Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra246 reviews
Mabel Iam
Atria, 2005
I'd give it six stars if I could.
M. Iam seriously addresses intimacy issues and provides a step-by-step deep relationship-nourishing format that begins with the art of exploring the pleasures of the Kama sutra from the vantage point of the couple's balanced physical, mental and emotional energy. In addition to initiating and maintaining the purely sensual aspects of love-making.
Everyone should read this book. I have read a ...

Elder Rage or, Take My Father... Please! How To Survive Caring For Aging Parents275 reviews
Jacqueline Marcell
Impressive Pr, 2000
Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information.
I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ...

Martin the Warrior: A Tale from Redwall (Redwall (Firebird Paperback))261 reviews
Brian Jacques
Puffin, 2004
If you like talking animals in your books, don't miss the Redwall series.
I am reading all of the Redwall books in the chronological order, not the order he wrote them in. Martin the Warrior is therefore 2nd. I'd already read Redwall and Mossflower and they remain among my favorites of this series, but Martin the Warrior is just as good. His characters are well-developed, just keep in mind that the intended audience is children. I love the way he creates different ...

Michael J. Fox

A thought-provoking intimate account
I was amazed at what an excellent writer Michael J. Fox is -- his story was candidly written with insightful accounts of his incredible journey. I was also impressed that the proceeds from the book all go to research for a cure for Parkinson's disease. Way to go, Michael!

Toni Weschler
Collins Living, 2006
Excellent resource of information
I have already talked about this book to friends and they have quickly purchased this book. It is extremely educational. I come from a health background taking A&P and learning an extensive amount of info but none to this extent on the subject. It is good if you are a teen to the peak of menopause. It really is a good read. My sister has been having trouble with getting pregnant and ...

Where the Wild Things Are357 reviews

"And it was still Hot!"
The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is!
I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later over the next few years told it at different events as an "oral tradition" style presentation, which goes to show you how well it is ...

A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

Excellent!
I love this book, but lost it, so I had to order another one. I have the complete set now, and have to read them at least once a year or so. IT is a great start to the Harry Potter series. Thank you.

Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain224 reviews
David Buchholz
Workman Publishing Company, 2002
This program works
I first saw Dr. Buchholz 12 years ago for severe headaches. I had been to numerous doctors and had tried many things including sinus remedies, acupuncture and Imitrex injections. With every failed treatment, I felt physically and emotionally worse.
It took me awhile to buy in to Dr. Buchholz's program but I was desperate so finally gave it a try. After 2 weeks I felt better and after two ...

A Ring of Endless Light (Austin Family)205 reviews
Madeleine L'Engle
Tandem Library, 1999
Loved It!!
I loved this book and I would recommend it to girls from the ages 10 and up. This was a good story to connect to your life or the lives of the people around you. The things that happen to Vicky in A Ring of Endless Light might happen or may have happened to the reader. Therefore the plot of the story is believable. I would like to read another story by this author because I loved how thorough ...

Fancy Nancy Books are Wonderful
I held a Fancy Nancy party for my granddaughter for her 6th birthday. We made a Fancy Nancy cake and the ultimate was when she opened all her Fancy Nancy books that she received as gifts. Just adorable writing and illustrations. Thanks.

The Vaccine Book163 reviews
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Objective information
I must preface this review with the disclosure that I am personally in agreement with much of the information and views presented in the Sears' parenting library. I have been reading this book as I prepare to have my second child vaccinated. I will have my children vaccinated because we travel internationally to the developing world where diseases that are not common in the U.S. are still ...

Very good book
I was required to get this book for my special education training that I need for my master's. This book was very interesting. It showed the good and bad things Torey Hayden did in the course of serving this one child, Sheila. I could not put it down.

L.M. Montgomery
Starfire, 1990
Pure delight!
The Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set is perfect! These stories take you
back to a magical time and place but they are still realistic. Each book
pulls you deeper and deeper into the set. My grandmother and I read
this series together and both loved it.
Highly recommended.

I've read it over ten times
Since I first read this book over 15 years ago I've read the book over 10 times. I read it three times the first year. I felt it was an amazing story, very touching, and able to tug at me each time I read it. The strength and courage that the author had was amazing.

The Lords of Discipline168 reviews

Duty, Honor, Country
The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...

Oddly Comforting!
I found this book so soothing. If you love the Simpsons, you will love this book. You can relive the most hilarious quotes of the series in the most convienient manner possible. No need to search through DVD's to hear Homer say, "It takes two to lie, Marge. One to lie, and one to listen." Instead, you can flip through this book and relive all your favorite moments. I read it over and over ...
