If you are a fan of anything that flies - you'll love this book. John Bytheway has had a lifelong fascination with planes. He has turned his love into a book telling 15 different stories of experiences by real pilots. Each story has an illustration of the plane that the pilot had the experience with and current details on the pilot.
What I have gained from reading these stories is a true respect for the training and education that the pilot has to have before they even get up in the air. It is amazing what they have to know and how they need to be prepared to make instant decisions that can affect their own or others lives. This is a fast book to read but it's very interesting. I especially liked how the pilots wove their own testimonies into the experience. I recommend it.
Paul Bryant is devestated by the loss of his pregnant wife in a car accident. Her last request is that he find a mother for their newborn twins. As Paul has terminal cancer, he knows this is not a request to take lightly. Jane is hoping for a date when, out of loneliness, she answers a personal ad. She then enters into a very strange relationship.
This is a very unique book. It is a romance - but it is truly not your "boy meet girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl get married, boy and girl start a family" book. I won't spoil the magic by explaining exactly what it is. I was captivated by this story. It is a book that is almost 400 pages long - but I read it in a night. It will make you think about your own priorities and what choices you would make in certain situations. It will also require you to think about the relationships in your lives and are they what you want? I think this book was entirely worth the cost and I'm sure you'll think so too.
In this latest 'Haggerty Mystery' novel by Betsy Brannon Green, four friends meet together for a fun weekend at a mountain cabin, hoping to rekindle relationships. But a storm, a mysterious stranger and a visitor from the past complicate matters.
Meanwhile, a younger woman appears in Haggerty, interested in Miss Eugenia's special friend, Whit Owens. Miss Eugenia is sure that there is something sinister about the new arrival.
The Haggerty novels are always interesting, suspenseful and exciting. This book is no exception. Miss Eugenia's unique personality, once again, comes vividly to life, as she and other familiar characters interact - intent on solving unanswered questions. This book is predictable in the fact that it is unpredictable and one won't be able to guess how it ends. You will truly enjoy this mystery novel. It will be like catching up with old friends.
Pete and Randi Jacobsen are very happy. They have four beatiful kids, jobs they enjoy and a beautiful home. This is a moving story about a family tested by a tragic accident and how the marriage is affected.
This is an absolutely beautiful story. The author is very talented with her ability to describe the characters and make them real. I had a hard time with this novel because it does describe one of my worst fears. But it is inspiring and reminds you that sometimes life takes courage. I learned a lot from this book and it is one that you truly want to discuss with a friend.
In this second book of this magical series, Kendra and Seth are back at Fablehaven, facing new dangers. The Society of the Evening Star seeks to invade and steal ancient artifacts from magical preserves that are of great value. Kendra and Seth find themselves caught in the middle of the latest threat and they may be the only people who can save Fablehaven!!
What an exciting second installment! I really, really, REALLY love this series! It's exciting, it's magical, it teaches great morals, it's suspenseful, it has the classic good against evil themes, and it's wonderful for all ages. At the end, it becomes apparent that there will a Book Three - so I'm thrilled. I have to say, I have a whole library of novels that I happily loan out to anyone who wants to borrow them, but I will not loan out my Fablehaven books. I love them that much. If you enjoy magic and a good adventure, I highly recommend this series.
