2010-05-24
List Price: $27.95Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil (read more)

Freedom: A Novel
2010-08-30
List Price: $27.99Amazon Best of the Month, August 2010: "The awful thing about life is this:" says Octave to the Marquis in Renoir's Rules of the Game. "Everyone has his reasons." That could be a motto for novelists as well, few more so than Jonathan Franzen, who seems less concerned with creating merely likeable characters than ones who are fully alive, in all their self-justifying complexity. Freedom is his fourth novel, and, yes, his first in nine years since The Correct(read more)

So Is It a Good Idea to Give Gift Cards Now? - It's Your Money ...
2010-09-09
When you want to give someone $20 to spend, you'd have to take $25 out of your wallet if you're going the general-purpose gift card route.

Disneyshopping or call them, but we planned on buying matching Disneyland t-shirts for our trip there anyway so I guess it's not that big of a deal. The $25 won't go towards our vacation, but it's still cash I didn't have to spend out of pocket! So I guess still a win...win. ...
