Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook
Great cookbook. The receipes are easy to read. I've tried cooking some of the dishes and they were a hit with a dinner party I had.

A sad burqa "romance" with a semi-happy ending
I enjoyed the book. Despite having a mostly sad story line, the two female main characters demonstrated courage, love, and hope in an otherwise brutal and oppressive marriage. This book is not for children since it frequently describes sexual encounters in a somewhat graphic, though tasteful, manner. No need to recount the story since other reviewers have already done that. I'll just express ...

Winston the Book Wolf

Marni McGee

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2007

Giggle-licious!
Marni McGee's rollicking tale of an insatiable word-gobbling wolf is a delight from start to finish. Pair it with one or two or thirty story-hungry kids and you have a recipe for lots of laughs and the need to read. Ms. McGee's love of language is infectious, and Ian Beck's brilliant art adds to the fun in a big way! A true gem and must have for story hours everywhere.

Faerie Lord (Faerie Wars)

Possibly the very best of the Faerie Wars series
If you're like me, you couldn't stand the page-long chapters and countless viewpoint changes of the Purple Emperor. Ruler of the Realm was a great improvement but still left something to be desired. Yet this fourth book in the Faerie Wars series, Faerie Lord, goes back to the original style that made Faerie Wars so fun to read. There are only a few characters to follow, the narratives all ...

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

J.K. Rowling

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2004

What in the world was I waiting for?
Most decidedly curmudgeonly! Yes, that's it. One of the few remaining people on the planet who hadn't read any of the Harry Potter novels and, like Vernon Dursley, my initial reaction to all this wizard and magic rubbish was a very mugglish "stuff and nonsense". I admit it. As I read the first few pages, my initial thoughts were that this was all quite silly. Where had this Harry Potter ...

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2007

Excellent!
I've read many of Coupland's books and this is the one I liked best. I'm a bit surprised to find that not everybody agrees but then in many ways I'm not an average guy. Can't wait to read his newest book!

Austerity Britain, 1945-1951 (Tales of a New Jerusalem)

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2008

Austerity Britain
A very nice journey into the past, where you as the traveler, are entertained, amazed and surprised at how the English people survived the war. I was entranced to read how the English took everything, well actually, without anything that we all took for granted, in stride. They suffered the most during the war and gave their all for victory. This is a wonderful story told as how it was to live, ...

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2008

Warm story of lies, truth, and sharing.
Ruthie loves little things, so when she finds a tiny toy on the school playground, she can't believe her luck - even though it belongs to someone else. She insists it's hers - but knows it's really not... trouble is, the lie she tells gets bigger and harder to deny all the time. Picturebook readers will find plenty to recognize in this warm story of lies, truth, and sharing.

This book is Golden, I read all night and didn't even notice. The writing makes it seem like a dream. But it's so fantastical it may all be true... I kind of wonder if.. think that it is, but I don't want to go searching & risk breaking the illusion.. You will fall in love with him. You'll wish you could go to Orkney & let him make you see the orchards & angels too.

The Best Friends' Guide to Pregnancy (Best Friends)

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 1997

Makes you laugh when you feel like crying!
Personally, I loved this book. I read it as a first time Mum and although some sections were a bit graphic, it was great for someone to finally tell it as it is! What I found scariest was when 'unpleasant' things happened and then I'd worry. But one quick read of the best friends guide reassured me that yes, what was happening was NORMAL! The best pregnancy guide I bought. It will make you ...
