Dewey-the small town cat as if I’m not mistaken this book is based on a cat that used to live at the library in a town where I used to live.

All of them sound wonderful, I think I would choose the Dewey the Library Cat

Dewey ,the small town cat would be my first choice.

They all look good, but I am fascinated by all things Titanic.

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. Ever since the Harry Potter books, I’ve discovered that a lot of the books for youth are better than what I’ve been reading

The Self-Esteem Trap… This has always puzzled me, how some children are very self assured and can’t wait to go out and make their mark on the world. While other are in the trap of self gratification and entitlement.

Thanks for the last book - I’ll look forward to receiving it.

For a Titanic fan like me, it has to be the Secrets of Titanic as my fav - although that;s only my comment as i have already won a book.

Titanic’s Last Secrets looks like a great read.

I would really enjoy reading the Ethics 101 book. It seems to me that ethical standards in this country seem to be getting lower and lower, and I would be interested to see if the author has any real solutions to the problem.

The book about the library cat looks cute

wow

Lots of good informative & interesting books! Id love to read them!

Dewey the Library Cat looks like something I’d read. Thanks for the contest.

I’d love to read “The Self-Esteem Trap: Raising Confident and Compassionate Kids in an Age of Self-Importance” because I’m a parenting author and blogger, and this sounds like a great book to review on my blog. I’m also attracted to the part about raising compassionate kids — the world can always benefit from more compassion!

We’ve been having a really bad health streak, so The Book of Calamities: Five Questions About Suffering and Its Meaning by Peter Trachtenberg

I love Jane Austen so much that one of my twin sons’ names is Austen. (And, yes, it’s spelled with an “e”!) “Pride and Prejudice” is my absolute favorite. And Colin Firth in the movie version . . . yum!

I’d love to read them all. But what interests me most is Knowing Right From Wrong. I’m addicted to Christian self-help books!

After reading the descriptions for the books, Say You’re One of Them would probably be the first book I’d read out of the group. And then probably Roads to Quoz.

Titanic’s last Secrets sounds very intriguing!

i would love them all but the The Book of Calamities catches my eye
