EVIL THIRST: THE LAST VAMPIRE 5 (HARDCOVER) (The Last Vampire , No 5)

LOVED IT!
In fact I LOVED the entire series! I think I read every book over at LEAST 4 times! I especially loved the character Kalika, loved the way he described her, loved her fathomlessness... I feel speechless right now, I don't even know what I say! That's how good it is... The book is religious, yet not so seriously so that you will punished if you do not agree or w/e, but simply, you'll be sucked ...

An Historical Fiction Treasure!
I found this historical fiction text to be absolutely enthralling! It has not only provided me with hours of enjoyable, page-turning reading, but has also given me great insight into my Polish ancestry and heritage. The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ...

From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava

Love and War
This is not a book I would have ever picked up on my own. Although I love and care about dogs, and all animals, with a passion, I generally don't have any interest in reading true-life "My Dog and Me" stories. However, my mother highly recommended it and now I'm glad I read it, because it made the war more real to me that just about anything else has. The heart of the story is, of course, ...

Persian Girls: A Memoir

A Memoir that reads like a novel
The front cover of Persian Girls: A Memoir by Nahib Rachlin has a quote from a Boston Globe reviewer saying that the "memoir reads like a novel", which I felt was very accurate. Nahib has provided us with a peek into her world, spanning over fifty years, and immersing us in the culture of Iran and her family. Nahib pulls us quickly into her world, showing us her split childhood - life with her ...

Compelling read
Fast read, hard to put the book down, nonstop pace. The author's description of his inner struggle to "finish the job" he began in the midst of the siege was quite moving. Even more moving was the author's return back to Fallujah to honor the dead . Great book, highly recommended.

Another World 35th Anniversary: The 35th Anniversary Celebration

A Must for AW fans
Anyone who watched this soap will enjoy this book. Since this soap was taken from us on the 35th anniversary, this book has even more meaning. You will get to relive the highlights and story lines now missing from our daily lives. I get mine out about every 6 months - or whenever I need a Bay City fix. Looking through the book always manages to bring tears or laughter to me.

Loved this series!!!
I remember I first read this series in middle school at age 13. I am now finishing college and still am obsessed with this series. It was awesome writing and kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. It had a great romance and stirred a fire in me. I couldn't put the books down. I recommend this series to any young readers and even the young at heart.

HCI, 1997

nice book
my family got this as a gift about 8 years ago. I don't remember much about it but I remember the stories about the mother losing her son during a skiing accident, the girl who bought her mom bobby pins for her birthday and the story where they're celebrating a grandmother's birthday and she dies at the end of the party after seeing her entire family at the celebration.

The Locket (The Christmas Box Trilogy)

67 reviews
Richard Paul Evans

Simon & Schuster, 1998

Excellent story!
This was an excellent book! It wasn't just a typical romance, instead, it focused on what comes after falling in love. Devotion, kindness, and respect were themes in this novel. It was well-written, and kept my attention until the end.

The Great Redwall Feast (Redwall)

20 reviews
Brian Jacques

Putnam Juvenile, 2000

flawless illustrations and a loooong poem
Fabulous illustrations occupy most of the page in this 64-page poem of 101 six-lined stanzas with an AACBBC rhyming scheme. The story incorporates many of the series' favorite characters, including Matthias and Cornflower, and depicts not only the preparations of a wonderful Redwall feast by hares and mice and otters, but includes a riddle as well. This book is really beautiful and should be ...

Touching-will resonate with animal lovers
This book is a gentle treasure. The story and the illustrations tug at the heart. The story is well told. It is gripping without being too intense for younger children. The artwork is lovely and adds to the sense of times past. This work will be handed down by generations of book and animal lovers. Exquisite. Highly recommended to all.

The charming sequel to "84"
For those readers panting to find out what happens to Helene after the publication of her wildly popular "84 Charing Cross Road", this book will satisfy you. HH's romp through London is rewarding, for those of us who are loyal fans know how desperatly she wanted to go there.

How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny

Joyce Meyer

Harrison House, 1999

Another milestone in my spiritual walk
I must say that in conjunction with Purpose Driven Life, Joyce's books have turned my life around. Joyce gave me the tools to drop all of the bitterness and self- doubt that had been plaguing me and keeping me from working towards the ministry God called me for. This book has been a "true gem" as an earlier review stated. Joyce pushes farther into the "just believe in yourself" mantra and ...

My Own Two Feet

Beverly Cleary

HarperCollins, 1995

Sad to See It End
After devouring Beverly Cleary's first memoir "A Girl From Yamhill" I couldn't wait to read My Own Two Feet. The only thing to complain about is that there isn't a sequel to this one! Picking up where Yamhill left off, we share in Beverly Cleary's journey through college and into her adult years and the writing of her first book, Henry Huggins. Reading Cleary's Memoirs, I was taken back to my own ...

Great for a quick crochet 'fix'!
This is a wonderful book for quick beautiful Afghans! From very basic to more advanced, there is something for everyone. All patterns are worked with two or more strands at a time, while still providing a wide range of patterns! There are basic filets, granny square, 'mile-a-minute' type, and everything in between, there are even baby patterns. Tons of fun and hours of enjoyment! Enjoy!

One extraordinary read...
James Herriot writes of his veterinary experiences as no one else could. Full of humor,sometimes sadness but always spellbinding and interesting. I could not put this book down.

The Wretched Stone

Chris Van Allsburg

Houghton Mifflin, 1991

Blinded and De-minded by the glowing light
Even my eight-year-old grandchild got the message of this wonderful allegory. The Wretched Stone is an important story with a message-- a great reminder lesson for children and adults alike, about the dangers of watching too much television. It's so easy to slide into the passive oblivion in front of the tube. We need to tear ourselves and our children away from the "glowing orb." The sailors on ...

The Library Dragon

Carmen Agra Deedy

Peachtree Publishers, 1994

I love this book!
I love "The Library Dragon"!! Why? It is so clever in illustrations but more so in word play. There is a flip doll The Library Dragon Flip Doll that goes with this book to show the dual nature of both the dragon and the librarian. I am burning to explain! A dragon is hired by the principal to protect the library books. In order to do that, she gets rid of all the old books and replaces them ...

James Herriot, Christopher Timothy

DH Audio, 1986

Definitely a classic
The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we knew he would as the second book ended. I'll also mention that he and Helen have a baby, which you probably expected. One of the ...

So much fun
I can sit and read this book over and over and over and the jokes are just so funny. I find it quite odd but I can relate to Jason Fox in so many ways.
