If I wasn't so anti-violence and war I could have easily finished this book in a day. A great read for all Nigerians, especially young Igbos.             Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)3594 reviews J.K. Rowling Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006 gift Got the last 2 HP books they were in excellent condition I like doing business at Amazon             That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between35 reviews Victoria Beckham Harper Paperbacks, 2007 Helpful I really likes this book, it was helpful and it gave great tips on not only fashion but hair and make up too. Victoria Beckham has an eye for fashion and reading her tips u can see that. Also the pics in the book of her are amazing             Your Present: A Half Hour of Peace66 reviews Relax...Intuit (tm) LLC, 2000 A must have for your relaxation CD collection I am a Clinical Psychologist, and have listened to many CDs. I am one of those who has never been able to stay awake to hear the end (or even the middle) of this very relaxing CD. I have recommended it to many of my patients, especially those who are stressed, anxious, and have difficulty sleeping. It has been helpful to and enjoyed by most everyone I have suggested trying it. As mentioned by ...             Living Your Unlived Life: Coping with Unrealized Dreams and Fulfilling Your Purpose in the...Second Half of ...7 reviews Robert A. Johnson, Jerry Ruhl Tarcher, 2007 Experiencing a well-rounded life From John Howard Prin, author of Secret Keeping: Overcoming Hidden Habits and Addictions I heartily recommend this book for everyone who yearns to live their dream. The authors have packed much wisdom into 200+ pages, all in a highly readable style. Their insights opened up many mysteries of the unconscious for me and showed healthy ways to experience freedom and fulfillment...to drink life ...             Healthy Cooking for Two (or Just You): Low-Fat Recipes with Half the Fuss and Double the Taste64 reviews Frances Price Rodale Books, 1997 Best cookbook I own! I bought this cookbook several years ago based on someone's recommendation, and consider it one of my best purchases ever. The recipes are simple to prepare, delicious and healthy. I have not been disappointed in a single recipe. I was a little turned off at first because there were no photos of the prepared foods, but after months and months of use, I can honestly say that I use this cookbook ...             Death's Half Acre14 reviews Margaret Maron Grand Central Publishing, 2008 One of the best in the series Once again, Margaret Maron writes a compelling mystery with all the right ingredients: a strong believable heroine, a suspenseful plot, a strong sense of place and even a few touches of humor. Luckily I set aside some time on a rainy weekend. It's not a book I can put down easily. Fans of Deborah Knott will be relieved to find that Deborah's marriage has not weakened the series. We don't get ...             A Giraffe and a Half20 reviews HarperCollins, 1964 Kindergarten class LOVES it! Read this to my Kindergarten students and before I got halfway through the book they were "helping" me read it! They ask for it often. What better recommendation could there be?!?!?!             Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir21 reviews Jennette Fulda Seal Press, 2008 A Gutsy, Bold, and Honest Ass-Kicking Jennette Fulda's Half-Assed is not your average weight loss memoir. Not only did Fulda lose over half her body weight, but she does not offer any apologies. In some ways, the book is as much pro-fat as pro-thin. This book, based on her blog Half of Me, chronicles how she got so fat, and, to some extent, what she did to lose the weight. Some of her struggles, such as finding clothes and getting ...             Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: 2009 Wall Calendar LLC Andrews McMeel Publishing Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008 Multiple art and photographic images from the motion picture recreate on each monthly spread the exciting events of Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.

(s08)             Encore: Finding Work that Matters in the Second Half of Life28 reviews Marc Freedman PublicAffairs, 2008 Refreshing With people living longer and having the opportunity to remain in the workforce longer, this is a book that needed to be written. Americans have more options than ever upon reaching retirement age. We can continue to work, we can retire, we can travel, etc. The author, Freedman, spells out in delicious detail those choices, and the result of whatever one we choose. The book makes a point that ...             The Wisdom of Menopause Journal: Your Guide to Creating Vibrant Health and Happiness in the Second Half of ...3 reviews Christiane Northrup Hay House, 2007 THIS IS A WINNER! Not only is this journal full of valuable information, you actually have a place to write in your own thoughts, feelings and ideas. Dr. Northrup knows how to connect with her readers in a warm, available style. I'm very impressed with the informative content and the interactive format. In addition, the spiral bound aspect makes it easier to write in because it opens up flat. I highly ...             Shadow & Claw: The First Half of 'The Book of the New Sun' (New Sun)188 reviews Gene Wolfe Orb Books, 1994 Visionary and masterfully complex science fiction Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun is a massively complex work of fiction. However, this depth never seems to bog the reader down, instead it further involves the reader in the saga of Severian. Wolfe takes the basic idea of Jack Vance's classic "The Dying Earth," the concept of an Earth far in the future underneath an aging sun, and creates a totally unique perspective on this scenario. I'm ...             Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management36 reviews Jeffrey Pfeffer, Robert I. Sutton Harvard Business School Press, 2006 Another thought provoking work from Pfeffer I've been an avid Pfeffer fan since 'Resource Dependency', so am inclined to give him 5 stars for anything he writes. The main themes in here are extremely thought provoking and are great for jogging one's brain to think thorough one's management assumptions. A few of his analogies are weak...I believe there are better cases as analogies for some of Pfeffer's points. He relies upon his ...             My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours3 reviews Kumon Publishing North America, 2006 Great workbooks! This is a great work book to help your preschooler or young learner to start understanding the concepts of telling time. It focuses on learning the numbers, hours, and hand placement on the clock as well as learning about half-hours. It's a great workbook to take to an appt. (waiting room), or for a few minutes before dinner. My children have enjoyed many of the KUMON books.             Half a Crown4 reviews Jo Walton Tor Books, 2008 terrific alternate historical In 1941 Britain and Germany signed the Farthing Peace accord, which allowed the English elite to continue to live an affluent lifestyle while "undesirables" like the Jews and any anti government protestors have been and still are shipped to Easton Europe in cattle cars. Nineteen years later, London hosts an international peace conference in which the three superpowers Britain, Germany and Japan ...             Your Money After the Big 5-0: Wealth for the Second Half of Life5 reviews Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, ... B&H Publishing Group, 2007 Great start to finding your answers What a great book to begin understanding the life of pre-retirement and after retirement. This book does a wonderful job of being objective to the many options available. There is no clear cut answer to growing old and decisions should be made once the options are understood. This was fun and enjoyable to read!             Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up38 reviews James Hollis Gotham, 2006 One of the clearest Jungian exposés that exists. As someone who has studied Jung for a great deal of their adult life, I find this to be an exceptional book. Many terms that other authors attempt to describe such as psyche, ego, transference, etc., are really very difficult to follow. Hollis does an exceptional job in breaking Jungian terms open for the reader. Of course, this does not say that it is a particularly easy read as I believe the ...             Something to Live For: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life2 reviews Richard J Leider, David A Shapiro Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008 Saving and Savoring the world-what a concept! Most of us have bookshelves weighed down with all kinds of personal development and self help books-I do! Most of the ones for midlife tend to be around health and wealth issues....will we have enough of both? Often the answers are scarcity driven, not giving us much hope for a positive aging experience. This is the very best one I've read that gives us the GPS or road map to midlife and ...             Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't93 reviews John R. Lott Jr. Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2007 Informative One thing I like about Prof. Lott is that he does not try and be funny. I've read other books by economists and they try to be cute or witty or funny, but jokes usually fall flat. Prof. Lott sticks to the facts and draws conclusions, and I appreciate that.              search for books calendar, creating, dangerous, everything, evidence, evidence-based, finally, finding, freedomnomics, fulfilling, giraffe, half-assed, half-baked, half-blood, half-hours, half-truths, happiness, learning, low-fat, management, meaning, menopause, nonsense, profiting, recipes, something, telling, theories, unrealized, weight-loss books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
