First Among Abbots: The Career of Abbo of Fleury
Elizabeth Dachowski

Catholic University of America Press, 2008

Abbo of Fleury was a prominent churchman of late tenth-century France--abbot of a major monastery, leader in the revival of learning in France and England, and the subject of a serious work of hagiography. Elizabeth Dachowski's study presents a coherent picture of this multifaceted man with an emphasis on his political alliances and the political considerations that colored his earliest biographical treatment. Unlike previous ... 		  
  







  
  
The Bingo Palace7 reviews
Louise Erdrich

Harper Perennial, 1995

Literary Masterpiece
This being one of Louise Erdrich's earlier works, it forms the basis and framework for the wonderful works that follow. This purchase was a gift, as it is one of my very favorite books by any writer, nevermind by Louise Erdrich, and I have an older edition permanently placed in my front bookcase (for ease or re-reads). Please, read this great book and then what follows along with the connected ...

I WAS SKEPTICAL IN ORDERING THIS COPY BECAUSE IT'S AN OLDER BOOK, BUT; THIS BOOK WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, NO DOG EAR MARKS, TORN PAGES OR YELLOWING OF PAGES. ALTHOUGH, I HAVE YET TO READ IT, I HAVE READ PIERCING THE DARKNESS, WHICH WAS VERY GOOD.

Scholastic, 1996

Excellent at first, but after a while I get bored with reading it. The best bit is all the spells you can use. 		  
  







  
  
A Year of Cats...in Hats: Crafts to Make You Smile2 reviews
Sheila Haynes Rauen

Martingale and Company, 2004

Feline-iciously Charming!
Sheila has done it again! This time she has designed a yearful of cats, each with earsful of seasonal cheer. Uh, I'd better explain. Sheila has designed twelve cats, one for each month, each having month-appropriate hats on his ears. For example: April's cat has umbrellas in her ears and is named "Don't Rain on My Purrade" and June's kitty is entitled "Will Mew Marry Me?" with a top hat on one ... 		  
  







  
  
Hank & Chloe14 reviews
Jo-ann Mapson

Harper Perennial, 1994

This Story Will Get Under Your Skin and Into Your Heart
What a wonderful discovery - Jo-An Mapson's writing reminds me of Richard Russo - strong, earthy and sharp dialogue, the intermeshing of otherwise ordinary lives and a story that is hard to put out of your mind once you start down the pathway of life with Hank and Chloe. My wife read this book first and as she and I often do with our respective reading pieces, she said as she closed the cover, "I ...

The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life557 reviews
Bruce H. Wilkinson

Multnomah Publishers, 2000

The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking through to a blessed life
This book is great no matter what condition it is in. Next to the Bible and The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, it is one of the best books I've ever read and I buy it for people who are looking for dramatic changes in their life. This is one of the books that will do just that. I recommend the Bible study that is a companion to this book. Just be careful who you buy it from if you're ... 		  
  







  
  
Small Miracles Of Love & Friendship: Remarkable Coincidences of Warmth and Devotion12 reviews
Yitta Halberstam, Judith Leventhal

Adams Media, 2002

I adore the entire series of Small Miracles
I love the Small Miracles Books. I keep buying and rebuying this book because I am constantly giving my copy away as a gift and therefore need to replace it. This book is especially meaningful to me because I was reading it at a time that I was giving up on miracles and optimism. However, this book has been uplifting. I know can realize that small miracles exsist in everyday life and there is ...

What Was Good About Today8 reviews
Carol Kruckeberg

Dell Pub Co, 1986

Re-read after so many years!
I was in Sara's class in Helen Haller, I think 1st grade. Both my mother and I had her father as a high school teacher. I was given a copy of this book many years ago, possibly from the Kruckebergs when I graduated from high school. I re-read it after many years, and again it moved me to the core. I have children of my own now, and a beautiful little girl in 1st grade now. When life with ... 		  
  







  
  
The Millionaires146 reviews
Brad Meltzer

Warner Books, 2002

My Heroes, Charlie and Oliver!!
I finished listening to Millionaires and it was a great book. The story line was very realistic and enjoyable. The plot twists were surprising. I enjoyed watching the transformation of Charlie from a carefree anti-society guy to someone with a sense of responsibility. Oliver also underwent a transformation from society's cookie cutter gofer to a balanced guy that can enjoy life. I truly ...

El Autobus Magico en el Interior de la Tierra1 review
Joanna Cole, Jose Luis Cortes (Translator)

Scholastic en Espanol, 1993

This is a special favorite
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is right here so we particularly like this book. We were all able to learn new words in Spanish and to pick up some science about caves, etc. In Spanish you learn how a stalactite and a stalagmite are formed, you find out the Spanish words for the various rock types, and you learn about other aspects of science as well. It's really a great way to learn some ... 		  
  







  
  
The Harbor (MIRA)15 reviews
Carla Neggers

Mira, 2003

Goose Harbor
This is the first book I've read by Carla Neggers, and I'll want to read more if the rest are this good. I can find several faults with the novel, but somehow the gaffs fade because of the writer's sense of place, Goose Harbor, on the south coast of Maine. I was taken to this delightful lobstering town early on. Nothing much mattered after that; I just enjoyed the visit. The plot is OK, ... 		  
  







  
  
How to Get Pregnant18 reviews
Sherman J. Silber

Grand Central Publishing, 1980

Great Book For Anyone With Questions or Concerns!
This book is fabulous. If you are reading this book, then obviously you must have some questions in this area. You've come to the right place (or book rather!). Being a patient of Dr. Silber's I can say that reading this book is like having the doctor talk to you live. It is like having him talk to you face to face. Answers to all your questions are inside his book, and if you are reading it for ...
