Review:Another of her books that captures the heart ..Johanna Lindsey is an awesome writer.
She captures the reader and leads them on a wonderful journey of ups and downs,
the intrigue and suspense, She has a way of pulling you in and not letting go
she leads you to romance and always the "Happy ending "
Why else do we read these stories because we enjoy the fantasy and the thrill of knowing
Fairy tails do come true thru books and movies... :)

Review:These books about the Malory family are always a very good read, full of romance, drama, lighthearted fun, really good insight how the upper class lives and their fashions. Always some dark moments but that only adds to the romance of it all in the end. Recommend this book. Read more

Review:The age old questions are never answered but the reader keeps asking - why? Why were out carrier's at sea and why didn't the Japanese keep coming to the West Coast to inflict more damage than they already had done? Read more

Review:This book dealt with several life-altering issues in a very compelling manner; leading the reader to lay aside preconcieved prejudices as well as allowing us the priviledge of being absorbed in the coming of age of a remarkable boy that morphs into a competent young man right before your eyes.

Review:Three things that often influence my selection of a book to read are - the first (or first two) sentences, the book cover and the title.

First sentence of this book -
Tonight, I will do the impossible.
That definitely got my interest.

Book Cover - good one.

Title - also interesting. I have to admit that after reading the book, I’m not sure what lie the author is referring to. I wish that had been more clear.

I enjoyed the book. It’s classified as historica... Read more

Review:I agree with other reviewers who have suggested this not be the first Robbins book you read--start with Skinny Legs and All (my personal favorite), Jitterbug Perfume, or Still Life with Woodpecker. This is a short and light book which I found to be entertaining airplane reading; it occupied me for about half of a Boston-to-Phoenix flight. I agree with others who found Stubblefield's character and the ending to be somewhat of a let-down. I enjoyed the tanuki parts the most--and have enjoyed my... Read more

Review:I really enjoyed All Sails Set by Sperry and this book was recommended by Carole Joy Seid - so when I found this book, I knew we would read it. I shared this tale, a Polynesian folktale retold by Sperry, with my boys ages 11 and 14. Neither would have chosen the book because of the cover, but once inside the story they enjoyed it.

Mafatu lives with his tribe on a small island, an atoll. His father is the Chief and Mafatu strives to live up to his name which means Stout Heart. This is ... Read more

Review:I decided not to finish this book. I rarely do that-and I generally read and finish about 4-5 novels a month.
I found it was depressing and although books I enjoy don't all have to be a ray of sunshine--I could see that this was not going to
let up-so I got rid of it.
I share all my finished books--but I did not want to pass this on. Read more

Review:I loved the author's description of South Africa in the early part of the century. She had certainly done her research there. The characters are somewhat endearing, but unfortunately, I found the author's character development shallow. The story line was a little too predictable. I would say it was an easy read, but not especially memorable. Read more

Review:First sentence in this novella, and I am certain you all have seen it somewhere, perhaps on a bumper sticker, or perhaps you have read this novella:
Be kind to dragons, for thou art crunchy when roasted and taste good with ketchup.

That is of course one hell of a pickup line. Channon MacRea is busy studying the ancient Dragon tapestry in the museum, when the most gorgeous man she has ever seen, starts talking to her. He seems genuinely interested in her, and her thoughts on the tapestr... Read more
