Sống Tối Giản Để Hạnh Phúc Hơn! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Karen Alexander

Originally posted at: http://whippedcream2.blogspot.com/201... “He knew he really should not be looking at his friend’s butt.” I don’t see why not, nothing like a nice backside to motivate a person. Oh poo! Can a reviewer say that? I don’t know, but this reviewer found herself fanning her face and saying it a lot while reading this book. As a fan of Mr. Grey’s work I was prepared when I started reading Dutch Treat by making sure I had a box of Kleenex in case I needed them. I have yet to read one of his books without crying! He always makes me tear up and laugh with all the emotions that pour out of the characters and this book is no exception. When I read this book, I was so involved in the writing that I felt like a friend hearing about the wild courtship dance of Michael and Stephan. I loved that Michael had to pull up roots and move to another country because of his job. Losing his lover because he is not willing to wait for his return put Michael on guard. He was hesitant about taking a lover in the Netherlands. Knowing that he was only going to be there a short time was a road block in the love affair I could understand but it didn’t stop me from praying throughout the story that he would find a Happy Ever After at the end. The emotional pull was strong and the story was great It was definitely worth reading, and will become a permanent addition to my library for sure. Truly a beautiful love story but not without a “homophobic weasel”, plus fear, tears, heartaches, and laughter that kept me reading late into the night.

Cổ Tích Việt Nam - Cậu Bé Tích Chu Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

After this most recent reread, I’m knocking the book down a star. Not that I still don’t absolutely love this book, but compared to some of Neil Gaiman’s other work, it almost reaches that level, but just misses by a few feet. Stardust is a fantasy novel that knows it’s a fantasy novel and pokes at that fact repeatedly. I wouldn’t call it a satire, because while it does parody certain tropes in fairy tales and fantasy, there’s a deep homage to them. I love the settings of Wall and Faerie, and the nostalgic feel that Gaiman invokes. I know that he’s mentioned about doing more with his version of Faerie, and it really comes across that it’s a fully realized world with thousands of stories to tell. And while Wall is described as being this plain little town, there’s enough emotion and familiarity infused into that it does feel like the sort of little town a hero would be from. Although I find him adorable, as heroes go, Tristran’s fairly bland. He’s not seemingly special, there’s no real thrilling heroics involved in his adventures, and he gets by with a little bit of luck. He is a quick think, particular in the scene at the inn, but aside from those few moments, he pretty much embodies the role of Designated Hero. (Although I do like his fanboying penny dreadfuls and adventure books.) Yvaine does fall into the trap of Designated Heroine, but I liked that she was quick-witted and frustrated with her situation. She does feel like a commentary on women in fairy tales—dragged around by the hero at will while everyone’s trying to get her because, well, she’s the heroine. (Well, a star in this case, but you get the point.) Yvaine doesn’t do much either throughout the plot, but I like that she’s snappy. And this is where I have my problem with the book. Most of the plot follows Tristran and Yvaine finding each other and going back to Wall, and evading the witch-queen and Septimus. But, just as the book’s wrapping up, it’s mentioned that they have fantastic adventures that covers a grand total of one page in my copy. And while I understand that these other adventures aren’t a part of the main story, it kinda bugs me when I’m reading about more interesting stuff that gets glossed over. The other…nitpick, if you will, about this book is that the supporting cast really outshines Tristran and Yvaine. I adore the airship adventures of Captain Alberic and his crew; I love the little hairy dwarf who’s known as “Charmed” (especially that he’s the only one to say to Tristran “You’re an idiot.”) While the Lords of Stormhold are definitely not nice people, I still enjoyed their storyline, especially as it starts to entwine with Tristran’s story. And their ghosts are hysterical. I wish there had been a little more done with the witch-queens and their ‘defeat,’ but they still made for good villains. (Also, the zombie unicorn is one of the creepiest things that I’ve ever read.) If there’s one thing that Gaiman pulls off brilliantly, it’s his plotting, as always. The set-up involving the slave girl and her relation to the majority of the characters is worked in subtly, so when the big revelation of who she is and what the riddle means, it feels natural. The riddle in the book does make perfect sense in context, but it’s still misleading the first few times its mentioned. He doesn’t rely on glaringly obvious plot points, they appear slowly, resulting in a gradual reveal. And it’s just a fun book to read. As much as I go on about how creepy Neil Gaiman can get, Stardust is such a departure from his other work, and still manages to be enjoyable. I’ve always had a grin on my face each time I’ve read it, and this reread was no different.

Khai Mở Thiền Tâm Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

This was an amazing book, that was written from the perspective of a mom dealing with two sons who have autism, and one son who is neurotypical. She was honest and truly provided an insight into the joys and frustration of livng with three boys who are all very different. As a teacher and mom who is not dealing with autism 24/7 I needed to hear this perspective.

Những Câu Chuyện Khuyến Khích Trẻ Giao Tiếp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trương Khiết Mi

Amazing book, a little hard to follow in the beginning (as someone may know haha) but super interesting concept. I'm sure the movie won't be half as good as most movie adaptations aren't, but if they remain close to the book I don't see how it could be bad. I thought the concept was super fresh, I loved the love story and how tender he was with her and how he protected her until he knew that it was time for her to know the truth. The disturbing part about the boy that like ambushed her was so strong but I thought that justice was served. I really liked this book, definitely recommend it!

I didn't know much, if anything, about leprosy before reading this book. I didn't even know that there was a leper colony in Hawaii. The character in the book, Rachel, is so likeable and so human. It is heart-breaking at times and at other times, heart-warming. I really, really loved this book.

This is my current must-read recommendation. I was floored by Ferris' whole concept - it was so original and so stunning in its presentation that I read it in awe of him. I laughed at the office antics and was touched by the twist/end of it. I really can't say enough positive things about the book. Read it now!

Very personal and authentic account of struggles one may face after losing sight. The internal battle to accept blindness reveals that no one is prepared for such an event. Hull touched me with his relationship to the children, he portrays a father who tries to fulfill his role but knows it will not come easily.
