Brilliantly written in a style that puts you inside Esme's character.
The story intrigued me from it's description. However, the writer's choice to style the narrative as she did, made me FEEL the characters, especially Esme Lennox.

Comfort and Reassurance for the Caretaker
This book was informative and comforting to me after I lost my mother to cancer. I wished I'd had this information while I was caring for her during her final months of life. However, it helped me to understand her needs and desires as I reflected on her health and needs during my grieving the first month following her passing. I strongly recommend it as an accompaniment to the services of ...

Lack of emotion, lack of passion, leaves this reader disappointed...
As much as Briar tries to make everyone, including herself, believe she's emotionless, you get flashes in the novel that are quite the opposite. At the beginning of the novel, Briar finds Crisa outside, looking confused, in pain. Somethings up, and as much as Briar doesn't want to care, we believe she does. But she's out for revenge and revenge only. From her step-father to Gregor, all she ...

A very fun read
I bought this book because I like books about knitting. I don't usually read a lot of mysteries. This one was well worth the time and money. The characters were likeable and interesting and the plot had just enough twist. I liked it.

Really like this...
This book has proven really inspirational to me. It has a lot of things about fitness and nutrition that you would never know had you not read this. This book has lots of large colored photos, and is really organized compared to the other Biggest Loser books I have by the same author. FIVE STARS!

Nice everyday bookmarks, sample of art
These are nice every day bookmarks. They're not fancy, there's a book of them and they are made of cardboard. The back says the name of the painting,and the front with the picture is kind of glossy. I wouldn't give them as a gift, as they are not really gift quality, unless it was to someone who is a Monet enthusiast or admirer that would be thrilled to have a little of their favorite author ...

MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION
We all basically know what we should do to lose weight and obtain good health - eat right, exercise and have good genetics. I liked this book for the mantras for motivation and the good advice and inspiration from Bob and Julian. It got me back on track and I have lost 21 lbs in 30 days, by doing the exercises and eating properly. I'm even back to drinking 8-10 glasses of water, just like my ...

Good Anthology
Excellent group of authors. I have to say there wasn't one any of the anthology stories I didn't like and of course it didn't hurt that my 2 fav authors were in it. If you like to read a short story when your waiting at the Docs office or something. This one is a good choice.

New to spinning? Cut-to-the-chase crash course in how to do it!
I'm a new spinner and felt overwhelmed with the technical aspects of it when I decided to learn. What I needed was a "just the facts" kind of guide that would let me get started and not overwhelm me with nerdy technical stuff that passionate and experienced practitioners love to talk about. Start Spinning is definitely it! Based on the reviews here, I bought a copy and agree completely with ...

A BRILLIANT BOOK for WOMEN who use WEIGHTS
I LOVE this book!! Hiss Boo Sucks to all those who whine about it not including the woman's upper body. When I discovered this, after having already been totally impressed by the quality and thoroughness of the medical knowledge, anatomical detail, terminology and artwork in this book, I immediately ordered Delavier's STRENGTH TRAINING ANATOMY, the original volume, which does include both men and ...

A guidebook for dealing with the inevitable final journeys.
Along with her first book, "Final Gifts", this latest work is required reading for anyone - and there are many, many of us out there - facing the issue of elder-care and the loss of a partner or loved one. There is a certain sensitivity in "Final Journeys" that is important and based on the author's years of work as a nurse in Hospice. Important book to read.

An outstanding book on baking bread
I have been baking bread for about 7 years now and have managed to get by using recipes for quick rising bread that could be completed in one day. I managed to make bread that tasted good and looked fine, but somehow the crisp brown crust and the big air pockets that are the hallmark of artisinal bread eluded me. I picked Maggie Glezer's book because of the reviews and I can confirm that this ...

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing
This is a fabulous book with excellent insight into the impact of trauma on the body. The authors offer a succint and easy read filled with information describing the dynamics of fight, flight or freeze that accompany every trauma. I gained not only helpful insight for working with children but insight into my own "freezes". Wonderfully helpful and a must-read for any parent or all adults ...
