Rutka's Notebook: A Voice from the Holocaust 3 reviews
Editors of Time Magazine, Yad Vashem
Time / Yad Vashem, 2008
Unadorned
There are some stories that need no adornment. This is one. Rutka Laskier was 14 and she knew she was going to die. Likely, contacts from the underground told her family of the death camps. She wrote in a diary. She sees an old man beaten to death. A soldier bludgeoning a child. She does not believe there is a God. "if only I could say, it's over, you die only once...but I can't, despite all ...

The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook Child Psychiatrist's ... 12 reviews
Bruce Perry, Maia Szalavitz
Basic Books, 2007
Brilliant and heartening
Assisted by a talented science writer, child psychiatrist Bruce Perry presents a series of heartbreaking stories of children severely damaged by trauma. But that's only one side of this remarkable book. The other side is how many of these profoundly damaged children were assisted to heal.
Perry explains his "neurosequential" approach that sequentially targets brain regions left undeveloped by ...

The Golden Notebook: Perennial Classics edition (Perennial Classics) 24 reviews
Doris Lessing
Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 1999
A book that transcends it's own time
I am a long time fan of Doris Lessing. However, for me, this is her greatest work. It tackles a myriad of issues and is just as relevant today as it was then and would have been a hundred years before.
I could see myself in her protagonist Anna Wulf when I read this book 20 years ago and, upon re-reading it recently, I find even more insights now.
Certainly, one of the greatest novels ...

Gordon MacKenzie
Viking Adult, 1998
Living Outside the Box and Coloring Outside the Lines.
For those who were born living outside the box and coloring outside the lines..........this book was written for us. Humorous, accurate and great advice on how to survive and even thrive within a large company/corporation.
I clearly understand the dynamics he writes about. I survived and even thrived for the last 10 of my 28 years in a large company. I wish I would have had this book back ...

And from out of left field comes...
Children's librarians must find books to add to their collections from a wide variety of different sources. They read professional serials like Horn Book and School Library Journal. They receive Advanced Readers Copies and read clever blogs that always discuss new titles (cough). Far less professional but no less important, however, is the regular trip to the large corporate bookstore with the ...

Entrepreneur's Notebook: Practical Advice for Starting a New Business Venture16 reviews
Steven K. Gold
Learning Ventures Press, 2006
Practical, Hands-On Guide for Novice--or Seasoned--Entrepreneurs
Gold goes far beyond the typical "here's the difference between a C Corporation and an LLC" to explain not only the nuts-and-bolts of finding business partners, forming a company, marketing your products/services, and writing a business plan, but also--and perhaps even more importantly--how to *think about* being an entrepreneur and how to make the critical decisions that can make or break any ...

Ralph Fletcher

I Teach My Creative Writing Students with this Book
I was introduced to Ralph Fletcher's A Writer's Notebook this during the Coastal Area Writing Project, Coastal Carolina University, Janet Files. This "project" is an intensive, 4 week writing "submersion" for teachers. We learn how to teach our students how to write. Really write. Not how to write an essay for test, but to write descriptively and passionately.
I now use this great book, which ...

The Notebook1476 reviews
Nicholas Sparks
Warner Books, 2004
Great romantic read
This is a must read for anyone interested in romance and the quest for "true love". Far better than the movie, IMO, read the book and relive all the omitted parts. As Nicholas Sparks did for me, this book will be tugging and those heart strings once again. Very few authors can really pull that off to my satisfaction.

Moleskine Ruled Notebook Large1 review
Moleskine, 2008
The Positive Talk is Right!
I've heard these books are wonderful. I take a lot of notes at my job. Having struggled with wire bound books (the bindings getting bent or snagging clothing) and being teased about being too old to use composition books, these notebooks are a joy to use. The attached ribbon bookmark and elastic band close have come in handy to use. The paper is smooth and a heavier weight than other ...

THE best!
As a fairly new watercolorist, I have purchased many, many books on the subject in an attempt to gain skills, learn techniques, expand my thinking, etc., etc. Some of those books have been helpful, but usually only a page or two of a 60-page book was exactly what I was looking for. In other words, I was disappointed! Long introduction to say that THIS watercolor book exceeded all my ...

The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy Boxed Set: Griffin & Sabine/Sabine's Notebook/The Golden Mean81 reviews
Nick Bantock
Chronicle Books, 1994
Beautiful & Inspiring
I first stumbled upon Griffin & Sabine in a tiny bookshop on my college campus. Years later I still re-read it and think about it often. The story is enchanting and the format of reading the correspondence through letters and postcards is very engaging. The artwork is creative and lovely as well, and I find myself returning to the books for inspiration again and again. Owning the boxed-set is a ...
