  • Mike Edison Author Of You Are A Complete Disappointment A Triumphant Memoir Of Failed Expectations
    This book is flat out, flat out! The tease goes like this... His dying father is in a hospital room hooked up to breathing apparatus making it difficult to communicate. He motioned the author Mike to come a little closer. He told Mike he was glad he was there and went on to tell his son, "YOU are a complete disappointment!"
    And he was just getting started....
    This is a really raw, painful, intimate and ultimately joyful look at a very complex father/son relationship. But I think it could just as easily be a mother/son, daughter/father or mother/daughter relationship. It crosses all boundaries. I find it difficult to believe that this is as isolated as one might think. I believe people don't talk about it or are embarrassed to talk about it. How does one begin to process such a thought? A parent who is competitive and jealous of their own offspring.
    This is a must read for many reasons...it's entertaining and actually has some very funny moments, there are moments that made me uncomfortable but there is learning and growing and revelation too. This is one of those books that was a page turner and very easy to read.

  • Marie Noel Groves Registered Herbalist And Author Of Body Into Balance Natural Solutions For The Whole Body Health
    Oh how I love this book! The style in which it is written, the organization, the cross referencing, the information love it, love it, love it.
    Maria Noel Groves is a registered herbalist and can talk about what people did long before prescription companies started taking out trademarks and such. She talks about why one is better for a condition than say another herb. Although there are still some people who think of this sort of thing as voodoo it is not. She covers, Immune System, Cardiovascular, Digestive, Respiratory. There are availability ratings,descriptions of key properties,additional benefits of an herb or essential oil, best way to preparation methods and more.
    She answers the question "Why herbal or natural medicine?" She big on education and this book I will keep forever. So much to digest, no pun intended, and learn~

  • Author Stephanie Dray Talks America's First Daughter Her Book About Martha Patsy Jefferson Randolf President Thomas Jefferson's Daughter
    I'm not a big history buff and I feel like I need to get that right out there. But this book was so intriguing to me. It was an easy read and it made me appreciate that time in history a bit more. I agree with Stephanie...this book is really for everyone, President Jefferson fans, lovers of politics, women looking for stories about strong, impactful, positive women in history, maybe romance isn't the word but there's some unbreakable loyalty and devotion and probably love too. I can highly recommend this book.

  • New York Times Bestselling Sports Writer And Author John Feinstein Talks His New Book The Sixth Man The Triple Threat Book 2
    New York Times Best Selling Sports Writer And Author John Feinstein talked to me a little it about his just released book The Sixth Man.
    This is Book 2 in a series John is writing for young adult readers. There's entertainment first and foremost but there are also nuggets of wisdom that might cause the reader to ponder, question and see things in a fresh light.
    I really enjoyed talking to John about this new book. In the second installment it's basketball season, there are promises to turn the Lions losing streak around and lead the team to a conference title. But, word gets out that Max Belotti is gay. Will the team come together and get their shot at the title?
    John shows that the world is a diverse place, children will meet many people who are not like them. As I told John I'd love to see this series turn into another Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew.

  • Criss Angel Illusionist Magician SUPERNATURALIST
    I had heard about Criss Angel, I had friends who have watched him perform live and all have said it was a mind blowing experience. You will question reality, you will wonder exactly what makes this guy tick, and you will walk out of the studio shaking your head trying to figure out exactly how he did that. He was an interesting guy to talk to, he gives back (and that's something he doesn't like to talk about), and he has been compared to Houdini. Meet Criss Angel, the guy behind the illusions~
    Visit his website www.CrissAngel.com where he will show you a quick 3 minute trick that will amaze your friends!

  • Janice Kaplan Author Of The Gratitude Diaries: How A Year Looking On The Bright Side Can Transform Your Life
    When I called the agent to book this she said "I thought I'd be hearing from you or I thought you'd like this one." I really did enjoy this book very much. I think it's a good way to live, or at least try for 30 days. Commit to just 30 days. I dare you to really keep to it!
    I'm a pretty grateful person. Probably became more so after the colon cancer in 2009. It didn't have anything to do with the outcome. It has more to do with remembering to be grateful on a daily basis. It beats the alternative~

  • Today's Conversation With Kim Is With Chef and NYT Best Selling Author Of The Third Plate, Dan Barber
    Today's Conversation With Kim is with New York Times Best Selling Author and Chef Dan Barber. His book "The Third Plate" Field Notes On The Future Of Food intrigued me. When it comes to our food, how to grow it, where it actually comes from, why we should eat real food, Dan has done some pretty comprehensive research. Plus he gets extra points for talking to me a little bit about GMO's. Whenever I get someone on the air and ask them about GMO's no one wants to talk about them? Dan takes you on a journey through soil, land, sea and seed. This is a great read, and if you're like me you will find yourself re-reading a few things to really get some clarity.
    Connect with Dan at Blue Hill Farm, his restaurant, at www.bluehillfarm.com
    Or give Dan a call during regular business hours (as Dan enjoys getting away from the kitchen and speaking food via phone): (212) 539-1776
