STAR STRUCK introduces Quinn Collins, reporter and co-owner of "Hollywood
Star", a struggling show business publication. When movie mogul Shane
King (who happens to be the son of Quinn's former lover) is murdered, Quinn
uses her reporting skills to help track down Shane's killer.

Quinn is an appealing heroine (in the tradition of another detective created by
Ms. Jacobs, Devon MacDonald). Her wonderfully wry observations about Hollywood
show that she is anything but star struck. I hope this is the beginning of
a new series!

Author Nancy Baker Jacobs has nailed the Hollywood scene in this page turner of a mystery. As a former resident of Hollyweird who worked in the Biz, I recognize all the elements of the culture and the people who seek their fame and fortune there. Ms. Jacobs writes with truth and humor in this first of many (I hope) Quinn Collins mysteries.

This book is all about a teenager's world. Simple situations turn wacky when Sunny and Matt break up b/k of a mysterious tape. Fun 4 any luv aspiring teenage gurl! Sunny and Matt's relationship seemed too perfect, so I really liked Geena and Elias's much better, because it was so funny! (especially when the guys dress up as girls...) A must!

I loved this book it was sooooooo awesome! The Sunny+Matt storyline was good but the Elias Geena part was even better! I borrowed this book and I really didn't want to give it up.

Title: Tomorrow, Up and Away!
Author: Pat Lowery Collins
Favorite Characters: Squirrel, Turtle

Squirrel thinks that the only things turtles do is rest, but Turtle says he's wrong. Turtle says that turtles think about flying when they rest. Turtle says that he would like to fly more than anything. Squirrel thought about this and told Turtle that he will have a surprise for him the next day.
It turns out that Squirrel tries to make Turtle fly. Squirrel thinks that that Turtle will thank him when he gets him flying. You'll have to read the book to find out how Squirrel gets Turtle in the air and what Turtles reaction was to this...

This story will make you laugh and smile everytime you look at the cover. A very entertaining book with wonderful illustrations and a laugh out loud story! I read it to a class of preschoolers and they laughed until we cried. Will definately lift your life.

Collin's novel is the ultimate re-examination of the 1930s private detective. It is full of drama, action, and deep historical context.

Should be required reading for the human race.

Rarely does one come across a book which so completely captures the essence of an era. Max Allan Collins has achieved this in spades. He is simply the master of the historical mystery novel. Nathan Heller is a well rounded character, and his interaction with some of the era's most notable figures is exceedingly well done. I can only the entire line of Nathan Heller novels get back into print. If you're a fan of Hammett, Chandler, etc, you're sure to love it.

Having recently loved the book, MARVA COLLINS' WAY by
Marva Collins and Civia Tamarkin, I was naturally excited to
find something else authored by this inspirational woman . . . in case you're not familiar with the name, she started her own
school in Chicago and made a difference in the lives of her
students.

Her VALUES: LIGHTING THE CANDLE OF EXCELLENCE,
A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR THE FAMILY certainly did not
disappoint . . . it is a short but powerful collection of
essays about how all of us--not just teachers--can help to
raise good kids . . . get this valuable handbook if you're
a parent or grandparent, educator, or just plain interested
in helping children succeed in life.

Among the many memorable passages:
Think how many times a child will draw a picture and the
parent will say, "What is it?" The very words, "What is it?"
already say to your child, "Your picture is not very good
because I did not know what it was." Say instead, "What
a wonderful picture! Tell me about it."

How often do we begin to reprimand with the word Don't.
"Don't do this; don't do that." Try instead, "I think you are
making the wrong choice, bright one. Can you think of
a better choice?"

"Everybody hates me" is another statement used frequently
by the child who has learned to become a "victim." To this
question you might respond, "Everybody means everyone
in the whole world. This means people in China, Africa,
Switzerland, and places you have never visited, so how
could these people hate you?" Encourage your child to
conclude that not "everybody" hates him or her. Then say,
"Let's talk about the people you think hate you right now.
Can you think of anything that you may have done to
make you feel that these people hate you?"

This is a beatiful book carefully put together about a cherished topic...values within a famliy. It is a handbook for raising good kids. Our family atmosphere has changed since using such techniques as CAF (consider all factors), calling my children "My bright one", and standing firmly on the foundation of loving DISCIPLINE. You'd be crazy not to get this book!

If you own and work (or plan to work) stock dogs then you'll want to own this book. I borrowed this book many years ago and now that I am getting back into working stockdogs I just ordered it for myself! The book takes you through choosing and raising a puppy, step-by-step training from start to finish, and trialing. The book is mostly geared towards Border Collies working sheep but most of the same techniques can be used with other breeds. If you have another breed working cattle may want to look into purchasing Scott Lithgow's "Training and Working Dogs for Quiet Confident Control of Stock".

Glyn Jones,a top Border Collie handler gives his insights about working as a team with your Border collie on the trial field. He also explains how to train your dog and how to become a team. This book goes into detail from choosing your dog, training you dog in all the stages to trialing. A top book with lots of pictures, diagrams and great explanations.

Terah's voice is very pleasing to listen to and she presents the concepts simply so one can immediately put the concepts to use in your home and office. I have done both -- with good effect. Her experience in working with hundreds of homes and offices is condensed into a very pleasant listening and learning experience. If you want to affirm in your physical world what you are already affirming and praying for in your mental world, then this is the program for you. I've listened to a lot of tape programs over the years and hers is among the best!

This tape series is the follow on to the original piece by the author. What an excellent way for readers to learn about Feng Shui - while driving the long commute home or at home. Terah Collins covers the basics in a clear, concise, and informative way. I finally understand the history behind this Eastern practice of building and maintaining harmonious and peaceful environmental surroundings. The workbook clearly compliments topics on tape. Especially useful is tape 5 which covers the room by room outline for emphasizing each type of chi treasure that is part of the bagua in one's home or office. My home has already become a more inviting and peaceful place to live!

During a time when Alabama was a major battleground in the struggle for black civil rights, Collins describes how one white denomination responded to the moral issue of racial segregation. His story is not a pretty one. Collins paints a picture of evasion, resistance, and moral cowardice. In small towns and large cities, Methodist congregations opposed the teachings of their nation organization; ostracized ministers who dared to advocate racial equality openly; withheld funds from religious organization considered too liberal on racial issues; closed their doors to African-Americans; and refused to have any contact with black fellow Methodists. - - Paul T. Murray, Siena College

An insider's view of the struggle to end segregation in the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the UMC, Collins' book is filled with stories that were echoed throughout the deep South: personal stories of courage by ministers and laymen whose Christian idealism led them to oppose the institution of segregation in the church. Sadly, it also recounts, despite some structural and administrative advancement, the truth that Sunday morning remains the most segregated hour in American society. A must-read for those interested in the struggle between Christian faith and cultural Christianity in the deep South.
