Dungeons and Dragons Essentials: Heroes of the Fallen Lands, book
Much like “Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms”, “Heroes of the Fallen Lands” acts as a player’s handbook for the Essentials line. It is, in many ways, a companion piece. The two share a lot of similarities, though you could argue that it has too many similarities.
You see, just …

Anyone but You by Jennifer Crusie
This book is a bit on the short side, to be honest. Like many of Jennifer Crusie’s books, it’s fast, with clever dialogue and funny characters. It also features a cute animal. In this one, the cute animal is Fred, who actually dominates a lot of what happens in …
She Woke Up Married by Suzanne Macpherson

Unlike “Generation Ecstacy,” Smith’s autobiography truly gives one a feel for the subculture that gets caught up in the drug Ecstacy.

It’s hard to not like Smith. She …
