From Renting to Buying: A Basic Guide to First Time Home Buying and Ownership - Ben Stefan

This is a very short, super basic book on the topic.  It's geared towards people who have rented their whole lives.  It talks about hiring handy people to do your up keep that was 0% relevant to me or anyone who doesn't enjoy wasting money. 
It was good as a quick review, but I didn't think there was enough substance to really make it anything I'd recommend.  There are other, far more interesting and useful options on the topic.

Breasts: The Owner's Manual - Dr. Kristi Funk

I'm still not sure how I feel about this book.  It was both up-beat and depressing at the same time.  It is jam packed with information from what you can do today to avoid cancer all the way to how best to treat reoccurring cancer. 
Pro: You can make lifestyle changes today to lower your likelihood of developing all cancers, including breast.
Con: These changes aren't fun.  Cut out all alcohol except maybe a glass of red wine once in a while.  Exercise at least five hours a week.  Cut out all animal products, especially dairy and meat.  Don't eat processed foods.  Don't eat refined sugars or syrup.  Bla bla bla, you know, all the things your doctor has been telling you to do all along.
The good news is that you can make these changes at any point in time and start benefiting from them.  It's never too late to get started!
And even if you have a history of breast cancer in your family, it's ok! 85% of all breast cancer occurs in people without a family history of the disease. So if you've got relatives with breast cancer, it's not a death sentence.  And if you don't have relatives with the disease, you still need to be proactive about ensuring you are screened and maintain a healthy lifestyle!  More broccoli and flax all around!
I would recommend this book to anyone with a history of any cancer in their family, all women over 40, anyone who is fighting cancer or has a loved one fighting cancer.  Or anyone who is fascinated by cancer biology and treatment.

Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery

This was another "well, I never read it as a child" books.  I must confess, I hated this book as it started.  Anne rambled so much, I wanted to tell her to shut the hell up.  As the book progressed and the character was well-established, there was less need for the monologues of rambling.  The reader already knows the deal.  And then, as Anne ages, she does actually shut the hell up, which makes her much more palatable, in my opinion.  I like the whimsical ideas, but the delivery is poor.  It's supposed to be, it's a child ranting, but it sucks to read through it all.
As I said, eventually, it reached an "ok" point, but I believe I would have disliked this book as a child (the target reader) even more than I did today.

The Red Prophet - Orson Scott Card (Tales of Alvin Maker, Bk. 2)

The book made me sometimes wish fiction were true.  This is an American-style tall tale of powerful fiction. (again, as with the first book in this series, you really have to know your history to appreciate the differences and the lore)
At first, I was having a hard time getting into the Native story line having just come off of Seventh Son, but Card's superb story telling did eventually grab my attention.  This is a beautiful, tragic story that leaves you with all the wonder of real historical battle stories, but with both the relief and disappointment that it wasn't exactly real.  The hard part is that it's just close enough to what really happened and what could have really happened that it blurs the line between fiction and the real world perfectly.  I believe that's why it was such a good story.

Seventh Son - Orson Scott Card (Tales of Alvin Maker, Bk. 1)

Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors.  I've not read any of his books in a long time, and it was great to get back to him.  I'd actually read this book many years ago, but had a hard time following it up because the library didn't have all of the series (which I think is 7 books total, but not real sure).  So now I have access to a variety of other options and I've found them so I'm going to have a go at it again. 
This particular series I like because it takes place in Indiana.  I recognize many of the areas spoken about and enjoy pointing out that Indiana weather is so crazy that it's used as a plot device in a piece of fiction.  As always, I love the alternative world he's created, particularly because you really have to know your history to appreciate it. 
Needless to say, this is another fantastically fun, artfully crafted piece of fiction. 

The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman

I loved this book.  It reminded me of somewhere between CS Lewis and Madeleine L'Engle.  This is my favorite Gaiman book so far, but Good Omens in on my list to read soon too.  The book is beautifully written and I enjoyed it much more than many of the books I've been reading lately. 
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fanciful, magic-based fiction. 

I am Not your Perfect Mexican Daughter - Erika L. Sanchez

As far as angsty, YA novels go, this one was pretty good, but holy cow, if I'd read it before living in Brownsville I would have been like, "No one actually DOES this!"  But I have lived in Brownsville and the sad, sad remnants the parents desperately cling to "how it was in the old country" are totally accurate.  It infuriates me.  Immigrants come to this country to "give their children a better life" and then get mad or try to hold them back when those children take full advantage of what's offered here.  Either you want your children to surpass you economically, or you don't, and if you don't, just stay home where things never change!
This novel also focused a lot on basic differences between parents and children, which is common regardless of heritage or cultural background.  People reproduce and think that because that child shares half their genetic material, certainly the child will be just like they are.  So often wrong! And that was a central theme in this book.  It disgusts me when parents believe their children are great, so long as they agree 100% with you.
I don't expect anyone will read this, so spoiler alerts to follow:
This book hits irony HARD, which is both satisfying and frustrating.  The MC is a girl in her mid-teens with an older sister in her early 20's.  The eldest is the "golden" child and the younger is the "problem" child.  The older sister dies in a traffic accident and as the younger sniffs out something's not quiet in order, we learn the "perfect daughter" is anything but.  It's so aggravating how blind the parents are that the MC tries to kill herself, and frankly,based in their behavior, I can't say she's totally wrong.
This is a well-written book, but there aren't many people I'd recommend it to.
