Charles De Lint
Subterranean Press, 2003
A glimps at the evolution of a writer
The new book by Charles De Lint, Triskell Tales, is a facinating look at the writings of one author over the course of 22 years. Every year Charles De Lint creates a small chapbook as a Christmas gift for family and close friends. Each chapbook holds a story or two, drawings (many by the author's wife, Mary Ann Harris), and / or poems. Triskell Tales represents 22 years of those chapbooks plus ...

My 50 Years in Hollywood: The Story of a 22-Year-Old5 reviews
Rachel Reiss
Xlibris Corporation, 2004
The Most Refreshing Take on the Subject in Years
I expected My 50 Years in Hollywood to be yet another book about Hollywood but it ended up being one of the most refreshing take on the subject I have read in years. I am naturally drawn to books about LA because I live here, but I recommend this book to anyone, no matter where they live. The story is told through the eyes of 22 year old industry fledgling, Rachel Reiss. Her mentor, Al ...

Nice introduction
With authentic illustrations, this book is an excellent introduction to frogs and wetland habitats. It lends itself well to primary classroom studies about the food web and ecosystems.

Can't Keep Silent: A Woman's 22-Year Journey of Post-Abortion Healing5 reviews
Lydia A. Clarke
Tate Publishing & Enterprises, 2006
Heart-wrenching
This book gave me a lot of insight into my own life EVEN THOUGH I AM CHILDLESS BY CHOICE.
I am so glad I read this book, and I hope this book will encourage others to share their life experiences regarding abortion. I also hope the book will encourage people to NOT keep silent regarding abortion or other important issues in their lives. Don't keep issues bottled up--talk about them!

I Walked to the Moon and Almost Everybody Waved: Remarkable Stories from "the Waver'S" 22-Year Journey for ...3 reviews
Ed Carlson, Claire Gerus
Stillpoint Pub, 1996
Life Changing
It saddens me to see that the greatest teacher I have known in my life is so little known. We hear so often of the pristine enlightened masters who attained enlightenment through years of tortuous discipline and virtue, but we don't hear too often of the masters who still partake in "earthly pleasures". The heros that truly follow their hearts, even if it leads them down unorthodox paths, ...

Fifty years on the trail,: A true story of western life. The adventures of John Young Nelson as described to ... 2 reviews
John Young Nelson
University of Oklahoma Press, 1969
Hugely entertaining
It's hard to determine whether praise for the liveliness and compelling nature of this memoir should be credited to John Nelson himself or the editor (Harrington O'Reilly) to whom he dictated his life story and who was left with the task of putting Nelson's disjointed narrative into acceptable order. "Disjointed dates, disjointed sequences of events, incoherency [and] prolonged sittings" were ...

Oozey Octopus
I have purchased quite a few of Suzanne Tate's nature books for my grandson, now 3 yrs. old. He truly enjoys each of them and remembers the facts too. We read them over and over.

Adorable Crochet for Babies and Toddlers: 22 Projects to Make for Babies from Birth to Two Years 14 reviews
Lesley Stanfield
Collins & Brown, 2005
Adorable Crochet for babies and toddlers
What I love most about this book is the contemporary styles so beautifully photographed, I have searched on line for a long time and all I could find were the "granny" style projects that young mothers would consider tacky. These projects are practical and trendy and inspire me to do do them. The book has a glossary that defines the terms that I didn't understand since the terminology is a bit ...

The Year's Best Horror 22 (Year's Best Horror Stories)1 review
DAW, 1994
A really good collection of scary stories
Wagner has compiled another really good collection of some really good stories. There are plenty here that I considered to slowly sneak up and scare me. Then to top it off, Wagner, while providing a biography for each author, comes up with a theory involving cats and coffee that is as fun to read. I found myself looking forward to the biographies as much as I was looking forward to the stories. ...

365: AIGA Year in Design 221 review
AIGA
AIGA, 2002
Get out your magnifying glass
Annual awards recipients' biographical material as always appetizing and interesting. However, the following sections depicting current work focus on first-person design-incantations rather than the work. Due to smaller format (reduced dimensions) it's difficult to see the work examples and all nuance is for the most part completely lost. A surprising amount of lengthy unilluminating explanatory ...

Journey to the Polar Sea
This book was a very interesting true story of several British naval officers and their guides who travelled from Hudson Bay into the interior of Canada and up the Coppermine River to the northern coast of the North America. This expedition took several years. As their journey progressed so did the sufferings they endured. Several members of the group died of starvation and other causes. One was ...

The Real T: My 22 Years with Tina Turner 9 reviews
Eddy Hampton Armani
John Blake, 1998
fun, fun , fun
Fun to read even though many things are probably exagerated. But it's a good read for fans to realise that Tina Turner is just a human being as all of us with her flaws and with her merits and not the saint she is always portraied at in the Media.

Planetwalker
This was a Library Thing Early Reviewers book, and although it took me a while to get into it, I liked it and recommend it. When I first started it, there was a lot else going on in my life and I could not connect with it. I put it down and picked it up again on vacation and really enjoyed it. John Francis has a minimalist writing style and I found myself looking for more about him and his ...
