Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
J. K. Rowling
Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007
jennya
This was a great ending to a great series. I loved all 7 books in the series and this was an exciting ending to an epic story.
There were tears but also great triumphs that make it worth reading over and over again.

The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate
David Freddoso
Regnery Publishing, 2008
A Scary Truth
Isn't it ironic that all of the posters that gave this book 1 star have clearly not read it? It doesn't surprise me because they obviously have not done their research on the candidate that they are supporting. I truly believe that if the American public had the ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
A MUST read
I did not want to read this young adult book about vampires let alone LOVE it! I read all 4 books in the series within a matter of a week; I was addicted.
When it comes down to it, this is a love story... star crossed lovers I guess you could say. The vampire ...

Turbulent Sea (Drake Sisters, Book 6)
Christine Feehan
Jove, 2008
Another great one!!
I felt the need to write this review because, as much as I love CF, I was a little nervous about this book. I always look foward for months for her new releases but the last two drake books have disappointed me, especially Safe Harbor. Considering how much chemistry ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller
Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Wow, a thrill ride from todays headlines
I have no idea how Brad Thor escaped my book buying this long but it's a mistake I am remedying right now. Don't make the same mistake. I don't usually take time to write a review let alone one with 5 stars but the Last Patriot is a fantastic thrill ride of a novel ...

Another Great Book From David Sedaris
David's usual personal essay humor is alive and well in this book which is extremely enjoyable to read.
It's light and humorous. Turn off the TV and enjoy this great book!

Moscow Rules
Daniel Silva
Putnam Adult, 2008
Awesome Sequel!!
I just finished this book, after flying to Dallas. It was a close call, as I was landing when I was on the last page... I really didn't want to put the book down, since Daniel Silva, in his usual fashion, makes this book (once again) a real page turner! The ...

The Host: A Novel
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Dystopian done right
I highly recommend this amazing, fast paced psychological sci-fi thriller from the very popular author of the Twilight series. This is true science-fiction, on par with Bradbury or Asimov. Meyer uses the concept of an alien and human forced to co-exist in the same body ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Great ending to a fun series!
I loved this book. It was thoroughly entertaining and I had a difficult time putting it down. I appreciate S.M. for not giving into the traditional ending. Breaking Dawn's plot was very unexpected. Of course it's unrealistic! It's a vampire book.

Off Season
Anne Rivers Siddons
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
One of her best novels!
I became a fan of Ms. Siddons many, many years ago when I first read "Peachtree Road." After that I read every book she had published up to then (some time in the 80s) and proceeded to obtain all First Editions of her earlier books and bought every single one of her ...

The Monster of Florence
Douglas Preston
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Outstanding cultural setting for a fascinating Italian serial murder case.
If you're interested in detective novels, foreign intrigue and the differences between American and Italian approaches to highly publicized serial murder investigations, this book is a must-buy! Having been stationed in Italy for over 5 years, I was especially drawn ...

Peek-A Who?
Nina Laden
Chronicle Books, 2000
Eek-a!
My 13 month old loves this book. It actually inspired her fifth word! We were reading the book and as I was about to say "Peek-A... Moo", I heard this tiny "eek-a" from my daughter. I turned the page for Peek-a-Boo, and before I could say anything, she did it again ...

The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals
Missy Chase Lapine
Running Press, 2007
I'm a new sneaky mum (chef)
This book is terrific. My two children refuse to eat vegetables and one refuses to eat fruit. I've used many of the recipes to hide nutritious food and the kids are loving it, and have no idea what they are really eating! Like many parents, I was sick of the food ...
