Book Reviews from 'Get Your Paws on a Good Book' participants The Skin Type Solution by Leslie Baumann: In order to learn more, I'm always reading, especially about health. This is a reminder to cover up when you go out in the sun. It also details what people can do to enhance their particular (you take a test) skin type. I couldn't put it down! The Pleasures of Helen by Lawrence Sanders: Hated it. Soul Harvest by Tim LaHaye: Wow...Great Reading. Dean and Me: A Love Story by Jerry Lewis: Interesting. Enjoyed hearing about the studio executives, actresses, and actors. Martin and Lewis were funny, not like the bad humor we have out there today. 11:00:43 AM     New Links on our web for the week of August 10 Books and Reading Book Lovers Wiki from Princeton Public Library.
