre isn't for you. Just like if you have issues with "lots of girl-on-girl hate" as multiple reviews called it, then YA probably isn't the genre for you. She's 16. And has runs in with mean girls who call her names in class and trip her so hard she bruises her face. So yeah, Jessie isn't Gem's biggest fan. Shock-er.
I loved how real the issues were in this book, and how well written the teens were as they dealt with them. It seems to be a trend in YA to have more explicit scenes (which I am so not a fan of), but the way that sex was handled in this book was more realistic (still not 100% necessary for the plot, but whatevs). It was raw, it was confusing, it was... everything it would be if 2 16 year olds are discussing it - which, fyi it's Jessie and her best friend Scarlett discussing if Scarlett should have sex with her new boyfriend, and one of Jessie's new friends discussing her experience. Jessie seemed to have this air of maturity about her as she discussed sex with the various friends and in how she handled coping with her mother's death. It's definitely a tear jerker topic, but the author handles it oh-so-perfectly.
I adored the character development. On Jessie's quest to discover SN's identity and adjust to new life in CA, she meets 2 new girlfriends (one, per SN's suggestion) and 3 boys. Unlike other reviewers have suggested, there really isn't a love triangle here. Jessie begins to fall for SN, thinks rando Caleb could be SN, starts to like Ethan after they pair up for an English assignment, and starts to maybe, kind of, sort of form an awkward friendship with Liam. She obviously sees SN in everyone, and uses any small clue to try and guess his identity. So again, yes the identity of SN is obvious to the reader (or at least, it's obvious that it's not Caleb), but that's not really the point.
The point is to follow a girl through her story, and the author does a brilliant job at steering us through it. The characters, the insecurities, the texting and emailing, it was all just so good!
I loved the three things SN and Jessie would share back and forth! Such a cute way to get to know someone new (and then fall for them). I loved the bond that was forged between SN and Jessie, Jessie and her new friends, and Jessie and the new boys. I loved the back and forth of Jessie's feelings as she tried to discover who SN really is. I even loved the awkwardness of all three of the potential SNs showing up when she was finally meeting him. I felt Jessie's nerves as she's trying to get out of answering Liam's question and graple with disappointment thinking he's the SN she's been falling for. I felt Ethan's panic as he realizes what took place right before he arrived and tries to save the situation before Jessie answers. I loved it. It was done so well.
Pretty much the only thing I did not love about this book was the ending. It was poetic and perfect, and exactly what the story called for. I just happen to be very selfish and would like more. Like, a lot more. An epilogue would've been nice, but another 2 or so chapters would've been better. I want to know more! I want to see more! I want to see Jessie and Ethan both get a happy ending beyond just their first, sweet kiss. What's the real beef the boys have? What happens to Ethan's mom? How does the meeting of the parents go? What about school? Do things get better for Jessie now that she's with Ethan and officially not interested in Liam? Can I just get a liiiiiitle bit more time with them as a couple? Pretty, pretty puh-leaseeeee? I swear I would still walk away with a satisfied smile on my face.
(As a side note, her English teacher really bothered me as a young teacher myself. Everyone can hear Gem coughing her insults and the teacher never once says, "Enough"? Like... okay...? It made me cringe. Some obviously gets tripped in her class, and she asks not the tripper, but the trip to stay behind and talk to her? No, no, no, no. No. And then the way she talked to Jessie the first time... ugh. I'm glad she apologized, but like, lady, come on.)
Bottom line is this: it's a story that deals with some heavy topics, and it handles them really well. It's also a book that just plain nails being YA literature. It is sweet, and raw, and authentic. I highly recommend it. To you, to my girlfriends, and to my students.
