Mơ Những Giấc Mơ Mới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

For the fear of being booed and lashed out at, I will keep this simple and just write that this book left me underwhelmed. After all these years of waiting to read the book prior to watching the movie, I finally got around to reading this book. And I've been having a very hard time figuring out what "the big deal" is regarding it! (Several times, I checked to make sure this is THE "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and not another same-named novel!) I definitely didn't hate this book, but based on my high expectations of it, I was truly let down. But maybe that's not fair and I should simply judge the story based on its own merits. Perhaps I'll do that if I get to rereading it...

Tự Sát (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gào

As with Anderson's book Our Children Are Forever, this one can be very comforting for those who are grieving, depending upon one's mindset. If you are curious and have an open mind, it's an interesting read and I really liked learning the reasons George attributes for his psychic abilities. Having known two people who had readings by George, I know he has some sort of ability to be spot on, so that made me even more fascinated by him. It's a book that will leave you wondering and it made me feel a bit better during a very tough time.

I first read this in Feb. 2010 and just re-read it. The short stories are still really good (and a little bizarre).

Những Quy Tắc Trong Cuộc Sống (Sách Bỏ Túi) - Tái bản 09/2011 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Richard Templar

Welcome to the well-known everyday struggle of the majority in finding true love. In "Champagne, Jellybeans, and Chocolate", we enter into the worlds of Royce and Paula. Two high school sweethearts who are unexpectedly reunited one fateful day. Royce immediately begins his pursuit of rekindling the love they once shared; but finds himself intimidated by the obviously high maintenance Paula. He struggles with picking up the pieces of his broken life after tragically losing both of his parents. As his relationship with Paula progresses, Royce is able to pull himself out of his homeless and broke circumstances. In the meantime, he has to compete with the high rollers trying to buy Paula's love and fears losing her to the "good life". Not only does he have to deal with the high rollers, he also has to figure out a way to fix things once Paula finds out he hasn’t been truthful about his living situation. Will true love prevail, or will the “good” life win over Paula’s heart? The first thing that caught my attention was the title of this book. I wondered how Taylor came up with such a unique title. After reading the book, I realized it was absolutely perfect. I love the meaning behind the title as it holds sentimental value between the main characters. I enjoyed reading this book and am thoroughly impressed with Taylor's ability to tie all of the characters together. This made for a good read and brilliant twists. The characters were also well-developed and easy to relate to. Despite the slight editing issues, the story was still an emotional and heart-tugging one. Romance novel fans will definitely fall very much in love with this story. In my opinion, "Champagne, Jellybeans, and Chocolate" stands out from other romance novels because the storyline wasn't overly predictable. The twists kept my pages turning! I am certainly looking forward to RL Taylor's future literary works. He's got the creative gift! 4 Stars Reviewed and Edited By: Kenya Mack

The first two chapters were intriguing and interesting. I must say that I was drawn to the mysterious "Mother" Yackle and Mr. Boss (keeper of the Clock of the Time Dragon); to the cowardly lion Brrr and his search for his identity; and to the unknown Illianora. But the next chapters were a task to read. Boooooring. I was actually tempted to skip chapters and just read how it ends. But I didn't. So don't!! Anyway, the last two chapters was a blast. Magic. Revelations. And everything that'd make you smile. Yeah, Gregory Maguire is awesome. Lol. Bawi! I hope the next book is better.

Tử Thư Tây Hạ - Tập 1: Mộ Người Sống Thần Bí Trong Tử Thư Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

One thing that always takes me back to my childhood days is a yummy grilled cheese sandwich. I remember coming home from an outing at the beach and my mom making grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of potato chips. There are times in life when you want the comfort of those childhood memories, but in a more grown up fashion. That is exactly where this book comes in. While reading through these recipes and looking at all the pictures of the ooey gooey sanwiches, I definitely got hungry. So for lunch today, my sister and I decided on trying one of the recipes out. We went for the Chips and Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was out of this world! Besides the recipes, she has some great pointers on how to make your grilled cheese sandwiches the best. The ones my mom used to make, she would just put a slice of cheese on the bread. Laura explains that shredded cheese melts much better and gives it a much nicer consistency. I also found out that this is Laura’s second grilled cheese cookbook. I will definitely be getting her first one. In conjunction with the Wakela's World Disclosure Statement, I received a product in order to enable my review. No other compensation has been received. My statements are an honest account of my experience with the brand. The opinions stated here are mine alone.

Mạnh Mẽ Và Cô Độc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Shamin

The Amulet of Samarkand (2003) is the first book in Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy. This trilogy has the unique honor of having been banned in its entirety for the books' presentations of the occult. They also feature magnificent cover art by Melvyn Grant (who also has a ridiculously clever website). For many readers, that would be enticement enough. I didn't know about the book banning, but the cover art and blurb pushed it onto my ever-increasing "to read" list. A recommendation from a trusted YA librarian pushed it over the top. Nathaniel, one of the novel's main characters, lives in London. Like most large cities, many of London's movers and shakers are to be found in government positions of influence. What most people don't know is that these powerful men and women get up to more than politicking when behind closed doors. They all have power, certainly, but very little (none depending on who you ask) belongs to them. Not permanently at least. Working in obscurity, under strict rules of engagement (with stricter punishments should something go awry), demons are the real power behind London's elite. Nathaniel is six when he is torn away from his birth parents and sent to live with his new master, another magician. As in many fantasy novels, the power of naming plays an important role here. Demons are summoned with the knowledge of their real names. If you know the demon's real name, you can control them. Similarly, if a demon learns the true name of a magician (in this case their given name) the demon has the same level of control. No magician knows their true name in order to avoid just that kind of problem. By the age of eleven, Nathaniel has adjusted to his life as an apprentice and eagerly anticipates two events: the day when he will pick his name as a magician, and the day he will become a great magician, like his idol William Gladstone, remembered by all. Nathaniel does choose his name in due time, but his dream of greatness, is put into serious question when Simon Lovelace, a prestigious magician, publicly humiliates Nathaniel. Enraged, Nathaniel bides his time learning spells and waiting until the day he will be ready to exact revenge. Enter Bartimaeus, the novel's other main character, and a djinni with a fondness for footnotes in his first-person narration. Initially summoned as an instrument of revenge, Nathaniel soon learns that Bartimaeus is not easily contained. When Nathaniel's brilliant revenge becomes murder, espionage and conspiracy djinni and boy strike an uneasy detente to see if both of them can survive the machinations Bartimaeus has set in motion under Nathaniel's orders. The Amulet of Samarkand alternates viewpoints, sometimes being told in witty first-person by Bartimaeus (filled with references to his 5000 year career as a brilliant djinni), other times following Nathaniel in a third-person voice. Combined, the narrations make for an original fantasy that is witty and sharp. More interesting, especially as the trilogy continues, is the dynamic between Nathaniel and Bartimaeus. While the djinni is more entertaining of the two, Nathaniel is often more compelling. Watching him mature from an innocent boy to a calculating magician in his own right, Stroud creates tension as readers are forced to wonder will Nathaniel be a villain or a hero by the end of the story?
