Iyengar is a dedicated yogi and his book delineates the subtleties of hundreds of different asanas, from the beginners postures to the ludicrously difficult advanced postures. If you attend yoga class than this book will be an in-depth aide; if you are a curious wannabe yogi than Iyengar's description of the asanas will be invaluable assets to the establishment of your routine.

Dulce Sin Leche! Mucho Margarita! These are some of the delicious cupcake recipes in this must-have cookbook for anyone with a sweet tooth--whether you steer away from dairy on a regular basis, or you are just up to try something new. My personal favorite is the simple vanilla and agave nectar cupcake with not-too-sweet blueberry mousse (it's processed sugar free!).
Eugenides orchestrates this beautiful collection of love stories with precision, including selections from a wide range of authors, both well and lesser know. As the title of the volume suggests, he uses the range of Catullus' love poems as an inspiration, guiding the reader between sweet and somber. All proceeds go to fund the free youth writing programs offered by 826 Chicago. Reviewed by: Jennifer R.
Not for the faint of heart, and composed of interviews from friends, family and shocked onlookers, the oral biography of Bust "Rant" Casey is a tale of a world split in two where crashing your car is the newest form of entertainment, and a gateway into another mental state. This twisted, dark and utterly human world could only be composed by the inimitable Chuck Palahniuk. Reviewed by: Ashanti
Given that spelling is the bane of my existence, I wasn't expecting to like this narrative history of English spelling, but it is a fantastic, engrossing, and often times hilarious book. Wolman goes over everything from the American disregard for the letter h, to how spelling has been used in connection to concepts of class, education, freedom, politics, nationality, and even ones value.
