Miss Vickie's Big Book of Pressure Cooker Recipes
Vickie Smith
Wiley, 2008
I use this cookbook a little more often than the Lorna J. Sass books.
I want a complete balanced meal when I cook. This means I use the microwave, pressure cooker, stove, and oven all at the same time to cook everything. I don't usually cook one pot meals. Pressure cookers work great for meats and grains. Brown rice is quick and easy. I ...

Don't Go There!: The Travel Detective's Essential Guide to the Must-Miss Places of the World
Peter Greenberg
Rodale Books, 2008
This book made me think in a good way
This book really (pleasantly) surprised me, at first I thought it would be all negatives but it really made me laugh, freak out and actually plan a trip! It reminded me it is my responsibility to research my holiday and not just trust the tourism boards or resorts. ...

Dan Gutman
HarperTrophy, 2004
If you've ever taught second grade...
I discovered Dan Gutman's Weird School series from tutoring a second grade boy who "hated reading." Not only did he like the books, I loved them!
Second graders are the crazy ones, and these books remind me of when I taught second grade. In fact, I think Dan ...

Little Miss Gift Set (Mr. Men and Little Miss)
Roger Hargreaves
Price Stern Sloan, 2007
Great starter set!
This is a great gift or starter set! It includes, as the description clearly states, 6 books. These usually retail for $3.99 each, so I am a little surprised to see people assume that this is all (40 or 50?) books for $11.50? I'm not sure what the disappointed people ...

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (Persephone Classics)
Winifred Watson
Persephone Books, 2008
Absolutely delightful
This little book may become one of my all time favorites. It is a great comic novel with bright dialogue, very English humor and characters who are three-dimensional. When mousy, timid little Miss Pettigrew knocks on Miss LaFosse's door to apply for a desperately ...

Beatiful
I just left home and school to live on my own as an intern in DC. I've been doing lots of responsible adult type activities, cooking, waking up early, cleaning etc and was feeling a little strange about feeling so old. As I was walking to work this morning, I took a ...

Fun to read, just enough to satisfy for bedtime.
Every night before bed, my 2 1/2 year old Son gets to choose what book(s) he'd like to have read to him. Ever since getting this set he's always asking for one of the books (and not just at bedtimes either).
What's great about these books is they're fun to read and ...

Poor Mr Bump
I grew up with these fun little books. I loved them so much, I used to carry at least one round with me wherever I went. It's nice to see that the Mr Men series is still around for little kids and their parents to enjoy. Mr Bump is an accident prone guy. He's always ...
