Having Twins: A Parent's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Early Childhood 43 reviews
Elizabeth Noble
Houghton Mifflin, 1991
Most Americans Still Don't Like the Truth
As a childbirth educator I have reviewed numerous books on birth and can only strongly recommend this book for my students/clients carrying multiples. While every other developed country in the world knows the benefits of hormone-free meats and animal products and evidence-based maternity care, we Americans still suffer under our unrestrained capitalistic model of care. Yes, the author, Eliz. ...

Through The Storm
After reading Indigo and learning about Raimond and his brothers, I was hoping to read more about them. I enjoyed reading about the budding romance and attraction between Sable and Raimond. I tell you Ms. Jenkins' really knows how to make a story come to life. She makes you feel like you're right there in the heat of all the action and the drama. She entertains as well as educates. I can't say ...

Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year: A Guide to Health and Comfort Before and After Your Baby Is ...16 reviews
Elizabeth Noble
New Life Images, 2003
Worth the time to read
After reading some of the negative reviews, I felt compelled to write my own. In my first pregnancy, I did find the book hard to follow in some places (and yes it could be organized better), and I did not use it. Now in my second preganacy, and in hindsight I greatly regret not taking the time to actually read it and use it. I have searched for other books, and have found some that seem better ...

Machine Quilting With Decorative Threads4 reviews
Maurine Noble, Elizabeth Hendricks
Martingale and Company, 1998
Great tutoria
This book is set up with lessons on using various threads on little quilt "sandwiches" with galleries of work spaced between them for further example and inspiration. It is the perfect way for one unable or unwilling to attend classes to gain an introductory knowledge of this technique. The lessons are very straight-forward and to the point, making this book a pleasure to just plow through. ...

Loving It!!!
I am more than half- way through this totally delightful, funny, yet poignant novel. I am shocked that women are confused by the characters. This is not difficult reading. It is light chic lit. I would think eighth graders could easlily keep track of the well drawn characters (though the content is not appropriate for that age group). If you are of average intelligence you should have NO ...

Childbirth With Insight1 review
Elizabeth Noble
Houghton Mifflin (P), 1983
A must-read for pregnant women
I liked this book so much I read it twice during my last pregnancy. The author discusses childbirth education-its problems and potential, the natural flow of labor and birth, and in general ways to prepare for a natural childbirth. One part I found especially helpful was the topic of breathing, and how it is detrimental to try and control your breathing and hold your breath during childbirth. ...

Use Me by Elissa Schappell
The book is very well written, with excellent, well observed descriptions of places, people and events. The first few stories were absorbing and they drew you into the book, but after a short time, the main character, Evie, became tiresome because of her complete self absorption. The death of a parent is always a traumatic event, but Evie's total disintegration in the face of her father's ...

Beverly Jenkins
I have read most of Beverly Jenkins books and it is getting harder to find the older books. This book was delivered in a few days and I enjoyed it just like all of her other books. I will continue ordering books from Amazon because they have books that you can not find in books stores. All of Beverly Jenkins characters seem so real and the romance is written as if you were there. Beverly ...

Polar Express it isn't!
This is a book for the people who no longer hear the ring of the bell -- but if you're in that category (or are just generally fatigued by holiday cheer), then this is for you. The 18 short stories very in quality but, overall, they reflect bright writing about sometimes depressing holiday happenings. Leave it in your bathroom at your holiday party and group your guests by their reactions as ...
