I started reading this book by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, but I’m having a little trouble getting into it.  I’m putting it on the hold shelf for now.  It’s funny, but I’m just not in the mood right now…

I read this book by Drew Brees and Chris Fabry while on the beach at Fire Island.  I’m a big fan of Brees and a new fan of football, but I was skeptical when I saw it on Amazon as a new book.  Sometimes books like this can be kinda cheesy and lacking in substance.  [...]

Today’s book was written by librarian Vicki Myron of Spencer, Iowa.  This book was a memorial to a small town library cat named Dewey Readmore Books.  The story begins on one of the coldest days during the winter.  The librarians arrive at the library to find a small kitten squished inside the book drop.  Frost-bitten [...]

Today’s book is the newest from Nora Roberts.  This book was a great mystery with the usual Roberts’-style romance sprinkled in.  Entertaining, interesting characters, and an interesting subject matter (dog training), this book was a solid read.  I find that Roberts is always a guaranteed good read–at least her newer books are. The only issue [...]

Today’s book was written by Veterinarian Bruce Fogel.  I’m reading this book off and on, as I’m always interested to learn more about my cat–especially how she communicates.

I just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the eighth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  Wow!  This book had the best ending of the books I’ve read in the series.  Hopefully I’m not spoiling anything by saying this, but this book (I felt) was a lot more violent and graphic [...]

Just finished reading this book by Janet Evanovich.  This is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum series.  In true Plum style, this book was funny and light.  If you are looking for a fun summer read, this is a good book to check out.

Just finished reading this book by Charlaine Harris.  This is the most recent addition to the Sookie Stackhouse series.  I have to admit, I almost gave up on this series after I read the previous book, Dead and Gone.  It was so gratuitously violent that I almost didn’t think it brought any value to the [...]

I’m reading this book, written by Martha Stewart, on-and-off.  Stewart fascinates me and her take on business management I find to be very interesting.  This book it truly a great sneak peak into Stewart’s brain.  She’s an incredibly savvy business woman and she shares her unabridged advice, which I’m sure at times could be construed [...]

I’m reading this book on-and-off.  Bobbi Brown runs my favorite cosmetic company and I really enjoy her take on beauty, in general.  To me, she seems to be one of those people that you just want to be like–she seems very comfortable in her own skin and her philosophy seems to be work with what [...]
