Kristen Tsetsi
Penxhere Press, 2007
Awesome!
Every once in a while I will start a book and never want it to end. It's very rare. I usually enjoy finishing a book so I can get started on a new one.
But with Kristen Tsetsi's 'Homefront', I wish it was a never ending serial novel, with new chapters appearing magically every day.
I was supposed to start this book weeks ago, but because of work and school assignments I had to put it off until ...

Marsha Canham
Dell, 1999
Excellent story! Romance and mystery that keep you at the edge of your seat.
Great stories like this one are so rare. Something more than sex and a frivolous plot... A tale that gets me completely enthralled. Canham has written some of my favorite books (Blood of Roses, Pride of Lions), and she has written some that were a big disappointment for me (In the Shadow of Midnight). "Swept Away" is definitely one of her best.
Annaleah is a young heiress whose parents ...

WOW
This book changed the way I viewed myself in this world. It really helped me change from a depressed teen to someone who sees themself as a smart, beautiful and loving person. I did a presentation of this book and the presentation actually changed lives. A must for teen girls!!!

Ballantine Books, 1988
If you like Harry Potter, you'll love this series!
At the ages of 7-9, I was a very sick little girl. After coming home from getting stuck by needles at the doctor's office, my mom bought me this book. I think I finished the book in just under 2 days. I just couldn't put it down! It has everything; adventure, romance, drama, magic, and of course... unicorns! What an escape for anyone with an active imagination! This was a dose of girl-power and ...

Come Away My Beloved33 reviews
Frances J. Roberts
Barbour Publishing, Incorporated, 2002
Most precious book, best book I've ever read
I first got this book as a gift in 1996 and it's been a great part of my daily life all these years. I've bought several copies over the years for family and friends and it's the most beloved book and heart touching devotional I've ever read. I've never read it cover to cover, but instead pray for direction and open to where I'm lead. God has never failed me and spoken to my heart every time ...

The Farthest - Away Mountain32 reviews
Listening Library, 1997
One of my most memorable and happy part of my childhood
I remember my mother reading this book to my twin sister and me. It was a hard back copy that she had gotten from the Library. My sister and I would come down out of our bunk beds and sit on the floor with my mother as we were enthralled to listen to her read this story. I loved the colored snow and the gargoyals. When I was married and had my first child I desired to read this book to my son ...

The Breakaway Cook: Recipes That Break Away from the Ordinary23 reviews
Eric Gower
William Morrow Cookbooks, 2007
Definitely a "must have" cookbook
I buy cookbooks as a hobby but this is one of the very few cookbooks that I have actually used more than a few times. The first recipe I tried was "Minty, Meaty Wontons". Sounds exotic and difficult, but it was actually easy to prepare and incredibly tasty. Then I went on to try "Minty, Boozy Chicken" and "Pizzettas". All were a hit with my family and friends. Eric's recipes are original, ...

Not just for the top execs
I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. I had the opportunity to work with Tom and Gus for a few years back when they first birthed Systems Consulting Group. I spent quite a bit of time with Gus and noticed from day one that he had an uncanny way with people. So I paid close attention and began to soak up all I could. I'm not wired like Gus is motivationally, nor am I gifted with his charismatic ...

An Invisible Man: The Hunt for a Serial Killer Who Got Away With a Decade of Murder12 reviews
Stephanie A. Stanley
Berkley, 2006
VERY WELL WRITTEN
I read loads of true crime, and this one is very well written and is a good story. I wasn't familiar with this case and I like to learn the details of a case as I go along, and that is the way this is written. Some true crimes give the ending away in a preface, or a first chapter which I do not like. This is very a very intersting case of a serial killer, and I can only imagine the horror this ...

Flannery O'Connor : Collected Works : Wise Blood / A Good Man Is Hard to Find / The Violent Bear It Away / ...13 reviews
Flannery O'Connor
Library of America, 1988
Just Read It All
The complaints about the poor organization of the collection can be overcome by simply reading it from front to back. Surely it is that good.
My foray into the works of Flannery O'Connor, a southern, gothic author of darkly humorous novels and short stories came via a recommendation in Harold Bloom's, "What to Read and Why." As it turned ot, I had read one of her short stories, "A Good Man ...

Laura Pedersen
Story Line Press, 2001
Original, thoughtful, engaging
Dove into this after enjoying Pedersen's wonderfully heartbreaking but humorous novel "Last Call." Now we move from Brooklyn, NY, to the Midwest. Anyone who has ever been a teenager or attempted to raise one will love "Going Away Party," which sums up so many of the conflicts inherent in coming of age today. Technology and the high cost of education have changed the landscape and not always ...

Prosperity Classic
In 1988, Forbes magazine's annual list of America's most wealthy listed Charles F Feeney as the 23rd richest American alive, whose personal worth of $1.3 billion was greater than Rupert Murdoch or Donald Trump. In fact, four years earlier Feeney had secretly given away almost his entire fortune to a philanthropic trust. He had enough to live on for the rest of his life, but no longer even owned a ...

Schyler Henderson and Veronica Overton share more than they realize when they first become enchanted with one another. However being on opposite sides of the court case Schyler has brought against the child services agency that Veronica heads does not provide them with the immediate trust ...
