365 Chuyện Kể Trước Giờ Đi Ngủ - Những Câu Chuyện Phát Triển Chỉ Số Tình Cảm EQ (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Linh

** spoiler alert ** I did not like this book very much and I am really surprised the book has avg rating of 4.21 (which is what drove me to read the book in the first place). The book isn't entirely bad though. It is action-packed and has an interesting, yet creepy plot. With that said, I felt like the author placed a greater emphasis on the plot, rather than the characters. I couldn't relate to any of them at all, and felt like many of them didn't have distinct personalities. That bothered me greatly. I won't recommend this book to anyone in particular, unless someone is looking for a quick-read to keep them entertained for an hour or two. The novel is fine, actually, but it's not like Harry Potter or Twilight. I can't get really "into" it. Here come the **spoilers**: This book is about a girl/"witch" named Stacy Brown. She has weird nightmares about her best friend and current roommate, Drea. They seem to foreshadow Drea's death. In these dreams, lilies are all always present; lilies also happen to be the flower that represent death. Stacy becomes really worried because she has had dreams like this in the past, and the last time she didn't act upon them. The result was the death of a little girl named Maura. Stacy isn't sure if she is misinterpreting her nightmares, so she uses card-reading to verify her visions. They all seem to indicate the same thing: Chad, Drea's ex-boyfriend is going to schedule something like date, then cancel on her, Drea is going to get mysterious packages and Drea is going to die soon. To make things even worse, Drea is getting calls from a mysterious guy, and she refuses to tell Stacy who he is. A few days later, Drea gets a package and Stacy becomes paranoid. Stacy doesn't want to tell Drea what her visions indicate, but after these odd phone calls, and the mysterious package, Stacy decides it's about time to tell her the truth. Stacy also tells Amber who is another friend of theirs. Drea doesn't take Stacy's warning seriously. The next day, Drea receives an odd message about Drea having only four more days. Along with the message is four lilies. Drea and Stacy are convinced that the number of lilies represent the number of days Drea has to live. However, despite this, Drea continues to talk to the mysterious guy on the phone, and she admits to Stacy and Amber that she has no idea who he is. Amber completely flips out, and advises her not to talk to him again. Stacy takes it upon herself to solve this mystery, and begins to get threatening messages. A mean girl named Veronica starts telling everyone that she is being stalked too, and has been sentenced to die the same day Drea has; however, Stacy feels that there is more to that story and Veronica is not telling the truth. All of a sudden, Veronica is murdered, which forces the police to get involved. Meanwhile, Stacy has problems with her relationship with Chad. She likes him, and she's pretty sure he likes her, but he was Drea's ex-boyfriend. Drea also gets annoyed with Stacy when she spends time with Chad, and that results in a major fight between Stacy and Drea. On top of all this, Stacy is having nightmares about Chad being the threating person/stalker. The day Veronica dies, Drea hyperventilates and is taken to the hospital. She is released later that night, but she never makes it back to her room. Stacy becomes worried and alerts the police but they aren't too concerned; in their eyes, Veronica's death is the main the problem. Stacy goes searching for Drea, and relies on her visions and her instinct to find her. She goes to a forest (after calling the police and letting them know), and finds Donnovan, a guy who has had a crush/obsession on Drea since third grade, there. Stacy cuts her foot, and Donnovan tells her to stay put while he goes and looks around for some help (apparently his cell phone had no connection). At first she trusts him, but the she questions why he is even here in the first place. That makes her suspicious so she continues her search for Drea. Donnovan gets mad and tells her that she wouldn't want to see what happened to her. Stacy finds Drea in the fetal position all tied up in a shed-like place. The two of them try to escape from Donnovan while he threatens them with a knife. When it almost seems like Stacy is going to die, the police appear on the scene just in time. Donnovan is arrested and taken away, while Drea and Stacy are taken back to the various locations to be questioned by different people. In the end, it turns out that Donnovan was the one who was threatening Drea from the beginning. Donnovan has been obsessed with Drea since third-grade, but she didn't like him back in that sense. Donnovan thought that if he could lure Drea away from Chad and her friends, and spend sometime with her, she would possibly love him. Veronica realized that Drea was getting a lot attention through this problem, and decided to fake the idea of being stalked too. She decided that she would leave town the day of the "murder," and when she came back Drea would be gone, as in dead. With Drea out of the way, she could have Chad to herself. However, Donnovan got upset with Veronica and decided that he had to do something about her. So, as he tells the court, he "accidentally" killed her. The court decides that Donnovan is not mentally straight, and he is sent to juvenile-jail for five years. They also require some counseling sessions for Donnovan. Meanwhile, Drea decides to leave campus and go back home to study for a year. She needs time to get over this ordeal. Also, she thanks Stacy for not bailing out on her, even though she was extremely rude to Stacy. Lastly, she gives permission to Stacy to date Chad.

Sài Gòn Cứ Vội (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ngọc Hoài Nhân

This book is Tina Fey through and through. You can literally hear her voice (or at least Liz Lemon's, Sarah Palin's and a host of other characters we have grown to know and love). If you are a fan of 30 Rock or 90s SNL, this book is for you. Also, if you've ever been a resident of Manahattan or Chicagoland you need to read Ms. Fey's take on both. This book is a quick read and a delight.

In "Mere Christianity" C. S. Lewis sets out to make modern arguments for non-believers to accept the compelling logic of Christianity. Timothy Keller's "Counterfeit Gods" on the other hand, is most likely to strengthen Christian insiders. That is to say, the author's arguments are not compelling unless the reader already professes the fundamentals of the Apostles Creed. Within the insider's framework, Keller offers at least six valuable ideas: 1. The commandments concerning idolatry are first because they are the most important. This has been learned and forgotten and must be relearned by every generation of Christians. Martin Luther made it a central tenant (Keller reminds us) in the reformation. 2. Keller posits a very wide definition of Idolatry: It is anything that assumes an "ultimate" status in our lives. 3. This broad definition of idolatry essentially includes anything that eclipses our relationship with God and our compassion for others. 4. It is human nature to want strong beliefs, constant truisms, dependable relationships and possessions, yet only the Trinity is eternal and ultimate. Keller argues that our very nature makes us prone to many forms of idolatrous behavior, so much so that we have trouble recognizing it in ourselves, our peers, our church, our culture. 5. Christians must develop the skills to identify idols. 6. A central struggle for modern Christians is to align professed faith with our fundamental decision making about our lives and activities. The first 180 odd pages (counting introduction) establish these six points with depth and clarity. The payoff is the last twelve pages, which are a concise 'to do' list for the Christian seeking to grow in the image of Christ. He distinguishes between our beliefs professed in church and our "Functional Keller suggests the following ways of identifying the idols in our own lives. While these last pages are not easily summarized, several key ideas will illustrate the author's core messages: 1. Your real religion is what you do with your free time; 2. To see where your idols are, look at where your money is spent; 3. To glimpse your idols, look at your most uncontrollable emotions: your darkest fears, you strongest passions, attachments and what arouses your anger and hatred. 4. It is not enough to merely identify and root out our idolatry, we must work tirelessly to replace them with the Trinity. I am not at all Keller's peer in theology or doctrine. As a lay reader, I have several observations: 1. This is not feel-good Christian writing: it is an industrial strength detergent and requires a reader willing to struggle and grow. 2. There are a few places where, in an attempt to incorporate the many ways Christians can go astray, Keller stretches his definition of idolatry too broadly. I found his explication of the Jonah story interesting, but ultimately there are simpler ways of benefiting from Jonah than to try to make it a story about idolatry. 3. This book makes an excellent candidate for Christian discussion groups and classes; it is bound to challenge many who are too comfortable in their faith, mea culpa! I would have given this book five stars if it had not made me so uncomfortable!

900 Câu Đàm Thoại Hàn - Việt Thông Dụng Hàng Ngày Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thanh Hương

I found this book very enjoyable and intriguing. This book is for the Christian wife who wants to show her husband her love and devotion for him. Maybe a new spark is needed. Maybe both husband and wife are falling into those bad habits of routinely "doing their own thing" and not involving each other into their lives. Maybe you have even started to forget why you fell in love in the first place. This book is for the wife who wants to change all that or just remind her husband that she is still "in love" with him. This book encompasses stories, prayers, devotions, and "Wow" ideas to kick-start your marriage again. The book is planned out for one "Wow Idea" each week, which is very manageable, but you can certainly pick your favorites to implement at any time. The ideas range from the very simple (making his favorite breakfast in bed) to the more in depth ( planning a "courageous" date that may be out of your box, but exciting for him). Even though I believe my marriage is very solid and happy, I have no doubt these ideas could create a spark in our relationship. I have a few ideas up my sleeve and plan to spring them on my husband in the near future. This book reminds you of why you fell in love with your husband in the first place and celebrates that. It also reminded me of the need to pray for my husband daily. I know that I have been neglecting that aspect of our marriage and this book shows you how to do just that. How can you go wrong planning surprises for your husband and praying for him daily? I was provided with an e-book copy to review from Netgalley.

Mai Em Vào Lớp 1 - Vở Bé Làm Quen Với Chữ Cái (Tập 1) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Just as I finished Kerr's "The One From the Other" this new title was released the following day. Naturally I had to read it with the continuous story still fresh in my mind. Last we left Gunther, he was on a steam ship escaping from war torn Europe attempting a new life in Argentina. After Gunther arrives his cover as a doctor is quickly blown and he is revealed as a cop/ detective. Bernie is then employed by the police to look into a missing girl case only it seems that the powers that be may know more about this "mystery" then they're letting on. A Quiet Flame is a quality continuation of the story, but I cannot be sure if I liked the previous title better because it was all new to me or if Flame was not quite as intriguing as the prior. I feel the answer lies in-between. Reading both titles back-to-back was like reading one 800 page detective story and I'm afraid that the story may have become a bit long in the tooth through my own actions rather then a failing of the story itself.

Ultimate brain candy read. A story of a middle class high school girl from the midwest who goes away to a New England boarding school. Not a classic in any way, but I read the book in two days and was very entertained. The author does a great job of capturing the mindset and emotional insecurities of a teenage girl.
