Çocukların Sevdiği 365 Yaratıcı Oyun - Judith Gray kitap ücretsiz indir pdf

Sara Girotto saragirotto — This was my favorite of all the infinite crisis tie-ins I read during that one insane weekend in 2009. I just loved the idea of the team, and I fell in love with all of the characters right away. Imagine my happiness when I found out that there was an ongoing Secret Six series! It's still one of my favorite ongoings, for a good reason. It's funny and dark and twisted but Gail Simone simply tells great stories with the help of even greater characters who are genuinely interesting.

忠義 鳥巣 torihabird2524 — Even though I am a huge Fan of Margaret Weis and Tracy hickman, this book, just could not keep my interest in it

Mike Mike mikeportfoc8d3 — It was funny, I was kind of dreading reading this book (read it for book club) but then once I started it, it was hard to put down! It really made me think about the relationship between mothers & daughters, and also adoption and my own ideas about adopting a child -vs- having my own.

Lukas Bauer lukasbauer6939 — ** spoiler alert ** Unfortunately, both Lost Souls and Dead Town are actually a bit redundant. After the first three excellent books, originally intended to be a trilogy, Koontz decided to write a second trilogy to continue the adventures of Deucalion and his battle against Victor Frankenstein. Koontz never made it that far. Both the fourth and fifth book aren't bad. Actually, they are still enjoyable but the story has lost it's pacing and thrill. A new threat is introduced with the clone of Victor, who continued his plan to wipe out humanity with some minor variations, only to be stopped (again) by Deucalion and the two (now former) homicide detectives Carson and Michael. Even Koontz himself must've realised that he was copying a great story but that it was the same story he'd already written. The planned sixth book never got written and the series wraps up with Dead Town. Like i said, it's not that it's a bad story. There's still enough to enjoy but it's not enough to recommend both this book and it's sequel. Read the first three books and then stop. There are lot of better books out there. A lot of those are even written by Koontz, it's just that Lost Souls and Dead Town aren't among those.

Apparel Lovers apparel_and_lovers — This was the last in a recent glut of 'food' books that began with Julia Child - apparently lots of other people wanted to read it because I waited in a long virtual line at the library for it. I'd moved on to other things by the time it arrived and hadn't really expected to do more than glance through the first chapter before putting it down. Instead I stayed up too late to finish it and only fell asleep once. The description of her father's lamb roasting party, woven into her local-food rural idyllic upbringing, was lovely and lulled me into the sense that this would be like those books where milking your own cow is better than graduating from Harvard, where children are home-schooled and end up with perfect scores and Nobel prizes - in other words, all things modern are bad. I actually like those books, at some level, because there is a lot we do wrong with 'modern'. Then, of course, she turns 13 and her life explodes and the book moves on to what I thought she accurately described as Pippi Longstocking fantasy - though I added "Pippi Gone Wild". She isn't terribly angry at her folks, interestingly enough, though places the blame of circumstance at their feet (fairly). I enjoyed what I often enjoy in books about food - the passionate obsession the author pours into writing about their passionate obsession. Why would someone become a chef or cook if they didn't absolutely, completely love food? She points out they must also love the life because its hell, but I was even a bit...well, intrigued and enamored of 'the life' reading her descriptions. And I dabbled a bit and got out. Quickly. She is right though - there is a certain family-ness to the restaurant/food business, usually dysfunctional but also supportive and very hard to leave. She talks about food and about her experiences in Italy with the same devotion, though not the same achievement of joy, as Julia Child. I expect she is still working on the joy part - for most of us, it is a journey. Outside of the food writing, I enjoyed a few other parts of the book. First, was a description of conversations with her sister that was lovely and descriptive of how the women in my family communicate: "But her purpose is not merely to convey to me the story or the information until I have comprehended. Her purpose is to take a long luxurious bath in my ear and to disgorge the entire unedited contents of her brain - with sidebars, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, and repetitions - so that she can examine those contents. She is processing." Exactly. I book marked the page (154). She also had interesting comments on the Woman in the Culinary Arts that resonated. Someone introduced her as one of the "top female chefs" and she wondered why the description had to include 'female'. Why couldn't she just be one of the top chefs? She pointed out that for many women, there is the agony of deciding what to wear - not because they are all about fashion, but because they don't know what will present themselves the most professionally, feminine but not girly, reliable but not 'sturdy'...while men just put on pants. I am the least conscious dresser (as I am told when its pointed out that lime green socks may not have been the best choice with maroon pants), but her comment made me think about the labels we put on things, almost unconsciously.

Subash Basnet subi061 — Jared Diamond's "Collapse" (sorry, haven't figured out how to underline yet) and this novel dovetail nicely. I picked up the one while I was reading the other and discovered that while a large chunk of Diamond's book is devoted to the decline of Greenland's tiny settlement, the entirety of Jane Smiley's book is a novelization of that very thing. Really gets ya up close and personal with the whole decline-and-fall process. Plus, you get to experience Smiley's beautifully clear, spare writing.

Mark Johnson _abin_ditor — Isn't amazing, but for a book to read on public transportation, I liked it. Made me keep wondering what happened to that news reporter who said "fuck you, man" to an annoying person behind him. Anyone know?
