books about: beach     books:       Off Season44 reviews Anne Rivers Siddons Grand Central Publishing, 2008 One of ARS best I have read all of ARS books, starting with Downtown about 15 years ago. What I want to know is who the writers of the other reviews have been reading? Off Season was a trip back to Mrs. Siddons original style of writing. All of her books have an ending that leave you wondering and using your imagination to fill in the blanks (Peachtree Road, Colony, & The House Next Door to name a few). As ...             Love the One You're With248 reviews Emily Giffin St. Martin's Press, 2008 Not quite great, but pretty darn good Love the One You're With falls a little short of the lofty heights that Giffin achieved with her first three books, but it is still an utterly enjoyable and sneakily thought-provoking book. The story is much simpler than Giffin's first books, all about a woman who is unexpectedly caught between two men. The book is an interesting and often touching look at how and why we decide to be with the ...             The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood6 reviews Helene Cooper Simon & Schuster, 2008 Going Home Through the Pages of a Book. Ms. Cooper's story is, in so very many ways, my story, too. I grew up in Liberia, a "second-class" American because we were missionaries and not American Embassy personnel. My years at the American Cooperative School overlapped hers; I had the same first grade teacher as her little sister. I bought ice cream at Sophie's (mind the flies!) and ate hamburgers at Diana's. How many times I drove ...             The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss (The ...722 reviews Arthur Agatston St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003 WOW!!! What: South Beach Diet Start Date: 6/30/2008 Beginning weight: 256 lbs Today's Date: 8/31/2008 Current weight: 224 lbs TOTAL POUNDS LOST: 32 lbs in 2 mos. I heard of the SBD many years ago when it was first introduced. Like every other fad diet, I dismissed it without even giving it a second glance. "They never work," I said, and went about my happy carb-filled and FAT life. I have always ...             The Beach House129 reviews Jane Green Viking Adult, 2008 Great read Really enjoyed this book. Easy to read, you will want to know what happens next.             The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook: 200 Delicious Recipes Ready in 30 Minutes or Less (The South ...147 reviews Arthur Agatston Rodale Books, 2005 great cookbook for eating healthy in general despite of the diet's name (south beach= very superficial) this diet is great for ANYONE, it's just about eating healthy for life. I wouldn't call it a diet...but should be a lifestyle. Great cooking ideas with very simple ingredients that make healthy and delicious food.             The South Beach Diet Cookbook (The South Beach Diet)90 reviews Arthur Agatston Rodale Books, 2004 Now that's what I like - diet recipes that are also tasty! The recipe book and its companion paperback guide make it easy to sort out where all the "sugar" and "fats" are hidden in the prepared foods at the grocery store so you can make healthy decisions according to your own needs. The recipes are good - some a bit too fancy for our tastes - but all can me modified with the foods and spices on the lists that you like. We've also found several new ...             The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life64 reviews Arthur Agatston, Joseph Signorile Rodale Books, 2008 It Works! It's not so much the book, but the diet. The book is an easy read that answers all your questions about the diet. Also I found the exercise program very helpful. As a construction worker and a parent on the go all the time I found the meals were hard to prepare. You need to adapt to the foods allowed and not allowed group. Overall...it works. I have been on this diet for one month and have lost ...             Suite Francaise369 reviews Irene Nemirovsky Vintage, 2007 Suite Francaise It is a shame we will never be able to read the entire body of work Irene Namirovske had planned. I enjoyed reading the first two parts and also felt the two appendices were valuable. The first indicated Namirovsky's plan for her 5 part Suite. The second were the frantic and poignant letters that were sent in a vain attempt to save her life.             The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2009 (Unofficial Guides)11 reviews Bob Sehlinger, Len Testa Wiley, 2008 Outstanding Guide Book As the writer of Walt Disney World® with Disabilities I wanted to show my support for this fantastic guide book. I have to agree with every last thing Julie Neal, author of The Complete Walt Disney World said in her review. I also wanted to share some of the other things we love about this book. As Julie pointed out, some may think that our book is in competition with the Unofficial Guide ...             The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook (The South Beach Diet)38 reviews Arthur Agatston Rodale Books, 2007 Good recipes Four years ago we did the South Beach diet. I lost 30 pounds which I have been able to keep off for these four years. My wife did't do quite as well, but she has always felt better and had fewer incidents of acid stomach using these recipes. We constantly return to the diet because we feel better, but one of the problems of the early diet was the lack of nice and easy recipes. The first week ...             The South Beach Diet Good Fats/Good Carbs Guide (Revised): TheComplete and Easy Reference for All Your ...71 reviews Arthur Agatston Rodale Books, 2005 BEST BOOK THis is the ONLY book you need to start losing weight!! I LOVE it. It is very simple to follow and if you don't care how or why South Beach works- you just want to lose weight- this is the book for you!!! The diet really does work and it's so easy - after the first week! Plus the South Beach foods are real KRAFT products! I've continued to lose on phases 2 and 3!!!!!!             Remember Me?187 reviews Sophie Kinsella The Dial Press, 2008 GREAT Read! I realize after reading this book how great of an author Sophie Kinsella is. I loved this book and was actually sad when I finished it. The characters are great, the story was wonderful and so much fun. A MUST read!             Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond (Oahu Revisited)116 reviews Andrew Doughty Wizard Publications Inc., 2007 Highly Recommend I highly recommend this series of guidebooks. This guy really knows what he's talking about. We used the book for Oahu and for Kauai. Never got lost, found everything he talked about. Great books.             Barefoot: A Novel41 reviews Elin Hilderbrand Back Bay Books, 2008 Fresh and breezy. Elin Hilderbrand has written a novel of life that still endures even when faced with adversities. Vicki is afflicted with lung cancer but manages to find strength in her love for her two young sons. Her sister Brenda places her future at stake when she succumbs to a night of passion. The two sisters, accompanied by their friend Melanie set off for a summer of forgetful nights in an Nantucket ...             On Chesil Beach203 reviews Ian Mcewan Anchor, 2008 Sublime...my choice for the Booker last year Ian McEwan is the only contemporary fiction writer today with the talent and the craft to transform what in lesser hands might pass for a rather slight novella into a tremulous, gorgeously detailed work of art. "On Chesil Beach" may be less ambitious in its scope than McEwan's earlier masterpieces such as "Atonement" but it is no less satisfying for the effect it strives to achieve. McEwan isn't ...             The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever68 reviews Mark Frost Hyperion, 2007 The best book on golf competition I have ever read. In The Greatest Game Ever Played, Mark Frost provides a brilliant account of 20-year-old Francis Ouimet's 18-hole playoff victory over Britons Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the 1913 U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, where Ouimet once caddied. That said, I think his account of an 18-hole match at Cypress Point Golf Club on the Monterey Peninsula (just before the annual ...             Good in Bed759 reviews Jennifer Weiner Washington Square Press, 2002 My Favorite! I love Cannie Shapiro in this novel! She is brilliant and has an awesome personality. I highly suggest reading this book, you won't be able to put it down... when you finish, you will want to read the sequel!             Certain Girls: A Novel153 reviews Jennifer Weiner Atria, 2008 I missed the Shapiro's-a great addition to the family I love Jennifer Weiner's funny, flawed characters. I was so excited to see this book I bought it in hardback and proceeded to read it during the first week of summer break even with my kids out of school! I had missed Cannie and crew. I enjoyed catching up with her 13 years later, and again exploring family relationships this time with her in the role of a mother to a teenage girl. Weiner ...             Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)82 reviews David Wiesner Clarion Books, 2006 In the eye of the mind... David Wiesner is the Stephen King of illustrated children's books: off-kilter, weird, and supernatural. However, Wiesner underlies all he draws with humor, joy, spunk. He has won the Caldecott Gold Medal three times, for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and "Flotsam." This is what is written on the front book flap: "Flotsam: Something that floats. If it floats in the ocean, it may wash up on the ...              search for books african, barefoot, caldecott, certain, changed, chesil, childhood, cookbook, delicious, designed, doctor-designed, favorite, flotsam, foolproof, forever, francaise, healthy, honolulu, minutes, recipes, reference, remember, revealed, revised, revisited, supercharged, thecomplete, ultimate, unofficial, waikiki books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
