Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions
John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber, ...
St. Martin's Press, 2006
Great book
I have read John Kotter's previous work on leading change so I was curious as to whether his concepts could be effectively conveyed in fable form. To my delight, I discovered that Kotter put his own findings about the power of stories to work to create an engaging ...

The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed

Complicated, but good
The Mystery Methods still work, you just have to stick with it. Also recommend "Secrets of the A Game" by Logan Edwards and "The Game" by Neil Strauss.

St. Martin's Press, 2008
What a treat!

Acheron (Dark-Hunter, Book 12)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
St. Martin's Press, 2008
The best yet!
I LOVED this book. I think the first 400 pages detailing Ash's early life were much needed. So often in the DH novels I'll be thinking "OK, so you had a bad time, get over it and trust this girl" By detailing Ash's tragedies, I realized why that isn't always going ...

A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce
Alec Baldwin
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Brave Story
And it's not easy to speak of these matters in contemporary America, but Baldwin's line about being pulled into the American family law system is akin to being tied to a truck and then dragged down a gravel road late is excellent. As he put it, no one can hear your ...

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2008
LOVE PLUM-
This series is my absolute favorite "relax and read". Such great characters and always makes me laugh- perhaps after 14 there are just so many high expectations that fans get overly critical. Every person I recommend this just adores Stephanie Plum. Keep em coming ...

Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man
Dalton Fury
St. Martin's Press, 2008
An exceptional, superb, first hand account by the team leader of US Army Special Forces Detachment Delta
It is rare that readers are provided a first hand, accurate, contemporary, non politically constrained account of a major special operation by US Army Special Forces Detachment Delta. Many organizations claim the title, "special operations;" it takes more than a ...

Silly and Unbelievable
Silly stupid at times and unbelievable...and I loved it! Stephanie and her gang are always fun and this between the numbers book is no exception. I always look forward to spending time with the characters that Janet Evanovich creates.

Dark Summer
Iris Johansen
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Iris Johansen - always a good read
I have been reading Iris Johansen books for several years - her books engage you at the very beginning - keeping up your interest until the end. Her characters are engaging and easily related to. Dark Summer does not disappoint - I even felt myself relating to the ...

Three to Get Deadly (Stephanie Plum, No. 3)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 1998
Classic Stephanie Plum
I love Janet Evanovich! Funny, quirky, and believable characters. This book is no exception. The only thing I don't like is the OCCASIONAL rough language. However, for me, the good outweighs the bad BIG TIME.

A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father
Augusten Burroughs
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Almost to close to the soul
The saying "a perfect childhood is a waste of time" points to the lack of learning of such an unlikely upbringing: No wonder Augusten has become such an awesome writer!!
Our mind suppresses bad memories, unless we dig deep. Augusten's learning and ability to dig ...

Thin Is the New Happy
Valerie Frankel
St. Martin's Press, 2008
This is my mom and me!
Valerie Frankel speaks about things that she endured that I absolutely relate to. This book is about my mother and me!
I was put on my first diet at the tender age of eight. (I have photos from that time proving that I was not heavy.) I remember at age 15 ...
