It's been awhile since I've read this book, but I do remember it being a page turner. I liked the fact that the main character was a woman, a strong woman, if I remember correctly! Enjoy!

What I love about National Geographic is first of all they employ some of the best photographers, and in this book, the photography is splendid. Secondly, NG lets you visit places you might not even have known existed or may not even have a chance in your lifetime to visit, but these types of books allow you to do just that. This one is well worth the trip! :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This one was so down to earth and touched me in so many ways. It also made me a little sad at times because this was written around the time of the first President Bush/Clinton era. Deb Price writes with great hope regarding the GLBT community in regards to issues such as gays and lesbians being able to be out in the military and our right to marry, which sadly hasn't come true yet.
It was however, good to know that she was the first lesbian columnist in major newspapers!! I really like the way she & Joyce write, and looked forward to reading it. :-)

This is a wonderful little book from the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a piece of artwork from the museum. I really enjoyed the artwork in this book and the sense of humor too.

If you like French Country, you'll love the photographs in this book. Rich & vibrant and totally inspirational. I particulary like how the French use different variations of blue, on doors, trim and wooden gates.

Loved this book! I found myself laughing during much of my reading. Calvin & Hobbes have always been one of my favorite comic strips and this was definitely a nice way to revisit an old friend. Just glad I'm not Calvin's mom!!! :-)

A nice collection of stories from women who talk about the first time they met their long-term partner. I really enjoyed all the different perspectives. This was a quick read for me and it brought back fond memories for me.

If you like art & a strong woman's voice, then please read this book. Judy truly writes from within herself. It is also a good history lesson for anyone who is not only an artist, but a woman as well. :-)

I understand now why Toni Morrison won the Nobel Prize In Literature. She has such a way with words and to hear her read this story was definitely well worth it. The story, The Bluest Eye, is well written, well read by Toni Morrison & Ruby Dee and at times is sad, introspective and at times a scary look into the human condition. Even though this is an abridged version, the story will pull you in.

Published in 2002, this book still has great relevance in today's culture. Mab Segrest writes about racial justice, women's rights etc. In this book, she visits various places around the world, highlighting the women that are activists in those areas. It's a good book to read, though it does remind me somewhat of some of the textbooks I read while in college, great information, but a bit slow going. Don't let that stop you from reading it, especially if you are an activist at heart.

Dilbert once again shows his 'love' for the corporate life. This one had me laughing almost all the way through the book. Scott Adams has definitely captured corporate life in a way no one else has, he 'gets' it! If you ever have worked for a corporation, you definitely need to read Dilbert!

I absolutely love this book! If you know anyone who owns a cat, this would make an fabulous gift! I sat down & read it immediately and laughed, especially since it reminded me of some of the cats in our home.
Besides who can resist a cat book that has a rhinestone collar on the cat on the cover?

This was a very easy read and as the title says, it is a nice companion book. It introduced me to women that I hadn't heard of before, other than Dale Evans and Annie Oakley. It is also filled with little bits of information on some of the pages - sidebars, so to speak, which in some ways I found distracting from my reading. Also included are poems from some Cowgirls. I was left wanting to know more about the women themselves from the past & present who are considered cowgirls, rather than what kind of home they might chose to live in.
All in all though, it was a good book to read and was written well enough to keep my attention throughout the whole book. :-)

This book has been very useful for me when I've wanted to do something different than just paint a wall. I've learned how to rag paint and use glazes, how to wallpaper properly & even what kind of trims to use. There's even a chapter on how to use fabric on a wall - which if done right looks really great. This book comes with a lot of great tips and advise on paint & wall coverings. :-)

While reading this book, in the back of my mind I kept imagining Carrie Fisher writing and living parts of this book. I suppose it's because she is rather famous and she has put a bit of her life 'out there'. Regardless of that, I enjoyed my trip through this book. The main character I could relate to, even though she is kind of quirky as are the other cast of characters in this book. Fisher has a quick wit and a writing style I like and enjoyed reading. And I truly enjoyed the group of friends that the main character has in her life.

This book gave me a different perspective concerning dogs. It is based partially on scientific analysis, but to me based more on the author's perception of his own dogs. It is an interesting read and gave me some 'food for thought' concerning my own dogs.

I enjoyed most of the writing in this book. A couple of the writers I just couldn't 'connect' with, but that's ok with an anthology. And actually I enjoyed reading the 'Notes About Racism In The Process' which is actually in the beginning of the book and not one of the short stories. I appreciated the candor of the women in explaining themselves and how they came to certain realizations.
I certainly enjoyed reading stories from a Lesbian perspective and some of these writers, while I have never heard of them before are very good. :-)

There are lots of good ideas in this book, but mostly the author talks about finding bargains at the dollar store and how to use them to decorate your home. I personally like finding my items at actual flea markets, so I think the title of this book is a little misleading. That being said, there are great photos in here to give you a clear idea of how she used objects to decorate different areas of her home. My favorite is on page 60, a blackboard that she made. :-)

A fun, quick read. The main character has a definite sharp edge to her and comes off as a bit shallow. This is the first book I've read by the author, Robert Rodi, and I'll definitely be looking for other books of his to read. :-)
