Book Reviews from participants in the Pollinate Your Mind Summer Reading Club Min Aquariums by David Boruchnowitz: Lots of good info in the book. Lots of specifics on small fish species. What the book lacks, in my opinion, are pictures of actual mini & nano aquarium set ups. Girl Get your credit straight by Glinda Bridgforth: Glinda tells you about her debt mess and what she did to overcome. what you need to know and how to use the information to assist a reader with debt freedom or to stay out of debt and all debt problems. How, to save and invest to get or further a money increase. Herbs of the Earth by Mary Carse: A listing of herbs and how they help certain health issues. How to use, quality, usage. Explanation of the herb. A guide to educate. Innocent by Harlan Coben: So many different twists and turns, a series of plots and characters and always an excellent mystery by Coben. Harlen Coben strikes fear in the hearts of purist and of those who have made a mistake or two in their life. Secrets never stay hidden forever, no matter how good the intention. A better life can be had-but your past never disappears totally. It is always looking just over your shoulder. Excellent read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Just one look by Harlan Coben: Once again Coben keeps you turning the pages-long into the night. Twists and turns-more twists and turns and finally you think the last piece of the puzzle drops into place. Now it's time for the happy ending-which does not happen. Then, just when you thought you knew everything, Coben throws in a few more surprises. What a wonderful, vivid, and realistic imagination Coben has! A very enjoyable book. 3:45:07 PM     Catalog Choice From Download Squad: Catalog Choice is a web based service that allows you to opt out of receiving print catalogs that you don't want.
