Nghĩ Ngợi Đường Xa Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thị Hậu

See the original review here: http://mystiparker.blogspot.com/2012/... In a word: WOW. I stumbled upon Renee Vincent quite by accident online, and after discovering she was a fellow Kentucky gal AND wrote historical romance, I had to purchase the first two books in her Emerald Isle Trilogy. It took a while for me to finally get to Book One in my reading list, and I'm so glad I did. It had been a while since I'd read a historical romance, especially one set in 10th century Ireland. I can't claim to be a history buff, but every detail, from Viking customs to speech patterns rang true. The writing is exquisite, and the characters grew on me, even most of the support cast, whose numbers weren't scanty. The story begins with young Mara, an Irish princess who has caught the eye of Daegan Raeliksen, son of a Nordic king. It's love at first sight for Daegan, but not for Mara, who believes that all of his kind are murderous and cruel. He saves her from a horde of his fellow Northmen, whisking her as far from them (and consequently her home) as possible, and deciding that on the way, he'll convince her to fall in love with him and make her his wife. Their journey together is one of extreme peril, betrayal, and war in the midst of their compelling and heart-wrenching romance. You can't read this book and NOT be rooting for this couple to find peace at last. The love scenes between them were simply beautiful, becoming bolder as the two of them explored their shared passions. Daegan was wonderfully cast as both hardened warrior and tender lover when it came to Mara. Even though she was young and naive, she brought out the best in him. Especially endearing to me was how she encouraged him to finally embrace the faith of her God and let go of the violent nature of his pagan gods. As any man worth respecting, he was also devoted to his family, particularly his mother and younger brother. I got pretty teary-eyed on a few scenes he shared with them. The only issues I had with the book were pretty minor. Within some scenes, the point-of-view changed from one character to the next abruptly, which was a little jarring until I got used to it. Also, at the very beginning, I wished Daegan had more incentive to fall for Mara other than her just being young and pretty while she rode her horse by the River Shannon. She did grow from naive princess to a strong woman by the time the story was over, which pleased me greatly. I have to say, there were points that I ranted and raved, laughed, cried, and pounded my fist on the table. But, I won't offer spoilers, because you just have to experience Raeliksen for yourself. I'll be reading the next two in the series, MacLiam and The Fall of Rain as soon as I can. I highly recommend this book for any historical romance fans out there, particularly if you enjoy Irish/Nordic settings. It won't disappoint! ~Mysti Parker www.mystiparker.blogspot.com

Bé Nhận Biết Môi Trường Xung Quanh - Rau Củ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Can I acknowledge this book’s many flaws and still say that I loved it all the same? I thought the first half of the book, pre-shipwreck, was stronger than the second half. It was more epic in scope as well, with three-toed sloths, and zoos, and alpha males, and curries, and childhood anxieties, all thrown in with a little religion and politics. I loved Richard Parker, just as Pi learned to and I also depended on him to keep the story real, even in the face of French chefs, teeth fruit, and meerkats. I didn’t always agree with the narrator’s insistency that zoos were a place an animal could feel at home (remember the swaying Polar Bear and the Gorilla eating its own vomit at Como, Mara?) or that only psychology and dominance – not abuse – goes into the training of circus animals, and I did not always agree with the author’s plot choices, but it did not keep me from enjoying the tense yet gentle story or the beautiful, clear writing. Since I read the book, Richard Parker has haunted me, too. Recommended by my boyfriend.

Apart from a portion of the last quarter dragging (a stay in a particular place and a certain monologue), this book really was amazing. She has brilliant, nuanced observations on individual human behavior/motivation and it's impact on a large scale. Yes, she's an author one comes to with preconceived ideas, but this is very much worth a read and your own evaluation.

Sống Và Suy Ngẫm - Tái bản 06/2012 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: V.N.Kakar

This book was funny in spots, but ultimately absolute fluff. The writer is a little too in love with overwrought similies, in my opinion. And if you've ever worked with manipulative or emotionally cruel people, you can sympathize, but you really, really, really just want to tell him to get a life in the end.

Ping - Vượt Ao Tù Ra Biển Lớn (Song ngữ Anh-Việt) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Stuart Avery Gold

A girl whose mother is absent from her life tries to make sense of her struggle through the eccentric and quirky characters of her hometown, complete with a dog. No, no, it's not "Because of Winn-Dixie 2!" The Higher Power of Lucky is a sweet little story, well-written, and likeable for all ages - despite the slightly familiar plot and controversial references to male anatomy. And it was written by a librarian...all the more reason to like it.
