Saturday Read: Enter the Babylon System
Now, I love my fiction, but sometimes I just get a hankering for a real fact-filled, non-fiction book. I was watching MTV Canada one day saw Rodrigo Bascunan, the author of a fantastic book called “Enter the Babylon System,” being interviewed. On a whim, I decided to get it from the library (if MTV likes him, then he must be bad ass, right?) and boy was I impressed!
Saturday Read: Left Bank by Kate Muir
I’ve officially been re-bitten by the travel bug. During the school year my traveling urges go into a slight hibernation as I am far too busy getting my study on to dream of far off places and the trips I’d like to take. There are times, though, when my studies get too boring and I find myself planning imaginary trips to London, England or Walt Disney World.

Saturday Read: The Best Love Stories You’ll Ever Read
If you’ve caught any of my Saturday Reads you already know that I whole-heartedly LOVE books. And it just so happens that some of my most-loved reads are, in fact, love stories.
Saturday Read: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
So lately I have, like the rest of the world it seems, been anticipating the release of Dan Brown’s “Angels and Demons” film. I’ve re-read the book (I have the nice copy with pictures!) and “The Da Vinci Code” in preparation and cannot seem to satisfy my historical-thriller appetite.
The 7 Best Self Help Books I’ve Ever Heard Of
A few years ago, if someone mentioned a self-help book around me I would have cringed… and laughed in their face. I didn’t understand how people could pay money for books that any idiot with a computer could write and try to pawn off as good, sound advice.
Saturday Read: Looking for Alaska by John Green
Working at a bookstore, I run into plenty of what I call “book snobs.” People who will only read a book if it’s received 5-star reviews from the most prestigious of literary critics, if it is on the Bestseller list or if it’s won the flipping Nobel Prize. Plenty of books, even fluffy ones, can have great messages and really strike a chord within the reader.
Saturday Read: Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov
I’ll admit it: I’ve got a thing for relationship self-help books. When I’m working the floor at my local bookstore, I can’t help but skim through the latest additions to the section.

Saturday Read: The Reincarnationist by M.J. Rose
For all of you Dan Brown fans just chomping at the bit waiting for “The Solomon Key” (word on the street is you’ll be waiting for eternity), I have a book to satisfy your appetites for a while!
Saturday Read: Dedication by Emma McLaughin and Nicola Krauss
I am not a huge reader of chick-lit, but I admit, sometimes I just get the urge and have to indulge! It’s like the 99 times I pass by Mrs. Fields at the mall until that on time I can’t take the fresh cookie smell anymore…. and I get three.
Saturday Read: Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
If you don’t know who the Red Hot Chili Peppers are, I just want to know what rock you’…
Saturday Read: Bonk by Mary Roach
I love science. Figuring out how things work, studying anatomy, mixing chemicals; I love it all…
Saturday Read: The Virgin Suicides, by Jeffery Eugenides
Like “A Clockwork Orange”, this book is probably more famous as a film. But, again…
