For Adults
So brave, young, and handsome by Leif Enger [fiction]
"Enger's writing reminds me a bit of Pat Conroy. His use of the English language is exquisite and his characters unique. I liked his first novel better (Peace Like a River), but this one didn't disappoint. Great read!"
The handweaver's pattern directory by Anne Dixon [nonfiction]
"Handweavers will want to purchase this book of patterns. I have an old book of patterns that is falling apart, so I was greatly relieved to find this wonderful replacement. Includes basic instructions for those just starting out, along with excellent graphics of patterns and color examples."
For Kids
The Spooky Tail of Prewitt Peacock by Bill Peet {picture book]
"This children's book stands the test of time. My son loves it and wants to hear it over and over again! Prewitt is different from the other peacocks, but his differences end up saving all of the peacocks in the end. A good message of tolerance and acceptance of those who are different."
Probably Pistachio by Stuart J. Murphy [child nonfiction]
"Kind of a long book to read, but there are other opportunities in the book, like making predictions, building backround knowledge, inferring, etc. We ate pistachio ice cream a few days later, as well as pistachio nuts."
It's Probably Penny by Loreen Leedy [child nonfiction]
"My class wanted me to assign them the same homework Lisa's teacher assigned her class (in the book). Very cute book!"
Audiobooks
David Sedaris Live At Carnegie Hall [sound recording]
"This was so funny, that I had to pull over to the side of the road while I was driving. I've listened to this many times and still crack up. "
Videos
The Dead Girl [videorecording]
"With the cast involved in this film I expected a little more than we were given. There were several stories that all related to The Dead Girl but for the most part they were so loosely woven together and so poorly written that it was hard to really care about any of the stories by themselves. Even when you could see how they tied in to the original story there just wasn't enough substance."
Alvin and the Chipmunks [videorecording]
"this movie is cute and funny... a must see for all ages!!!"
