Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

Thomas Ligotti -The Nightmare Factory

Nietzsche’s “On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense”

Fast Women by Jennifer Crusie
I don’t really understand the title of this book, just because the characters, while hard working, never really seem to move that fast. I enjoyed this book. While I have found dialogue in other books by Jennifer Crusie to be more enjoyable (read: funnier), the characters are fun and …

Modern First Editions book

Stephenie Meyer - The host book
I must say, this is way different than Twilight and in my opinion, a lot better. It targets a more mature reading audience and manages to keep your attention throughout the pages. You can’t really decide whose side you are on until the very end.
It deals with a little …

Edible Dallas and Fort Worth The Cookbook by Terri Taylor Book
