Networking All-in-One For Dummies
Networking All-in-One For Dummies by Doug Lowe (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
A nice overview. Not particularly good for what I needed, but if you need a little help planning and setting up a network, this book isnt bad. -- Added by Jb317317 on 03/03/2013

One Small Step Can Change Your Life
One Small Step Can Change Your Life by Robert Maurer (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
Easy read; great principles for lay person. Instead of shooting for drastic changes in your life, take small (the smallest possible) steps. This way, the brain's fear center doesn't get activated and change doesn't get shut down before you start. -- Added by ekruger1974 on 02/27/2013

Care of the Soul
Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
A very wise self-help book that talks about caring for ourselves and psychotherapy clients in a different way. Great for therapists and self-improvement enthusiasts. -- Added by ekruger1974 on 02/27/2013

The Night Circus
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
Although this read was a tad out of my comfort zone and definitely eerie in parts, I recommend the book to anyone who enjoys bizarre twists in relationships. It was an interesting perspective on some aspects of circus life and challenges of entertaining audiences. Depth in characterization through masterful visualization kept me reading, as well. -- Added by Janet McKinney on 02/25/2013

When She Woke
When She Woke by Hillary Jordan (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
This book has been described as a "chilling, futuristic novel," and that is as close to science fiction as I will probably ever get. -- Added by maxivon on 02/22/2013

Foretold
Foretold by Carrie Ryan (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
While I bought this book for the Rose and Dimitri story *swoon* I was pleasantly surprised with some of the stories and not so much by others. I went into this book unfamiliar with any of the other authors (aside from Richelle Mead) and by the time I finished it had read or plan to read other series from the authors in the book. Carrie Ryan's 'The killing Garden' was definitely a weird one though! I am ready for another Rose and Dimitri fix :( -- Added by trublu on 02/21/2013

Year Zero
Year Zero by Rob Reid (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
Once again, brilliant premise. Aliens have been listening to the radio waves of Earth for years enjoying all of its great music. Then they found out about copyright laws and realized they owe all of the money in the known universe. So to avoid debt, they decide it's better just to blow up the Earth. Great great idea. The copyright satire is perfect, but all of the science-fiction mythology feels weak and not as interesting. -- Added by ARileyL on 02/21/2013

Timewyrm
Timewyrm by Paul Cornell (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
Of course I read Doctor Who books. This was my first by Paul Cornell who went on to write for the new series. It concluded the four-parter with a very epic quality but still had too many subplots that weren't necessary. When dealing with The Doctor and Ace though, it was top-notch. -- Added by ARileyL on 02/21/2013
