Toll the Hounds: Book Eight of The Malazan Book of the Fallen 42 reviews
Steven Erikson
Tor Fantasy, 2009
Meant to be Savored
If you're someone who devourers books in one or two sittings I don't think you'll get as much out of this book as otherwise you might. The writing itself is beautiful and is on a level that makes it difficult for me to read most other people's offerings as they just don't measure up. As always, Mr. Erikson broke my heart after making me love his characters. Being incredibly powerful in these ...

The Fashion Hound Murders: Josie Marcus, Mystery Shopper (Josie, Marcus Mystery Shopper)6 reviews
Elaine Viets
Signet, 2009
Funny and has a great message
I have enjoyed all of the previous Josie Marcus mysteries and this one is no exception. The book had a great mixture of romance, humor, and mystery. I found the scenes where Josie dealt with her jealousy toward her best friend, Alice's new dog-obsessed fried to be amusing. The mystery involving the use of puppy mills was very well utilized in educating and sending a message about the abuse of ...

Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles199 reviews
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
CreateSpace, 2009
My Dear Watson
Interesting from the first page. There's already a mystery to be solved right when you open the book, with a mysterious cane left in Watson and Sherlock's office.
Doyle keeps each page filled with suspense and thrills. Even as I read, I could hear the low, mournful sound of the hound that Stapleton keeps locked up baying across the moor.
The characters are amazing and funny. Sherlock Holmes ...

Calling all Baker Street Irregulars
While most people have read at least one Sherlock Holmes stories others have not only read them all but have studied every detail of them. The author, Leslie Klinger, is one of the latter group. He is one of the foremost experts on the 'Canon' as devotees call the Holmes stories, and a member of The Baker Street Irregulars, the oldest and most exclusive club of Holmes scholars.

Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (Tofu Hound Press)63 reviews
Bob Torres, Jenna Torres
PM Press, 2010
Vegan Freak
I'm a vegan, and I really enjoyed this book, and the practical advice they give. I particularly enjoyed the sections on how to deal with "helpful" (aka overbearing and idiotic) family and friends. It made me laugh, when so many people have made me cry! It's nice to know that I'm not alone!

The Brothers of Gwynedd Quartet: Comprising Sunrise in the West, the Dragon at Noonday, the Hounds of Sunset, ...17 reviews
Edith Pargeter, Ellis Peters
Headline Book Publishing, 1990
Historical fiction without the cheesiness
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is beautifully written and an insightful view on a must-read story.
I have read Sharon Penman's books as well. To compare them, I would say Penman's style contains more romance (especially Here Be Dragons, but improving with the later novels) where I prefer a historical novel that's more on the history side. I felt that I really learned more about the ...

I'm reading the whole series in a row!
I discovered this series after the A Time To... series and am in love with it. I love Riker. I am also liking Keru's sub story and the diversity it adds.

The Real Inspector Hound and Other Plays4 reviews
Tom Stoppard
Grove Press, 1998
The Game's a Foot.
In 'The Real Inspector Hound', neither the lampooning of the country-house murder-mystery warhorse, nor the digs at shallow and venal theatre critics, nor the use of Ionesco's dramatic anti-logic to warp the structure and language of the play, is particularly original or ambitious. Two critics with their own personal and professional axes to grind sit in an auditorium mirroring 'us' while ...

Listen 'n' Learn Spanish with Your Favorite Movies (Listen N Learn) 2 reviews

McGraw-Hill, 2009
What a great concept!
I couldn't believe it when I saw this on the shelf. I use this method frequently in my Spanish classes - we study a list of words, change the language in the DVD menu to Spanish, and then watch the movie in Spanish and discuss it in Spanish. It's a WONDERFUL way to improve your understanding and ability to speak the language, in a fun, non-stressful way.
This book has a very exhaustive list of ...

The four classic novels of Sherlock Holmes now available in a separate, attractively priced individual volume. The publication of Leslie S. Klinger's brilliant new annotations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's four classic Holmes novels in 2005 created a Holmes sensation. Available again in an attractively-priced edition identical to the first, except this edition has no outer slipcase. Klinger reassembles Doyle's four seminal novels in their ...

Alternative Vegan: International Vegan Fare Straight from the Produce Aisle (Tofu Hound Press)22 reviews
Dino Sarma
PM Press, 2010
Prepare for an Adventure in the kitchen
Here's what I love about Dino Sarna's Alternative Vegan - everything. Seriously, Dino's voice comes through in the most unostentatious and entertaining way as he coaches me to make changes, take risks, use what I have, not trip to the grocery for some obscure ingredient. Got this but not that? Use what you have. Can't afford top of the line cookware? Join the club and get yourself some used stuff ...

"Happy New Year - ted" A Revolutionary Crime Theory Theodore Bundy and the Columbus Stocking Stranglings3 reviews
Tim Wilson & Roger Keiss
Tracking Hound Press, 2009
FASCINATING READ!
Did Ted Bundy commit murders that were never attributed to him? This book uses strong detail with even stronger evidence to make that exact case. It's obvious from the first paragraph that these guys have done their homework. This book is a must for the serious crime reader. You'll be hard pressed to put this down once you start reading it, so be prepared!
