books about: friends     books:       Easily Amused43 reviews, 2009 entertaining Not great literature, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This is the kind of book you want to read when you have the flu. Nothing depressing, nothing heavy, just an engaging story with some good twists in the plot that will give you a few chuckles. The story is set in Wisconsin, a state where I have spent a lot of time. Karen McQuestion has a good ear for Wisconsin speech and ...             The Big Book of Parenting Solutions: 101 Answers to Your Everyday Challenges and Wildest Worries35 reviews Jossey-Bass, 2009 One of the better ones There are a million parenting books out there, most of which fall into two categories: lengthy prose going into great detail about a few specific areas, and collections of lighter anecdotes and suggestions covering a wide variety of subjects. The former can be a chore for busy parents who don't have much time (and might not be interested in the academic level of depth often found within them), ...             Best Friends Forever: A Novel172 reviews Atria, 2009 Another good book by Weiner Despite reading the negative reviews before buying this book, I purchased it. I've really loved all of Weiner's books and I was excited to read this one. I really liked it and would recommend it to other Jennifer Weiner fans.             The Kite Runner2729 reviews Khaled Hosseini Riverhead Trade, 2004 An Amazing Author! What an amazing book. I was mesmerized. Having seen the movie and having read this book before...I had to read it again. It kept me totally involved the second time around.             How Did You Get This Number7 reviews Sloane Crosley Riverhead Hardcover, 2010 Interesting collection of stories In the follow-up to her successful debut, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, Crosley uses her quick wit and sassy one-liners to provide the backdrop to a selection of stories both humorous and touching. Comprised of nine stories about Crosley's late-twenties/early-thirties life, How Did You Get This Number is an entertaining book but to some people it may seem to lack the original insights and unique ...             The Castaways: A Novel63 reviews Little, Brown and Company, 2009 EXCITING, EDGE OF YOUR SEAT READING! This is an involved story of four couples who are the best of friends, the Wheelers, the Drakes, the Kapenashes and the MacAvoys and their affairs and their deepest, darkest secrets. Greg and Tess are out on the water celebrating their 12 year anniversary, while Greg was accused of having an affair with a former student and little did they know that Tess was having an affair of her own ... with ...             Firefly Lane232 reviews St. Martin's Press, 2008 Firefly Lane: Not a beach read! While taking a writing class in college a professor once told me, "No plot is completely original." Well, that's certainly the case when it comes to Hannah's Firefly Lane. Ever seen the movie Beaches? Then you know the story of Katie and Tully, two kids who form a lifelong friendship. Growing up, Katie has the ideal family and stability, whereas Tully's life is tumultuous due to a druggie ...             So Long, Insecurity: You've Been a Bad Friend to Us51 reviews Beth Moore Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2010 What a surprise This book was highly recommended to me, so I bought it, thinking it wasn't going to apply to me. Was I surprised. Now I say this should be recommended reading for every woman, even those who feel they have it all together. She's right on!             Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?252 reviews Seth Godin Portfolio Hardcover, 2010 Becoming a Sales or Marketing Linchpin - A Book Reiview I loved Seth's latest book Linchpin, but Linchpin is not for everyone. There is a certain percentage of the population that doesn't want change, hates the concept of personal development, especially when it comes to them, is not interested in new ideas and prefers to pretend like Candide in Voltaire's novel by the same name that - "all must really be for the best and that hard work, from day to ...             How To Win Friends and Influence People769 reviews Dale Carnegie Simon & Schuster, 2009 Satisfied Customer Love this cd set. I took this class 16 years ago and I wanted this for my son, instead I have been listening to this set and I love it all over again. Thanks a lot.             ANTHEM544 reviews MacMay, 2008 Great service This is the second time I am being asked to write a review for this book by this seller. I dont mind writing again as the service was excellent and I received the book within 7 days after ordering and it was in an excellent condition.             On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen223 reviews Harold McGee Scribner, 2004 A fascinating read If you have ever wondered why your Custard separates and turns to scrambled eggs or how to cook the perfect steak, this is a book for you. Mr McGee explains in simple terms the science behind cookery. In the process he overturns many of the truths that we learnt from our mothers, and many of the "truths" that many of us still apply within our kitchens. It is a long book, a big book, a book that ...             Between Friends43 reviews Mira, 2008 Between Friends This is a nice read. It is a story of two friends told through various written documents. I really enjoyed the historical elements as told throughout the story. I highly recommend this book to Macomber fans.             Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently100 reviews John C. Maxwell Thomas Nelson, 2010 Helping Me Connect Better To Others First of all Thomas Nelson provided me with a complimentary copy of this book to read and review and I found it VERY interesting and motivating! John C. Maxwell gave great real-world examples in this book that ANYONE can use to better communicate and connect with the people around them; whether in business or in our own marriages and families. The strategies that he presented are pretty ...             NOT "Just Friends": Rebuilding Trust and Recovering Your Sanity After Infidelity85 reviews Free Press, 2007 Not "Just Friends" This is a very good book to make people understand the consequences of emotional affairs. It also helps men understand how women feel when affairs or emotional affairs happen and how to avoid a divorce or walk-out of a spouse. I highly recommend this book to anyone whether or not you are in this situation. Communication and understanding is the key to a long term marriage. This book has ...             On the Night You Were Born133 reviews Nancy Tillman Feiwel & Friends, 2006 cute This book is very cute. My 3 year old really likes it. The art work is very nice as well. Think it'll be one we read for years to come.             Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science (Fully Revised and Updated)172 reviews Charles Wheelan W. W. Norton & Company, 2010 Great Introduction to Economics I read this book when I was thirteen, and quite curious about our economy. This book was so easily understood- it is chock full of metaphors and interesting stories- that kept me up all night reading. After the recession hit and Ben Bernanke (Federal Reserve chairman) became TIME's Person of the Year, I read this book again, taking notes and understanding the information better. Particularly ...             Faking It106 reviews Elisa Lorello, 2008 A Must Read I read Faking It in two days and was thrilled to get Ordinary Worlds and finished it in the same, two days. I want part 3. I will say this is the correct blend of humor, love and friendship. Writers like this are hard to find and I think we need to get the word out about Ms Lorello. Thanks for the great adventure Andi and David. Recommend this to your friends whether male or female.             Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal632 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2006 Are You Sure Mel Brooks Didn't Write This? I'll be brief.....buy this book if you want to laugh. I read the title and didn't stop laughing for all 1200 pages on my ipad. The writing is clear and evocative and Moore's wit is simply wonderful to experience. Not to spoil anything, but the preparation for the Sermon on the Mount was my favorite section. If you like Mel Brooks, Larry David, Groucho Marx, and of course, the Simpsons, and you ...             Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?372 reviews Bill Martin Jr. Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1996 Never Too Young to Learn to Read Dr.Martin has demonstrated the beauty of repetition in developing vocabulary in young children. The colors will excite the toddler and instill a love of reading. His companion book, "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" follows the identical technique. However, as a childhood educator, Dr. Martin should know that snakes do not have ears and cannot hear. But Eric Carle's hissing boa ...              search for books according, answers, between, castaways, challenges, childhood, communicates, connect, cooking, differently, economics, effective, everyday, everyone, forever, indispensable, infidelity, influence, insecurity, kitchen, linchpin, parenting, rebuilding, recovering, revised, science, solutions, undressing, updated, wildest books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
