Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

525 Essential Words for SSAT/ISEE

 525 Essential Words for SSAT/ISEE (Middle/Upper), J. Jonathan, Independently Published, 2021

Intended for students in grades 6-10, this book attempts to help with the vocabulary portion of the (Middle/Upper) part of the SSAT/ISEE test.

Split into groups of 10-12 words each, this book explores words from "abet" to "wreath." Each word includes phonetic pronunciation, a short definition, use of the word in a sentence, synonyms and antonyms of the word and further information about the word. There is a review exercise after each group, to consolidate the student's knowledge.

This book is not just for students preparing for the SSAT/ISEE test, though it is certainly recommended for them. It is also recommended for any student who just wants to improve their vocabulary.
