it was a little weird by okay held my attention until almost then end then it seemed a little rushed....like it just wanted to be over with because it didnt know where to take the story
It's been many years since I read this, but I remember it being like a swim in a cold river. You emerge from it cleaner, stronger, and just-all-around better than when you went in.
I had heard of this book for years, so decided to get it from the library. It is not the kind of book you read from cover to cover. I was particularly interested in the food preservation, oddments and herb sections. This is a book about self-sufficient living, so it also has interesting things like a diagram of a hog with an X placed exactly where you should shoot it. I also enjoyed the recipes for pickled pig's feet and scrapple, amont others. This would be a great book to own, if you actually were living a "homesteading" lifestyle.
This book was terrible. The story would probably be okay, but the author is an extremely weak writer. I couldn't get past all the adverbs the author used to describe dialogue tags. In 1-2 pages she uses tartly, firmly, apologetically, drily, nervously, incredulously...etc. JUST SAY SAID! There's no need to add an 'LY' word. Sometimes a character can just "say" something! I had to give up. It was a lot worse than some of the fan-fiction I've read over the years. Did this just get published because of the Twi/vampire craze? I NEVER FINISHED. ZERO STARS IF COULD

All the descriptions of snow and the scientific aspect in the novel made it an interesting read.
A very quick read. Nothing spectacular.
When Rhoda Janzen's life imploded a few years back (her husband, Nick, left her for a man named Bob that he found online and she was injured in a serious car accident), she headed home to California to spend time with her parents in the Mennonite community she left many years before. It turns out that you can go home again and the result is some pretty funny creative non-fiction pieces. Janzen's essays explore her relationships--with her family, with her ex-husband, and with her Mennonite roots. There are laugh out loud moments and also some incredibly heart-breaking ones as well. Like Haven Kimmel, Janzen mines her childhood for comic and embarrassment-filled gold and her affection/bewilderment with Mennonite culture comes through clearly. The last chapter in the book, "A Mennonite History Primer" is a hoot (but surprisingly educational). I will never look at those little lace hats or Borsht the same way again.
Stephenie Meyers' use of discription is above most else I have read. You are quickly drawn into the feelings and emotions of the characters. It's as if I could feel, taste, smell and see everything that was happening.

I am currently reading The Friendship Test by Elizabeth Noble. The Friendship Test Elizabeth Noble Chic Lit 437 pages One late wine- and gossip-fueled night, four friends on a lark create a fateful test of friendship -- one that challenges the very principles and boundaries of their alliance. To pass it means to never, at any cost, betray one another. Twenty years later, they must face that ultimate test. We meet them at the dawn of their camaraderie in the 1980s and already each woman is distinguished from the other: Tamsin, the compassionate mother hen; Reagan, the brazen and clever overachiever; Sarah, the seemingly perfect beauty; and Freddie, who despite being far from her U.S. home, finds strength in her friends. We forward to today, and as promised they are still firm friends . . . that is until a crisis occurs and the principles that define their friendship test are challenged. Exquisitely rendered by Elizabeth Noble, The Friendship Test is a powerful testament to the depth and capacity of female relationships.
I liked this book every bit as well as I remembered. It's as layered as an onion, complex, full of satisfying and memorable characters deployed in a world that's rich and believable. The magic is well-thought out. There are plot twists in plenty- as there should be when there's a dispossessed Prince in a band of itinerant musicians. There are brave and noble women with complicated lives. Beyond the well-told story, though, what this book seems to me to be is an exploration of loyalty and honor and what one can do when rebellion seems impossible. The plot device- a sorcerer takes away the ability for people not born in a town to hear or speak the former name of the town- calls to mind the schools for Native Americans wherein the kids were prevented from speaking their own language, from learning their own culture, and as such it's a pretty profound meditation on the human spirit.
