3.5 stars What happens when you take a hot, crazy summer, combined with flying, two brothers, a best friend, and some hot character chemistry? You get Such A Rush. A story that focus on seventeen, soon to be eighteen year old Leah. A girl who's had to grow up quickly, and even though she doesn't come from a loving, supportive family, nor does she have all the finest things in life, this girl has incredible ambition, and when she sets her sites on becoming a pilot, her ticket to a better way of life, nothing will stop her from achieving her dream. One of the things I liked about Leah, is how realistic she felt. It was hard not to have respect and admiration for this girl and all she goes through to achieve her dream, and get out of her situation, when it would have been so easy to just fall victim to her circumstance. Leah is a strong character who takes the crappy hand she's been dwelt with in life and makes the most of it. Her entire life has been spent living in trailer parks, mostly near airports. I should say run down trailer parks, since her dead beat Mom doesn't do much to assist with their way of living. Despite Leah's age, she's the one who for the most part takes care of everything. I really admire Leah for the way she handles things, well for the most part. When it came to the guys I wanted to smack her a few times, but over all this girl makes the most out of a situation that might seem hard to get out. Her responsibility comes in the form of working at the local airport, and saving up enough money to earn flying lessons, something she's wanted to, and thank you to Mr. Hall and his deal, she's able to. I liked the role flying played in this story. I don't recall reading a YA book where being a pilot was a part of the story, and I was totally fascinated with this one. It's dangerous, intriguing, and for Leah, it's a total Rush! That Rush isn't just with flying. Leah's life has been all about finding that Rush. The rush from flying, the rush that comes from getting some control of her life, and of course the Rush that comes in the form of one of Mr Hall's sons, Grayson. Leah lives for the Rush. Let's talk about the guys! Wow. Jennifer Echols not only knows how to write characters who feel real, she knows how to create tension, as well as some hot and feisty character chemistry. Leah and Grayson have this undeniable attraction, but holy smokes, these two have a lot of tension between them as well. I couldn't believe two things Grayson does to Leah, and that Leah, while she fights it a bit, she doesn't just walk away from him, and all of it. Having said that, Leah is a stubborn girl, and she wasn't going to let Grayson take anything from her. The reader side of me enjoyed reading about what transpires between these two characters, but the mom side was a bit bothered by it. What bothered me is the way Leah allows Grayson to treat her at first. Yes, I get that these two have liked each other for a few years, but neither of them acts on it, but I still don't like a character who doesn't demand to be treated with respect. At the same time, giving Leah's circumstances I got why she went with certain things. Another thing I like about Jennifer Echol's writing is how well she writes, develops and plays into stereotypes with her storyline. She did an amazing job with this one. This was a good read, and I did enjoy reading about what transpires between Leah and Grayson. There is some language, some sensual scenes and a tastefully written sex scene in this book.

Phía Sau Cuộc Tình Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I never thought I'd sincerely describe anything as "delightful," but this book is really nice. It defines perfect recreational non-fiction for me. It is chock full of enjoyable trivia and profound assertions that engage in a way that makes you care about topics and concepts that you may never have pondered before. That's not to say you won't like this book if you are a rabid gardener or care deeply about the history and continued proliferation of apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes, but even if you've never thought of these things as interesting, you'll probably find something of interest here. This book is a great break from serious studying non-fiction or trite melodramatic fiction. It helped me consider my natural world during a time when that seemed to be exdeedingly difficult to do on my own.

Những Câu Chuyện Về Tình Bạn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

My impression is that the author started with a collection of jokes, logic problems, and palindromes in one column. Then he started another column of modern trends that he wanted to satirise. Then he put both columns in random order and attempted to write a plot that somehow linked everything together. The author indulges himself further with group conversations where the dialog of one person leads directly into what someone else is saying, but in such a way to twist the meaning of both statements... for pages at a time. A character who gets mentioned in passing at the beginning of the book will be mentioned, probably in passing, again by the end of the book. All these shenanigans make for an incredibly slow read where every line has the potential to have multiple meanings or significance - if the reader bothers to attempt to track it all. Sometimes it pays off (the results are often quite amusing), but more often it all fails to gel and one gets the impression of having put forth far too much time and effort.

MacKayla reminded me of Sookie Stackhouse. Cute feisty blond who seems to find trouble wherever she goes. And we even have a hot tall Eric type, but instead of being blond, he has dark hair and his name is Barrons. Very sexy.

from Amazon: "Alan is a middle-aged entrepreneur in contemporary Toronto who has devoted himself to fixing up a house in the bohemian neighborhood of Kensington. This naturally brings him in contact with the house full of students and layabouts next door, including a young woman, who, in a moment of stress, reveals to him that she has wingswings, moreover, that grow back after each attempt to cut them off. Alan understands. He himself has a secret or two. His father is a mountain, his mother is a washing machine, and among his brothers is a set of Russian nesting dolls. Now two of the three nesting dolls, Edward and Frederick, are on his doorstepwell on their way to starvation because their innermost member, George, has vanished. It appears that yet another brother, Davey, whom Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have returned....bent on revenge. Under such circumstances it seems only reasonable for Alan to involve himself with a visionary scheme to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet connectivity, a conspiracy spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who build miracles of hardware scavenged from the city's Dumpsters. But Alan's past won't leave him aloneand Davey is only one of the powers gunning for him and all his friends." As bizarre as it sounds, this book was pretty good. I would have given it another star except that as in several of Cory's other books, I feel like the "good-vibey" push of his character's ideas - in this instance, the wireless internet scheme - feels too much like the author is attempting to push the ideas on ME a little too obviously.

One of the better books I have read in terms of understanding mental illness. It's pretty interesting to read about a bipolar disorder from someone with a personal and academic perspective.

Thẩm Thăng Y Truyền Kỳ Hệ Liệt - Quỷ Huyết U Linh - Phong Thần Thất Giới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Ưng

Berlin in 1939 is not an easy place to be if you're not a supporter of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Being the Chief Auditor in the Reichsbank, right at the centre of the Party's finances would always be a tricky assignment, but if you're only there to try to stop the advance of the Third Reich it's an even more difficult place to be. Franz Schmidt isn't a typical hero, he's quiet, a small self-contained man, who has drawn on incredible internal resolve in his opposition to the direction that Germany is being driven in. He has divorced his wife (a matter of self-preservation) and joined the party, and he is prepared to put himself at great personal peril in the service of the high-ranking and powerful von Streck - someone who is working from within against the Fuehrer. In the bank there are many people who are passionate supporters of the Fuehrer and the Reich and Schmidt soon finds himself up against the formidable Fräulein Brandt, head of the Precious Metals Department, lover of a high-ranking Gestapo officer, a fanatical Nazi. He also meets and finds himself attracted to Fräulein Anna von Schnelling, a secretary within the bank who will ultimately put him at greater risk than his own mission. THE IRON HEART is a slow burner story, the tension building as Schmidt gets himself deeper and deeper into his mission - to find the financial blueprints for the Reich. Alongside his attempts to find and photograph the plans, Berlin is in turmoil. The Gestapo are ruthless in their pursuit of Jewish citizens and anybody who is working against the Party and their methods are ruthless. People opposed to the party - trying to save individuals and get them out of the country - take extreme risks on a daily basis. A constant game of cat and mouse is played out, and Schmidt finds himself involved in events that could not only stop his mission, but result in his own arrest. Huge sacrifices are made to ensure he can remain safe. Whilst there are a number of murders and deaths, THE IRON HEART isn't necessarily a mystery as the perpetrator of the killings is spelt out. The book is definitely more of a thriller in style, but at the same time Browne has created a very claustrophobic, dark, dangerous place in which events move swiftly, but the actions themselves are sometimes slow and very deliberate. It's a discomforting book to read, providing a very realistic feel of what it must be like to be under pressure, under threat, underwhelmed by your countries leaders, living a life that has been thrown into absolute turmoil by events outside your control, and being a reluctant, understated but very capable, non-typical hero.
