Andrew Ross Sorkin
Viking Adult, 2009
The Definitive Book of the Financial Crisis of 2008
This book is the authoritative version of the market turmoil that brought the financial system to its knees in the Fall of 2008. It deserves its place in the pantheon of financial classics such as When Genius Failed, Liar's Poker, and Barbarian's at the Gate. The author tells a gripping behind-the-scenes narrative that is highly readable and entertaining. Especially for a New York Times reporter, ...

Love JD Robb
Loved this book, but I loved it the first time I bought it when it was called "Rember When". It came out the first time with a book from Nora Roberts attached called Hot Rocks. Nora and JD are the same author and i love everything she writes. Was not happy to pop open the book this weekend home sick in bed to find out I had bought a book i already read and had in my library. I will continue ...

Big Girl: A Novel 5 reviews
Danielle Steel
Delacorte Press, 2010
Entertaining and Heartfelt Danielle Steel book
This is one of the best Danielle Steel books I have read over the past few years. I cannot put this book down; this is a page turner.
Danielle Steel's story is about an overweight girl, Victoria Dawson, and her emotionally/verbally abusive parents regarding her weight. Even after Victoria moves to New York and starts a teaching job at a private school, she still has issues with her weight. ...

I'm a Big Sister95 reviews
Joanna Cole
HarperFestival, 2010
Directed towards children ages 2-5
"I'm A Big Sister" is the perfect book for a child who has welcomed a new baby brother or sister recently. Cheerful text and illustrations explain how babies come, and what to expect when you are the older sister. Most important, "I'm A Big Sister" reinforces the positive self image of the older sibling who may feel occasionally eclipsed by the newcomer who needs so much care and attention. Also ...

The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America74 reviews
Timothy Egan
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009
Probably one of the most thrilling histories of the past decade
Egan does what few historical writers manage to pull off in the way that he gives the narrative such an intense arc. Fascinating details made all the more so in that I was listening to the audio book as I drove through Wallace, ID on I-90.

The Magic of Thinking Big203 reviews
David Schwartz
Fireside, 1987
This book can do real magic! All time classic and favorite!
I must say, "This is the best self-help book ever written!" No sweet talk and just good common sense advice on hundreds of common "thought traps" that people of all ages fall into.
This books just phenomenal and simply put, the first book anybody should read if looking to improve their personality and grow mentally for greater success and better life. I am amazed to see how many changes this ...

I'm a Big Brother99 reviews
Joanna Cole
HarperFestival, 2010
Good - just note bottle-feeding emphasis
This book gets a lot right. It smartly fosters a sense of pride in becoming an older sibling. It stresses that newborns aren't capable of walking, talking, or playing. It emphasizes they mostly sleep, feed, and cry. I like that it suggests older siblings ask a parent before handling a baby. Just be aware that it doesn't show breastfeeding - only bottle-feeding. Not a problem if you don't ...

Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook309 reviews
Andrew Doughty
Wizard Publications Inc., 2008
Don't bother with any other book
This was our first trip to the Hawaiian Islands. We were on the big island 4 days. The suggestion to stay on one side of the island was dead on. We found it very hard to see even the one side in the time we had.
Their reccomendation of the Volcano House (they booked us in the Volcano Inn) was absolutely perfect for us. Amazingly inexpensive lodging (less than $100 per night TOTAL, in a ...

The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes44 reviews
Bryan Burrough
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2010
Very Interesting Read
As a native Texan this book was an incredibly interesting read. Furthermore as the book progresses it becomes obvious that the subject and influence of Texas oil extends FAR beyond the borders of the Lone Star State.
The book is well written and a very easy read. It does not dwell needlessly on the technical aspects of the oil industry, but rather focuses on the culture and people that ...

One of our ministry's main goals is to teach parents to teach their kids the greatness, sovereignty and worth of God. This book teaches exactly that through small daily studies.

The Big Sleep123 reviews
Raymond Chandler
Vintage, 1988
A Masterpiece
I finished my last Raymond Chandler novel sitting on a bus in Whittier, and the knowledge that I would never again get to read a new Chandler was one of the low moments in my life. Everything that can be said about Philip Marlowe and about his creator has already been said. Other than Dashell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, Chandler has no peers.
