Jeff Kinney - Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw
I can't say enough about the Whimpy Kid series. My eleven year old son lloves these books and he had them all. They are priced about right. They are chapter books so they keed my son reading and they are too funny. I have read them also and it's just so really funny. They are written well and relate to the kids so well.

You can find these books at any good book store and well worth the read and the money. We have all...

Brick Mallery Private Investigator
Billed as the "twisted lost episodes" these full-cast dramas parody every cliche of the hard boiled detective genera. There's the seedy office, wisecracking secretary, bad coffee, low-life snitches, and the squalid hangout. There are always the endless similes and metaphors. The introduction cautions the listener to get ready for "the more bizarre crimes that involve clones, aliens, mind control, identical half-twin brothers and sisters, and of course murder." The tales are equally off-the-wall with plenty of sound effects and original music to move them along. The cast strikes the right serio-comic...

Entertainment Coupon Book
This is a great book. It only cost 35 dollars and I have saved over 200 dollars already and only have had the book since September. I am buying my dad one for the holidays and would recommend this coupon book to anyone!!!!
Llama, Llama Red Pajama
After reading this my daughter walks around and says words that rhyme and tells me that "they sound the same so they rhyme!" because that's what I told her while reading the book. It's very cute and apparently has helped my child learn what rhyming means.
Guilty Pleasures
Anita Blake, known as "The Executioner" in the vampire world, she works for Animators Inc raising zombies for different clients for different reasons.
Anita's best friend Catherine has a bachorlette party at a place called Guilty Pleasures. It's a local club run by vampires, owner Jean-Claude, a dreamy, romantic, sexy vamp that only needs to speak to make you want to melt.
Just so you have an understanding, in the world that Anita Blake lives in, vampires are known and roam with humans, along with werewolves and many other "creatures". Vampires have some rights and are slowly growing more power...
review »Sally Fallon, Mary G. Enig, Pat Connolly - Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook That Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and
Great book for the health conscious cook who is willing to delve into a little controversy over good and bad for you fats! Are saturated fats really bad for you? This authur says "no" and quite the contrary they are good for you. Overall, some great recipes whether you believe in the nutritional beliefs of the Price Foundation or not and some great things to ponder and look further into.
Baby Wise
This book has been a great guide for my 3 children and I recommend it to any new parent I come across, but I do like to caution parents to not take things too literally. Do not make the mistake of thinking this book is about hyperscheduling. It is not. This book does not support hyperscheduling, but I think some people think this book is about that. I think the best things I took away from this book is that:
1. Demand feeding is tiring and not best for you or baby! Hyperscheduling is also wrong, but a flexible schedule or a "parent-directed schedule" is best.
2. A cycle of: Eat,...

Gourmet Magazine
I can't say enough good things about Conde Nast and Gourmet magazine. I started reading Gourmet in the late 70's. It taught me how to cook, how to entertain, the art of fine wine and travel. It changed my life completely. Thank you Gourmet. The rating should have been 10 stars but that wasn't an option. The back issues are great. You can still order them.
Laurell K. Hamilton - Bloody Bones
Anita Blake, necromancer, zombie raiser and vampire "executioner". In book 5, Anita is dating two "monsters" as she would call them. Boy her views have changed, and you will see more of this throughout the book! In many ways.
Anita is asked to go to the mountains near Bransom, to try and raise a huge unmarked grave site where a millionaire wants to build a resort. The land is in dispute between two families, the Kelly's and the Bouvier's because a family plot is said to be buried there, but they're not sure. They're asking Anita to raise the dead and ask who they are so they can resolve who's...
review »Luann McLane - Redneck Cinderella
Redneck Cinderella by LuAnn McLane is a story about a young woman and her father learning how to fit in after selling their farm and suddenly becoming well-off.
Jolie Russell and her Father are becoming the talk of the town - and not in a good way. They sold their farm at the instance of Cody Dean a wealthy land developer who convinced them that it would be good for them and that they could still live on a portion of their land. What they didn't know at the time was that they would have to fit in with the high-society folk, something they are quite unprepared to do.
Jolie lost her mother when...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
I refused to jump on the band wagon forever....I finally did it. I loved the books! I couldn't put them down!
Fearless Fourteen
I loved this book. I keep coming back to this series of books because the main character is someone who gets into trouble while solving crimes and catching bad guys. It also has a lot of humor and several romantic threads---it keeps you guessing who will Stephnie marry? What trouble will she get into next? Her sidekick Lulu---is just plain fun. I also love that her grandmother who is in her 80's dresses in mini skirts and trolls funerals for men to date. Besides that the car she drives keeps changing because it is blown up, stolen, trashed by bad guys---you name it one of her cars has met its...

TIme Out NY
I'm new to New York City and I am loving my subscription to Time Out NY. The magazine includes so much information of fun (and cheap) things to do, see, and hear in New York City you can never be bored. I think my only gripe is that it's sometimes information overload! This is a great place to look for reviews of new plans, restaurants, and bars. I also have been enjoying their profiles on different neighborhoods. This was my bible this summer as I had free time during the day and I wanted to take advantage of all the city had to offer. Time Out NY listed so many great festivals and...

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Everybody loves Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! I love taking my kids to the library. My little boy one day stumbled across a great treasure, this book. After checking it out, re-checking it and asking for it every day I knew this would have to be a house hold book. Being cheap I purchased the paper copy, but reading that multiple times a day led to the upgrade of the hardcover book. It was a devastating day when we couldn't find the book a year later! Now that he was learning to read on his own I purchased the large print book with additional verses. My daughter was born a few years later. She is...
