The Guidance, Wisdom & simple Practises are profound
For over 20 years i have chanted mantras of ascended masters and they have served me to purify, change emotions, learn more about the Divine and myself. This book carries incredible wisdom, secrets, and the most powerful heart touching mantras that bring tears out of me in total gratitude for their frequency, love and vibration. Im so grateful for Dr Sha's dedication that has moved & touched the ...

Charming
Wicked Plants, by Amy Stewart, is an informative, sexy book with a wicked sense of humor. Tales of espionage, murder, and the unexpected dangers of house plants are found inside this mysterious book. In fact, it's pretty amazing just how many nefarious plants are within close range. "I confess that I am enchanted by the plant kingdom's criminal element," says Stewart, "I love a good villain... ...

I have not read this yet, saving it for a long plane ride this week! I love Danielle Steel so I know it will be great before reading it. I have her entire collection and most in hard backs. She is great. The price and shipping were good.

Holy steampunk! I love it
An alternate-history novel based in the late 1800's with destruction, adventure, dirigibles, sky pirates, a mad inventor, AND zombies? COUNT ME IN. A book just as fascinating as its cover. You guys, Boneshaker was so much more than I expected! Such a brilliantly imaginative tale with flair and grit. To start it all off, let me just talk about the appearance of the book. The cover is so lovely ...
Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker

Variety is the Spice of Life
This cookbook is aptly named: it is "NOT your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two." That is something you should keep in mind before ordering this book; if you want a book full of the old slow cooker standbys, this probably isn't the book for you. If, on the other hand, you like interesting foods and fresh ingredients, and you want to eat well, this might be a good addition to your cookbook ...

The Unexpected Queen
Eventhough with the majority of biographies you always know the ending, I still cried a little at William Shawcross's description of the Queen Mother's funeral in the final pages of his fascinating book on her life. I am British and have lived in the US for 10 years. When the Queen Mother died in 2002 I was already here and paid little attention to what was going on back home at the time, ...

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook
Very good collection of recipes and tips. I have been a slow cooker user for more years than I like to admit, mostly for soups, stews and pot roasts. This collection, however, took me into areas I had not considered. I highly recommend the granola recipes, as well as the poached whole chicken, which really fills the house with a wonderful aroma (and it tastes great, too). It really goes beyond ...

Worth waiting every year for!!!
Another terrific Christmas story by Donna VanLiere. I pre-order her books every year and read each of them two or three times throughout the year. They are heartwarming and a constant reminder that if we treated others like we want to be treated the world would be a much better place. My Christmas season always begins with her book. This year is no exception and worth it once again.

I llove this llittle llama...
From the moment my 8 year old heard this book (at age 4 or so) he was hooked. When Mama LLama is busy downstairs Baby Llama gets increasingly louder and more obnoxious with every page. We laughed as my son recognized his own behavior in baby llama. I still use the catch phrase "llama drama" to signify that his behavior is on par with the "weeping and wailing" Baby Llama does. I disagree with ...

A snow day can be a fun day or one of worry ... "Mommy, we are all alone in the world."
The little bunny peeked up over the covers as his mother looked in on him. She told him that he could sleep in because Kindergarten had been closed due to snow. "It's been snowing all night, and the school bus got stuck." He jumped out of bed anxious to rush out and play in the snow, but his mother thought he might catch a cold and wanted him to wait. He snuck outside on the balcony to watch ...

Mourning Mothers, Distant Daughters
Traveling with Pomegranates drew me into memories of my own crisis over aging. Turning fifty had been the hardest birthday of my life, and Sue Monk Kidd, as she reached the same passage, articulated many of my feelings about that milestone. Becoming an "older woman" stirred a new level of awareness of her mortality, of the loss of her children as they became adults, of a need to simplify and ...

A heartbreaking story of triumph
This is a heartbreaking memoir about a young boy looking for love. His violently abusive mother beats him constantly, with the stench of alcohol in her breath, while his so called "hero" of a dad and four brothers refuse to help. After David runs to school every day, because his mother won't give him a ride. The school nurse examines him one day and notices all of his cuts and bruises. Even ...
The Nursing Mother's Companion: Revised Edition

There is a reason it is titled "companion"
This book was very helpful with nursing issues. Other books devote a chapter or a few pages to nursing, this is a whole book! I keep it on my end table where I nurse and refer to it all the time. Great buy.

Cherished memory
When my 27 year old son was in Kindergarten, his teacher read this book to all the kids and their mothers in Celebration of Mother's Day if I remember correctly. What ever the occasion, this book brought tears to all the mothers eyes. As my son grew over the years, the verse in this book: I love you forever, I like you for always, became our words to each other in all our cards & special gifts ...

Above Average Thriller
If I have anything negative to say about this novel, I can only say that it started out slow. There was a public scene which started off within the first couple of pages and then the book sort of evolved into a domestic situation which might have turned off anyone considering starting a family. This foray into negative domesticity was starting to get on my nerves, but the author managed to pick ...

Makes me laugh everytime! Just fun to read.
We all thoroughly enjoy this book. MY 14 yr old, 9 yr old, 2 1/2 yr old and myself all get a kick out of reading and hearing this book. The sayings are so funny, we say them randomly in life. So cute! Mama calms llama llama and teaches patience in a gentle way because llama llama should not get mad at mama.

good book to read
this was a good book and I also saw the movie.. I think even though the content was hard. It was sad to see someone was so abused but I think everyone should be educated about this abuse. Maybe if more people were they could help people like this young girl in this book.

Great Sequel!
I loved the Friday Night Knitting Club and the stories of the characters. Kate Jacobs writing just flows and it is so easy to get into the characters. I was very happy there was a sequel and I could escape in the story again. I also enjoyed her other book, Comfort Food.

Great follow up
I had just as many questions I think as David had as to why. I enjoyed getting a better idea of things, and seeing where life led David. Well written, and a great look at the foster care system.
