Mompreneurs Online is a great book for those who want to work from home but just don't know where to start and what to do. It is full of resources and success stories! A definite must-have if you want to join the Mompreneur industry!

Mompreneurs is a MUST HAVE resource for anyone wanting a home-based business. Everyone from start-ups to savvy entrepreneurs will benefit from their practical advice on working from home. It covers everything from discovering your passion, finding the right business, telecommuting, marketing, and work-from-home survival tips. Their "slice of life" interviews with real work at home moms offer valuable insight into conquering the challenges of working from home. Keep this one on your desktop for handy reference - you'll use it often!

Moms on the go need this book. As a syndicated family/parentng columnist and author of Mommy-CEO, Revised Edition, I am always online. I spend between 4 to 5 hours a day writing and submitting articles and columns online to various websites, newspapers and magazines. Needless to say, I needed valuable tips to help me plug into my daily plans. I get many copies of books and this one is a keeper.

I'd like to also recommend another new book called, The Entrepreneurial Parent, which similar to Mompreneurs, has doable and practical tips on making the most of working from home. Together, they make a great backup system to many unanswered questions.

I love this book. I was checking it out of the library for information and decided I had to have it. If you are a beginner it speaks in clear understandable language. If you are experianced, it covers all aspects of gardening and in a clear organized manner that helps you plan your entire year. His check off lists are handy and his attitude is what makes this book so enjoyable. Buy one for yourself and one for a friend.

This is my garden bible. Although I use other specialized garden books like the Sunset Western Garden Book for detailed plant info., this is the one that tells me exactly when to do what to which plants month-by-month, including how-to sketches. There's nothing better for SoCal gardeners!

I am just beginning the adventure into the world of gardening. This is our first house and after two years my husband and I are finally installing our yards. I was looking for a definative book about how to garden in Southern California, Ms. Welsh's book more than fit the bill. Her book is full of gardening ideas and monthly schedules that spread the chores out over the 12 months of the year leaving a lot of time for enjoyment. As a novice, I now feel more confident cruising the nurseries and homecenters looking for the perfect plant because I have a better understanding of the maintenance and care needed.

I got this book from the library and I'm so glad I found it!

Rialla -being a runaway slave from Darran- is asked to spy on one of Darrans lords and prevent his assassination. She would be disguised as a slave traveling with his mercenary brother, who is also her dearest friend.

Being a slave again will awaken her dormant powers & thrust her into unseen dangers of evil mages, night creatures & strange healers.
Nothing happens as planned and no one is as they seem.

There aren't any dragons in this story, Steal a dragon is a game they play that is similar to chess...A game of strategy & cunning.

A very good fantasy read, strong heroine, full of action, mystery & love.
Read it if you can get your hands on it.

This book has it all! Magic, slaves, romance, mystery and of course a kick ... ex slave girl who is sent to spy on the bad guy. This book was so good i read it all in one sitting. The only problem with it is that its so hard to find. I mean this book sells for 60-70$ at online auctions, why dont they reprint it?

Anyhow get this book if you can, pay the high price, its that good!

I read WHEN DEMONS WALK first because it was easier to find, and I really enjoyed it. So I started looking for a reasonably priced copy of STEAL THE DRAGON. It is even better. You can't go wrong with either of these books.

Don't be misled by the somewhat cheesy title or the fact that the author's name is Dr. Patricia LOVE-this is an excellent book that provides a much needed reality check to both married and unmarried couples alike. Whether you're having relationship problems or experiencing smooth sailing with your partner, this book is a highly recommended "must read." Filled with practical advice, The Truth About Love takes an honest look at the nature of love in all it's myriad forms and walks you through and shows you how to cope with the various stages that all relationships go through. Dr. Love shows that true love is truly a lot of work but that it if you're serious about it, it can be one of the most rewarding jobs in life. My boyfriend and I read this a year ago in an effort to better understand one another and to work through some issues we were having-not only did this book relieve some anxieties that we both were experiencing but it brought us closer together. Love is more than a feeling; it's a journey that you take with another person and both of you are active participants in how that journey unfolds. So make the most of it and read this book.

I think this book is one of the greatest love books ever written. I love the fact how doctor Love explains the biology of love and the diffrent phases love goes through. You will defintely love this book. Also you will gain so much knowledge. This book is a must for everyone, whether you single, married, or divorced. This book is the BOMB!

Thanx's Dr. Love for such a terrific book.

As a newly married couple this book is a wonderful starting point to help us discuss our views on our relationship, trust, commitment and what it means to support each other and how to show appreciation. It's also a great way to begin building our home that is a haven for us. This book will be an invaluable tool for us as we define and grow into our roles. It will also be great to revisit it as we need for course corrections or for hints on ways to discover more and share more with each other.

This is a good book. It is about a girl who is trying to find her place in the world and who she is. Thomas J helps her too. Her mother died when she was a baby.

Its so good... ITs about a girl going through problems and not having a mother because she died.Her father having a girlfriend dosent help her!Then latter in the book she faces the worst thing posible...?

I thought this book was very good and I would recommend it to anyone of any age.Even if u are an adult you will enjoy this book because it is about life and it tells about the kids ife and the adults ife in the story.It took me about a week to read this book because I had school but when Ihad time i would pick it up and read it.I also liked the movie that they came out with and I would definetly recommend it to any person of any age !!

As I write this, this book is on back order. This is a great resource for primary teachers who would like explicit information on how to do a word wall and use many activities for using word families, etc. to teach phonics. But don't bother waiting for this book to be available again. Get the 3rd edition! It's worth the extra money. I purchased the 2nd edition several months ago, but when I examined the 3rd edition at the library, I noticed there seem to be many more activities and games for teaching phonics. The 3rd edition easily gets a 5+ star rating from me. It would be an invaluable resource, especially for new teachers! Making Words, by Cunningham and Hall is a good companion if you need help with the making words activities.

This book is full of great activities and strategies for teaching reading. It is not like the typical phonics lessons found in workbooks and basal series. You won't even know that you are teaching phonics! Who ever thought it could be fun! The kids love it and the teachers who use it do too!

I too had this for my reading methods class. I totally agree with the other responses. It is an excellent reference book

Well I actually read this one after I had read "To Have and To Hold" and I think I preferred the story of the 2nd book better. Gaffney does seem to have a knack of unusual storylines for romances.

Anne is a very "hard to like" heroine IMO. Her views on life, religion, marriage is a bit jaded and cynical. Christy is very likable, being the Honest-to-the-bone Vicar. Be prepared for a book that does not fit the honey sweetness of your typical romance novels. Anne is a married woman, married to Christy's long time best friend (although he and Christy have not spoken for years). There are some strange circumstances around their marriage which is revealed in the book but it is left up to the reader how such a condition came about......

I like the fact that Anne eventually becomes less cynical and I love the fact that Christy didn't betray his beliefs to have her. That all ways works out better in romance if this can be achieved. I would recommend reading these books in order though, this being the first. So you can see how Ms. Gaffney sets up the different people in this cozy village.

Happy Reading

Another very fine read, which is what I've come to expect from Gaffney. What was most intriguing about this book was the heroine, Anne's, somewhat jaded, cynical and self-deprecating outlook on life(usually that's the man's role in a romance novel). The hero was noble and good, sexy and romantic, and the romance between Christian, "Christy," and Anne is divine.

The anti-hero is not your typical brutish lout - a bit more interesting and well-defined than the outragiously monstrous, errant husbands in novels with similar plots.

In "To Love and To Cherish," Gaffney respects the vicar's Protestant beliefs. Rich in textured descriptions of characters and the quaint village of Wyckerly, one never feels Gaffney is just filling up page space; rather, you are transported to another place and time.

Highly recommended.

This is the first book of a wonderful series. Patricia Gaffney has created a beautiful English village and an incredible love story between the local vicar and a married woman. I loved it!

I have always liked mysterys, but the ones I normally read weren't very interesting. These books always keep me surprised. I like the way they always take a sudden twist at the end to make the least likely suspect the culprit.

This book was AWESOME! I like mysteries but I couldn't find any aimed for my age group (13 almost 14) that weren't gruesome! This is one of the best series out there in my opinion! Jennie McGrady Rocks! I love the romance too. Theese books don't have a dull moment yet they have a good value system, none of that aweful stuff!

Too Many Secrets is a fabulous book by Patricia H. Rushford! It's main charcter is Jennie McGrady, a 16 year old girl whose father disappered, a mother whose dating another guy and a 5 year old brother Nick. It's about Jennie suspecting that her grandmother is missing or had been kidnapped and went in search of her. While she's searching for her, Jennie's relationship with Ryan, a boy who lives next door to her grandmother's, grew. Together, Jennie and Ryan uncover devious plots, friends that are foe and puts their life on the line in order to save Jennie's grandmother. I recommend this book to readers that like a good mystery combining romance! It is a great book that truly outlines problems of life. This is a Christian book, though I am not Christian, I still found this book real thrilling. Way to go and keep on writing Patricia Rushford!

Classic British cuisine for the modern world. Baroque indulgence as opposed to lean, mean, designer fare. Something for everyone, from the experienced cook to the beginner. Served up in a very witty style.

For those who can't cook and would like to impress their friends, not to worry - just whip up some Cosmopolitan cocktails (vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice ...mmmmmmm) and Welsh Rarebit Souffles (gourmet version of cheese on toast) with salad on the side. If you can't manage those, I suggest cooking classes.

Intermediate and experienced cooks will find many recipes for soups, fish, fowl, meat and game and vegetable sides which are also easy to adjust to one's own taste. I myself don't follow all the recipes slavishly but use them for inspiration, tweaking a bit here and there to suit available ingredients and personal taste. In addition, there are a few rabbit recipes, which I found useful - organic rabbit meat has just become available in my town.

There is something for every occasion, from leek soup to trout in a good French rose (the wine). For every budget as well - from cheap fish and cuts to pheasant and salmon.

For the cutting edge postmodernist cook, I suggest Fragomammella (Strawberry Breasts), taken from the Italian Futurist Cookbook and Penis Stew (apparently an old Orthodox Jewish recipe).

The core of the book is classic British cuisine (Beef Wellington and grouse anyone?) with a world twist - a touch of the medieval and Elizabethan, India, Singapore, Spain, Russia, I can't count the countries that inspire some of the recipes. If you don't fancy British, there is a good recipe for Singapore Prawns with Bugis Street Sauce. Lots of down to earth recipes as well as haute cuisine fare - tripe and onions, the classic tomato tart, even an American inspired Strawberry Shortcake.

I myself am weak on desserts but Plum Kuchen looks yummy and not to difficult to attempt. Chocolate souffle is included for those more classically minded.

In my humble opinion - a Desert Island Keeper of a cookbook.

Okay, off on yet another one of my anglophillic, praise-ridden reviews, but sometimes, or even very often, British entertainment is just miles and miles more evolved, and less consumed with the shallow crap, we Americans tend to be consumed with. (I guess I'm speaking more about the Two Fat Ladies Cooking Show on Food Network than this book.)
Here are two hefty and darling women, cooking and meandering through England, making hearty, stick-to-your ribs dishes. Yum. Okay, I have to draw the line at the Penis stew, but for the most part, wonderful recipes to inspire any chef.

When my beloved and I want to cook something special -- one of our favorite hobbies -- we check out the Two Fat Ladies' cookbooks. (I recommend their previous two books, too). I love the stories and explanations that preceed the recipes -- they add depth and luster. I can't read the book for very long without feeling hungry. Their recipes are forgiving, leaving plenty of room for adaptation if you can't find an ingredient indiginous to England. Don't miss watching their series on the Food Network.

I recently attended one of Patricia Behnke's book signings and purchased "A Victoria Justice". When I began to read it, I literally could not put it down until I was finished. I cannot believe that this is her first novel. I cannot wait until she publishes her second. It will be a 5 Star without a doubt! She has been encouraged to send it to the Oprah Show, since the subject matter involves much of what Oprah likes to discuss: ~deals with issues of racism and prejudices

~examines hypocrisies of small minds ~takes a nostalgic look back at the '70s while still examining contemporary issues ~explores the coming of age of one woman who endures many hardships ~examines the dynamics in an abusive relationship Don't hesitate for one minute to buy this book from a fresh, new author.

This book surprised me; it was not what I thought it would be when I first started it. The subject of race relations in the 1970s is volatile in and of itself, but complicate it with a love story that is tainted with abuse and this drama takes on a realism that is thought-provoking. The young couple in this book have a lot going against them. Can they overcome the obstacles the members of a small town with a social hierarchy and a penchant for furtive gossiping have put in front of them? Read this book, not only for the story, but for the excellent writing. Behnke keeps you turning the pages.

Patricia Behnke has written a compelling first novel about small town life and the effects of hypocrisy, racism, and hidden abuses stemming from all quarters of the community, not just the protagonists. Beverly and James, the main characters, are vividly characterized as very real people with obvious strengths and weaknesses. Behnke writes honestly and gives both Beverly and James negative and positive character traits, making the novel work for the reader on all levels. One is even able to sympathize with the abuser, because the hypocrisy in this small town is rampant, and the reader begins to understand how one thing leads to another.....and another.....and another. If you like strong characterization and a readable, flowing story, you'll love A Victorian Justice!
