Michael Thurmond
Wellness Central, 2006
It works, who would have thought?
I was really hoping that this book would work for me. yeah..another diet book. hum. But since I'm a big fan of extreme makeover I thought I'd give it a try.
I currently have 20 lbs to lose. I lost 7 lbs in 1 week. After 3 days I was able to get a pair of shorts past my thighs and was able to button them up without passing out!
The diet is a challenge to stick to. The first day was the day I ...

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, Book 1) 1008 reviews
Ann Brashares
Dell Books for Young Readers, 2005
Sisterhood of the traveling pants
Right now this series is a favorite among teen girls and their mothers. In the library I classify this series as 'warm and fuzzy'. It's an added benefit that girls and their moms are reading together. Even more warm and fuzzy.

Accounting ch 1-13 (7th Edition) (Charles T. Horngren Series in Accounting)
Charles T. Horngren, Walter T. Harrison
Prentice Hall, 2006
The Horngren System of instruction replicates the classroom experience by providing more “I get it” moments outside of class. We’ve talked to tons of POA instructors and our editors have even taken the accounting course (numerous times!) to figure out the following issue in this course that is consistent: Students understand (or “get it”) right after you do a problem in class, but as soon as they leave class, ...

Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants)132 reviews
Ann Brashares
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2008
Loved it!
Let me just start out saying that I loved this book! It exposed human nature and thought unlike a lot of books I have read. I can relate to a lot of their thoughts and insecurities, and this comforted me. Also, it was full of surprises--a few predictable ones, but a few not so predictable.
I was sad from the beginning that Win (Carmen's love interest in the 3rd one) was not in this ...

Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965 (African American History (Penguin))9 reviews
Juan Williams
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1988
An Excellent Primer
By now the number of volumes written on the Civil Rights Movement could fill whole libraries. Yet fifteen years later, this book still stands as one of the best introduction to the early years of the movement. Books such as Taylor Branch's Pillar of Fire and Parting the Waters may cover the same era of 1954 to 1965; this book is a good introduction for those who may be intimidated by Branch's ...

America's History: Volume 2: Since 1865 12 reviews
James A. Henretta, David Brody, ...
Bedford/St. Martin's, 2007
Comprehensive and detailed
American history can best be understood if the fundamental conditions that control both the social lives of ordinary people and the practice of politics are investigated through the decades. This means moving beyond conventional ways of organizaing a book around political events that historians like to think of as "turning points". Social change has a pace and rhythm of its own, and understaning ...

Great Summer Read!
I just finished reading this book. This book tells of the girls hardships and friendship over the next summer. Ann Brashares did a great job with this book. I really would recommend this to anybody, but you probably want to read the first one first. I was totally interesting in reading this book and couldn't keep it down. It truly was an amazing book. Lena falls back in love with Kostos but he ...

Culture, Economics, Stategy, and Corportate Functions
I've used previous editions of this text in my international business course, and have decided to adopt this one as well. The text does a great job of hitting every topic that international business people/corporations need to know. The text covers country differences, economics, strategy, and corporate functions.
Another Amazon review incorrectly suggested that the author of this text is ...

My Pants Are Haunted (Dear Dumb Diary #2)10 reviews
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2004
Dear Dumb Diary
Kids have you heard of the book DEAR DUMB DIARY? Well if you haven't, this book is funny. Also it is interesting because the girls in a middle school fall in love with Hudson, the cute guy in the school. Even though I think he looks ugly in the picture of him on page 7 of the book.
Three girls decide to give another girl a much needed makeover. This is a part of the book I mostly enjoyed. ...

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2006
Even the teens love these books!
I bought the first sisterhood of the traveling pants for my daughter when she was a young teen. Even now that she is 16 she still loves reading them. I was sure that even though she is older she could care less about them. But she insisted that I get the fourth book so she could see what was happening to the girls in the book... lol.. She LOVED it.

The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants 12 reviews
Tom Gegax, Phil Bolsta
Collins Business, 2007
Excellent wisdom and inspiration for the entrepreneur
As a new small business owner, I've devoured several books written on the topic of starting a business. Most have a few good kernels of knowledge in them somewhere, but none are as consistently helpful as this book.
The author, Tom Gegax, has a great deal of personal experience starting and growing companies, most of which seem to be in the tire industry. If you're business is not ...

Dan Brown
Atria, 2003
Excellent, Plot-twisting Thriller
An incredibly entertaining read. Thought provoking, fast-paced action. I had read The Davinci Code first, and was not sure that it would be as good as that book, but it definitely surpassed my expectations. I think this was even more enjoyable than The Davinci Code. I would highly recommend buying the Illustrated Editions. I have bought both of these Dan Brown titles in the Illustrated ...

Wonderful, clean, historical romance
Fancy Pants was the first of Cathy Marie Hake's books I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the characters lovable and some of the situations quite amusing. Cathy did a great job writing this book and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean romance with a little humor blended in. Cathy Marie Hake is definitely now on my list of favorite authors.

kids just love it!
We bought the entire Junie B book collection when we were on holiday in the States last year as they are very difficult to buy in Australia. It was so exciting to find that they were available on cd! Lana Quintal reads them so, so well. My two kids (aged 6 and 8) love them so much that we've had to stop them listening to them at bedtime (which was why we bought them!) as they weren't getting to ...

South-Western College Pub, 2005
Authors James D. Gwartney, Richard L. Stroup, Russell S. Sobel, and David Macpherson believe that a course on principles of economics should focus on the power and relevance of the economic way of thinking. It is this belief and corresponding writing approach that has made MICROECONOMICS: PRIVATE AND PUBLIC CHOICE one of South-Western's most solid and enduring texts. Throughout this text, the authors integrate applications and real-world data ...
