Thank the heavens that Nichole Robertson took her camera to Paris. These photographs are stunning. This book is not just a pretty coffee table book, but rather one you'd find yourself picking up to look over again and again.

Very beautiful! Shaw's photographs are exquisite, and you will find yourself picking it up again and again. Buy it if you like Audrey Hepburn, or just really good photography.

Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire: Harry Potter 4
by
J K Rowling
SarahNicoleD
, July 01, 2010
This is absolutely my favourite Harry Potter novel. It grapples with new, innovative plot twists and leaves the reader wanting more. It is truly a magical world that J. K. Rowling has painted us all, though the faeries are replaced with veelas. Read it. You will certainly not be disappointed.

Harry Potter 07 & The Deathly Hallows
by
J.K. Rowling
SarahNicoleD
, January 01, 2010
This is possibly the best book ever written. It captures your attention, in that you will never even think of sleeping, eating, etc. until you finish reading this novel. The breathtaking plot morphs your imagination, and your fingers madly turn the pages as the story unfolds. I would recommend this novel to any person; it would turn the most literature-hating individuals into genuine readers.

Beautifully written, magnificently presented. Shadowmancer questions human morals and lets your mind wander into the realms of truth and light, deceit and darkness. You will never forget this piece of fiction.

Anne of Green Gables 01
by
Montgomery, L. M.
SarahNicoleD
, August 06, 2009
The hilarious shenanigans of Anne will certainly make this your new favorite book. Or maybe it's Lucy Maud Montgomery's understanding of the human condition that's so appealing. At any rate, you will never be disappointed when you pick up a copy of the brilliant Anne of Green Gables.

Les Miserables
by
Victor Hugo
SarahNicoleD
, July 24, 2009
Victor Hugo must have had some sort of a muse to turn the events of a few unfortunate people into an amazing, heartache of a tale. Disaster roams in this novel, yet the need to keep turning the pages is irrepressible. This is a story that will engrain itself into your mind. It is unforgettable.

Bean Trees
by
Barbara Kingsolver
SarahNicoleD
, July 24, 2009
With distinct, vivid diction, Barbara Kingsolver transports us into her novel, The Bean Trees. The characters touch your heart, and as you frantically turn the pages, you can almost feel yourself living in Taylor's (the main character) shoes. This novel will keep you thinking long after you put it down.
