The Pact by Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins and Rameck Hunt

This isn't a book I would normally pick up - my boyfriend had to read it as an assignment for a college course and I decided to read it as well.  That being said, I don't regret reading this book at all.  The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream by Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins and Rameck Hunt with Lisa Frazier Page is an inspiring true story of three inner city kids overcoming all odds and becoming doctors.

Render by Stephanie Fleshman Book Review

Are you ready for an action packed young adult novel that will keep you guessing?  If so, look no farther than Render by Stephanie Fleshman.  Render has everything to keep a reader intrigued - plot twists, mystery, adventure, a love story and well developed characters. 

Reading Multiple Books at Once

We all have different types of reading-reading for class, fun, work, to a child.  Reading is very important to me and I believe the more you read the better your vocabulary, reading comprehension, and maybe even memory will become.  That being said, how do we juggle all of the different reading that we have to or want to do.  What happens when they want and have to reads coincide with each other?  Or what happens when you just can't wait to read that one book that just was released but you are in the middle of a saga?  How do you cope?

A Guest Post by Stephanie Fleshman

When Life Gets in the Way of Reading...

With the end of summer upon us I find that my "me" time and my reading time has slipped away like so many people's.  I have family, home and work obligations.  My significant other is taking college courses and needs my assistance and support to be successful in his classes (I may have gone to three colleges for a total of 8 years-I know my way around colleges).  This has left so little time for me to read.  And people who know me know I'm a voracious reader.  So, how have I been coping and finding a little me/reading time in between everything?  Little bits of time at a time...
