La Fonten Masalları - Jean de la Fontaine ücretsiz kitap indir

Heck Yeah heckyeahmissus — A brilliant book! Jane Austen knew the female psyche very well, which is a major reason her books are still so relevant and popular today, even though the lives of women in the Western world, are very different from what they were two hundred years ago. What drawbacks does such a classic have? The English of the novel is that of two hundred years ago, which can be challenging. Also, Austen did a lot of narration- telling rather than showing. Somehow, Austen was masterful (or would that be "mistressful"?) enough that these anachronisms only serve to add to the character and charm of the book, and make it even more timeless.

Kickatomic Creatives kickatomic — The first book that I read by Dawkins.

Matheus Martins matiart — I got a free gift from Love Inspired the other day, a larger print version of Restless Hearts by Marta Perry. So when the guys sat down to watch the soccer match (Liverpool won) I curled up to nurse the dregs of a day-long headache and quietly read. I found that my reading rate, with headache, is approximately one Love Inspired romance per soccer match, but perhaps I’d have to read a few more samples to confirm that. Unfortunately, even though their prices are really good, and only a dollar extra for the larger print, my books budget is currently dead in the water. I guess the experiment will have to wait a while. Restless Hearts was a pleasant way to end my day. I was slightly dubious about yet another book set in Amish country—why do I see so many of them in the stores? But the characters were interesting, particularly as the protagonist shared most of my pre- and misconceptions about the culture. I learned things I hadn’t known about the Pennsylvania Dutch. And I enjoyed the insights into relationships, the misunderstandings of caring people that turn into bitter anger, and the hope that heals. The book is clearly a Christian novel, but I was pleasantly surprised by how naturally it was written. I’ve read other Christian novels that assume I’ll agree with everything said, or that paint any non-Christian as hopeless sinner or saint-about-to-be-redeemed. In Restless Hearts the faith of the characters was just a part of how they felt. It came into their despair as much as their hope, and led to questions answered by the lessons of life. Fiona comes to her father’s family in Pennsylvania, with secrets about her mother and her past. The sudden, accidental revelation of some of those secrets threatens to destroy her hopes of being a midwife to the Amish. Meanwhile the local policeman has secrets of his own, and… Well, it is a romance. I enjoyed the book. I’m not sure what qualified me for a free gift, let alone a larger print free gift—oh dear, am I getting old? But I did enjoy it. And the guys enjoyed the soccer. Did I mention, Liverpool won!
