Horse Called Wonder (Thoroughbred Series #1)148 reviews
Joanna Campbell
HarperCollins, 1992
A horse lover's dream...
This book is about a girl who takes care of a sick filly. I loved this book because it's about a girl who wants to be a jockey and that's what I want to be. I think that the lady who wrote this book did a good job with the characters. She makes it seem like you've known them your whole life. My favorite character is Holly, the mare (Wonder's mom).
Whenever Ashleigh comes to see her she ...

Have A Nice Day: Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks687 reviews
Mankind
HarperCollins Publishers, 2003
Laugh, cry, get blown away with this spellbindingly heartfelt autobiography, with no ghostwriters attached!
Amazing that in a few weeks, Mick Foley poured his life and soul into 760 pages of notebook paper that would make it, lightly cut and without any major edits, onto book, and earn it's New York Times #1 Bestseller's List. If only it weren't for that Oprah! (readers of the book will understand)
Starting from childhood, he makes it quick, but sweet as he tells humorous stories about his friends, ...

Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and ...1036 reviews
Toni Weschler
HarperCollins, 2001
Amazing and empowering - this book changes lives
This book is so empowering for women. Thanks to Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I was able to determine I probably had PCOS (which I did) and was finally able to get pregnant after years of trying to conceive. I was even able to determine that I was probably having a girl when I was only three weeks pregnant! (I have a two-year-old daughter now.) I've used the TCOYF method for pregnancy ...

Into the Wild (Warriors, Book 1)225 reviews
Erin Hunter
HarperCollins, 2003
Not just for kids! Very Emotional!
As an adult, I feel that I have to tell you that this series will pull you in and make it extremely hard to put down. This is an emotional series where you get to know the characters and you will laugh, cry, get mad, and hope. Don't laugh, but I actually cried as I read the last few lines of this first series because it was like saying goodbye to all my friends. (At that time, the New Prophecy ...

Fancy Nancy148 reviews
Jane O'connor
HarperCollins, 2005
Cute, fun story for little girls
My daughter and I discovered Fancy Nancy at the library when we checked out Fancy Nancy & the Posh Puppy. She was enchanted with Fancy Nancy, and we were tickled when she began using some of Nancy's fancy words like "plume". So, I purchased the original Fancy Nancy for her as a gift. It's the cutest story about how Fancy Nancy decided to teach her family about being fancy, and how her family ...

TITANIC REDEUX
The scope of this majestic book truly befits the epic effort by James Cameron with his cinematic masterpiece "Titanic". Much great information here for the movie buff who likes to see how it is done. Incredible sets including the dining salon, complete even to dishes and decor. I was amazed to see how this particular set was pulled underwater by hydraulics to provide a very realistic feeling of ...

The Simpsons : A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family210 reviews
Groening Matt
HarperCollins, 1998
A must have for Simpson fans
It is hard pressed to find anyone who does not like the animated series "The Simpsons". "The Simpsons" is one of the longest running tv series and one of the funniest tv series in history. Unfortunately the last few seasons have been rather inconsistent and lacks the creativity and magic of the earlier episodes, nevertheless the show is a lot smarter and cutting edge than most tv series nowadays. ...

Musashi: An Epic Novel of the Samurai Era122 reviews
Eiji Yoshikawa, Charles S. Terry, ...
HarperCollins Publishers, 1981
A wondrous and highly satisfying novel
I read Musashi 15 years ago, and I remember it vividly. It's such a sweeping, wondrous novel, I'm surprised it's not more famous than it is. I became a bit of a Yoshikawa fan from this, and visited his home, preserved as a museum, outside Tokyo. A beautiful serene place. Musashi, in retrospect, was highly inspirational to me as a writer, in terms of pacing, character development, and raw ...

Much better than "The Secret Garden"
This book reminds me a lot of "The Secret Garden" without being quite as preachy and overly descriptive. My two daughters absolutely love this book and consider it one of their favorites.

Warrior's rule!
All of the Erin Hunter books are great! I just love them and have read them many times over. I am not a reader, I hate to read!!! But give me a Warrior series book and leave me alone for a few days. They are the best. Thanks Erin for opening up a new world for me.

Absolutely charming for ALL ages!
BOTTOM LINE:
Numeroff does it again!
Anyone who gives this less than 4 stars is a soulless android. There is NOTHING to not like about this book in a series of 'If you give a ...'! It is laugh out loud funny, great to read, and the pictures are cute and hilarious! The story has a nice touch of irony without forcing a MESSAGE.
I think its wonderful to have a children's book that is so ...

A Doctor in a Book
The Mayo Clinic Guide identifies and provides easy-to-find answers to many pregnancy FAQ's. It does not "speak down" to the reader. The information is rational and thorough so if you're experiencing a problem and are uncertain whether or not to call your ob provider, by the time you've read the section on your topic you'll at least have a clear idea of whether you need to be concerned enough to ...

My doctor recently diagnosed me with diabetes in addition to my longstanding problem of high cholesterol and high triglycerides, which was also affecting my liver. I was quite overweight but didn't really care until that point - there's always tomorrow to lose it, right? He put me on a cholesterol and triglyceride lowering medicine and told me I needed to lose weight. This time I took him ...
