Gary Harpst
Six Disciplines Publishing, 2008
Planning and Execution
While the ultimate message put forth in this book is about executing your plans and how to go about that, it is very much based on what needs to be done first - and that is Planning, Goal-Setting. Without this foundation in place first, any actions in business will be ...

Eclipse (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 4)
Erin Hunter
HarperCollins, 2008
The Warriors Return!
The difference between the New Prophecy and the Power of Three series seems to be astoundingly different. All Warriors fans can say goobye to the cliches and predictable characters of the second series; the Erin Hunters have brought a spectacular new miniseries to ...

The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman
HarperCollins, 2008
It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures.
Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...

Guinness: World Records 2009 (Guinness World Records)
Guinness World Records
Guinness, 2008
The best gets better every year
I still buy and read the Guinness Record book every year, because it's become like an old friend that I like to catch up with, but I have to disagree with Birch East. I like the way it has changed and brings out a fresh look each year. The changes, like holograms, 3D ...

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)
Rick Riordan
Hyperion Book CH, 2008
Percy's adventures continue at a frenetic pace!
I had purchased The Lightning Thief (1st book in the series of 4, so far...) for my 11 year old son who does NOT like to read silently, figuring that we could read it aloud together, and to try to get him interested in non-fiction. It also coincided with Greek ...

The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, Book 6)
Eoin Colfer
Hyperion Books for Children, 2008
This is my favorite of the series
I've read that male writers tend to be more plot based and female writers more character based. Every time I read a book I've been noticing that this statement is true. Women writers portray more emotion in their characters and this is what makes them so interesting. ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

Something Fishy to Me!!!
Super Book, as are all Dr. Seuss books! Book was new and as described. Fast shipping...rec'd in 4 days. It would be nice though if Amazon didn't set the shipping rates so the sellers could use media mail for their books to make it cheaper for the purchaser! If they ...
