I thought I would never finish this book. It seemed such a slow read, because several of the essays did not engage my interest, and being a bit OCD, I refused to skim through them. Eventually though, I found essays that pulled me into their world and made me want to read much, much more from their authors. I particularly loved "The Book of Knowledge" by Steven Harvey, "El Camino Doloroso" by David Siercy, and "Epilogue: Deadkidistan" by Michelle Mirsky, which were the last three essays in the collection, and I added 9 authors' names to my ever-growing list of people to read before I die, so loving 9 essays out of 26 enough to read more of their work, made the journey worthwhile.

Big Bad Wolf: by Frankie Love is a great read, If you like stories about a bad boy next door then is for you. Had me hooked from first. I received an advance reader's copy and I am voluntarily leaving my review for this great book.

so i had some metal plates covered in this tape, and i had barely managed to get one plate somewhat clean with a knife/alcohol

I normally like to buy shoes at the department store where I can try them on prior to purchase so I was a bit on the skeptic side when I ordered these. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived though! My shoe size is 6.5 and didn't hesitate to order a 6.5 and was very glad they fit perfectly. They're super comfortable, I have yet to take them on a jog. I've only wore them to school where I do a lot of walking around campus and they don't hurt my feet or anything, I'll wear them for maybe 6-8 hours and feel as comfortable as ever in these. Very happy with my purchase and they're so cute too!

This is an upgrade for me from Quickbooks Pro 2009. I am satisfied with the product and was very please with the price I paid.
