Guilherme Mesquita crizerhd — This book is my hair-care bible... and that is a lot coming from a low maintenance woman like me. A MUST read for any and all curly girls!!

Ana Sondej anasondej — ** spoiler alert ** *I got this book as an ARC from Goodreads FirstReads* This book took me a little while to get into. The writing style actually changes part way into the book, which is a little strange, but the portion after the change was much easier for me to read. The writing at the beginning is beautiful- full of images that are both beautiful and unique. However, those images actually took me out of the story and seemed to slow down the pace of the book. I could tell when Simon Van Booy really started to get into the lives of his characters because the plot suddenly seemed to matter more than the pretty images- finally the book was going somewhere! And then Rebecca, the girl who seems to be the main character, dies. And that was only halfway through the novel. Talk about throwing the reader for a loop... There are 4 "books" and an epilogue- which you don't discover until you reach the end of book one... halfway through the novel. And each "book" is shorter than the previous one. This wouldn't bug me so much except that I got used to book one, where Rebecca was the main character and everything was written in 3rd person narrative. Book two switches to 2nd person narrative as Henry, who is about as depressed as can be after he and George find Rebecca dead. There's even a chunk of book two that isn't narrative at all- it's images of letters Henry sends to George. Book three continues in 2nd person narrative. In book four, Henry has finally recovered, several years later, from his misery, which is a relief partly because being in Henry's head was exhausting and because we're finally back to 3rd person narration. I guess I just felt like the format wasn't consistent enough- every change reminded me that I was reading a book, not experiencing a story. Overall, I thought the book was okay. Not a book I'm likely to pick up and read again though.

Diogmes Kermanny diogmesnen — Tora Hamilton is a consultant gynaecologist who has recently moved to Shetland with her husband. Shetland is a group of remote islands North of Scotland. One day she’s digging in the field near her house and finds a body in the peat. Initially assumed to be a centuries-old body, nail polish on the toenails reveal that the woman must be from a more recent time. Tora informs the police, and as she works at the hospital, is involved in the autopsy of the body. However, both her boss and her husband suggest that she forget what has happened and leave the investigation to the police. She accepts this to start with, but becomes suspicious of their motives later on. However, the female police officer in charge, Dana, who initially is quite cool towards Tora, does involve her in the case and together they find out more than they could have ever believed. A good read, a quick read, and a compelling read. Yes, I read this book in two days or so, all 550 pages! I liked Tora, the main character, a lot and found the building up of the working relationship and (later) friendship between Dana, the police offer and Tora believable. I also wanted them to be friends! The story itself is complex, although it starts off simple enough and new elements are added to the story in a well-paced manner. The end result was a little unlikely, I thought. It was a combination of folklore, greed, and serial killing – a bit much in one story. Also, the main character, Tora, managed to survive a number of dangerous situations, and not ending up dead after just one of them was miraculous enough. Still, the story was entertaining and it kept me greedily reading more, so suspend your disbelief somewhat and you’ll have a great thriller!

Gauri Wandalkar gauriwandalkar — One of the best books I have read in the last year. The true story of a young Peace Corps volunteer who works with a midwife in rural Mali. If you're interested in women's issues in the developing world--and can handle some gruesome childbirth stories--you'll enjoy. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

виолетта канафьева kanafeva20ac70 — In retrospect, this is probably not all that great a book. It is somewhat melodramatic and over-wrought, and the main character tends toward the whiny. However, when I was 12, it was AWESOME. Possibly because when I was 12 I tended to be melodramatic, over-wrought, and rather whiny...much like many other young teenage girls.

Jeffrey Wong jeffreykhwong — I needed a refresher on odds since I haven't played in awhile. Has a great set of charts in the back on hand vs. hand that would be very beneficial for Sit and Go's.
