Tori Spelling’s Stori Telling

Eat This, Not That book

I think that “Eat This, Not That!” is a reflection of the miserable state of the American diet. I heard this book discussed on a talk radio show and thought that it seemed like an interesting read.

The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchett with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen

Irresistible Forces by Brenda Jackson book

All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve book

Anita Shreve’s bestseller All He Ever Wanted caught my attraction mainly due to its catchy simple title. But after I started reading I understood that this book is not as simple as its title. The story is all about depicting complex human emotions especially when it comes to love. …

The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold

Like most people, I already know the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. So, when I finally got a few minutes to actually sit down to read the book, I have to say I found myself bored with it.

Louder Than Words by Jenny McCarthy

Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney book

An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by P.D. James

I’m not usually big fan of P.D. James novels primarily, I suspect because I don’t particularly care for her primary character, Adam Dagliesh. I’m not sure why, but he is uninteresting to me. He is too aloof and without enough emotions and quirks to gain and certainly not maintain …

Star Wars The Clone Wars: The New Padawan by Eric Stevens
