Biến Ước Mơ Thành Hiện Thực - Tái bản 06/2013 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Pamala Oslie

This is a beautiful book filled with bright, bold colors. I like that the words are all at the bottom of the pages so they don't distract from the pictures. This book is going to be a nice addition to our bedtime routine.

Nổi Danh Vang Dội - Cleopatra Và Con Rắn Mào Dữ Tợn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Margaret Simpson

It’s time for another gathering of the Lesbian Adventure Club and this month is a little special. Kate and Claudia are celebrating their ten-year anniversary at the Crappie Cabin, just the two of them for one blissful evening before they are invaded by the group of their closest friends. Unfortunately, things don’t go quite as planned and when Claudia accuses Kate of something quite serious, feelings are hurt and the women spend the evening not talking. Kate is reeling from the accusations, and the lack of trust her partner has in her cuts to Kate's core. “But I also knew how much I loved her, how utterly committed I was to her. Having that questioned ~ even if via fear ~ seemed like a punch in the stomach, the heart.” Despite their best efforts to hide their troubles from their friends, Kate and Claudia are not very good at masking how miserable they are. Or maybe it’s just that Ginny & Kris, Maggie & Susan, Alison & Janice and Laura & Holly know their friends quite well. Before too long comes yelling, tears, confessions, assurances, more crying, and declarations of love. All the women are there for Kate and Claudia when they need their friends the most. But that is only one part of the undisciplined weekend. Claudia sets the stage when she throws their plans out the window. The women are all excited by the prospect of a free weekend, with absolutely no plans and lots of time for relaxing. However, despite howls of excitement from all, these woman just aren’t happy unless they have plans and things begin to rise up including bowling and rescuing some Dykes Who Dare honorary members. Scraps is once again a fantastic addition to a series that has become a personal favorite of mine. I never know quite what to expect when I begin a Lesbian Adventure Club book but Wraight never fails to deliver a tightly woven plot with characters that are engaging and well developed. These women are strong and independent yet they have their weaknesses and rely on their close connections with one another. Of all the female characters I've read, these stand out in my mind for so many reasons. The stories are fun and heart-warming and silly but what keeps me coming back to the books over and over is the characters. These women are true-to-life and feel like old college friends who come by for a visit every once in a while. The core of this story is trust. Trust in your partner, trust in your friends, trust that you know another person and can rely on that trust. The story beings with Claudia not trusting Kate, something that is simply gut-wrenching to watch since these women have fought so hard throughout the series to fix their relationship and be solid together. There are numerous other instances within the story of cases where friends and lovers either trust or do not trust one another, continuing the theme throughout the entire story. Some are serious ~ Kate believing that she will be alone again if her friends believe she is capable of what she’s been accused of ~ while others are quite funny ~ Alison fighting tooth and nail against Maggie who wants her to try vegan ice cream. Each is cunningly woven into the story so that they don't hit you over the head but instead subtly push over and over toward understanding the need for trust. This story is much more emotional than some of the previous ones, and a lot of that is undoubtedly because Kate & Claudia are one of my favorite couples and my heart simply ached for them. I'm being intentionally vague in the review as I don't want to give away what comes between them, but reading it brought tears to my eyes. Kate, as our fearless narrator for each story, is the character that readers will undoubtedly feel closest to as we experience the stories through her eyes. To see her struggling, so desperate to make Claudia understand, foundering at the thought of losing the woman that is the center of her world, is deeply moving. This books starts out with a punch to the gut and then simply takes off, a wild emotional ride from beginning to end. Of course, this wouldn't be a Lesbian Adventure Club book if there weren't lots of laughter inducing bits! Wraight deftly balances emotional storylines with plenty of humor. Kate has a “hemorrhoid removal via the nostril” episode which is quite unpleasant and brought on by a sadistic rendition of “She’s a Little Teapot” from Laura. You just know that when fierce detective Laura is singing and dancing around there is going to be hell to pay. There is talk of how often couples “ta-da”, a “Venus gay-man trap”, “a littermate crybaby ~ a primate crymate”, a “Squiggly Empress Show”, and DWDWDWD aka “Dudes Who Deal With Dykes Who Dare.” No really! And for sports fans, one gal manages to get "a bunch of daredevil lesbians to agree to wear ugly shoes and touch balls.” Now that's skill! Anyone who has read one of my reviews for the books in this series will know that they can always be read as stand-alones but I highly recommend starting from the beginning. The books flow together beautifully with the progression of the relationships between both friends and lovers. The series prior to Scraps starts with Scavengers, and continues with Ledge Walkers, Savages, Loose Sleuths, Sisters, and Leakers Ignited. Each book is a fantastic read, and all together they make for a phenomenal set of books that I cannot more highly recommend.

Hồi Ký Lý Quang Diệu - Tập 2: Từ Thế Giới Thứ Ba Vươn Lên Thứ Nhất Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This book is crazy! And, not so easy to read. Not that it is difficult reading, but rather, complicated reading because it is basically one story told from three people. Not different POVs, mind you, but a story about a story about a story. So, you spend a lot of time going back over pages to read other columns. However, the main story that drives the action is basic and very creepy and will hold your attention. The creativity is amazing!

I love the way she tells stories about the people in her life and some times they are not "good" stories but she never comes across as judging them. In fact it is quite clear that she loves these people and is just telling what really happened. A great read.

Văn Học Kinh Điển - Hồng Lâu Mộng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tào Tuyết Cần

Kiss of Midnight was an interesting story, but it was far too similar to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series for me to get the full enjoyment of it. After witnessing a scuffle outside a nightclub Gabrielle who has the common sense to take a photo of the attacker as he descends on his victim, this would have been fine if anyone could tell what the picture was. Dismissed as being a little unhinged by the police, Gabrielle doesn’t realise that being a witness to what she saw has put her in a lot more danger than what she ever realised. Gabrielle was a flaky character; she had absolutely no resistance to Lucan even when he was pushing himself inside her house uninvited on many occasions. She also wasn’t very intelligent, there is a rule, don’t walk in dark secluded places at night, and don’t open your door to strangers when you know evil people are after you. Kiss of Midnight was well written, the characters had ok chemistry and the writing flowed nicely. The major problem with this book though is that is far too much like the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Vampires who are protecting their race from evil baddies under the reign of a traitor, trying to simultaneously protect human and vampire kind. Each book centres around one warrior who goes through the motions of finding his true mate or Breed mate as these women are called. The only difference in the Midnight Breeds series is that there are no female vampires and the Breed mates are born with a special mark usually behind the ear that signifies them. I also felt that at the end Kiss of Midnight became far too long-winded. The ending started to be really drawn out, and could have been wound up at least 50 pages earlier omitting a few pages of denial and empty threats. I am interested in this series purely because it is a safe read, you know it will be hot, you know it will have a happy ending and it is written well but it is not a series I will be going anywhere near until I have long since finished the Black Dagger Brotherhood books.

Truyện Ngắn Ma Văn Kháng - Tập 2 (Bìa Cứng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ma Văn Kháng

So most people seem to love this book. I gave it 4 stars because I really loved reading it - I was thinking about it when I wasn't reading, and finished it in my back yard hammock with my dog at my side. What I didn't love was the ending. It felt rushed to me. For all of the painstaking detail the author went through to get all of the back and forth just right, it felt like she realized she needed to end the book, went back and planted a few things in the earlier pages, and made the ending chaotic and vague. I was disappointed with that, but had a really fun reading experience, otherwise.
