** spoiler alert ** Paradise Valley is the seventh addition to the Virgin River series and I was really looking forward to it. It follows the story of Rick, after he is injured in Iraq and how he pushes those he loves the most away including his long-time girlfriend Liz who must decide if she'll follow her heart and pursue him or let him go as he asks of her. Paradise Valley also continues the story of Cameron and Abby from where it left off in Temptation Ridge as they try to get beyond their rough beginning and re-introduces us to two old characters as they try to get beyond their troubled pasts and begin to grow closer. We also catch up on the progress of Walt & Muriel's relationship and reunite with favorite Virgin River characters like Jack, Mel, Preacher, Paige, Brie, etc. While I still loved and enjoyed this new Virgin River installment, I have to admit it did seem to contain a lot of filler having to do with expounding on relationships and people I didn't really care about yet simultaneosly skimping on those I did (like Brie & Mike- that now makes three books that have barely talked about them in personal detail!). Another thing that bothered me was that only one small scene was told from the P.O.V of Liz, one of my favorite characters; I thought the book would have focused way more on Rick & Liz's relationship (since that was how it was described on the back cover) but the book dealt more with Cameron & Abby, Walt & Muriel, Dan & Cheryl, and Rick & Jack. Also, Paradise Valley didn't have that much romance at all; there were only two detailed romantic scenes-one was a fantasy and the other was very vague and fuzzy. Despite my gripes, however, overall, I did enjoy Paradise Valley but I do find I'm a little disappointed with the last three Virgin River installments (Second Chance Pass, Temptation Ridge , and Paradise Valley). But, overall, I'd still recommend them for fun, entertaining reads.

Ehon - Thực Phẩm Tâm Hồn Cho Bé - Thỏ Có Thể Làm Được Thôi! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Sirilug Puthakote

Of the triumvirate of Alexandrian literary giants of the early twentieth century - Constantine Cavafy, E. M. Forster, and Lawrence Durrell - Cavafy is perhaps the guardian spirit. His poetry provides the capstone to Forster's Alexandria: A History and a Guide, and is present both as invoked persona ("the old poet of the city") and fictionalized character (Balthazar) in Durrell's Alexandria Quartet. Cavafy's presence also haunts Michael Haag's evocative Alexandria: City of Memory. Though the book focuses on the Alexandria of Forster and Durrell, the photograph of Cavafy's melancholy face seems to stare through every page, and his poem "The City," used as epigraph, imbues the text with nostalgia. The image Haag describes of Cavafy at twilight opening or closing shutters, "adjusting the fall of light on his guests," aptly describes Haag's approach to his material, illuminating the sojourns of Forster and Durrell in this city. Both Forster and Durrell were cast into Alexandria by wars: Forster came as a Red Cross "searcher" in World War I, interviewing wounded soldiers to ascertain the whereabouts of the missing; Durrell fled the Nazi invasion of Greece. In Alexandria both found the loves that, if not the most inspiring of happiness, nevertheless provided the foundation for some of their greatest writing. Forster fell in love with a tram conductor, Mohammed al Adl, and their tenuous, fraught relationship is movingly recounted in Forster's long "letter," never sent, and continued after Mohammed's death at twenty-three from consumption. Their relationship, transformed, underlies Forster's acclaimed A Passage to India, informing both Dr. Aziz's friendship with Fielding, and the misunderstandings between Aziz and Adela Quested. Perhaps the most strangely stirring image in Haag's book is the tattered photograph of Mohammed that Forster kept with him to the end of his life, preserved only because he had taped a tram ticket to the reverse side. The eponymous central character of Durrell's Justine is based on his second wife, the Alexandrian Jew Eve Cohen. They met at a party, where she terrified and entranced Durrell with her voluble eagerness and puckish beauty. Eve was involved with an Austrian Jew who didn't feel he could trust her, and Durrell had recently ended his first marriage, so they initially discussed their difficult love lives. But when Eve left her family, it was to Durrell that she turned; they were soon lovers, and then married. Their relationship, lopsided, passionate, scarred by violence, is evoked in Haag's book through Durrell's letters, the memories of friends, and interviews with Eve Durrell. A host of minor characters fills out the book, which is assiduously researched, lucidly written, and accompanied by a trove of photographs that bring to life this fleeting, fascinating epoch of Alexandria's history.

I love this book. I know it's Atwood's first novel and not as seamless as her other works, but I think I like it more because of that.

This just may be one of my favorites of the chronicles. I love the story of growth, and have grown to love the characters so much. I loved finding out more about Aslan's land and the whole world of Narnia. It was a great story.

I really like Dave Barry's humorous Christmas Book....but this book about music and lyrics wasn't very good and a bit too silly for me.

This is arguably the first fictional novel ever written. It just had it's 1000th year anniversary! Murasaki is a passionate writer even for our time. I can only imagine what the critics were saying 1000 years ago! It's a Japanese love story with all the horror and degradation that goes with it. Fascinating cultural perspective.

Conventional novel but what gave it something extra was the detailed information given about the spanish Civil war and the following years. Also it gave a good description of every day life in that period in a very convincing way. The author's sympathy is obviously obvious but that's probably also because of it's conventional style, a little more distance had probably made it a better book but commercially less interesting. The author's choice was clear, for that reason an over emphasis on the love story.

I get the biggest kick out of Flavia and would love to know this child. This second book of the series seemed a little slow at first but has a very creepy ending. Looking forward to the third!

I don't think Brizendine presents anything in this book that hasn't been thoroughly debunked elsewhere. As science, it's crap.
