Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew 176 reviews Sherrie Eldridge
Delta, 1999
See What the Kids Think
+ A good book, but I wish it was even better
Before, during, or after you adopt read this book! It could prepare, protect, or propell your relationship with your adopted child. In my work as a speaker on family issues, I have adoptive parents ask for resources. This is one book I can highly recommend.

His Excellency: George Washington 219 reviews Joseph J. Ellis
Knopf, 2004
Excellent
Some have wanted to reserve 5 stars to a "War and Peace" type book. To me 5 stars means the book did what it set out to do and did it well. "His Excellency" indeed did. It is an excellent short biography of the father of our country. When I picked this book up, I realized all I knew about ...

Plum Lovin' (A Between-the-Numbers Novel) 255 reviews Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2007
between-the-numbers fun
+ I love these characters! + The return of Diesel, the supernatural bounty hunter
I ended up reading this out of order--mostly because I forgot about it. Whoops.
But that's not that much of a problem, because these between-the-numbers books (meaning Visions of Sugar Plums and this one, though I suspect there'll be more forthcoming) are just a wee bit off the series' track. ...

His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) 1086 reviews Philip Pullman
Laurel Leaf, 2003
Dark Materials a Triple Threat or Three Times a Charm? Awesome Novels!
+ "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman + The Death of Dogma and the Birth of Joy
When I saw the Golden Compass movie The Golden Compass (New Line Platinum Series Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) and the excellent acting of Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig (much different than his 007 role that same year, obviously), I wanted to read the book. Then I saw the reviews of the trilogy ...

Animals on the Other Side 76 reviews Sylvia Browne, Chris Dufresne
Angel Bea Publishing, 2005
Great Book
+ Animals on the Other Side by Sylvia Browne + Great Book
Although this is one of the most "simple" books I own, I enjoy it so much that I bought several more copies. I give them away to special friends who I believe will "understand" the theme.
This one is a "keeper" for me.
