A book-hoarder who wants to learn everything and anything I can when I can through books (especially when hands-on experience not likely or available). A cup of coffee (or afternoon tea) and a good book while on my porch is my idea of a great relaxing time.

It's a bit tough to rate a writing guide of all things, but it's easily digestible and a good reference. You get some insight as to why news articles feel the way they do & can even be a bit terse. Plenty of examples within, including fragments that had ended up published, but wouldn't have been had the writing rules been compiled sooner.
And that's not a bad thing at all. It's not a long read (I read it at work over 2 lunch breaks), but is a good "quick reference" with some details regarding intent in spell work, then the colors, scents, etc. good to use if you don't want to try gleaning things from dozens of websites.
I don't remember why exactly I got this book, but I'm glad I did. John Sayles was a good storyteller and filmmaker (so far Lone Star is my favorite film of his). This is a book that helps you see what happens on film sets and off set using the making of "Matewan" as the guide. It isn't in-depth like a film school text would have, but it gives you an idea how things work and who is responsible for what needs to happen next. It's a good glimpse into the world of movie-making, and the last half of the book is the screenplay Mr. Sayles wrote for the film, so you can see for yourself what the script was about and go back to moments in the book that explain some of the scenes. I haven't seen the film myself yet, so I can't say how close the script …

This is a book I should've remembered I had on my shelves sooner. I could've used it last year when beginning my frantic job search. It has a lot of good pointers and examples (and has some "workbook-type" segments where you can pencil in your answers and get thinking on what you'd say in resumes, interviews, testimonials, all that stuff). The key points in this book are only more relevant as the "ghost jobs" tend to show up in online boards and the process of finding another job has gotten more complicated. If you know someone who has a tough time getting their job-seeking head on straight, this book is a good reference to at least help get some focus going.

Not as long as the other Serenity Dark Horse comics entries, but a nice stand-alone tale that gets a bit more complex as time goes on. When in the film, Shepherd Book said, "I wasn't BORN a shepherd, Mal,"... lets just say this book fills in a lot of the space between (hee hee). Interesting character study; just wish there was a LOT more.
story wise, anyway. Some of the character faces didn't seem quite as good as the first go through, but the stories were captivated. And I'd seen the show enough times that I could just put their faces in the panels instead and get beyond it (hee hee) anyway. Sometimes you just need to revisit crazy scenarios and quick reads. I don't have many comics, but these are keepers for me.
Was a late bloomer to anything "Firefly" or "Serenity"--by about 10 years--then became a Browncoat and devoured most anything related that I could (can't help it--I adore Mal). Got the 3 Dark Horse comics and this was the first I'd re-read. It's not some major continuation of the universe or anything, just feels like an action-packed slice of life in our favorite up-and-down in their fortunes crew. Nice fun little read, and the artwork and little extras are pretty good.
As medication has gotten a bad rap (and crazy expensive) over the years, some folks might wish to tackle ADHD symptoms with behavioral modification and other ideas. This has some good tips to help out and see what's possible, some probably heard of and some not so much. Either way, good resource (and it DOES have a bit about medications and their uses).
As a total newbie to it (it's kinda become my morning meditation, helping me sort through the crap in my head and find focus each day), I've consulted the pages of this book every time I've done a drawing to see what the cards generally mean. There are plenty of illustrations to introduce the cards so you can find them in a jiffy. My copy's getting worn out from repeated consults (hee hee), but finally got the chance to read cover to cover this weekend vs. as a reference. Keeping, even when other guides come out.
I'm a big fan of the Anatomy of Fitness books because I'm never quite sure if I'm doing the workouts correctly and would hate the idea of injuring myself. I also like variety when it comes to exercise and when I am in a time crunch and don't feel like setting up equipment, it's good to have alternatives.
I'm new to the stability board (and have not-so good balance that I'm eager to improve). I get bored easily, and there are various levels of exercise that can be tried out. If one is too difficult, then try an easier one. Some exercises require things like bands, dumbbells, etc., but there are plenty that do not. Definitely a handy resource
