Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince | |||||
| by J.K Rowling | ||||||
| A magnificent spectacle more than
worth the price of admission, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince will blow you away. However, given that so much has gone
into protecting the secrets of the book (including armored trucks
and injunctions), don't expect any spoilers in this review. It's
much more fun not knowing what's coming--and in the case of Rowling's
delicious sixth book... |

The Mermaid Chair | |||||
| by Sue Monk Kidd | ||||||
By boldly tackling such major themes as love, betrayal, grief, and forgiveness, The Mermaid Chair forces readers to question whether moral issues can always be interpreted in black or white.
