Random House Audiobooks, 1995

This Book Captured My Heart
In less than one hundred pages, Helene Hanff has given her readers a rare and special gift. Here in this delightful little book are the notes she exchanged with the employees of Marks & Co., a used-book store in England. Being fond of the old-fashioned yet still highly personal act of letter writing, and being equally fond of old books and used-book stores, Hanff seemed to have compiled these ...

Stomp your feet!!!
What a treat to buy this for a friend's baby. My youngest child LOVED this book because as others have pointed out, it is fantastic! Just reading the words results in a great rhyme and makes you dance. You can't help it. Babies love it, toddlers love it, and parents love to read it, even the 4,999th time. It makes everyone smile. We wore the cover off and had to buy multiple copies. What a great ...

Big Red Barn (Board Book and Audio Cassette)

Utopia
This is one of my favorite books to read to my son. The prose is beautiful, concise, and profound. It's a very subtle book and takes some quiet time to truly appreciate it. The Big Red Barn is a picture of utopia; animals coexisting in peace, playing throughout the day, and then resting at night.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul: Stories About Pets as Teachers, Healers, Heroes and Friends

90 reviews, ...

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 ...

Harper, 1998

Simply Fantastic.
Man, so glad I got this book. I pondered buying it for a few weeks as it sat in my cart and then I couldn't ignore the reviews any longer. I bought and am so glad I did. It's a page turner. Thought I wouldn't like the format being diary entries and all but found it just as engaging if not more than any book I've ever enjoyed. This book made me laugh and cry and want to know more every step of the ...

Simply Outstanding
Beautiful writing. Simply one of the best books by a living author that I've read. If you have interest in great writing, baseball, or Christianity, you'll enjoy the book. If you're a fan of all three, it'll be one of your favorites.

My Family and Other Animals: 4 (Classic, Nature, Penguin)

Gerald Durrell

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000

I wish I could give it 6 stars!
This book is absolutely, brilliantly funny. The wit and unique characterizations are woven with great descriptions of the animals and plants of Corfu. That Durrell can hold the attention of readers who have no interest in biology simply demonstrates what a fine work this is. Gerald's depiction of a larger-than-life expatriate family on a larger-than-life Greek island is a tremendous celebration ...

Doreen Cronin

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2000

A Fantastic Book
Your political leanings, notwithstanding, Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin, is a wonderful book that will have children and adults laughing out loud. Farmer Brown is angered when he learns that not only does he own literate cows, but that they can type, and type they do with a daily list of demands to make their life more comfortable. Soon the cows are joined in their endeavor by ...

C'mon, let's take a look!
5 stars for this magnificent family book! Why? I have to very inquisitive daughters who ask many questions. Of course many relate to the natural world, more specifically insects and animals. When the inevitable questions come I say "C'mon let's check the book". We check this book often and have spent hours going through the pictures. What greater way to spend time with your kids,than learning ...

Richard ain't no punk!
I don't know why it took so long for me to write a review for this book since I read it for the first time about a year ago. It's still fresh in my mind that I had a heart for Richard and his relationship with Nina. It is refreshing to read a "grown-up" novel. Not a novel where the chick (immature & materialistic) is a girlfriend (or if you are Nikki Turner...play wife)of a hustla/drug ...

Get Out While You Can.
I have used Vaknins website and book to give me some ideas, and hope, for the situation I am in. I am setting firm boundaries and consequences. I hope through the book I can learn to get more of my life back. All I can say to others is, "If you can get out, run as fast as you can, cause if you don't get out they will destroy you". I know a couple other women in town who have been in long term ...

Knopf, 1984

A great description of historical architecture styles
After some introductory chapters on the history and theory of homebuilding, the McAlesters commence with descriptions of the different styles. Each major style is described with a large stylized diagram with its identifying features labeled, a description of the major subtypes, descriptions of the style's unique elements, a paragraph on the frequency and locations of its occurrence, some ...

Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista

Matthew Bracken

Steelcutter Publishing, 2006

Taking On the Quislings
Whoooee!! What a bodacious book. Writers of fiction, who write didactically (which Matthew Bracken does in spades), can change the paradigms of history in a big way. And god knows, we need to change the political paradigm of America in a major way. If this novel is read widely, it could be just such a paradigm shifting vehicle. It is a powerful story with very endearing characters, ...

Coping With Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet
My best friend died 1.5 years ago and I still miss her terribly - she was my 15 year old cat. This book was very useful to me during my time of intense mourning. While I know that her loss was a significant and horrible event in my life, recognition of the death of animal companions is not common in our society. This book helped me to see that I was not alone in my grief and that it was okay ...

Stephen Baskerville

Cumberland House Publishing, 2007

The BEST Book Yet on the Full, BIG Picture
Awesome and factually backed up. Have you ever read a book that you just can't put down? Well, this book is beyond that. Everyone I talk to that has read it or is reading it just has to put it down, very often, due to the shocking thought provoking nature of presenting the truth in the most believable way. Great job, Dr. Baskerville! Dr. Baskerville sees that the real root of the war on ...

Color Me Butterfly: A True Story of Courage, Hope and Transformation

L. Y. Marlow

El Publishing, 2007

Color Me Butterfly
Color Me Butterfly is truly a soul stirring book. There were times when reading this book that I flinched. I believe the author told her story in a remarkable way and that it is a testament to both the strengths and weaknesses of women who find themselves in the midst of domestic abuse. The generations went through such violence and immeasurable pain--- yet still "they rise"!! Although painful, ...

The Apron Book: Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort

When the student is ready
I had to make an apron in Home Ec class many (many) years ago. I didn't enjoy it at all. I didn't care for the fabric, didn't really get the hang of using a sewing machine, just felt it was a waste of time. Nobody in my family wore an apron, anyway, somehow they miraclously stayed clean during food prep. Flash forward a few decades. I like to cook and bake and I did not inherit the miracle of ...
