This is a valuable insiders guide to getting into the Ivy League and other top colleges. Michelle has been an admissions officer so she is more than capable to discuss the myths and mandates and what schools really want.

I loved Olive Kittredge by Ms. Strout and as soon as I finished it I wanted to read something else by the author. This book is set in a small town in Maine and tells the story of a young minister struggling with the loss of his wife. He has two small children and the son goes to live with relatives and he continues to care for the daughter. She is traumatized by her mother's death and becomes mute and regresses in behavior and starts wetting the bed. The cruelty and intrusiveness of a small town is on display when people question whether the minister is having an affair with his housekeeper. This is a truly beautiful book about trying to survive a crisis.

If you are an animal lover, or not, this book is fascinating and quite tender. It is the story of how Dr. Irene Pepperberg spent 30 years in partnership with an African parrot, Alex, and was the first person to find a depth of intelligence in these parrots. A jaw-dropping story.
