"I loved this book. It had so many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out several times - but was wrong! I tried to put it down several times but couldn't leave it very long.
I highly recommend this book. You'll enjoy it."

"Beautiful illustrations by artist Vicky Howard. She has submitted portrayls of Saint Nicholas from her own personal collection of rare antique Christmas postcards and books. Beautiful images and a beautiful book for the Christmas Season!"

"This book is a real page turner. An EMP burst is a realistic way to cripple a modern digital country and this book will take you through all the post EMP challenges that might occur. The plot line revolves around a sleepy North Carolina town being taken back to pre-industrial methods of survival. Highly recommended."

"A cute book with lots of pictures that cover a range of styles. The only thing I hadn't noted about it before I ordered it is that it is tiny, maybe 5" by 4". Still, a useful book to get ideas!"

"A wonderfully moving story about how our mistaken impressions can alienate us from the ones who truly love us most. 3 sisters dealing with the hurt & estranged feelings over their 'aloof' mother are brought together in their mother's final days & learn that not only do feelings run deep but life's reasonings sometimes run deeper.
Keep the tissue box handy because the connection you'll feel with these gals will bring your own childhood feelings to the surface."

"The Uplift War and Startide Rising take place simultaneously but at different locations in the galaxy and so should be read back-to-back or even at the same time alternating the internal chronology from one book to the next (I've done both). This pair of novels ranks as some of the greatest modern science fiction ever written. The characters are placed in impossible situations, massive space battles, a melange of cultures and alien races, centered around a mystery wrapped in an enigma and accompanied by some of the corniest yet most hilarious puns and double entendres to be found. Would you like to engage in a gorilla war in the jungle anyone?"

"One of his best works to date, a tour de force look at the world first introduced in Snow Crash with a leap one hundred years ahead. With humanity's basic needs of food, water, and shelter all taken care of by the near miraculous manipulated world made possible by nanotechnology, Stephenson shows us a world were the concepts of culture, morality, and family are even more important and evolving (and devolving)than ever. Thomas Friedman is wrong, not only isn't the world flat, it's as hard as diamond. In such a world, heroes and heroines come from the most unlikely places."

"This one started out a little slow for my tastes and the author's writing style seemed to have regressed to something similar to previous books in the series where it feels like all you're reading is a lot of pointless drama. But, about a third of the way through it picked up the pace quite nicely and I had a hard time putting the book down even though it wasn't hard to figure out who the Wild Power in the story was. Overall, it was a good read and I'm looking forward to the next one in the series."

"I liked this book, it was fantastic for not only teaching children about different kinds of trees and their leaves but getting them outdoors and enjoying nature. Definately a hands on learning set.
There is a Leaf and tree guide that tells everything about trees, how to collect leaves and dried fruits berries and seeds, maps about where different trees are in the U.S. It also has many projects to make with their finds. A few are leaf crowns, bark rubbings, collages, leaf cards and bookmarks and more. Also how to press and preserve leaves for you collection.
I like the books because of how much information it covered simply and in an interesting way.
There is also a leaf collecting album with one sided pages with the shapes of the leaves printed on the page to make identifying and placing easy. and a place to put the type of tree, where it was found and the date. This is held together with brads so you can take the pages out and work on them.
A very nice set of books and something more for you to get a child involved in something other than tv and computer games. Great for homeschoolers or anyone that wants to spend quality time with their children. A plus from me!"

"Heartwrenching and hopeful; it was a tough read and quite thought-provoking. It had a positive outcome but it didn't come easy!"
"This is a very good book. I thought Destiny's story was cute and I love the chemistry between her and Morgan. A fun, flirty, and steamy read. "

"While the secondary story development had merit, I found the original intent of assisting the daughters of Pol quickly lost and never regained within the story in a related manner. The plot would have been stronger and probably more interesting if this had been pursued. The main character, Ellie, was pretty much left without any real understanding of her gifts or how to use them. It was like Melissa introduced one story line and then got lost in another with a ring of the Mairi story line reinvented. After reading reviews I expected something more and was disappointed. Perhaps her other books are better."

"The story line is good, but there were some things I did not like about this book. The author looses track of time and a girl ages 3 years in just 1 and a 1/2 years. Details like that bug me in a book. The family are supposed to be strong Christians, but they read fiction each night before bed, not their Bible, Christian fiction, but still fiction. Its not until half way through the book that church is ever mentioned. The main character is made out to be someone who doesn't witness to others about his faith, unless pushed to by his sweet daughters example. They don't pray together as a family, unless there is tragedy. It is discouraging to read about "Christian" people who have strong faith, but the author doesn't make it clear in what and how they got it or maintain it. Too many inconsistancies for me.

"The storyline is basically Twilight taking place in Austin, TX. The story is cliche, boring. Poor writing and I couldn't get into the story at all. However, if your're a Texas native, or an Austinite like me, the familer setting is cool."

"This is a sweet emotional story about a couple of lonely orphans that find love in their hearts and they created a true family for themselves. I highly enjoyed this debut story and look forward to more from this author."

"I really hoped to enjoy this book more than I actually did. I didn't really have any expectations of the book, so fortunately it didn't have to meet anything. I like plot and storylines, this isn't it. I know this is a memoir, but I have liked some memoirs, so I can't blame it on that.
I can go on some more, but I already spent too much time just trying to finish the book, I'm not going to spend more on here. "

"I guess I am just not finding the ongoing stories of Rina & Peter to be very interesting anymore, or maybe Faye is just not keeping up with engaging topics and twists in her writing. I used to love the decker/lazarus book series but maybe its time to retire these characters and find some new ones. "
