Blood Dreams (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novel) 28 reviews
Kay Hooper
Bantam, 2007
Like the series, not the best of them, though
Finally! Hooper is back with another paranormal thriller featuring Bishop and the Special Crimes Unit from the FBI. There is a serial killer operating in Boston without remorse. He's killed twelve women in a one month time period, and it seems that the only reason he's gone to ground is because the last one was a Senator's daughter, and the media has gone crazy. Bishop, usually reticent about ...

Phineas Mollod, Jason Tesauro

The authors gave an astonishingly educated outlook of the goings on of the modern gentleman in an informative instruction manual without the ...

The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun 135 reviews
Brother Yun, Paul Hattaway
Monarch Books, 2002
Heavenly Man is the book of the year.
The Heavenly Man is one of the best books I have read. It really made me think about how weak my faith is and what God really expects out of us. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a closer walk with God.

find your savvy
i picked this book up by chance and bought it after reading the first 10 pages because i didn't want to put it down. Mibs (short for Mississippi) is a wonderful character who turns 13 in the beginning of the story. it is an important age for anyone but especially for the Beaumonts, who find out at 13 what their "savvy" is. her brother Rocket can create electricity. her brother Fish can make ...

How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much22 reviews

Must read for any parent!
How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much
I am a big fan of Ellyn Satter's work. I have read all of her books and have gained something new from each one. If you have already read Child of Mine, you will notice a repeat chapter or two, but overall new information that supports good child feeding practices.
Never hurts to review the division of feeding technique. It can take awhile for ...

The Best Life Diet 119 reviews
Bob Greene
Simon & Schuster, 2006
BEST way to change your life
At 50 years old I stopped smoking and started on Bob Greene's, THE BEST LIFE DIET. I hadn't exercised in a very, very long time. I was figuring to gain a considerable amount of weight after quitting smoking, but by being on THE BEST LIFE DIET, not only did I not GAIN any weight, I LOST 17 pounds.
I didn't follow it exactly to the T, because I am a sweet eater and I do like to indulge once ...

The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Fourth Annual Collection (Year's Best Science Fiction)7 reviews
St. Martin's Griffin, 2007
Not Free SF Reader
You could call this an excellent example of this particular series perhaps, as the average for these stories is 3.86, and a couple I have read have gone over 4. Still, a rather good effort to put that together. You certainly won't be detecting much of a sense of humour in this one, though, in general.
As usual, the highly useful summation and introduction gives information, and tries to ...

Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way: Revised Edition137 reviews
Susan McCutcheon-Rosegg
Plume, 1996
Great Overview
Great book, essential if you are planning to have a natural childbirth. Although I am taking Bradley classes, I would feel comfortable and confident that I could have a natural childbirth after reading this book -Bradley classes are a little expensive. Some of the relaxation exercises are a little cheesey, but they get the point across.

Waking with Enemies80 reviews
Eric Jerome Dickey
Dutton Adult, 2007
Excellent Fast Paced Read
I think of any Eric Jerome Dickey book this would have to be my favorite. This a must read after "Sleeping With Enemies" and is filled with more twists and turns than you could imagine. Clear your schedule and brace yourself for a good book. This is the first time I ever found myself rooting for the bad guy. Trust me, when you read the story, you will understand why.

A spellbinding look at Zimbabwe's current crises
As a Zimbabwean who had to leave the country due to it's current troubles, it was very difficult for me to pick up this book and look for answers to some of the many questions I had about what went wrong in my homeland. However, I came away fascinated by Martin Meredith's careful piecing together of the last three or four decades of Zimbabwe's history. He has assembled a brilliant account of the ...

Tom Robbins
Bantam, 2001
THE BEST THAT ROBBINS GETS!!!
I'VE READ ALL OF ROBBINS BOOKS. THIS AND 'JITTERBUG PERFUME' ARE AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
THE ONLY COMPLAINT ANYONE COULD HAVE ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT ONE OFTEN NEEDS A DICTIONARY WHILE READING IT. THE PLOT IS FASCINATING AND HILARIOUS.....THIS MAN IS TRULY A TALENTED WRITER.
WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYBODY THAT IS NOT EASILY OFFENDED!!!

Elizabeth Lee Vliet
Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2006
Ugly cover, great information
If you're not put off by the awful cover choice, this book is full of great information, charts, health tests, etc.
I read this book in a 2 hour sitting, and took it with me to my nutritionist who specializes in PCOS and it really helped to guide my questions and what modifications I'd be making in my life.
Definitely worth reading- especially if your newly diagnosed or struggling for ...
