Where you actually CAN judge a book by its cover

Upcoming books

Thought I would give a list of the books I'll be reading and reviewing in the next year or so. If you have good recommendations, feel free to add something, but most of these are ones I've wanted to read for a while.

Bob Wreidt. My, my. Don't even ask how I found you here. I'm not even sure... I was just looking around the world wide web... and there you were! It's as if I were randomly in Orange County and I happened to run in to you at say, Panera or something! Wait a minute... :) So since I happened upon this little spot of yours, I thought I'd say hello! Please pass on my greetings to your lovely wife!

Uh, Bob, I recommended the Baby-Sitter's Club and do not see any of them on your list. Might I suggest #76, Stacey's Lie? It's fun and a really good lesson on honesty.
