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 …
Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
I read Red Dragon by Thomas Harris recently. I’m sure you’ve seen the movie starring Edward Norton and Anthony Hopkins. Well usually the movie is a much less detailed description of events than the book, however in this case, I would give both the film and novel an A+.

Playing with Fire by Katie MacAlister book
“Playing with Fire” is the first book in Katie MacAlister’s Silver dragon series. Honestly I picked up this book out of curiosity. I’ve never really been into multi-racial romance novels or dragons. I like dragons but I never understood how they could be sexy. Nothing wrong with a multi-racial …

Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt

Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern book
“Love, Rosie” is a fantastic book for readers who like feel-good love stories. I love the book for its simplicity and the honesty and quirkiness of its characters. If you’re looking for steamy romance, this is definitely not the type of book for you; however, if you’re looking for …
