Mike Donalds mike_onalds — This delightful collection of three short stories is a must-read for the holiday season. Each story is a different twist on a familiar holiday movie. You’ll delight in the modern-day version of An American Carol by Jasmine Cresswell, Miracle on Bannock Street by Colleen Collins and It’s a Wonderful Night by Kathleen Long. An American Carol: Charles Brentwood has allowed himself to become the bitter old miser we so often see portrayed in The Christmas Carol. What’s different about this character is that he really is related to Charles Dickens, the writer of the original story. In the process of self-discovery, he realizes his mistakes of the past and allows Christmas to work its transforming power. Miracle on Bannock Street: Take one ambitious female private investigator, a court-appointed attorney, a wayward 11-year-old, a very confused Santa and you’ve got a miracle on Bannock Street. Stella is saddled with Bobby, who’s been in and out of the system and is about to get sent to a school of boys but it’s the holidays and the judge doesn’t want to send him there now. Turn around being fair play, Victor gets Santa to stay at his house. Taking a leap, blindly trusting, this group forms a magical Christmas tie. This was my favorite of the anthology because the little boy’s Christmas wish comes true. It’s a Wonderful Night: Meredith Downey had never planned to stay in Dodge, New Jersey. She’d left right after high school to become a doctor never to return again, leaving behind Matt Riley. That was, until her father died and left the town without a doctor. Her sister, Melody, is the one that left and traveled the world. But one wonderful, snowy night, Meredith and Matt got their wish and realized that things sometimes may not be what they seem. If you love to watch those black-and-white movies every year, then pop the corn, make a hot chocolate, take a front row seat and enjoy this book of holiday romances.

Sherhanie Bangsa sherhanie — I'm enjoying this book. Not usually into the novel about families but these characters draw you in and the book takes a bit of a turn about 3/4 way through...

Larissa Fernandes larissafernan — Rereading for Bookends as our Long Summer Read and thoroughly enjoying it all over again. Now with time and experience under my belt, it reads a little differently. The characters have not aged even though I have. Perspective is a good thing. Who am I relating to? Stiff Nancy, or Penelope? Hummm

Esther Itang estheritan08eb — Mme. Rwamotswe is a memorable and spunky character! She lives in a small village in Mozambique and decides to start her own detective agency. She has all kinds of encounters, from finding a lost little boy, to mending relationships, to retrieving a watch from inside a crocodile. It is an easy and fun read! The book is organized as a series of stories about her, and doesn't have one over-arching story, except that all the stories are about her doing detective work, so that might bother some people, because you want to know what happens to everyone at the end! I loved it anyway.

Ambra Zenato ambrart — Portions of this book were assigned for my Brit Lit class. I read about half of the assigned portions. I was distracted at the time by various events in life and wasn't yet a very good student. My professor had done his PhD work on Milton and taught with a contagious passion. So much passion that I decided, after the discussion was over, to buy the whole book. During our five day Fall break in my sophomore year I sat on the front lawn of my college and read Paradise Lost. Nonstop, getting up for meals and other important breaks but otherwise spending that whole break reading Milton. Hardly anyone else remained on campus. The weather was cool and breezy and beautiful. I sat under a tree and read lengthy portions out loud, which helped me get into the rhythm. Once in the rhythm of reading I tasted heaven itself. This book was an awakening for me, a trigger that opened up my soul and allowed me to understand a small portion of eternity. It was an epiphany weekend for me, one which transformed my soul, and remains in many ways an anchor for my faith. During the dark times of my soul I remembered those days and knew, knew, knew there was something to still hope for. This is a hard read and one that likely requires a lot of space, quiet and time. It takes a while to get into his rhythm and finally dance with his words, but if you can, if you can get away from this world for a while and devote yourself to Milton's work you'll find a new reality opening up. The man saw heaven. The man knew God. His writing is genius and extraordinary, far beyond anything else I've ever read. This book, literally, changed my soul and my life.

Tanghongli T 915650307c1f8 — A very good, brief and concise story about the World War - I.

Jim Trotter _imtrotter — Tony Hillerman does it again. I'm such a fan. I want to have lunch with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. Great characters, gradually unfolding mystery, a truly evil guy, and the best part, a powerful evocation of a place and a people. And Jim Chee finally got married!

Cherif Selim _505 — about 1/3 of the way through. I'm having a hard time getting into this one.
