A handy reference for the small steps we can take to make a difference. Raised in a family where waste is normal, this is a friendly read that affected even the most stubborn in my family. Highly recommended.

In this year of history making politics preceded by years of cover up and efforts to keep the truth away from the public, Laton McCartney's The Teapot Dome Scandal reminds us that it has all happened before. But back then, there was a lot more humor. This was an enjoyable read and I ordered several copies for family members whom I knew would enjoy this book because they lived through it. But this is definitely a multi generational book.

I received this book as a gift and would read sections of it aloud, often shouting. My husband finally took it away from me and would only allow me to read it for short periods of time as I would immediately start yelling and quoting from the book.

It's shocking! It's horrible! If you are prone to throw things, don't read it with breakables nearby, but definitely buy it.

As a loyal Hillerman reader, I was excited to pick up a copy of the Shape Shifter, but a bit disappointed that it didn't have its usual pull. Shape Shifter came across more as an attempt to wrap up loose ends. For long-time Hillerman fans, read the book, but for those new to his series, read some of his other books first so you won't be disappointed.

My husband calls these vampire bodice rippers. I love them for their ability to whisk me away from the present into the world of the supernatural. Anita Blake, vampire executioner, member of not one, but two triumvirates, and girlfriend to one hot Master of the City - she's a woman making it in a man's world and she's right in the middle of all the power, sex, mystery, sex, violence, intrigue, sex, politics, and did I mention the sex? Hamilton brings us another great volume in the Blake series that I just couldn't put down. If you enjoy her books or are looking for an escape, order your copy today.
