Books Read in 2010

21 hours ago ago from Happy Mamas

Here's a list of books that I've read so far this year and a mini-review of them. Lest you think I'm reading on a third grade level, we preview most of the books that our six year- old reads and I read aloud to the kids quite a bit, so I'm including those books. I'm linking to the books on Amazon, but most of these books can be found at your local library. The Quotidian Mysteries: Laundry, Liturgy, and Women's Work by Kathleen ...

In the Cathedral town of Lafferton, England it’s about a year after the events of the first book in this series, The Various Haunts of Men . Several characters are still dealing with the fallout of that book’s rather shocking ending including DCI Simon Serailler who is on a sketching holiday in Venice. He’s called home because his younger sister Martha, who is mentally and physically handicapped, has been taken to hospital with pneumonia and ...

Those Super Sexed Vampire Books

1 day ago ago from hiphopsideproject

I finished reading book 9 of the Sookie Stackhouse books last night (true blood), seems I'd gotten quite obsessed with finishing them seeing as I only started book 1 over Christmas (I picked up the super cheap 8 book box set on Amazon ). They were so much fun! No great work of literature, certainly not akin to Anne Rice or any other vampire classics, but the characters are enjoyable, the stories a little silly, and the books totally easy to ...

I'm talking about Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Currently there are eleven books in the series, the latest, Knife of Dream s, came out last October. The first book, Eye of the World , started out really well and I felt like I'd discovered a ...

Jackie Collins: Yes I Can! (VIDEO)

16 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

The day I was thrown out of school, at the tender age of fifteen, was a happy day indeed! Having played truant for almost all of the previous year (ducking into the subway station, changing out of my school uniform, and spending the day at the movies) I was thrilled at the thought of legitimate freedom. The only subject that had interested me at school was writing. I used to love making up fun fantasy stories, and charging my schoolmates ...
