Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire5176 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Large Print Distribution, 2003

Goblet Gives Gryffindor Gang Great Gobs of Guesswork, Goosebumps
Ms. Rowling apparently had a lot to say in this next installment of the series. Coming in at nearly twice the length of the previous story, the bulkiness does not detract from the good, solid storytelling. The author seamlessly brings new readers up to date in the life of Harry Potter by interjecting, throughout the book, facts from the previous three books. However, you will not truly appreciate ... 		  
  







  
  
Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy77 reviews
Mary Stewart

Eos, 1980

The Arthurian Legend - from Merlin's perspective
Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy is one of my all time favorite series of books. I read them first when I was about 13 years old and have re-read them frequently since then. What I like is that Ms Stewart's focus is on good story telling. These are the characters of the Arthur legend but she presents them as real people with likes, dislikes, strengths and flaws. And unlike other Arthurian books ... 		  
  







  
  
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul (Chicken Soup for the Soul)90 reviews
Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ...

HCI, 1998

Warm and fuzzy
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...

Anniversary Ed
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, but I must say I did delay ordering this book. I just didnt think a new cover and a few extras was worth the price. Now, having seen the pictures put up by others, I am so glad I did order it! I think the new cover looks gorgeous and cant wait for Amazon to ship my order! (I am in NZ and so have selected for all my books to arrive in 1 shipment to save on postage. ... 		  
  







  
  
Debt-Proof Living: The Complete Guide to Living Financially Free132 reviews
Mary Hunt

DPL Press, Inc, 2000

Easy to read, easy to follow, easy to succeed
This is a great book. I found it very easy to read. Mary speaks from personal experience and it's like have a close friend right there with you in the trenches. We've begun to implement her plan and I can already see a difference in our monthly expenses. It's not an instant fix, but then we didn't get in this financial hole in a day either. Steady progress without any steps backwards, that's ... 		  
  







  
  
The Far Pavilions83 reviews
Mary Margaret Kaye

Penguin, 1980

This definitely stands the test of time
I've found that often books I thought were fantastic when I was young have not stood the test of time when reread later. However, even though I've read and reread this book countless times over the years, each time it comes up trumps. Set against a backdrop of India from the mutiny to the second Afghan War, this is a huge saga of the British Raj under Queen Victoria. It follows the lives of ... 		  
  







  
  
More-With-Less Cookbook : Suggestions By Mennonites on How to Eat Better and Consume Less of the World's ...93 reviews
Doris Janzen Longacre

Herald Press, 1976

Wore my first copy out....!
This amazing cookbook has been a staple in our home since the mid-70's when cooking with whole grains and offering meatless dishes for dinner was weird. The Mennonites have long focused on healthy foods and joyful preparations that are kind to your food budget and consume less of the world's limited food resources. I wore out my first copy and am delighted to be able to still buy this wonderful ... 		  
  







  
  
Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story157 reviews
Mary Downing Hahn

Sandpiper, 2008

Sharing this book with the next generation!
I loved this book when I was a pre-teen. I now have an 11 year son who has read and loves this book, and now we are reading all of her books. Obviously, these are geared toward kids, but I have to say that I am enjoying the books as well. The plus of course, is that we're reading, we're doing something together, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Mary Downing Hahn is a well-crafted ... 		  
  







  
  
Standing in the Light: The Captive Diary of Catharine Carey Logan (Dear America)104 reviews
Mary Pope Osborne

Scholastic Inc., 1998

A beautiful book with a gripping narrative!
I love reading books in diary form and the "Dear America" series of books for younger readers are not only beautifully bound, but each individual story is truly engaging, transporting readers into a bygone era with its entailing adventures. The heroines are typically young girls who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances - and having to display immense courage in trying times. ... 		  
  







  
  
Trixie Belden and the Secret of the Mansion52 reviews
Julie Campbell

Whitman Pub. Co, 1948

The Secret of the Mansion
This was my first time reading a Trixie Belden book and I enjoyed it immensely! In this book, Trixie meets a new friend, Honey, who moves in next door. While exploring an old mansion with Honey, they discover a runaway boy. He has runaway from his stepfather, who treats him cruelly. These stories are cliffhangers! I love them and advise you to read them all, as I plan to do.

i read this over and over again.
this book never gets old. i've had it for so long and now i'm off to college and i still enjoy reading it cover to cover. anne is a great character, one who is easy to love and who explains herself well. the other characters are also quirky. something about this book is very universal, which i think explains why even in this century i still find myself being able to relate to Anne. the plot, ... 		  
  







  
  
Feng Shui Your Life57 reviews
Jayme Barrett

Sterling, 2003

Perfect!
I bought this book, simply as a novice looking to better enjoy a less than enjoyable rental home. I also bought 3 other books on the subject, which in retrospect was overkill. Of all the books I read on the subject, this book was the clearest, had the most logical approach, and managed to stay away from overly spiritual rituals. It is a excellent source for straight forward feng shui. The ...

The Family Nobody Wanted55 reviews
Helen Doss

Northeastern, 2001

Wonderful, funny and warm
I read this book in my teens and LOVED it then. I thought of it often in the years that followed. This book can renew your love for the whole human race. It is heart-warming in the best sense of the word. The conversational tone makes it a quick read, but you will want to read it again and again. It tells the true story of a couple who are unable to conceive and set about to adopt children. ...

This book contains a great assortment of patterns. I'm working on my first pattern and have my eye on several others to make. I like the way these patterns are written. The detailed information given is very helpful. Love the words of encouragement! They were a nice surprise. 		  
  







  
  
Memories of a Cuban Kitchen50 reviews
Mary Urrutia Randelman, Joan Schwartz

MACMILLAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1992

Greatest CUBAN HOME COOKING book ever!
After sitting in the bookstore, going over about 10-20 so called Cuban recipe cookbooks, this is the ONE in my kitchen. Both my parents are from Cuba, I was born there as well, so naturally my siblings and I grew up on traditional Cuban recipes. This book is the closest to Mom's cooking I have ever found, and with some help from Mom, these recipes are just like being home. Easy to follow, ...
