Juli's Pick

The Sneaker Book
By: Melissa Cardona
The sneakers you dig were previously cool. Check out the sneakers from the 70's-you'll see! My beloved 1970's Tretorns are in this book. *swoon*







Kourtney's Pick

A Thousand Splendid Suns
By: Khaled Hosseini

PS 3608 .O832 K58 2007
This book is sad and makes you appreciate what you have. It is very eye opening to the ways of another culture. All in all it is a really good book. While it is sad it makes you realize how strong people can be. I would read it again in a heartbeat.

My Reality Check Bounced!
By: Jason Ryan Dorsey

BF 637 .S8 D625 2007
Jason Ryan Dorsey actually came and spoke on campus several years ago- he is a very motivating speaker! About this book- I can't say it any better than he does! Read it!!! "You have ambitions and abilities; it's time they produced results. You have good ideas bouncing around in your head; it's time they came to life. You know in your heart you were born to do more, be more, and experience more. But only you can make what you believe to be possible spring to life. Only you."







Alex's Pick

Buffalo Wagons
By: Elmer Kelton

NETLIBRARY AUDIOBOOKS
Juli said I couldn't pick any more Louis so I thought I'd go with this great one from Elmer Kelton. The old time Buffalo Hunters were about as tough as they come. Great story.

Change We Can Believe In
By: Barack Obama

E 901.1 .O23 C456 2008
This is a good book about what Barack Obama plans to do with our country. Everyone is pretty nervous about what is going to happen, so maybe you should read this book and get an insight on what our president plans to do. We must stay positive.
