Thế Giới Cổ Tích Cho Bé Yêu - Chú Nai BamBi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I read this book at night and would find myself dreaming of royal courts and palaces, persian rugs, silks and muslin draperies, jewels, and lavishness of colour and light. The book is based on the historical life of Empress Nur Jahan of the Mughal Empire. She became a powerful empress in a time when women were veiled and unheard, not to be seen outside of their harem. It recounts her life after her marriage to Emperor Jahangir, until her death. The book is long and detailed, but never boring and always colourful. I'm glad I took my friend's advice and read it!

Tiger And Wolf - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Currently reading The Namesake, roughly 80 percent through the novel. I am thoroughly enjoying it thus far and looking forward to see it to its conclusion. Lahiri's writing style and prose is the equivalent of listening to opera, so smooth and beautiful. The Namesake is a wonderful story. I saw the movie over the long weekend, it followed the book pretty well and was well done and casted. I wonder how folks who haven't read the book felt about it....

Ươm Mầm Nhận Thức Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

** spoiler alert ** Having decided to read horror books exclusively throughout October, as I did last year, when I finished my last book I had a few days before I could officially start the haunted celebrations. I needed a quick read, so I grabbed the latest in my go-to quickie series: Richard Stark's Parker. The Parker novels are quick, fun reads, the perfect way to fill up time between scheduled reading (which isn't to lessen their worth by any means; being short and sweet is part of their charm). But, here I am on the 29th of September with two days to kill before beginning my trek through the macabre. The Rare Coin Score is possibly the best Parker caper yet, and I read it faster than I had anticipated. This time, Parker becomes involved with a plot to rob a rare coin convention, but the most interesting part of this book is that Parker does something we never thought possible: he falls in love. Well, okay, maybe not quite love (it's still Parker we're talking about). But just the same, something is strange in Parkerville. Spoilers follow... When the novel begins, Parker is out of sorts. He's sleeping with woman after woman, but it never seems to satisfy him. Deciding that getting back to work may bring him out of his funk, he gets in touch with his go-between to the underworld, Handy McKay, and gets connected to the robbery of the title. But during the introductory process, he meets Claire. And he likes her. A lot. Parker begins doing something he never does: having sex during a job. It was a steadfast rule with him in the past; he remained celibate during the planning and execution of a robbery, and afterwards he found a woman and celebrated for a while. But he desires Claire and cannot wait until the job is over. He tries to reason it away, saying he's doing it to keep her satisfied and focused on the score, but he knows that's not true. During the planning stage, the setup and the score itself, he instructs her on the proper way to be a criminal, and while he does so harshly at times (well, all the time, really), there is a hint of affection as well. He also remarks that he hasn't wanted a woman the way he wants Claire since his late wife, Lynn. I hesitate to call it love, however. He slaps Claire a couple of times when she freezes during the robbery (which, as always, goes wrong). True, it was to save her life, but he could've probably handled it better. When he's offered sex by a female hostage, he takes it without seeming to even think of Claire. And, most damning of all, he contemplates killing her when it seems she may go to the police and tell them everything to ease her conscience. He says he really doesn't want to, which is a small step for Parker (who, when he kills, does it coldly and efficiently, as he does every other part of a job), but it's not quite what I'd call love. Still, he clearly has feelings for Claire and wants to be with her beyond the robbery. He's not sure for how long, but he wants to find out. He even arranges it so that she'll be cleared of any wrongdoing in the crime, and while there is a certain amount of self-interest at play (if they get to her, they can get to him), he also seems to genuinely want to spare her from a life she doesn't want. Their agreement, that he would keep his work separate from his relationship with her, is one I look forward to Stark exploring down the line. And the ending, where he waits in his car outside the hotel where they agreed to meet to make sure she hasn't alerted the police, is really kind of sweet. He's hoping she hasn't betrayed him, not just so he doesn't have to run but because he wants her to want to be with him the way he wants to be with her. For all the mocking he did of Billy (who also desired Claire), Parker is in the same exact boat. He just doesn't show it because he's too badass for that. Who'd have guessed Parker had a heart? The actual plot is great too. Once again, Parker is dealing with a team of clashing personalities, each of whom he has to keep in check. And, inevitably, someone will betray the group and try to make off with the loot. I was genuinely surprised at who it was, though. I was suspecting Mainzer (as was everyone, I imagine), or maybe Billy in a bout of jealousy, but bringing French back to try to hijack the score was brilliant. I thought he was being saved for another novel, particularly because Parker respected him so much. He turned out to be one of Parker's better adversaries. The Rare Coin Score was a real treat. Not only a good plot, but a rare insight into Parker's personality. It even humanizes him without betraying his character. Of course the series should be read from the beginning (this book would have much less impact on someone who didn't know Stark's Parker from Peter Parker), but the ninth Parker book is a real highlight. Now, to find some magazines until October 1st.

Sailor Moon - Tập 5 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Naoko Takeuchi

Good read from the perspective of a teenager killed by a murderer. The very different premise of this book makes it interesting. Although it could be morbid, it actually doesn't seem morbid when you're reading it (at least I didn't find it morbid). Some friends have said that they couldn't read it because of the subject. However, I enjoyed the read because it was a very different way of looking at a horrid topic.

Did not like this book at all, am glad it was a free advance copy. The characters are so self involved it was hard to like any of them or care about their lives. It seemed to be trying to captialize on the success of 'Sex and the City', but missed, in my opinion.

Công Nghệ Thông Tin - Định Hướng Học Tập, Nghiên Cứu Và Phát Triển Nghề Nghiệp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Mạnh Hà

Originally posted here I have never hidden my love of Stephanie Perkin’s books and when I was in the middle of a reading slump I knew exactly what would help me: Lola and the Boy Next Door. What was funny about this book was how much I forgot about Lola and of course that makes me laugh. How could I forget these characters? Lola and the Boy Next Door is a story about, obviously, Lola and another character: San Francisco. Since I just visited San Francisco there were so many parts of this story that stuck out for me this round of reading it: The Japanese Tea Garden, Mission Delores Park, the city itself. Lola’s life is going well. She lives with her dads, she’s enjoying her boyfriend, Max, her job and her coworker named Anna. What Lola does not expect is her old neighbors, the Bell’s, to come back into her life. One thing I constantly love about Perkin’s books is the sneaks of other characters, from Anna to St. Clair they all came back and helped to answer those unanswered questions. Cricket and Calliope are the twins from next door. They are close as twins generally are. What Calliope never liked was how Lola took Cricket from her. She’s protective of him and Calliope is very much the alpha twin and changed Lola’s life. It’s a painful scene and a painful part about Cricket being in Calliope’s shadow for multiple years. Lola goes from spending most of her life loving Cricket, to loathing him, to seeing him as a friend. The begin to talk again, they begin to go back to that friendship as they had as children, but better. Stronger. But there is still Max, the annoying boyfriend. While Lola spent years trying to move on from Cricket, Cricket has not moved on from Lola. He still likes Lola. Nothing has changed for him. Everything has changed for Lola though. She’s grown up. She’s dating Max. She’s a stronger different Lola, but to Cricket, she’s exactly the same. It’s also painful when the characters make poor life choices because I want to shake them, but that’s something powerful about YA books that I love. Stephanie Perkin’s books are like coming home for me. Throughout Anna, Lola, and Isla all three characters I related to and adored. A re-read of Lola was just what I needed.
