Dòng Máu Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Sidney Sheldon

I read this after a friend and neighbor loaned me her copy (which she ended up gifting to me several weeks later). To be perfectly honest, this book did not hold a lot of promise for me. My progress stalled somewhere around page 50, all of which seemed to consist of a nearly constant inner monologue of "I am fat and everyone hates me!" I am a big woman. I have never been ashamed of it, nor apologized for it. I have certainly never agonized over my food choices or what others think of me. I found, while reading this book, that I became hypersensitive of what was happening around me. I grew almost paranoid, and I certainly felt shame. This was not, I think, the authors intention. However, it is what happened. So, stalled at page fifty. My friend encouraged me to finish the book, insisting that she had had a hard time with the first section too, but relief was coming (SOON!) and I should at least try to finish. So, I did. She was right, the book did get better. It got a lot better. I finished the rest of it in a single evening and wished that there was more. That being said, it was not a fluffy, happy book. I expected that it would be brainless drivel because of the cover and general attitude in the beginning, but it wasn't. It dealt with some fairly serious and weighty issues with a grace that was unexpected to say the least. I may never read it again, but I'm not sorry I did the first time.

Book #60 of 2011 Since I no longer remember the details, I figured halloween would be a good time to re-read this series. Not quite as spooky the second time around - I guess even if I don't know all the details knowing how "spooky" its supposed to be makes it somehow less spooky. Or something. But still a good read. Kinda too bad I'm not going to finish the trilogy in time for Haloween, but such is life with a full time job and part-time school. Book #41 of 2009 4/15/2009 Oh... wow. That was... pretty spooky. Very good. The pairing off of the six main characters was pretty obvious, but that's okay. In general, this seemed to be less about the characters themselves as it was in the Gallagher Trilogy I finished last month by Roberts and a lot more about plot, which is fine by me. Still, I see similarities between the characters of the two books of both trilogies. The males run the family business, the females are outsiders, writers. The couple themselves is all about family. The females were engaged/married previously and there are some hangups about repeating their mistakes. It left me with many questions and eager to find out what happens in the next book. In the April Reading Challenge this will fulfill #2, "Read a book picked from an April B-Day celebrant GR shelf. Be sure to specify whose shelf you pick it from." I chose it from Sarah's shelf, or, more accurately, I noticed that it was on both my shelf and hers, a natural pairing.

Những Cuộc Phiêu Lưu Trong Kinh Doanh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: John Brooks

I found this book to be both interesting and boring in places . It tells the story of the land we know as Scotland before it became Scotland. The narrative begins 10,000 years ago and continues up until AD900 when the last of the native British kingdoms in the north were effaced. The fact that I can even write that last sentence shows how much I learnt from this book. Before reading it I had wrongly thought that the Gaelic speaking Scots were the original inhabitants of Scotland and the English their bitter enemies. Turns out that Gaelic speaking Scots are just a different branch of English invaders. The original inhabitants of the land before Scotland were British people, named so because they lived in Pretannike which translated as 'Land of the Painted People' (they tattooed themselves). The Romans mangled this into Britannica which in turn became Britain. The Pretannikai spoke a Celtic language closely related to Welsh. I also learnt a lot about the Picts who I had heard of but knew absolutely nothing about. It's a shame we know so little about them. Some of the carved stones they have left behind are beautiful and very mysterious. I enjoyed the earlier chapters of the book the most. These were set in the most distant past and explained all the geologic and climatic changes that helped shape the land and frame the way of life of the inhabitants of that land. And I learned of the existence of Doggerland which I had never heard of before. The middle chapters bored me a bit with their descriptions of Roman battles as I've never been interested in warfare. It was interesting to learn a bit more about Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall. It was also interesting to see that the divisions between lowland and highland inhabitants seemed to exist even back then with the lowlanders collaborating most shamelessly with their Roman oppressors. So all in all it was mostly an interesting read but it could probably have been a third less long and been even better!
