As a teenager we tend to make different things. Teenagers are fun of experimenting because they do have a high level of curiosity to know things around them. Aside from schooling I spend my time reading and collecting books. Though I read fiction books I’m more into non-fiction or those …

Some times we fed up with the doubts asked by our children. And many times we skip and try to deviate the topic if we donot know the exact answer for the question placed before us by our young and curious children. Now you don’t have to …

“If I Had A Robot” is a children’s book by Dan Yaccarino. It was published in 1996. This is one of Mr. Yaccarino’s earlier efforts. We have many of his stories and I do think his more recent books show an improvement over the years.
Pros: …

I found this book in the mystery, thriller section. But its not, which still bugs me. It’s a beautiful book. It’s about family and the relationships in it. Like a strict father and a free spirit daughter. You feel like you know these characters like your best friend. But …

Books on health and well-being are big sellers these days, and Dr. Oz, the doctor made famous by Oprah Winfrey, has joined the trend by authoring, along with his co-author Michael F. Roizen, a series of “YOU” books. I have read both “YOU Staying Young,” and YOU Being Beautiful,” …

I’d already read Fangirl by the same author, so I thought I may as well try out another one of Rainbow Rowell’s novels. I liked the fact that this is one single novel, and not a trilogy I’d have to struggle through. The blurb wasn’t too exciting, but I …

In Deer Hunting With Jesus, Joe Bageant paints a picture of working-class America in a way that I have never seen before. He is both an insider and an outsider in one breath. He has the “outside” world experience and formal education that help to give him a frame …

I am a Nicholas Sparks fan, but I think “The Last Song” left a lot to be desired. Most of Sparks’ books put me under a spell that makes me feel as if I am part of every word written. However, this one left me in the …

“The I Love Lucy Guide to Life” is not one of my favorite books on the series. The reason is it really does not accomplish what it claims to do. “I Love Lucy” was a comedy, first and foremost. The lines were crafted to be humorous. I do not …

This is an interesting but disturbing book containing three pamphlets written by Ida B. Wells. Wells wrote these pamphlets between 1892 and 1900 to publicize the use of lynching by whites against blacks during the last decade of the nineteenth century. In her work Wells describes …

Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold’em is probably the worst book about Texas hold’em I have ever read. I was suckered into buying the book as the “most comprehensive book ever written on hold’em,” but was disappointed to find out how poor Warren was at explaining the game.
Ken Warren …

I recently discovered Paul E. Erdman’s books. I fell in love with them and read six of them within a few days. For those of you who don’t know his work, Erdman rights “financial thrillers.” I didn’t even know there were such things. I’ve never been very interested in …

Twilight is captivating yet disenchanting at the same time.
It is only captivating because it consists for a love story between a vampire and a mortal being. Growing up as a Korean-American, I can relate to it: The hardship of dating outside the common expectation.
In a romantic way, it …

While reading this compelling murder/mystery by Lisa Jackson, I was completely spellbound and could hardly put it down! The question of what could possibly come next was ever present in my mind, and I was kept on my toes throughout the whole book. The characters were …

Fashion Victim by Sam Baker is a good book on fashion backdrop, what goes on behind the scenes perhaps in reality and many more juicy details.
However, this fiction story is uncanny and has a voice of mystery and bit of thriller to it. You get fashion-packed laced with murder …

I love to read and so my kindle gets a lot of use. Mysteries are one of my favorite types of books and I had heard good things about this e-book. I saw it online and decided to order it since most of what I heard and read were …

This book, a classic Poirot, is a very complicated novel. One thing I really enjoyed about it is the way that, in the end, everything wrapped up so very neatly. I know that that is not how it is in real life, but it was very satisfying to be …

This book, Wicked Whispers by Jessica Callan is very awesome and full of celebrity gossips and to name a few would be Elton John and Jordan. Interested still..? Then you should really read it. There are lots of juicy details like what celebs are really like and …

One of DC Comics’ most underrated series of the 1980’s was the shortlived (50 issue) series VIGILANTE, which dealt with Adrian Chase, DC’s resident Punisher rip-off. Well, rip-off in the sense that he was a similar character, but the quality of the stories was SIGNIFICANTLY better than the lame …

By this time, Charles Dickens’ tale of poor orphaned and outcast Oliver Twist is pretty well known. It has been adapted time and time again, in film, in musicals and even in a Disney film.
However, with many of the changes that these have placed on Dickens’ original story, …

This is a wayward romance story, I would say. My mom and my sister love reading this sort of historical romance books, and we will always exchange with one another to read. The book Not Quite a Lady, which costs about $6.99 was borrowed to me by …

The later 19th-early 20th century American novelist William Dean Howells was broadly popular in his longago day. Howells produced more than 100 volumes of fiction, travel writing, poetry, and literary journalism; but as the author sadly recognized toward the end of his long career, his star was already in …

Fans of Haruki Murakami’s brand of literary excellence may be disappointed in Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Although there is much to recommend the story at the onset, lack of interesting development as well as countless pages devoted to the “technical” details of this imaginary world …

I think every woman should read this book, Dear Fatty by Dawn French without a doubt. This book is super awesome, a very great autobiography by Dawn whom has made so many of us laugh. If you don’t know who she is, well she is a celebrity worth …

I have been in the health care profession for years now, and I love my profession so much. It is very rewarding in so many ways. Hadn’t I been to nursing school years before, I would never have picked up a single medical book my whole life. That’s true, …

The title of this book, which is published by the team from the BBC Radio 4 panel game “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue”, is very obviously a take off of the Oxford English Dictionary, with the first word replaced by the Middlesex town which many of the show’s …

Bestselling authors are often suspect in my mind. I tend to be very cynical about the taste (or lack of) of the average American reader. So I approached Bruce Wilkinson’s book “Secrets of the Vine” with the heart of a skeptic. I am happy to say, that at least …

I received this book as a bonus with my copy of the special edition DVD of At World’s End (the highly anticipated epic conclusion to the Pirates film series, starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and others). The book is really a great little gem for the true …

Being a Stephenie Meyer fan, I am up in the air about this book, The Host. I felt that it was a bit too wordy, I felt that I was stuck reading pointless things at times, things that I felt were page fillers. As much as I love detail, …

I am reviewing the novel, To the Lighthouse, written by Virginia Woolf. This novel develops the modern characteristic style of writing in that throughout the whole novel, readers are subject to streams of consciousness from the various characters. In this book, readers are in the minds of …
