Interesting author
Michael Lewis is one of those authors who could sell his shopping lists because they'd be interesting and full of little snippets that make you think, "that's genius, I should do that".
Liars poker, on the other hand, is just a story about how wall street businessmen are jerks. In anyone else's hands, soporific, in his, actually holds up. Somehow an engaging and interesting book.

Inspiring!
The Read-Aloud Revival podcast does a fabulous job of bringing a family culture of reading into your home. The host is always bright and cheerful, and I always feel inspired and ready to have some fun and engaging family time afterwards. Plus, I always have a new list of books to try out with my kids by the end. Guests include reading experts and various authors.

Good story, funny in parts, pretty engaging, liked the irreverence, for the most part. (0 more)
A little too masculine/bad american stereotype for me. (0 more)
May have been oversold to me
It was good overall, and had some funny parts, just not my cup of tea.

Engagement (which is good) led me to stress a bit- but I find the idea of being in space really unappealing to begin with...

This book is based upon a script from the Clone Wars TV show, which ended a little abruptly when Disney took over Lucasfilm. Since Clone Wars is part of the new canon, this book is new canon.
I really liked getting to know more about Ventress. The story was engaging, and I read it in a few days. Though, I do wish this was a few episodes of Clone Wars.

Collecting 4 parts of a series together in one publication, this narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the new species have evolved and survived. The story follows Ana as the hunter-gatherer for her community and using AI guns follows an action-adventure format. A well illustrated and engaging graphic novel it is not always easy to follow, but then life isn't always straight forwards either.

I guess advertising does work; I saw several commercials on Hulu with Ryan Reynolds playing this game. That was months ago, and I finally downloaded this the other day when I got bored with Candy Crush.
This game is at least a little mentally engaging. It's a standard matching game, and it does get more complicated pretty quickly.
Overall, it's a good mobile game to play at work while on teleconferences.
