Even as a child, you would never catch me reading so-called “kiddie comics”. My choice of reading fare ran mainly toward superhero adventures, like the X-Men, Superman, and Batman. Yes, I was strange for a little girl.
But a couple of months ago, while visiting my local comics shop, I …

“Dead to the World” is the fourth book in the Sookie Stackhouse novel series written by the popular author Charlaine Harris. I also think that it was even better than the first three novels, and even more interesting than all of them put together. This was mainly because of …

“Curious George Goes Camping” is another pointless entry in the Curious George series of books, written by Margret and H.A. Rey, and illustrated by Vipah Interactive, whatever that is, ‘in the style of H.A. Rey.” From that I assume that this book is illustrated by graphic artists who …

Wife No. 19 or The Story of A Life in Bondage by Ann Eliza Young was written in 1876 and takes you through one woman’s journey to escape Polygamy. I had watched a made for T.V. movie by the name of Wife No. 19 where the 19th wife is …

“The Sound of Water: Haiku by Basho, Buson, Issa, and Other Poets - Shambhala Centaur Editions” by Sam Hamill is a lovely poetry book that is decorated with beautiful haiku that capture simple moments in nature and enrich those moments with vivid details and expressions. If you have relatively …

One of my favorite authors, New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen (Harvest, Bloodstream, The Surgeon, The Sinner, among others) gives us another suspense-filled, action-packed thriller that keeps us riveted from the first page to the last. The Mephisto Club is a story about a serial killer who tortures …

I have read the book —˜The clue in the jewel box’ written by Carolyn Keene. This book is one among the Nancy Drew series. This book is , more or less, interesting to read. The story line is good and the content is interesting. This book is an ideal …

The book “Breaking Hearts: The Two Sides of Unrequited Love” by Roy F. Baumeister and Sara R. Wotman helped me. It did not provide me with absolute relief from the pain that I have felt off and on over the past five years, but it has served to help …

I’m always hesitant to read books like this. I never read Marley and Me, a book that’s very similar in spirit to this one, because I ultimately know how it’s going to end. As an avid dog lover it seemed a bit masochistic to put myself through …

I like the story The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I think it’s an alright story, compared to some others. That’s because this book has a unique plot and voice, and the title tend to be misleading. This is not a story about bees …

I can certainly say Chew did not sound that appetizing when I first heard about it but my mind set was different after I read the first volume, Taster’s Choice. Layman and Guillory have a good thing going here and Taster’s Choice is just a small piece on how …

I read the book The Wrinkle Cleanse by Cherie Calbom, and thought it was interesting, engaging and a very informative book about aging and beauty in general. While the concept of the book is not at all original, I think this is one of the few books which really …

This book, Trouble in High Heels by Christina Dodd that I’ve read pretty recently gets really on my nerves and is indeed pretty boring. It has a nice illustration cover; like a lady’s pair of legs shown halfway with a nice pair of heels and the book really looks …

This is the fourth book in John Vaurhos’ ‘Killer Poker’ series, and while this one picks up where the others left off, it also contains enough information from the previous books to allow an average player to benefit from it without having read the previous books.
John is a natural …

WOW!! This book, Love in Idleness by Charlotte Mendelson is saucy and kind of filled with controversial connotations. I would think for instance, schools having literature wouldn’t allow such a book filled with lots of desires and dreams from the girl called Anna Raine.
She lives with her aunt …

My first thought on reading this book was quite simply “odd”! Probably because it didn’t turn out to be what I was expecting.
