Forbidden Pleasure (Bound Hearts, Book 8)Forbidden Pleasure (Bound Hearts, Book 8) by Lora Leigh
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $5.02
Just plain entertaining. Not for the ultra-conservative crowd.
I'm with the Band: Confessions of a GroupieI'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie by Pamela Des Barres
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $8.73
I thought I would have absolutely nothing in common with the author and wouldn't like her at all but I ended up thinking she'd be a fun friend to hang out with (occasionally) and the kind of pal you could call at 2am to lament your love life with.
My LifeMy Life by Bill Clinton
Buy new: $12.89 / Used from: $0.98
It's not that I dislike the man or anything but truly I had no real desire to find out anything more about him but I'm glad I read this one.
The Battle of Mogadishu: Firsthand Accounts from the Men of Task Force RangerThe Battle of Mogadishu: Firsthand Accounts from the Men of Task Force Ranger
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.95
I really thought this would compare unfavorably to Mark Bowden's "Black Hawk Down" or that it would just be a "rehash" of that book but I'd DEFINITELY recommend reading them both to get different points of view on this subject.
The Wolf and the DoveThe Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Before there was Lora Leigh, Johanna Lindsey and other best selling romance writers, there was Kathleen E Woodiwiss. Despite the age of this book (it was first published in 1974), it's still appealing today. If you like Johanna Lindsey, I'm betting you'll like this book.

Buy new: $13.57 / Used from: $2.99
Egads! Not another "diet" book! That's right, not another diet book. More like common sense things that you forgot you knew and all in one book How about that? I loaned my copy to a friend but miss it and so will be getting another.

Oh how I LOATHE reality television. Truly, it makes me wonder about the future of civilization. However, though I never watched even one minute of this show, the cookbook turned out to be a welcome addition to my kitchen library.
The Bridges of Madison CountyThe Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
I absolutely thought I would be disgusted by a book about adultery but I ended up reading it in one sitting. It didn't end up being a "keeper" (a book worthy of a spot on my bookshelves) but I don't regret reading it. Just don't expect me to watch the movie....
Wreck This JournalWreck This Journal by Keri Smith
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $7.39
Oh PLEASE! How ridiculous.....and FUN! Just do it.
The Hollywood Book of Extravagance: The Totally Infamous, Mostly Disastrous, and Always Compelling Excesses of America's Film and TV IdolsThe Hollywood Book of Extravagance: The Totally Infamous, Mostly Disastrous, and Always Compelling Excesses of America's Film and TV Idols by James Robert Parish
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $10.13
You'll be appalled, you'll marvel, you'll be amazed.....and quite probably disgusted as well but still an entertaining read that can be put down and picked up days, weeks, months later when time permits and how many books really can you say that about?
