For: The oak and the larch

The oak and the larch.....

There are no images nor photos in the book, aside from a couple of dark ink pictures of no interest to a knowledgeable reader ! And if you happen to come from real Russia/or Soviet Union, you definitely KNOW more about beautiful Forests, rivers and Karelia or it's islands than the author. I do not suggest this book to anyone of Russian descent.

For:

On ANIMALS and their human handlers.

While I had just started reading this book, I would like to state, that it Has NO ILLUSTRATIONS nor photography whatsoever as the description of the book STATES ! Plus, the text is all about author, and not the ANIMALS. I understand, some young and even old folks like to brag about themselves, but while lacking the evidence of the latter, it becomes boring and superficial and totally undesirable. I do not suggest this or any material of this woman-writer, to anyone.

For: Forget Me Not (Original)

Forget Me Not.

This particular novel is way below expectations: its intrigues and families' intimate scandal (s) are pretty disgusting. I thought, I would enjoy her second book after reading her other book about man losing his memory and meeting his actual wife and falling in love with her the second time around. But this "Forget me not" is a total disgrace of the author's potential ability and trust, I have had for her.

For: The Library Book

The book about library fire in LA, CA in 1987.

Pretty dark and scary... Part conspiracy into the fire ignition, part strange weird chain of librarians who headed that library from the 19th century to the 20th century. I didn't find the book interesting or uplifting. I would not recommend it to anyone.

For: Lessons from Lucy : The Simple Joys of an Old, Hap...

Lessons from LUCY.

I laughed and cried while reading the "Lessons from Lucy". Probably at a rate of 50/50. The symbolic intention of it being is we all crave love, acceptance and understanding. When it's not readily available, the next best thing is your best friend forever is the dog companionship.

For: Taming clint westmoreland and a malibu kind of rom...

Taming Clint Westmoreland.

First part of the book (only !) is by Ms. Brenda Jackson who had written a good romantic story: mild and passion. In a good "clean" way. But the book, unfortunately, has another story by a totally different writer (Ms. Williams) that's is not well-written, at all...!. On top of that, there was NO mentioning about the volume Including a second writer's work, at all.

For: The family you make

the family you make....

Please pass over it ! As it is absolutely non-starter, nonsense and not any kind of literature, whatsoever. Just a waste of paper. Plus, you do not want to see Gondolas in the mountains.... As they belong in Venus, Italy, exclusively.

For: Felicia\'s Favorites

Felicia's "favorite"

A total (almost to a tee) repetition of author's great book " The House" except that the "Favorites" is written very poorly, with abounding amounts of grammatically, stylistically errors that are not ... hidden, at all, but right in your face here ! What a disgrace and a shame ! I only hope, the author (my favorite one, at that) is NOT to blame. But rather, her staff, team or or (so-called) editors... in disguise.

For: The happiness of pursuit

The happy pursuits.

Very scary, uncommon desires, but what for... is hidden. Doesn't read well and, to my view, weird and non-aspiring or inspiring, at all. As we mostly here are unable to see the Person itself....
