Interesting perspective. A decent read to get one thinking about values.

Stansfield's GABLES series is a delightful read, tying families in the US and Australia.

Green's books are quick and easy yet have a capturing mystery/adventure. I like her work.

Great little book. Lots and lots of questions that stir memories. My mother-in-law (almost 90) is bed-ridden and I used many of the questions to stimulate her thinking as well as record vignettes for her personal history. We didn't have a lot to talk about, were rehashing the same things, same worries and complaints, same stories, until I got the book. With the questions, she's been prompted to share many things that we never knew about her childhood. She's enjoyed the little walks down memory lane. The evening questions gave her something to look forward to and something positive to reflect on. We've laughed and shed tears over her wonderful memories--that she may not have ever thought to share had I not come across this book.

Good place to start reading about raising your own chickens at home. So much to know; the book covers a lot! Obviously there's a lot more reading that must be done in order to be successful at this endeavor.

Some interesting ideas of things to make, but for the real beginner...It just doesn't work (at least the knitting portion). I tried (and I'm not an idiot or uncoordinated) but trying to learn how to knit from just this book was a joke. Stuck the needles back in the ball of yarn and it is now a fireplace decoration!

Sweet, sweet book. Wonderful gift for someone who has learned they are going to be a new grandpa. Nice artwork. Just a delight!

With 2 Mormons making a bid for the President of the United States...Mormonism needs to be better understood by voters. This book presents a basic look at the religion: its beliefs and its foundation. A fair approach to understanding the religion (instead of all the negativism and inaccuracies so many "anti-Mormon" reporters and books are publishing).

Evidently I ended up jumping into the middle of a series without realizing it. Discovered there are 3 books before and 6 books after Hidden Agendas. The books have a lot of characters and detail to follow, have to flip back and forth some. I passed the first few in the series to my husband and he really likes them, ended up getting all the rest. My son read them and enjoyed them too... Just not my cup of tea.

Teaching memoir writing, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and approaches to writing. This book forms a nice collection of ideas but spreads its content over too large an area.

These books by "Richard Castle" are just fun! If you like the TV show, the books just take things one step further.

I took a writing class from this author and he is fun and creative. Annie McRae is a cute children's book that teaches the lesson of caring for yourself and others. Interesting illustrations (including a little game of finding horseshoes) and I love the turquoise cowboy boots Annie wears!

Fun stuff for children (and the adults who get to read to them)! We have a "rotten redheaded older brother" in this family, so the book was perfect.

This book, together with the rest of this series, is easy reading yet examines some serious life problems (cancer, abuse, spirituality, family dynamics, depression, suicide, rape, poverty/wealth...). Don't be misled by the titles, Stansfield isn't writing just sweet little romance novels, though romance is involved. The books and characters tie together well as different stories are developed and social issues are discussed. The writing is uplifting, clean, and enjoyable to read.

Encouraging. Offers some good ideas for the "everyday" person to be a "writer" of their own stories.

They just keep coming...This one is l-o-n-g and boring.

Good guide to writing your own history. The author provides several personal examples, which can be tedious, but she also provides lists and motivation.

I have been buying books from the Wheel of Time series for my son for years...not until recently did I pick up one to read. Jordan is a great storyteller and builds interesting characters...All the unusual names and places take a concentrated effort to remember which distracts some from the pleasure of reading, but overall they are interesting.

Not literature...just fun! If you like the TV show Castle, you'll love Naked Heat. Wry humor, intriguing storyline, great characters! Read it aloud on a cross-country road trip--loved it!

Tony Wolk was a writing and literature professor at PSU. This book and the 2 others in the same series were created during his tenure there. Tony has an interesting way of telling a story: a lot of feeling, a little sci-fi, researched background to support the story... It all works, and works well. These are fascinating books.

Soft-soft, cuddly...The perfect gift (along with a book about Paddington of course!) for a child. High quality!

Clancy's Net Force series grabs attention and provides an exciting read. I love that it keeps going on and on.
