How would you like to be able to access a "Consumer Reports" type of book site where you can:

  • Get great book recommendations from people.
  • Keep track of what you've read and what you'd like to read.
  • Form a book club, answer book trivia, collect your favorite quotes

United States of Tara

United States of Tara

Despite the boldfaced names behind the scenes -- Steven Spielberg! Diablo Cody! -- it's the woman at its center who ensures "United States of Tara" is more than a gimmick with a cutesy name. By turns oozing sexuality, vulnerability and confusion, Toni Collette gives Showtime's latest half-hour its buoyant pulse

Review: The Emporer's Code

For anyone reading The 39 Clues series, book eight has arrive and it is full of adventure.

The Emporer's Code, this title by Gordon Korman, hit the shelves earlier this month and it doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed it as an audio book and I think you will too.

As the race to find the 39 Clues builds to its explosive finish, Amy and Dan must explore an ancient culture and steal a Clue guarded by thousands of the world's best-trained soldiers. It's the most dangerous Clue search yet. As their enemies crowd in, Amy and Dan find themselves separated for the first time ever. The choice lies before them – find the next Clue, or find their way back to each other.
