You'll be 'tempted' to keep reading long into the night!
Sophomore, and resident Waverly Academy It Girl, Jenny Humphrey, was on the brink of being expelled from Waverly, after taking the fall for the fire that burned down the Miller barn. Jenny knew that she was innocent of the crime, but with all of the rumors swirling around about her, she figured she would be better off back home in the City. Bags packed at the ready, and headed towards a cab, ...

Girls Like Us
I gave this book to my 68 year old wife for mother's day and she absolutely loved it. My daughter, who lives in the Netherlands, and her 40 something friends, are also reading it and loving it. They want to know what is behind their mothers' sixties attitudes.

I am now obsessed with tudor england
I must say, before reading this book, I was never interested in reading historical fiction of any sort (the only historical time period I was ever really fascinated with was Ancient Egypt) but after having failed to see the movie version of "the other boleyn girl" while it was in theatres, I decided to give the novel a chance, and I was glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it, from minute to end. In ...

Jennifer McMahon is a Genius!
I was not aware that this book had come out and when I saw it at Borders I immediately scooped it up. After being thoroughly entranced with Ms. McMahon's previous effort "Promise Not to Tell", I knew I would love this book as well. She has such a knack for fluid story telling, extremely well fleshed out characters and an uncanny ability of being able to draw you in from word one. Her subject ...

Great book!
I loved this beautifully written book. In the hands of another writer, Sarah could easily be annoying and unlikeable. But Crouch has managed to create a lost and self-destructive character who nonetheless charms the reader. My one quibble is not with the book itself but the with the marketing. "Girls in Trucks" is really a series of stand-alone stories which together make up a cohesive ...

My favorite cook book right now
I couldn't disagree with W. Mate's review more. First of all, I have made the peanut butter fudge several times and you can't even taste the pumpkin. It was fudgy and moist and sooooo good. I think the recipes are clever and fun. They have all turned out well, and I'm finding staying focused on my diet (staying under 1400 calories a day) much easier. The recipes featuring the almost-no-calories ...

Gossip Girl is back...with a vengeance
Once upon a time, the Upper East Side was ruled by three glamazons - Serena van der Woodsen, Blaire Waldorf, and Nate Archibald. But, upon growing up, our favorite drama queens, fashionistas, and stoners up and left the enchanted New York City playground they called their home, off to bigger and better things. Someone has to take their place, of course. Which brings us to a new trio of ...

The feelings book brought me a tear..of satisfaction!
This was quite helpful and informative for a book aimed at preteens, yet highly accessible and understandful. It offers great tips and advice, especially on dealing with feelings and seeing them in a healthy, real perspective. I even used this for an essay I had to write! J'adore! ^_^ (p.s. everyone should real Twilight.)

Fantastic!
I love way Joanne Harris paints her books - you can smell, taste, hear, see what the characters do. It's so atmospheric, "try me, taste me". The 3 different points of view that this book shares with it's readers gives such a full description of what's going on - and how the characters feel about it. It is a darker, richer confection than Chocolat - for a more grownup taste. I highly recommend ...

Excellent Book, and very moving.
This book is one of those books that have quite an affect on you. By the time I was done I had a bit more of knowledege of how slavery really was. Clearly I had no idea until I read it. I really wanted to cry so many times during the book. Everyone should read this book.

I'd give it 10 stars if I could
Reviewed by Danielle Feliciano for Reader Views (1/08) As a fan of Ms. Jackson's previous two books, I felt honored to have a chance to read and review her upcoming book, "the girl who stopped swimming." This book far exceeded any expectations I may have had for this author. Her character development is beyond brilliant. She brings her characters to life and makes them relatable to any ...

Good sense! Don't leave home without it!
A Smart Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations is an absolutely wonderful book for preteens about some of the weird situations that people of any age can find themselves in. With very appealingly silly illustrations, the book covers the expected items like flunking a test, not getting picked for a team, looking goofy in photos, etc. However, there are some serious situations that are beautifully ...

Wonderful Book!!!
I have always fought against my curls, but this year I decided to embrace them. I bought "The Curly Girl" and followed some very easy step by step instructions!!! Now, I LOVE my curls!! The most important thing, for me, was getting rid of my everyday shampoo/conditioner. They were drying my hair! I now only use products that are labeled "no SLS". I find them at the local health food store. ...

Phenomenal book written from an aberrant point of view
Fabulous work that I could physically not put down. This book is to stripping what The Naked Ape is to humans. The author does not go for the easy kill of a tell all recollection of crazy times, rather she approaches the subject more from an anthropologists point of view but in a hysterical way. Cody is truly craftswoman with words, able to compress hilarious descriptions of disgusting ...

A delicious series that will definitely give you something to talk about!
The Upper East Side used to be overrun with plastic surgery happy society women, and spoiled tots torturing their high-priced nannies. But times have changed. While these people still occupy a small portion of the sidewalks, they have been pushed aside for a new generation of beautiful people. Teenagers brought up in the lap of luxury, who spend their days buying overpriced La Perla undergarments ...

From Nice Girl to Leader
I use this book all the time in my life leadership coaching with women whether they work in corporations or they're entrepreneurs because for women to succeed anywhere they have to grow to overcome their own self-limiting behaviors and beliefs. What I love about this book is how clearly the 101 mistakes are organized under 7 broad areas. I am not big on quizzes because they often stop at ...

Best in the series
Donna Leon has created a winner with this latest book in the Brunetti series. David Colacci does his usual excellent job of interpreting the voices. Learning the inner workings of the Venice police force is fascinating. Both story lines are interesting and are resolved in interesting ways. No pat endings for Leon. She can't write fast enough for me. One word of advice, start at athe ...
