It has been a while since I have written about a book, and that is because I haven't really read anything. Been too tired. I am picking away at a great self-help book that I will definitely blog on when I am finished with it. But I needed a fiction fix, so I decided to try the first book in a series that is selling really well at work: "Dead Until ( Read more... )

So, I know I have been pretty slack these recent weeks with the book challenge. Here's the truth. I started a book a week ago that was the third in a trilogy, the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke. But it was such a gap between books two and three that I just couldn't get into it without going back to the first two. So, I am shelving that one for ( Read more... )

Wow, I was looking at the calendar and it has been almost 3 weeks since I have posted a book update. Pretty much that whole time I had "Brisingr" in my possession, but with the room re-arranging and my exhaustion brought on by thoughtlessness, I had barely gotten through some of the pages. So, as things wound down this past weekend I finally sat ( Read more... )

Wow, I have been on a reading streak! I started this book last night and finished it today, having only put in a few hours. The book? "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray

A few weeks ago I was browsing the YA section at work, looking over the titles, sucking whatever creative energy I could from the place, and I stumbled across a book whose cover was faced-out on the shelf. It had a gold ( Read more... )

This book was recommended by my editor. It is for kids, but it is SUCH a popular series that when she recommended it I knew I wanted to read the first one. The series is called "Warriors" and it is written by Erin Hunter.

This is a book I wasn't planning on reading until November, because it isn't being published until then. But yet another reason why I am in love with Borders is they let us employees have ARC's (advance reader's copies, copies of the book sent out to major booksellers for people to read and be informed on the book to help build hype when it finally ( Read more... )

I wasn't sure if I was going to count this as a book, as it is technically an unpublished, incomplete book, but let me explain ( Read more... )

This book is why the smaller, fiction ones counting for the past two weeks aren't finished yet. After I finished "Body for Life for Women," a friend who is doing the program with me bought it off me. So I picked up the newest edition of the Body for Life guides: "Champions Body for Life."
