The Wong Bed by Jennifer LaBrecque

The Wrong Bed is written by Jennifer LaBrecque, and this story has set off wrong all over with me, just by reading the first story it has to offer.

The Were-wolf by Clemence Housman

I’ve always been fascinated with mythical creatures like vampires or were-wolves. But, even though I can find countless tales involving vampires, it’s surprising how few stories there are that deal with werewolves; at least good stories.
That’s why I was glad when I came across Clemence Housman’s story The Were-wolf. …

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

This story is great for kids, although a couple of the kids found it a bit difficult to get through. The story features Despereaux, a small, big eared mouse who falls in love with a human princess. He must save her from the evil plots of a rat.

Bad Behaviour by Sheila O’Flanagan

Bad Behaviour by Sheila O’Flanagan is a story about heartache, love lost and betrayal of a friend. It is not really your typical story, because I wish that not all best-friends would steal someone away from whom they love. But that’s what happens in this novel; Bad Behaviour. …

Jamie’s Ministry of Food: Anyone Can Learn to Cook in 24 Hours by Jamie Oliver

Come to think of it, I rarely take the opportunity to review cook books which I’ve read countless times. I don’t know why. Maybe because I’m so cooped up and concentrating on fictional and non-fiction type of self-help books and novels that I tend to ‘neglect’ cook books.
But …

Harry potter and the deathly hallows

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson book

Most of the books that you have to read in high school are just stupid. They say that it will heighten your intellect and help you learn all about the important things in life, but only a few have really meant anything to me. One of them was “Speak”. …

Philosophy 101 by Socrates by Peter

I just read this book, published 2002 by Ignatius Press of San Francisco on the way home from my annual vacation, during a 5-hour plane ride. I couldn’t put it down, and since it’s only 148 pages in all, I was able to read it twice. It …

The Forever War - A Book by Joe Haldeman

I read the wonderful book “The Forever War” by the American fiction writer Joe Haldeman all in one breath. A great read, often compared to “Catch 22″ by Joseph Heller , but far more subtle and readable.
The main protagonist Mandela also has serious problems with …

The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid’s Tale is Margaret Atwood’s most well-known novel most likely because it delivers the harshest lesson. Like George Orwell’s 1984, Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and many others, this book warns of a possible dystopia that could be our future civilization if we give …

The Book Of Lost Things By John Connolly

One of the greatest pleasures of the fantasy reader, especially one who, like me, reads a lot, is to discover something new and original that turns the the classic stories upside down. This is the real reason why I like Simon R. Green and “Shadows Fall”. Because of it …

Book-Historiography: Ancient, Medieval, & Modern

Ernst Breisach’s Historiography: Ancient, Medieval, & Modern, 481 pp., ISBN 0-226-07278-9, is no lightweight history book. Instead, it is a book about the writing of history: historiography. Written for graduate level students, Breisach presents a comprehensive coverage of western history that assumes some knowledge beforehand, but it could, with …

This is one of my favorite books. I’m a big book junkie and i read mostly sci-fi with a hint of romance and this is definitely one of the best ones i’ve read. It’s the first of a trilogy (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass). It …

If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period book

If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period by Gennifer Choldenko is actually a great book for middle school aged kids. I found the story complex enough to enjoy myself, while simple enough that younger readers can understand the themes. (Sort of a something for everyone kind of situation). If …

The Runaway Jury by John Grisham

This book (which has been made into a movie), is like most of Grisham’s novels in that once started, it is hard to put down. Good pacing and suspense keeps you wanting to read just one more page, until you realize that it is 4 in the morning …

Dorland’s Pocket Medical Dictionary

cover. …

The Other Boleyn Girl book by Philippa Gregory

The life and the history of Tudors thrills a lot of people and countless movies, books, conspiracy theories and TV shows about them clearly state that. I’ve never particularly been a history nerd, but I noticed that books based on a real story, especially, when it’s something that happened …

The Pariah by Collin Wilcox

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. …

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

Turn Coat, a Harry Dresden book by Jim Butcher
