BizzWords: From Ad Creep to Zero Drag, a Guide to Today's Emerging Vocabulary by Gregory Bergman

This was an interesting book to say the least. It's a fun, light, and entertaining read. I like the reactions I get from friends and family when I use some of these terms...you should try it too!

the change your life challenge by Brook Noel

Being a new year and all, I was definitely in the mood for some life changing events no matter how small they may appear to be at first.

I enjoyed this book because of the way it's set up; the Mini-Makeovers are totally independent of each other...just find what interests you the most and start there. No need to go from beginning to end. Another thing about the book I enjoyed were were the "Take a Step Forward" exercises. They helped me out a lot as they provided a "hands-on" learning approach. It's always a good thing if you can actually try out what it is you're reading about.

I tend to be a pack rat and find it hard to get rid of things, things that I don't even need anymore so obviously the first page I turned to was the part that talks about "The True Cost of Clutter" to get immediate help. Some of the exercises you're supposed to do actually really help.

"The Five-Minute Relationship Miracle" also was an eye-0pener for me because I am always so busy and doing everything at a fast pace. Do you know what the difference is between hearing and listening?

There are so many other good parts I could go on and on but I guess you'll just have to check it out for yourself.

Walking Through Walls: A Memoir by Philip Smith

If you are a fan of memoirs you will definitely like this book, it caught my attention write from the beginning. I actually started doing research on the internet on psychics and healing and other subjects that were talked about in the book.

Although it is not easy, the author points out that anyone can learn to be a "healer" and help people with whatever ails them.

It is a really interesting read and lets the reader get a "feel" for what a true healer (and a decorator at that) deals with on a daily basis.

A must read...it's great!

Sunnyvale: The Rise and Fall of a Silicon Valley Family

I enjoyed reading this book because it talks about the many universal things that most of us go through: losing a loved one, sibling rivalry, changing careers, etc... . A very thought provoking book that will cause you to think about your own life.

Call Me Ted

For anyone interested in business this is a good book to read. It tells how Ted struggled to get to where he is today and how you can't really gain anything if you are not willing to take big risks. A nice touch to the book are the "Ted Stories" because they give us another perspective of Ted.

The Misadventures of Oliver Booth: Life in the Lap of Luxury

Not too many books have made me laugh out loud like this one did. This is a very funny book that reminds us to be careful what we wish for. It seems that Oliver has always wanted to live among the rich and famous. In this novel he gets that and much more, only not the way he was expecting.

Many funny twists...can't wait to see what happens next in the upcoming novel, a must read.

We Interrupt This Broadcast with 3 CDs: The Events That Stopped Our Lives...from the Hindenburg Explosion to the Virginia Tech Shooting

I've always been interested in what's happening around the world and with this book you can go back in history and read about it. The audio CDs, which allow you to listen to the book while on the go, are a great addition to the book.

The table of contents (toc) was organized very well. I liked the fact that each story had a picture to go along with it for a quick visual connection to what you are looking for. The disk and track information is side by side with the regular (toc) so whether you are wanting to read or listen, finding the story will be easy. It's the little seemingly unimportant details like this that help make a good book even better.

What I enjoyed the most about this book was being able to listen to the broadcast while following along with the book and looking at the pictures. Overall, I'd say this is an excellent book. A book that should be on the shelf of every home.
