An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn't
Judy Jones, William Wilson

Ballantine Books, 2006

Afraid I Lost It
I recently had to move and I lost a couple boxes of books. The first book I thought of was An Incomplete Education. Finding it wasn't lost made my day all by itself.
  
  











  



  
The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle

Harvard Perspectives Press (kindleusers.blogspot.com), 2007

Windwalker is a life-saver
Being somewhat over the age of consent, I have found this publication to be extremely helpful. It is a work in progress. A particularly attractive feature is that you can receive updates as they become available. Don't expect that from your Funk and Wagnalls. The ...
  
  











  



  
Mine Till Midnight (The Hathaways, Book 1)
Lisa Kleypas

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

Great Read!
I'm not sure where all the negativity came from but I personally thought the book was awesome. Another well written much anticipated book by one of my favorite authors...well done M. Kleypas, well done :0)
  
  











  



  
Killer Secrets (Tempting SEALs)
Lora Leigh

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008

More SEALs! Yummy
This book was by far the hardest to read for me. The plot was intense, and it was hard to keep up with all of the characters, since there were so many. But Ian and Kira were great, and their chemistry was off the charts! Defintely a series worth reading!
  
  











  



  
Decadent
Shayla Black

Berkley Trade, 2007

A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!
This book is a must read. I would suggest reading Wicked Ties first and then Decadent. I just wish real life could be so decadent although anyone lucky enough to learn about sex from Deke & Luc would be spoiled for life. I don't think you could do any better than those ...
  
  











  



  
The Cabinet of Curiosities (Pendergast, Book 3

Grand Central Publishing, 2003

Best Pendergast Book
I have read all of the Pendergast novels and other various Preston/Child works and find myself always thinking of this one as my favorite. Although I like the "Diogenes Trilogy" (Brimstone, Dance of Death and Book of the Dead), this one seemed to really work my ...

It Was 20 Years Ago Today Uncle John Taught the Band to Play!

Rescue Me
Cherry Adair, Cindy Gerard, ...

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008

No rescue needed from this anthology!
I loved this collection! The only downside I found was it's too short. 1) Tropical Heat by Cherry Adair ***** - This was the first story I've read from Ms. Adair, but based on it I'll be looking for more of her stories. I was left with the impression that this was ...

Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
Lora Leigh

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

What's not to love about a SEAL?
I'll admit, there's something about those SEALs that just make me hot! Every one I've ever read about is the ultimate Alpha, and Clint is no exception. And Morganna is the type of heroine that I love. Strong, capable, and willing to do whatever it takes. I'd ...
