Smokin' Seventeen is another Stephanie Plum novel that has hit the shelves. In a series that seriously needs a new angle, this book is a long way from from establishing that. Instead, this book follows the same predictable and formulaic plot line that has become way overused -- without the character development that is expected during a long series.
Far from anything new, what you find is the same old rehashed stuff that you find in basically every Stephanie Plum novel. The big difference is that the author no longer seems to care one iota about her characters. At this

She’s Come Undone

Back when I was in high school, my English teacher recommended one of her favorite books from when she was in high school -- Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone. I picked it up one summer with absolutely no expectations other than if she liked it, I might, and have since passed my copy to many of my girlfriends. Despite being a very emotionally heavy book, it's one you want to share with others and one that stays with you long after you've finished it.

Being George Washington
December 23rd, 2011 by T Akery | New Releases
Being George Washington is another book by Glenn Beck. This time it is a look into the leadership skills of America's first President. As a result, Beck points out many of the successful leadership qualities that George Washington had. Because Glenn Beck is such a polarizing political figure, not every one will automatically like what he has written on the subject.
In this book, the focus is more on the leadership that George Washington displayed as America's first President, and on the way there. The major point of the story is to show how George Washington was able to be
