.Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage & IVF Failure - Explained and Treated

by: Alan E. Beer, Julia Kantecki, Jane Reed

October 28, 2006
WOW! Dr. Beer is way ahead of his time and I throughly enjoyed reading his book and understand more about the world of miscarriage and infertility! The only down fall of this book is the medical terminology that most may not understand. Some parts were over my head...but Dr. Beer's theories make complete sense in how the author explains them.

.The House on First Street: My New Orleans Story

by: Julia Reed

June 24, 2008
I admit it, this book made me green with envy. Like the author and many others, I've always been drawn to New Orleans and have dreamed of living there for years. At the same time this book will make you blue at the damage done by hurricane Katrina to this lovely, complicated city and sadly, blue over the future of our beloved New Orleans. The author definiely entertains with her story of how she ended up in New Orleans. I loved reading about so many familiar places and characters and also could relate to her home remodeling nightmare. What is humorous in hindsight, can be awful to experience, and remodeling in New Orleans is doubly difficult. Kudos to her loyalty to the city, her spirit and her hope for a better future. I hope we read more from ... Read More:

.Ham Biscuits, Hostess Gowns, and Other Southern Specialties: An Entertaining Life (with Recipes)

by: Julia Reed

July 08, 2008
This is a really gorgeous book. Julia has written a beautiful food memoir filled with delightful anecdotes about her family and the things they liked to cook and eat. Anyone who loves food and cooking will adore it. You'll probably want to be her friend too because she is surrounded by funny and generous cooks! I'm in Australia and a lot of the Southern food is very removed from what I'd cook or eat (all that gelatine!!) but it's fab all the same.

.Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena

by: Julia Reed

April 12, 2005
For those of us who are fascinated by the women of the South and the unique lives they lead, Julia Reed's Queen of the Turtle Derby is the ideal book. A senior writer at Vogue and a contributing editor at Newsweek, Reed grew up in Greenville, Mississippi, and still spends half her year in New Orleans. She knows the South, its women and its men, as well as I know the back of my hand. And she isn't shy about telling it like it is.

I laughed on almost every page. At times, I thought I was reading about a foreign country. The manners and mores of the characters are so different than my own. Yet at times, I could imagine myself living there because I love the friendship of women. The women Reed writes about are utterly loyal and devoted to ... Read More:
