National Audubon Society ID books

There are many books by the National Audubon Society, most of which are identification books for anything and everything.

I have read, and own, at least a dozen books by the N.A.S. and all the books that I've read are very good at doing what they are intended for, identification. They do not have a ton of information about the items in mention, but they help you look up a plant, animal, rock, shell etc. and then know what you have and can start your search to learn more.

Many of the N.A.S. books look like this.  A book that can fit in a large pocket, or in a backpack easily, and has a leather (or faux leather) cover. They always have color images with real pictures not drawing.  I used to use them for animal identification when I was in high school. 

I'd highly recommend these books to anyone who is interested in learning about animals, or being able to know what the animals are.

Good Day and Good Reading. 

Vlademir Tod Chronicles

The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, written by Heather Brewer.

I started reading this series after I bought one from the school's book fair. I was hooked after the very first. Since then, I've read each of them, and I would rather not give any "spoilers". 

If you like vampire books, but don't want excessive romance or violence it is a good series. I liked the way the plot developed and how the characters changed. 

Here is the description of the first book

"Vlad has to keep his vampire urges under control while dealing with the pressures of middle school. Thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod really hates junior high. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: His mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers, Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: He’s being hunted by a vampire killer."    The description comes from Amazon.

If you like the first one I promise the next ones will not disappoint. 

Good Day and Good Reading.
