1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up

By Julia Eccleshare

From Publishers Weekly
This British import, a survey of influential children's books (part of the 1001 series and edited by the Guardian's children's books editor), offers a comprehensive and diverse compendium of more than a century's worth of essential reads. The compact and encyclopedia-thick format is divided into five age ranges. A review of each book is accompanied by original publication information (readers will have to research current availability, especially as some titles differ in the U.S. market) and themes, with cover and interior art interspersed throughout. Favorites like Bridge to Terabithia will satisfy traditionalists, while crossover books like Italo Calvino's The Baron in the Trees and international selections (for example, Swedish author Pernilla Stalfelt's The Death Book) will broaden the canon. An asset for all those who've caught—or never lost—the bug.

A Is For Admission

By Michele A. Hernández

Our Shelf Talker

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.

Antiques Road Show Behind the Scenes

By Marsha Bemko

Our Shelf Talker

I am hooked on this show and this book tells you how the show works. It explores the history and lore and why ten million people tune in every week. It turns out it is an extraordinary undertaking to put on this show. This book is so worth reading.

Money for Nothing

By John Gillespie and David Zweig

Our Shelf Talker

Both authors are Harvard MBAs with long experience in business so they have seen it all from the inside. They have taken it upon themselves to explore a darker side of corporations and the boards of directors who are supposed to be “governing” them. Why aren’t these boards more vigilant about CEO compensation? Why do they get paid so much for attending a couple of meetings a year? These are just a couple of the questions asked by the authors. The answers are very interesting.

Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements

By Dwight Garner

Our Shelf Talker

New York Times book critic Dwight Garner brings together original ads for some of the most acclaimed and bestselling books of the twentieth century, including The Great Gatsby, On the Road, Invisible Man, Lolita, Silent Spring, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, and dozens of other classics in Read Me. These ads show us famous books when they were simply new volumes jostling for attention on bookstore shelves, not yet icons of our literary culture. This is a fascinating look at our cultural history from many different perspectives - booklover, graphic designer, advertiser, history lover - very intriguing.

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

By Lewis, Michael

Our Shelf Talker

Lewis is just a brilliant journalist and he pulls out all the stops in this non-fiction book about one part of the economic mess. He writes intriguingly about three groups of people who bet against (or shorted) the housing market, hoping in effect that it would blow-up. There were many smart people in this country that expected this to happen and were willing to go against the herd mentality. They were rewarded with huge amounts of money as their bets paid off. You will be greatly intrigued by the story of how these guys operated and what they were able to walk away with.

The Nine Rooms of Happiness: Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life's Little Imperfections

By Danziger, Lucy

From the outside, you'd think I have it all: beautiful house, wonderful children, devoted husband. But am I happy? I think so. There's nothing that has gone terribly wrong. There's no reason for me not to be happy. But I don't feel happy so much as I feel I'm just going through the motions. Sometimes I have the feeling that there's more and I just haven't found it yet. But what . . . and how dare I want more? Isn't all that I have enough?

Vanity Fair's Presidential Profiles: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans--And What Each One Really Thought about His Prede

Our Shelf Talker

This book is an example of a "short" book as opposed to a "dumb" book. By that I mean there are books providing information for busy people and they offer small bits of facts, etc. and they can be small and fun or just dumb. This book takes one page for each president and provides some interesting facts, including what each thought of their predecessor. Fun for kids and adults and not dumb.
