Fame

Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2007

Twist in the series
I love this author. I have read all of the books in the series and some that aren't in the series. The author has a very creative view of life. This book is a refreshing new twist on the series. I read a lot of books so when i haven't read a book in a while it's ...

Celebrity Detox: (The Fame Game)

Rosie O'Donnell

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Rosie gives us a peek inside her life (Screw you, Donald Trump)
Rosie puts herself out there for all of us, and I found that I could relate to many of her feelings. Reading about her sad childhood made me want to give her a hug, and I feel that the media has given her a raw deal all the way around. I was a big fan of her talk ...

A lot of help from just one book

Fame (Firstborn Series-Baxter 2, Book 1)

Karen Kingsbury

Tyndale House Publishers, 2005

Heart tugging
Karen Kingsbury has done it again. Everytime I read one book, I anticipate another episode to make me think twice and draws me closer to the love of God. My whole life started changing as I read the Redemption series. I am on my 14th book and each one makes me ...

Three Girls and Their Brother: A Novel

Theresa Rebeck

Shaye Areheart Books, 2008

Great fun!
This was such a fun book and so seemingly believable. If you ever indulge in any sort of celebrity watching, or wonder how pictures of the same "it girls" appear endlessly in magazine after magazine, you realize that there is a whole culture (sub-culture?) feeding our ...

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two B: The Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time Chosen by ...

Tor Books, 2008

Excellent compilation - all stories
The follow up to Volume Two A, which also like this anthology, contains eleven novellas published from 1929 to 1964, is a strong selection; however in fact Volume Two B is a boomer era collection containing one tale from 1928 (close enough for government and sci fi ...

Judy Moody Gets Famous! (Judy Moody)

Megan McDonald

Candlewick, 2003

Great for party favor
I recently did a make-over party and handed these out as favors. Thought this would get the kids off to a good start on their summer reading program. The kids loved them and the story is very thought provoking. Shows kindness to others.
