Grounds For Love by Maureen Mackey

Grounds For Love is a nice, good book for the soul and written by Maureen Mackey. This book is about a romantic comedy that I could see somewhere in theaters as well. Jenny Vaugh is a very highly-spirited and independent woman and she has her own desktop …

How To Seduce A Bride by Edith Layton

I borrowed from the library this novel, sometime back, and it is a nice, heartwarming story. It is about Daisy Tanner, a widower, who has been free from an abusive marriage. The then wanted to look for a husband just for peace and stability, but not for …

The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger book

I had watched the movie The Perfect Storm several years ago and, therefore, had some expectations for the book. Since the movie dealt exclusively with the adventures of the crew of the Andrea Gail swordfish boat before and during a terrible storm, I excepted the book to read …

Secret seven on the trail

I have read the book ‘Secret seven on the trail’ written by Enid Blyton and this book is quite a piece of work. It is interesting to read and the theme of the story is very good.
Susie is a rival to the seven children and she has formed her …

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly book

This book is, I think, a masterpiece in gothic romanticism. I came to the book with all the preconceptions about Frankenstein’s monster that I presume most people have. Lightening bringing the monster to life and the mad scientist screaming “It’s alive!” The original novel is nothing like this at …

The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker

I bought this book for about $8.00, and I wasn’t aware at the beginning that the author, Ernest Becker, was dying of cancer. My heart went out to him the minute I found out the truth.
This Book, The Denial of Death, won the Pulitzer prize in 1974, and …

Starting Out in the Evening by Brian Morton

I found this book in the mystery, thriller section. But its not, which still bugs me. It’s a beautiful book. It’s about family and the relationships in it. Like a strict father and a free spirit daughter. You feel like you know these characters like your best friend. But …

Pendragon By D.J. McHale

Pendragon swept me off my feet the first time I read it. It is so compelling that it grabs your attention from the first sentence. This book is equal to Harry Potter . D.J. McHale has outdone himself in every way possible, taking us to a world we only …

Fall of Cthulu: Apocalypse 2 comic

This comic is a tad on the weird side. As much as I’d love to summarize it, I have only a vague clue of what’s going on.
Lucifer tries to steal back the necronomicon in order to stop Cthulhu, but the skeleton priest dude won’t have any …

The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything

This book, titled: The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything is a very good resource book for aspiring money-makers and money-spinners and just generally enough for those of us out there who wants to strike it rich or just wanting to get grip of what business …

Children’s Book: Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney

“Llama Llama Red Pajama” is a children’s book by Anna Dewdney. It is a fairly new book, published in 2005. I do not know whether it is the annoying writing or the artwork but for some reason I did not like this book at all.
The story shows …

Mandie and the Quilt Mystery by Lois Gladys Leppard

I really have to be honest. This book title, Mandie and the Quilt Mystery by Lois Gladys Leppard is as cool as it can be. But on the other hand, it is much more suitable for growing youngsters. The story is very delightful and I love the …

Total Scales Techniques And Applications

Total Scales: Techniques And Applications was written by Mark John Sternal and claims to be able to teach beginners through professional guitar players every note, scale, and position in every key on the freeboard.

Children’s Book: Trashy Town by Andrea Zimmerman

“Trashy Town” is a children’s book written by Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha, and illustrated by Dan Yaccarino. Although it is a perfectly cute little book, I am confused about why it took three different people to create it. I would like to think I could create …

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

When it comes to great graphic novels, many are quick to cite titles like “Watchmen”, “Sandman” and “The Dark Knight Returns”. Rightfully so, they are all great titles, but there is one that doesn’t get as much credit as it deserves and that is “The Life and Times …

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins is Victorian mystery, well-written and captivating. Yes, there are some hard-to-believe coincidences in this novel a modern-day writer would not have gotten away with, as well as infallible goodness of some characters; if you can’t stomach that, don’t read the book. I …

Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche

Thus Spake Zarathustra is one of the most lyrical books of philosophy ever written. It is famous (or to some, infamous) for its assertion that “God is dead.” But of course, there is more to it than that simple statement appears to convey.
Thus Spake Zarathustra encapsulates nothing. …

She Woke Up Married by Suzanne Macpherson

She Woke Up Married by Suzanne Macpherson is something like the time when Britney Spears spent one night with her childhood friend and ended up marrying for like 24 hours only, I think. Only this time, this novel is fiction and having a bit of a difference.
The surreality of …

The Rosary Murders by William X. Kienzle

The Rosary Murders was written by William X. Kienzle, first published in 1989 by Ballantine Books (296 pages)

Management Information Systems 8th Edition by T. Lucey

When I started doing a Principles of Management course at my university in the latter part of May, I recalled seeing one or two books that might help me, which was on a shelf at my late aunt’s house. One of those books was a book called “Management Information …

Hamlet Prince of Denmark

William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Prince of Denmark may very well be the best play in western literature. It certainly is the most written about play. For much of my adult life it has been my favorite play. I’ve seen it performed live five or six times and have always enjoyed …

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah

“A Long Way Gone” is one of the saddest, most tragic books I’ve read in some time. Subtitled “Memoirs of a Boy Soldier,” the book tells the story of Ishmael Beah a young boy from Sierra Leone caught in the middle of the revolution while only twelve years of …

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Prima Official Game Guide

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Prima Official Game Guide turned out to be a disappointing guide. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because the layout and overall presentation seemed relatively sloppy. The places in which character art is placed and the text blocks, it just was not …

Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford

The cover illustration of the book, Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford is really very lavender, colorful and kind of funny.

New Indigo bookstore in Milton

The New Indigo bookstore finally arrived in Milton! It was large and bright and I couldn’t wait to start shopping. It was quick and easy to find someone to help me use their touch-screen system, and equally efficient to find what I was looking to purchase. I was thrilled …

The Coming of Abel Behenna by Bram Stoker

Normally, I like Bram Stoker’s books and stories. I’m not sure this was the case with The Coming of Abel Behenna.
I can understand what Stoker was trying to do with this story. It’s a story about love and jealousy. Abel wins the hand of the most beautiful woman in …

Genesis of Shannara: Armageddon’s Children

Genesis of Shannara: Armageddon’s Children is the unwieldy title of the first volume of Terry Brooks latest installment. I have to admit that I had lost track of his works over the years. I had originally read the Sword of Shannara over twenty years ago when I …

Lord of the Flies book

This is one of those books that most kids in school are forced to read as part of the English classes. It’s one of those books that is thought of as a classic and just because of that, everyone else is being forced to read it. And that’s how …

Julia: Her Life by James Spada

I had intended to read only a chapter or two on Julia: Her Life by James Spada because my boyfriend left it lying at his home. It is his younger sister’s novel and I was bored with nothing much to do. As he took some longer time to …

Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich

I don’t think I can read this series anymore. The last few books I read were such a disappointment. It wasn’t even the plot that killed it. It’s the lack of development for the characters. What was funny and intriguing about them at the beginning, is now annoying and …

V. by Thomas Pynchon (novel)

Published in 1963, “V.” is Thomas Pynchon’s first novel. He was in his early twenties when he wrote it, which probably sounds disheartening for many wannabe novelists who require years and maybe decades to find their voice.
“V.” is a very complex novel, which one can read in …

Dead Even by Mariah Stewart

Dead Even by Mariah Stewart. Part 3 of a series. Again, this is the best series of books I’ve read in a long time. Centers around family and the FBI family of special agents.

Adam & E-V-E by Bridget Midway

I love reading this book. I have read it twice, in fact. A fantasy story, but nevertheless, an easy read, and makes me laugh at the cuteness of the plot, and the loveable characters. The story tells about the woman character, E-V-E; in short for Emergency …

Rescuing Sprite by Mark Levin

I’m always hesitant to read books like this. I never read Marley and Me, a book that’s very similar in spirit to this one, because I ultimately know how it’s going to end. As an avid dog lover it seemed a bit masochistic to put myself through …

Mystic River

A compelling thriller story with a main story about a mysterious murder. With early indications are very minimal and subtle, the case was very complicated to uncover. Quite complicated to find the people, who have the motivation to kill Katie. Is ex-boyfriend? old enemy of his father? or people …

A Date on Cloud Nine written by Jenna McKnight is a good dreamy story that I love because it plays with good, funny fiction. Lily Marquette has a time-line on Earth and it suddenly becomes her time-up when she’s given the no-go for her time on Earth.
She begged the …

Hitts & Mrs

The latest that I have finished reading would be the book title, Hitts & Mrs, written by the very amazing Black writer, Lori Bryant-Woolridge. She has received an Emmy before for her writing and I salute her.
This novel is a romantic one at that, but not really laced …

Dracula by Bram Stoker book

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a classic horror novel. However, you will find the manner in which the novel was put together very interesting: it is a series of diary entries, newspaper clippings and letters. This type of novel is called an ‘epistolary novel’. Dracula is one of the primary …

Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide To Natural Health For Dogs and Cats book

Jake Drake Know-It-All novel
