I got this book to read when I was looking for a book to read in the libary. I wanted something new from what I normally read, and the cover was also very exciting. I only got the first book to see if I liked the story line and …
Goosebumps; Why I’m Afraid of Bees by R. L. Stine
this book is another one of R. L. Stine’s great works. It is also one that has a happy ending rather than one that is twisted and unexpected. I remember reading this book with my grandmother, and we enjoyed it together. The plot was so interesting and great that …
Phantoms by Dean Koontz
I hate the fact that there is a Phantoms movie out there. Honestly, it irritates me to the very bone when Hollywood goes and destroys something as ingenious and original as Phantoms the BOOK is with their poorly revised scripts, lackluster actors and just incredibly cheesy portrayal of what should …
Book : Social Psychology by Baron
I have recently read Social Psychology by Baron as a course material in my psychology syllabus. Ever since I have read the psychology by Baron, I have become a fan of him. However, this book is far much better than any book of Baron.

The Oddisey, by Homer
The Oddisey is a book which authorship has been attributed to the Greek writer Homer. It’s probably one of the most widely known texts of classic Greek literature, and a must read in my opinion.

The Crown by Kiera Cass, 2016 Book (The Selection #5)
So, we come to the end of this five book, unnecessarily drawn-out series. After four books, none of which I enjoyed, we come to the final (hopefully, considering Kiera Cass enjoys extending her book series) installment of ‘The Selection’ series. The first three books focused on America Singer and …
Star Trek Movie Tie-In book
“Star Trek Movie Tie-In” by Alan Dean Foster is the one and only novelization based off of the 2009 “Star Trek” movie.

Grammar Guide - Woe Is I!
I’m an English major and part-time Grammar Nazi, but I can’t possibly know everything about grammar. The English language is, to be blunt, terrifyingly messed up. More than half of our words come from Latin, but the rest are a hodgepodge assortment of bits and phrases from the rest …

The BBC Micro ROM Book
The full, and arguably rather excessively long, title of this book is (take a deep breath now) “The BBC Micro ROM Book: Sideways ROMs and RAMs”, which if somewhat ponderous does at least give a pretty good idea of what Bruce Smith’s book, published in 1985 by Collins, is …

Elizabeth Berg’s Open House
