Like a how-to for stenciling
This book is great. Page after page after page of stencils and stories. There are so many things to look at, it's well-organized, and includes a little something to read on almost every page. Some of the things in this book made me laugh, and other pages really made me think about the world I live in. I guess that's the point. If you want to get into stencil painting, this book will open ...

The Cranford Chronicles (Vintage Classics)
Elizabeth Gaskell

Random House UK, 2008

Three of Elizabeth Gaskell’s best-loved novels— Cranford , Mr Harrison's Confessions, and My Lady Ludlow— are combined in this witty and poignant look at the market town of Cranford. The railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the village from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order. The arrival of handsome young Doctor Harrison causes yet further agitation, not just because ...

Bridge of Sighs

Richard Russo

Random House Uk Ltd, 2007

Second only to Empire Falls
I love Richard Russo's work. I laughed out loud at Straight Man. I started out pursuing a career in Academia and contrasted the hysterical vision of that world with 'Castalia', Hesse's idyllic world of pure academe. Empire Falls is to date the greatest 21st century American novel. Bridge of Sighs is neither as humorous as either of those books nor as panoramic in scope as Empire Falls, ...

Social Intelligence

Daniel Goleman

Random House Uk Ltd, 2006

Intelligence + Awareness = Healthy Relationships! (translation: Read this Book!)
Daniel Goleman's book, "Social Intelligence- The New Science of Human Relationships", is a thought-provoking, analytical immersion in how people interact with one another on a daily basis. Goleman is perhaps widely recognized for his earlier success when he wrote about a similar theme in his previous book Emotional Intelligence. Goleman's theories are intellectually stimulating and ...

The Twilight Streets (Torchwood)

1 review
Gary Russell

Random House UK, 2008

Good book, but disappointing ending
This book has great character development. The author did a great job with the Torchwood charcters. Unfortunately, the ending is rushed and doesn't really make much sense. It almost seems like the author got to the page limit and had to finish quickly rather than reaching a natural conclusion. I enjoyed the book and will read it again, but it isn't going to be one of my favorite Torchwood ...

The ninth novel in the bestselling Torchwood range from BBC Books. Emma is 30, single and, frankly, desperate.

Testimony of Light: An Extraordinary Message of Life After Death

27 reviews
Helen Greaves

Random House UK, 2005

We take our talents with us!
This is a wonderful description of how we start where we left off (with certain things healed, like a little girl's crippled leg, for example) and go on learning and growing at our own pace from glory to glory, so to speak, unencumbered by the restrictions of a physical body. We do take our emotional "baggage" with us, but are given loving assistance to resolve issues and let it go so we can rise ...

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

119 reviews
Susan Jeffers

Random House Uk Ltd, 2007

Outtalk your negativity
"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" conveys that by taking positive control of our lives, letting go of resistance, and ultimately choosing one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, we can begin to realize that "pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the bigger underlying fear that comes with a feeling of helplessness." From a personal perspective, I have seen too many ...

Hands-On Healing for Pets: The Animal Lover's Essential Guide to Using Healing Energy

7 reviews
Margrit Coates

Random House UK, 2003

Uniquely comprehensive
I wish I could give this more then 5 stars. It is the most comprehensive book I've read for hands-on healing for animals. The author doesn't just offer hand placements but provides a wealth of information on other aspects that effect the pet's overall well being. The book covers scientific evidence of healing, explains auras and chakras, environmental impacts, animal communication - including ...

Doctor Who Encyclopedia (Doctor Who (BBC Hardcover))

5 reviews
Gary Russell

Random House UK, 2007

A fun and engrossing reference book for "New Who"
I suppose one could use Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia to actually look things up, but really, I think it's more fun to start with the letter A and peruse its entries in order. This ensures that you don't miss any of the goodies within, while providing almost as chaotic a tour of the worlds of Doctor Who as one might get in the TARDIS itself. Take the letter D, for example. Here you learn why ...

Murakami Diary 2009 (Diary)
Haruki Murakami

Random House UK, 2008

Cats slink across the pages; the seasons are marked by cherry blossom and Japanese maple; noodle strands or telephone cords separate the days; and a generous selection of quotations and extracts from Murakami’s novels and stories appear on almost every page to inspire, amuse or entertain. This is a diary like no other, faithful to all that is witty, surreal, sexy and beautiful in Murakami’s work. A must-have for fans of Murakami, ...

Innocent Traitor

74 reviews
Alison Weir

Random House Uk Ltd, 2007

Entertaining and as accurate as any novel can be...
Keeping in mind that this is a NOVEL and not purely an historical account, Weir manages to take the known facts and build an entertaining story of Lady Jane Grey. Many historical accounts have detailed the abuse Jane suffered from her parents, the manipulations and deceit but Weir helps to fill in the blanks by imagineing what Jane must have felt like and how she must have wanted to react (and ...

The View from Castle Rock

Alice Munro

Random House Uk Ltd, 2007

Alice Munro tells great short stories
Alice Munro is a wonderful Canadian writer. She has won numerous awards for her work in Canada, the United States and in the United Kingdom. The View from Castle Rock is her eleventh book of short stories-and it is terrific. Castle Rock is a high rocky outcropping in Scotland, not too far north of the Hadrian Wall that divides England and Scotland. From that vantage point one of Munro's ...

Bill Buford

Random House Uk Ltd, 2007

A peek into the kitchen
This is a very fun book. It is especially fun for those of us who have worked in restaurants. The literary images of poor Mr. Buford being thrown to the fire--quite literally--is a delightful ride. It is a foodie's paradise and a self-deprecating memoir of the author's offbeat culinary education (at a somewhat mature age).

Something In The Water (Torchwood)

Trevor Baxendale

Random House UK, 2008

The perfect Torchwood novel!
First, let me say that I had my hopes up when I bought this book. Owen is my favorite character in Torchwood, and I was enthusiastic when I read that he'd be the central character. And you know what? I was right to keep my hopes so high! This book is absolutely perfect. The characterization is spot-on, the dialog is amazing, and the action is, ultimately, just Torchwood. While I've never had ...

A Breath of Snow and Ashes

295 reviews
Diana Gabaldon

Random House Uk Ltd, 2006

Satisfying, as usual
Gabaldon paints her books with thick color. Her characters are so well-developed that I feel I know them all very well. A Breath of Snow and Ashes closes some questions left from earlier volumes, and rounds out some character detail. I don't want to give anything away here, but it was a thoroughly satisfying read. Happily, it also leaves an opening for further Jamie/Clair volumes. After ...
