Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Reverend W Awdry

Tie-in books are something that I have mixed feelings about, particularly ones that are supposed to be “in-universe” books. I’ve read a handful of titles like these, and most of the time, I find them to be not very good, since a lot of the focus is more on “Shout out! Original source reference! Pander to the fanbase! Pander!” Which is why I was surprised that I liked Ransom My Heart so much. It’s set up to be a tie-in with the last Princess Diaries book (as evidenced by the introduction by Meg Cabot), but it feels like an actual book in its own right. A lot of the shout-outs and references to the main series feel more like “Oh, I see what you did there,” instead of being in big, 72 point font so that the reader can notice it. It works because this is a novel by a teenage girl who uses references she knows from her daily life, so I can excuse the obvious references. (And also, I’ve done it in…well, a lot of my own writing.) The story as a whole is actually enjoyable, as well. I don’t classify myself as a traditional romance fan, so reading this was a different experience for me. Sure, a lot of the story is very predictable and relies heavily on the “Slap slap kiss” trope, but the majority of the main characters are likeable and fun. I enjoyed Finnula and Hugo’s back and forth relationship; I liked Hugo as a main love interest, especially his interactions with some of the other characters; and the plot moves quickly and doesn’t drag. It’s a good book that manages to stand on its own from the main series. (When this was first released, I recommended it to several historical romance fans who had never heard of The Princess Diaries outside of the movies.) A very fun read.

This was a fun read. It's time travel, romance, history. It's not earth shattering and in many ways a bit predictable, but I did have trouble putting it down and enjoyed the read a lot. The heroine is Douglass who has come on a vacation to England with the man she hopes is going to propose to her and his bratty daughter. Together this man and his daughter are making her life miserable and then leave her stranded by an old church even taking her luggage, purse and all of her identification. She enters the church crying (she cries a lot in this book, but that is part of the story). Her grief kneeling beside a tomb in the church leads her to saying she needs a Knight in Shining Armor and suddenly there is such a man standing beside her. I know this sounds a little corny and maybe it is, but as I said, this is a fun read, not a serious one. Her grief has called Nicholas Stafford, earl of Thornwyck, across the ages - from 400 years in the past. And he is every bit as shocked as she is to find himself standing there dressed in light armor. When he nearly gets run over by a bus, Douglass forgets her own problems when helping this man she feels must be either a lunatic or an actor who has gotten to far into his role. Thus begins the story where they both discover that in the past he was beheaded and has been portrayed in history as a womanizer as well as a traitor. Nicholas is convinced that somehow he can find proof of his innocence and go back to his time and change the future. Thus they begin on a quest to do so, aided by the extremely valuable "old" coins that Nicholas has with him. Part of the fun of this story is Nicholas discovering the modern world. There are some lessons in it too. He is shocked when Douglass cleans something with a tissue and casually throws it away and even more so when he sees glossy magazines and she tells him that they are "throw-aways". He explains how precious paper is in his time. His delight in simple modern things like running water and shampoo make him fun to read about. Douglass irritated me rather regularly and yet I liked her too. I won't do spoilers, but if you like time travel stories, this will take you back 400 years with Douglass as well as reading about Nicholas coming forward. I laughed in this book and cried too. There is a beautiful forever love theme in here that I am a sucker for. A miniature of him done in the past with "Time has no meaning. Love will endure" on it and a similar one of her with "My soul will find yours" was just too romantic. I have read some reviews where people hated the ending. For me, I was kind of hating it toward the end and was relieved when it ended like it did. Believable, definitely not. It is fiction and a nice piece of fiction at that.

Chiều Mênh Mông Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thị Thụy Vũ

I appreciate Philip Yancey's books because they don't present simple, canned answers. Reading this book I felt like I was in some sense dialoging with a fellow-pilgrim, someone who wrestles with similar issues, someone seeking to understand what it means to have faith in our modern world. I think many people would not enjoy this book. If you are looking for an easy faith and a God that can be summarized in a short list of statements, this book probably isn't for you. But if you wrestle with questions of faith as I do, this book is worth the read.

Thần Thoại Hy Lạp - La Mã Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thu Nga

this is a beautiful book. 88 pages long, 1896. willa cather apparently named this book along with the scarlet letter and the adventures of huckleberry finn as the three soon-to-be-eternal cornerstones of american lit. can't help but notice moby-dick isn't on that short list, which is weird, because while reading this i just kept thinking "wow, this is sort of like moby-dick on land minus all the story and adventure." which i'm not really sure what that means, but hey... this is a great book. it's basically a study of isolation. people who live in isolation either because they want to or simply because living in isolation is what life is all about. and the sorrows and heartaches and joys and consolations entailed in all that. it's one of those small books that seem to swell in your mind as and after you read them. great characters, images, moments. it falters a little before the end, but ends so strong, all's forgiven. i miss mrs. todd, i wish we could go back. but we can't. the boat's left. moving on. our days of writing at the desk in the rented schoolhouse are over.

Loved the setting and the connections to the war and the teenage slang, but the mystery was underwhelming.

Quên Được Cứ Quên Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Duy Quyền

Can't say enough good things about C.J. Box! I've gotten to meet him a couple of times and have been so impressed by how gracious and generous he is with his time to all his fans. Cold Wind's issue (there is one in every book) is wind power, government subsidies, and "skimming". If you are disillusioned with capitalism and suspect that it's all about who you know, not what you know, this book is for you. Best line ever in a book: "Nothing spells trouble like two drunk cowboys with a rocket launcher." Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett have been on the outs since the last book, but a horrible event sends them moving toward each other again. Joe is also in the unenviable position of having to investigate in order to defend his snake-like mother-in-law, Missy. I don't want to give too much away, but this book is twistier than a sidewinder, and will grip you like a grizzly's claws. Just tryin' to get you in the mood- you'll enjoy this one if you're a C.J. Box fan, no doubt, and I'm sure it will win him a lot of new readers.

Đinh Bộ Lĩnh - Dẹp Loạn 12 Sứ Quân Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Đỗ Biên Thùy

I like this comic book, mainly because of it's drawing style. Definitely not an ordinary comic drawing. It's like a compilation of sktetch masterpieces. The story is unique, with the backround of Post-Samurai era in Japan. Manji, the main character of the story, got infected by some magical worm, causing him to be an immortal person. To get his mortality back, he must kill a 1000 of bad guys. Some price for a mortalty huh? :-) I've never know that our mortality could have that much prize. In fact, many people wish for the immortality, not vice versa. :-p
