I'm interested on opinions on these books if you've read them... Some of them I'm not even sure if they're worth reading I just grabbed them because I only had 5 mins left to get books. Tell me if they're no good, so I can trade them in for diff books. We have the best bookstore EVER here, you trade in books for credit to get books at the store. : D
