Silicon Dragon - Trung Quốc Chiến Thắng Như Thế Nào Trong Cuộc Chạy Đua Công Nghệ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rebecca A. Fannin

CAPTURED BY DESIRE by Kira Morgan 08/10 - Grand Central Publishing - Mass Market Paperback, 384 pages Great story with interesting characters When you are a talented but uncomplicated woman living in a difficult and tragic time how do you cope? For Miss Florie Gilder it is a matter of accepting the tradition of the time and let the males run the show plus take the credit while you do all the work. She is a master goldsmith who creates works of art with her delicate hands and sells the wares she creates under the guise of letting everyone think her foster father is the genius yes in reality it is Florie that has the gift and always did. It was during one of the fares where Florie was selling her work when everything turned quickly into a horrific twist of fate she could never have predicted. There is one piece Florie could never sell and it is a pomander that her mother left her before she died. Her mother explained that it was a gift from Florie’s biological father and with that piece she could find him which meant it held the key to her future. A misunderstanding has the piece being purchased by the Lady Mavis Fraser, wife to Lord Gilbert Fraser the Sherriff of Silkirk who also understands the significance of the piece of gold and wants it to destroy. But Florie grabs it back from Mavis and runs creating a situation where Florie is accused of stealing from the lady and branded a thief even though she returned the money. While on the run and near to escaping Florie is struck by a hunter’s arrow and begs him to take her to the nearest church where she will receive 40 days of sanctuary from the charges and gain the needed time to prove her innocence. Rane McAlister consumed with guilt over injuring this wee slip of a lass does just that and cares for her himself knowing that the pain and agony she is suffering is from his arrow even though he meant his target to be a deer not the stunning female in his arms. But the irony in all of this lies with the fact the Rane is the huntsman to the Sheriff who seeks to have Florie tried for thievery against his own wife, Mavis. As the day’s move forward each one brings Rane and Florie closer to realizing the truth of the story behind the accusations against her, the depth of their past lives and misdeeds along with the undeniable fact that they are falling slowly but surely in love with one another. This is so wrong and could never work but the warmth they find in one another’s arms in unmistakable and the strength they had apart is nothing compared to the power they have together. Rane is quite the ladies man and Florie an unsophisticated woman but neither of these facts seem to dampen the draw each has for the other even though they are both strong willed and very uneven tempered. The times were hard and the life difficult in the 1500’s but this story shows that not everything had to be harsh. These were terrible times yes but there was also love and tenderness with kind men who could love a strong willed woman. It takes a good writer to take the reader to a place and time and have them feel as if they are there with the characters and Ms. Morgan does just that with ease and entertainment.

Tập Tô Màu - Hãy Đợi Đấy! - Tập 7 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: First News

I've been reading Scar Night for 8 whole weeks! I don't get a lot of time to read but the 8 weeks is only partly a reflection of that. For whatever reason, the first half of Scar Night didn't grip me. On the other hand I've given up on a fair number of best selling fantasy books between page 50 & 100 when they've not worked for me - and I didn't give up on Scar Night. What kept me in the game were the facts that Scar Night has excellent prose, good description, good dialogue, and tremendous imagination. I think it was simply the characters that for the longest time didn't win me over. Eventually though the story sunk its hooks in me and I started to care a bit about the characters (and considerably more about what was going to happen). Possibly because I'm not the widest read fantasy fan (I'm wide read, but have a narrow window on fantasy), I found Scar Night to be unlike any other tale I've read. It felt in no way derivative, and that freshness is a big plus. The city of Deepgate, hung on chains above a seemingly bottomless pit, is a fantastic work of imagination, brought to life at each turn. And the characters, whilst the least gripping part of the ensemble for me, were certainly not cliched and certainly were interesting. It was on an emotional level they failed to engage me. So, with 90% of the required raw ingredients for an excellent fantasy Campbell sets to work and does a great job. By the end I was fully sold on the story and as the tempo picked up and we bounced from cliff-hanging thread to cliff-hanging thread I was thoroughly enjoying it all. At the end the 'bottom of the bottomless pit' stuff was somewhat anti-climactic, but when something is built up for so long it's near impossible to fulfil expectations & the mystery of it was used to great effect for a long time - so that's ok. I can certainly recommend the read and I'll be trying another Campbell book one of these days.

this story is like one long runon sentence. this mother is convinced she's being attacked by a demon (but the real demon is her abusive boyfriend - uhm hello?). it was way too god-heavy for me.

Cách Nhớ Công Thức Toán Học 12-11-10 & Luyện Thi Đại Học Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

What if there was a group of hipsters who were also all-powerful magicians? Some spoilers ahead. The plot was excellent. Grossman managed a few unique and fun twists to the wizard school sub-genre of fantasy. However, the characters are just terrible to each other. They don't trust anyone--especially their friends--which I guess kind of goes with the territory of having the ability to manipulate the laws of physics. Well worth reading for the scenes about life at a magical school alone. And the last third of the book is a sort of postmodern homage to the Chronicles of Narnia that--I think--was done in a spirit of love for Lewis' classics.

100 Cách Sống Hạnh Phúc (Dự kiến phát hành 15/4/2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Timothy J. Sharp

This book takes place during the Chinese Revolution, when Mao sent the youth to be re-educated. The narrator, Ma, and his friend Luo were sent to one of these camps. There, they find their friend, Four Eyes, who had a briefcase full of forbidden books, which they end up stealing later on. Along the way, they meet the Little Seamstress; she and Luo fall in love, which causes a few problems towards the end of the book that throws everyone off course. I liked this book, however i was slightly dissapointed with the ending; I don't like it when authors leave you hanging at the end of the book, when you don't know for certain what happens.

I usually love kundera, but this was not my favorite book of his. Still a really good read, especially if you make a nice pot of tea and settle in to relax.

I haven't read books like the Hunger Games or Lemony Snicket, books like that. I am not very in to Mysteries, for some reason I decided to read this book without knowing whats ahead. I started to read this book. I got around page 30 then I stopped reading it because I wasn't into a book about dangerous missions, secret societies and special kids. This book didn't bring me in, in the begging so that is why I didn't read more of it. I abandoned this book, I thought I could have read more but I wasn't interested. I would like to try to get out of my comfort zone with reading different Genres because I would like to make my stretch zone my comfort zone. One way I can make this happen is by reading more Mystery with different plots. I recommend this book to anyone between ages 10 and up, because anyone can read this book that like Mysteries and adventure. I would like to read many more books like this, like the Hunger Games to get out of comfort zone with reading.
