Memories for My Grandchild 16 reviews
Annie Decker, Nicole Stephenson
Chronicle Books, 2004
beautifully written!!
I ordered six of these books for my daughter's four grandparents and two surviving great-grandparents. After looking through them, I am sad that she will not have books of her other great-grandparents as well. The questions are very comprehensive and there's lots of room to write answers. This book is exactly what I was looking for. There's so many interesting questions that I would have never ...

Polka Dots Locking Journal: My Place, My Space (Notebook, Diary) (2nd Gen Lock!) (Locking Journal) 7 reviews
Peter Pauper Press
Peter Pauper Press, Inc., 2006
Great diary!
This is a great diary! When I got it, it was unlocked, and at the back there was a tiny envelope that had 2 keys on a red string for me to use. This diary's spaces between the pages are probably around the width of your pinkie finger. Counting both sides, it has about 195 pages or so, making it worth the purchase. It's large by not too large, and it's outside edges are smooth and pretty. The ...

In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer 81 reviews
Irene Opdyke
Laurel Leaf, 2004
A book for both Mothers and Teen Daughters
My 14-year-old daughter read this book and insisted that I read it. When I finally agreed, I could not put the book down. The story is so well told that you can can truly understand the experience of a 17-year-old girl in the midst of the horrible events. A compelling book that everyone should read and discuss.

Gooseberry Patch

Great Keepsake
I decided to put family favorites in a collection to pass on to my children. Not only was it fun, but brought back many memories for me as I went through recipes handed down to me from my mother and grand-mother. My children loved receiving these as gifts. Hand written with love.

My Family, My Journey: A Baby Book for Adoptive Families13 reviews
Zoe Francesca
Chronicle Books, 2007
I was so excited to find this!!!
We just adopted a newborn and I'd already purchased a regular baby book. But, I wasn't sure how to address the pregnancy pages, etc. So, when I got this one, it solved my problem. I also think it is perfect for many different types of adoption of children of any age. In our case, we were at the hospital when he was born, but I like that the pages are labeled "month one" instead of "1 month ...

Memories of My Melancholy Whores 108 reviews
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Vintage, 2006
Minotaur-mania: Garcia Marquez Explores the Myth of Love
Made In Hero: The War for Soap
At first glance, this novel struck me as little more than the sly chronicle of a dirty old man striving to celebrate his ninetieth birthday by bedding a virgin. Incidentally, she would have to be a minor since no other kind of virgin exists in this fantastical kingdom of brothels. In actuality, the setting is a coastal slum of fermenting humanity-transformed, ...

My Father's Glory & My Mother's Castle: Marcel Pagnol's Memories of Childhood10 reviews
Marcel Pagnol
North Point Press, 1986
5 star book, 1 star delivery
This is a delightful book that I had read many years ago in French, and I was very excited to read it in translation. Unfortunately, I found out after I ordered it that this book is out of print and is considered a "rare, print on demand" book. It took over 6 weeks to arrive, and I almost cancelled my order.
Amazon states that this book ships in 24 hours, but it took more like 1000 hours. If ...

My Hitch in Hell: The Bataan Death March (Memories of War)25 reviews
Lester I. Tenney
Potomac Books Inc., 2007
Tenney does justice to an event all too often forgetten....
I just finished this book, and I must say I am inspired. Lester Tenney deserves an enormous amount of respect and admiration for what he endured and acomplished during his time as an american POW.
While this is not exactly a full account of the Death March and the surrounding events filled with statistics and data, it is Tenney's first hand account that makes this horrendous event so palpable ...

Anaphase II Publishing, 2004
the most practical work of its kind.....
My 13-year old son has spent the last school year putting into action the suggestions and insight he has gained from this book, and has made such progress (in scholastics, sports, and social arenas) that I have to attribute much of this to the lessons contained in this fantastic book. I also have been awakened and am improving in multiple facets in my life.
I have added about 40 or so ...

Guess How Much I Love You: Baby Book
I received this book as a gift for my first son. When our second son was born, I searched and searched for a similar book for him. My problem with all the other baby books I looked at is they are too detailed! I don't want to write about everything in the world....I want to be able to record important facts and firsts about my children. So I ended up ordering the exact same book for my second ...

Martha Lear
Wellness Central, 2008
Stop me before I buy every copy of this Masterpiece
Where did I leave my glasses? Where did I leave my keys? Why did I come into this room... what was I after? What was I talking about? Did I call you or did you call me? This witty, well researched, clearly written analysis of what happens to our memory as we get older is comforting in the sense that it suggests we aren't losing our mind... just our memory... and it's gonna happen to ...

Good resource for sandwich generation!
As someone who has aging parents I am starting to think about the time when they will need my assistance in downsizing. Having no idea where to begin I was very pleased to find this book. There were so many helpful tips to moving things that might seem useless to me in caring and sensitive ways. I really liked the personal stories that were scattered through out the book. I will also use the ...

Peter Pauper Press, Inc., 2006
Super Duper!!!
When I got this I wasn't sure whether or not the lock was built right into it or not. It turns out yes, the lock was built in.
THenI has horrified by the fact that you can ture the lock with your fingernail but soon realized that although you can turn it ,it won't unlock, it can only lock/unlock with the key, so *WHEW!!!*
This is really good except I think the spacing is a bit too large.
Oh, ...

For My Grandchild
This book, when filled out by "Grandma", will be a treasure. I have just started filling mine in and it is taking me to places I had not thought about for years. This will contain information my own children don't know about me. Give yourself a lot of time to do this, there are picture pages for which I will have to have copies made, etc. I might not want to give it away right after it is ...
