Effect:::
She couldn't turn her back on her family in their time of need. So when her sister was injured, financial expert Andrea Hampton traded the big city for Amish country to help turn her grandmother's house into an inn.
But life with the Plain People took a treacherous turn when a string of accidents and pranks threatened her family. Someone didn't want the secrets the old house harbored to come to light. Trusting anyone-- even the handsome carpenter who seemed so genuine--was a battle for Andrea, but her life depended on her ability to find the truth.

Hide in Plain Sight (Three Sisters Inn, Book 1)Feature for this item
This novel was an easy, light read for times when you don't really want a lot of action, suspense, or thought-provoking moments. There were enough clues to keep the reader guessing,and the plot moved along at a good pace so I never got bored. I would say that I guessed half of the ending as far as the "who dunnit" aspect without really trying, but there was still a surprising twist that I didn't foresee. The Amish undertones are very subtle--this certainly isn't a book that will teach you a lot about the fascinating people or their way of life. The Christian aspect is present, but is much lighter than I've found in other novels labeled "Christian Fiction". It is unmistakeable, however, so if you find that distracting this is not the book for you.
And as a Christian novel the romance is very chaste. It was a quick read and pretty much delivered what I'd expected given the genre. If it is still available as a freebie for Kindle owners I'd rec. it if your tastes are similar.
NEW! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Paperback Boxed Set (Books 1-3) with Free shipping
Effect::: Humans and half-bloods alike agree--Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a series fit for heroes! Re-live the adventure from the beginning with this boxed set of the first three books.
The Lightning Thief Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. When his mom tells him the truth about where he came from, she takes him to the one place he'll be safe--Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island). There, Percy learns that the father he never knew is actually Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon Percy finds himself caught up in a mystery that could lead to disastrous consequences. Together with his friends--a satyr and other the demigod daughter of Athena--Percy sets out on a quest to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
The Sea of Monsters After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly calm. But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters--the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new nameL: the Bermuda Triangle. Now Percy and his friends must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke...
The Titan's Curse When Percy Jackson receives a distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty broze sword Riptide; and... a ride from his mom. The demigods race to the rescue, to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have unwittingly fallen prey. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge so far: the chilling prophecy of the Titan's curse.User friendly.

I am an 11-year-old girl who absolutely hated reading. I could never find a book I liked. If I actually found a good book, I would end up getting bored with it and not finishing it. Then, I happened to stumble upon "Percy." I opened up this book, and I never put it down. I read all day long, while eating dinner, while brushing my teeth, and even read it by flashlight in bed. I finished the series in less than two weeks. I cried so hard when I was finished with the last book. I was literally sick to my stomach and had a headache. I was bedstricken, okay???!! Then, I found out Rick Riordan would be writing a new "Percy" series, featuring some of the old characters. I have no reason to live until "The Lost Hero" comes out. (October 12th.) This is coming from a girl who, 2 weeks before "Percy", wouldn't even read a picture book. Rick Riordan, you are amazing. This author knows what his mythology-loving audience wants to read. And I will be reading Rick's work as long as I can possibly stand it!!!!!!!

My son is almost 2 years old; I got this for him for Christmas and he loves it. He loves to point at the machines and let us tell him what it is. Then we also reverse it; we ask him to locate the motorcycle, bus, etc. It has pictures of just about every machine you see. I think this says it's for ages 4-8; I'd say that's wrong and younger kids will like it. I would think older kids would want a story line, and there is no story.
This was the first recipe book that I bought on juicing, and I really enjoy it. It gives a great and easy to understand introduction on juicing and why it is so beneficial. Another great point of the book is the star ratings based on skin, immunity, energy, etc. The back of the book even gives lists of ailments and then tells you corresponding recipes that are good to alleviate the symptoms.
The only downside to this book is it is mostly fruit and doesn't have many vegetable juicing recipes. Carrots are used, but for the main ingredients there isn't celery, spinach, parsley, etc. If you're looking for an introduction to juicing and want to get into it slowly, I would recommend starting with this because the fruit mixtures are great and tasty and then you mix a little carrot in them and as you continue, experiment and include more vegetables.

This is my kind of mystery, family secrets and murder to keep them secret. Harper can find dead bodies and when she "touches" them she can tell what happened in their last minutes of life. She got this talent after being struck by lightening, you find out later she was using a curling iron to do her hair before she went out on a date and the lightening entered thru the open window beside her. Harper is scared of storms, who wouldn't be in her shoes, but the books make you wonder if it isn't because she's afraid if she is hit again that she will lose her talent and gain something worse. Harper's second is her step-brother Tolliver. Here they are the yin to the other's yang. Harper is a bit high-strung while Tolliver is cool calm and collected. She seems to be startled by every pothole she hits in life while he just lets it roll off his back. And unlike other reviews I really didn't see any romantic or sexual tension between them, but then again I wasn't looking for it either. This book took me on a rollercoaster ride with me hanging on by the seat of my pants, and I loved every minute. I don't know about you but it kept me guessing about who had done the murder until the very end.

I don't generally do vampire and werewolf novels because most of them are dumb. They're almost always formulaic, repetitive, and unimaginative, just another helping of gothic romance and '30s Hollywood script. There are a very few exceptions, like Kim Harrison's "Rachel Morgan" series, and now this one. Kitty Norville is a nice Denver girl in her early '20s, and a werewolf. She's also a disc jockey and the best known public authority (after testifying before a Congressional committee) on lycanthropy. By the time of this fourth novel, she has managed to escape her battered existence at the hands/paws of Carl, her pack's alpha, fled to Pueblo, and established a two-person pack of her own. She has also found a few vampires she can trust to be her friends. (Hey, they're all people.) But now the situation in her city is changing. The Master vampire seems no longer to be able to control his people and has recruited Carl to help him. Rick, a Good Guy vampire (sort of), decides it's time for a new Master and that Kitty will have to replace Carl in the process. It's a complicated plot and if you haven't read the first three volumes you'll have some trouble figuring out what's going on because the back-story is kind of thin. Vaughn's take on the whole undead, shape-shifting thing shows a lot of originality and she does a very good job building the story around the politics of power and control. An above-average series.
By the big red barn In the great green field, There was a pink pig Who was learning to squeal.
There were horses and sheep and goats and geese--and a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant
Pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margaret Wise Brown's simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps.
There were horses and sheep and goats and geese--and a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margarett Wise Brown's simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps.
"Brown's melodic text is beguiling, while its subject'the big red barn that houses a menagerie of animals and their offspring'will have instant appeal to young children. Bond's newly added drawings have a simplicity that suits the story [about the cycle of a day on a farm]. A welcome reprise." 'BL.
Big Red Barn is one of those baby books that provokes either charm or annoyance in adult readers, and delight in young listeners. It is marked by Brown's soothingly rhythmic, repetitive text, sprinkled with farmyard animal noises that toddlers will love to imitate. The story opens with "a pink pig/ who was learning to squeal" greeting the sunrise. Other farm animals go about their activities throughout the day, and (just as in Goodnight Moon) the pictures become progressively darker as night falls on the barn.
This classic board book is brightly illustrated, interactive and soothing. It's a good fit for both preverbal toddlers and children who are just beginning to understand how story events progress in sequence. It's a very nice choice for both boys and girls.

This was a great story with a timely subject and lots of interesting info on the inside workings of the JAG. I found the characters likeable and believable. The suspense kept me going, I found myself eager to get home from work in order to keep reading.
For those who are not religious, I am definitely not, I found that the Christianity in the story was toned down enough to not distract me and it was integral to the story. It also was good to show the contrast between the terrorist's practice of Islam and Christian beliefs.
There was one thing not resolved that is bugging me though, Amy was trying to tell Zack about something that bothered her about the Senator's niece, but never got around to doing it. It didn't feel like that case was truly resolved, was the Navy Seal really guilty? Maybe there will be a short story based on the appeal that will tell us the conclusion.

My 3 yr old loves stickers and this book is perfect. Most of the stickers are easy to remove (a couple are not well pre-cut and make it a bit hard - no big issue though). This book is part of a series. This particular one has some puzzles and is more for older kids. Just the same, the stickers are pretty and my son spends hours with it. Would recommend for kids over 4, but little ones can have fun too.
Effect::: An extraordinarily different story by Robert Munsch is a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for their child--forever. Sheila McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of the book--one that will be read repeatedly for years.User friendly.

This is NOT a sad book, but very touching. It brought my Mother and I to tears the first time we read it 20+ years ago. Because we were shopping two hours from home, my dad refused to let us have it in the car for the drive back - he put it in the trunk so we would stop looking at it and crying! My son was very young at the time and I bought it for him. He is 27 years old and still remembers the book today. He will surely buy it for his children some day!
It is poignant without being heavy. My Mom just recently bought this book for my 50-yr-old brother's birthday gift. It brought that strong blue-collared man to tears too! It says so much in so few pages. A child's book, yes, but for adults also. Every household should have this book!
People who tagged this book negatively (stalking, odd, depression, mentally ill) must have truly lost touch with their emotions . . . I find nothing negative between its pages! Maybe it's my upbringing, but I have never been afraid to show emotion!
