by Kaitlin December 1st, 2011 | Nonfiction, Young Adults
When I was a senior in high school, a family friend gifted me with a book that was a great resource for me for the four years I spent away at school, and will be sure to help me as I (eventually) move out on my own. The Modern Girl’s Guide to Life, by Jane Buckingham, is just what it says: a step-by-step guide on how to fake it 'til ya make it and wow everyone while you’re at it. It’s an updated version of Emily Post, advising on how to be both classy and brassy at the same
I, Steve
by T Akery November 25th, 2011 | New Releases, Nonfiction
I, Steve: Steve Jobs in His Own Words is a book that records all of the quotes that Steve Jobs made to the media. Steve Jobs was Apple. In his quotes, you find a look into his world and that of Apple.

Where’s the Birth Certificate?

Clearly, Where's the Birth Certificate?:The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President written by Jerome Corsi is a political book. Sometimes, you simply have to wonder why such books are considered non-fiction and then you have to wonder why they made the New York Times bestseller list.

Killing Lincoln
by T Akery October 28th, 2011 | New Releases
First of all, Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever is co-authored by Bill O'Reilly. The reason for bringing this point up first is that Bill O'Reilly is a political commentator for the Fox News Network. Therefore, he will have some people who love his work and some who are at odds with his political opinions. In other words, if you dislike him, then it is very unlikely that you will like a book written by him.
