I read almost any kind of book. If it looks good, I will read it. My favorite category is romance/chick lit books. Those are the ones that I tend to gravatate towards. Check out my shelf you should see a nice variety of books.

  • The Biology of Belief
    • Rated 4 stars

    The book started off slow do to Lipton talking about cell biology. He is laying the groundwork for how his thinking developed. But once you get pass that it becomes very interesting and thought provoking read about how biology is influenced by what we believe.

    This is not a tell all book. It just a man telling his stories. I felt like I was listening to a good friend tell his stories at dinner. You don't getting more information about his relationship with Melissa Gilbert, the sex tape scandal or his drug addiction. Just a man telling his stories.

  • Dissonance
    • Rated 4 stars

    This is the second book that I read by David Detzer regarding the early months of the civil War and It was as good as the first, Allegiance. As he was writing about Baltimore and the tension between secessionist and the Northern troops you felt it. I got a good understanding as to what was happening with Lincoln and his government as they were saving Washington DC and trying to prevent Virginia and Maryland from seceding. If you are interested in learning more about the early days of the Civil War, this is the book for you.

  • Allegiance
    • Rated 5 stars

    This was a great well written non-fiction book. Most non-fiction books read dry, interesting but all the historical facts bog the reading down. David Detzer was able to keep the historical facts in but make this book into a turn pager wondering what was going to happen next when I was away form the book. Even though I knew what was going to happen I still wanted to read ahead to see actually how it happened. I don't think I ever wanted to do that with a non-fiction book. David Detzer brought us into America on the brink of civil war, both sides trying to do what they think is right and the consequences of these decisions or non decisions depending on your point of view. I found it interesting all the events leading up to the Battle of Ft. Sumter and my heart went out to Major Robert Anderson as he did his best to keep Ft. Sumter from being the beginning point of the Civil War without any clear guidance form Washington. I have to say best non-fiction book I ever read.

    I felt that this was the best out of the Chicago Fire trilogy.

  • The Plantagenet Prelude
    • Rated 3 stars

    I don't feel that this was one of jean plaidy's best. I enjoyed the Courts of Love, this whole books was about Eleonore, I though it was much better. I felt that she glossed over Henry II and Thomas Beckett relationship and the events leading up to Beckett's murder in this book. Will see if Book 2 in the series is better.

  • Compromised Security (Harlequin Intrigue Series)
    • Rated 2 stars

    This book was OK. I figured out who the Judge was before I finished the book. It took a lot of the suspense out. I can't decide between a two or a three so I think it will be 2.5 stars.

  • The Law of Attraction in Action: A Down-to-Earth Guide to Transforming Your Life (No Matter Where You're StartingFrom)
    • Rated 4 stars

    This book made the LOA clear and simple. It gave techniques to help one activate the LOA. It explains that LOA is more then just think and it will occur one must have inspired action, gratitude and a positive feelings towards what you desire. A good introduction to LOA.

  • Little House on Rocky Ridge
    • Rated 4 stars

    A very good children's book. MacBridge writing style is similar to Laura Ingalls Wilder. He must have used On the Way Home to help write this fictionalized story of Rose and her family moving to Mansfield, MO. I found a lot of similarities between the two. I think that I will read the rest of series. It is a nice continuation of the Little House books.
