Old Black35 reviews

Beverly Publishing Co. Inc., 1997

An excellent book for youth and young adults
I was given this book by a friend and was surprised at the well-balanced combination of story, locale and apt descriptions of riding events. Buck Jones: a rodeo cowboy who becomes seriously ill and must get rid of his beloved horse. I liked Buck a lot, and so did his friends in the story. He raised Old Black from a colt and only became a rodeo star after Old Black came on the scene as his ...
  
  











  



  
Fables: 1,001 Nights of Snowfall (Fables)34 reviews
Bill Willingham, Brian Bolland, ...

Titan Books Ltd, 2006

Fabulous, simply fabulous
I definitely loved this book. It was a bit disappointing knowing that it wasn't Scheherazade telling these tales, I would rather have seen her do this, but the stories themselves were nonetheless fantastic, so for that, I give five stars.

Julie33 reviews
Jean Craighead George

HarperTrophy, 1996

Amazing Sequel!
This book is very amazing, it is just as good as it's original, 'Julie of the wolves'. I really loved reading this book, and I'm sure you'll love it too, if you love animals. Don't waste your time on another 'tundra imitation' book, get Julie of the wolves, Julie, and Julie's wolf pack now!
  
  











  



  
The New Doubleday Cookbook32 reviews
Jean Anderson

Broadway, 1990

The Singe Best All-Purpose Cookbook in Print
I bought my first copy of THE DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK when it was first published in the mid-70s. It's been the kitchen resource I turn to most for answering questions and for ideas about a recipe. I own many all-purpose cookbooks, including JOY OF COOKING, which I've always found difficult because of the way the recipes are layed out on the page. THE NEW DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK is more sophisticated, ...

So Very True to Life
A loyal follower of "Get Fuzzy" from Day 1, my life is not complete if I do not have my daily dose of "Get Fuzzy". As a matter of fact, my husband I fight over the newspaper to decide who gets to read the Fuzzy first. I can't go on without knowing what Bucky the Cat, Satchel the Dog, and Rob the Owner are doing today. Author Darby Conley has captured what cats and dogs do, say, and think. I ...

Julie's Wolf Pack49 reviews
Jean Craighead George

Scholastic Inc, 1997

Julie's Wolf Pack (Julie of the Wolves)
I really liked all three of the books in the Julie series. I liked all the information they had about life in the Arctic Circle, and found these stories very believable. I liked learning about why dogs/wolves behave the way that they do. I would recommend these books to anyone. Hunter 10

Deborah Guarino

A Favorite
This is one of my favorite books from childhood! I especially love the way it reads in a sing-song manner. I purchased it along with others for a baby shower to help the new mom start her child's library.
  
  











  



  
Why the Weight? Dare To Be Great!33 reviews
Jean Krueger

Light Works Pub, 2002

Why the Weight? Dare to be Great!
In this book, Jean Krueger talks about eating in response to "loss". She has had some profound losses in her life including the deaths of both parents and 3 brothers......but she expands the concept of "loss" to other areas as well. A second point is Krueger's philosophy that weight loss is not only about the pounds. It is about adding things into your life. When you are overweight, you have ...

Spoonbread & Strawberry Wine: Recipes and Reminiscences of a Family25 reviews
Norma Jean Darden, Carole Darden

Harlem Moon, 1994

A great first cookbook
My mother gave this cookbook to me when I was in college. She wanted me to learn how to cook. I was a bookworm who was more interested in history than cooking so I always resisted. She gave me the first edition of this cookbook a small paperback with the yellow cover and the same picture of the Darden sisters. Once I began reading this book I fell in love with the idea of learning to cook. ...
  
  











  



  
John Marshall: Definer of a Nation29 reviews
Jean Edward Smith

Holt Paperbacks, 1998

The title says it all............
.....though we can still debate whether he defined it correctly. John Marshall, fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was, and remains, one of the absolute giants of our history. Washington fought the battles, Jefferson and Madison composed the theories, but it remained for Marshall to elucidate what it all meant. This is, to my mind, the definitive biography of a titan. John Marshall was ...
  
  











  



  
Mistress of Mellyn28 reviews
Eleanor Hibbert, Victoria Holt, ...

Doubleday Books, 1980

Fantastic reading
Don't listen the O'Brien review above, this book is far from "campy" (a pretentious term pretentious people use to justify reading romance and popular novels)...yes, this book does owe a lot to Jane Eyre I suppose but the vivid characters, chilling suspense and romance make this a treat you won't forget. Miss Holt proves herself to be a writer of enduring power and imagination. Nothing "campy" ...

Delicious Nostalgia for American Cooks
This book is a treasury of true American cooking, with the recipes our mothers and grandmothers loved,and that make fond memories for us. Some are still favorites for family and entertaining (Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, Stroganoff Casserole), others beg to be rediscovered (Imagine!

We have the 'I Spy Extreme Challenger!', 'I Spy Super Challenger', 'I Spy School Days', 'I Spy Treasure Hunt' and the 'I Spy Mystery' book just to name a few of them.

Emotional Intelligence Quickbook25 reviews
Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves

TalentSmart, 2003

Helps with my diet
I bought the book to help with my diet because I've noticed that my emotions and what I do with them has a big effect upon when I eat and what I eat. Emotional intelligence was extremely helpful in understanding what to do with my feelings on the rough days, and is making the diet go much better. I thought the online emotional intelligence test that came with the book is neat.

The Momentum Effect: How to Ignite Exceptional Growth (Financial Times Series)24 reviews
Jean-Claude Larreche

Wharton School Publishing, 2008

Beyond the ordinary
With so much being written about 'delighting customers', the 'customer experience', 'customer satisfaction' and the like it is great to read a book that really goes beyond the ordinary, to really dig into how organisations can really leave their competitors behind. And it's none of this; engage customers differently or deliver compelling offers, this book really takes it to the next ...
