Toplumsal Tarih Dergisi Sayı: 224 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

So, here's the deal. While I was reading the book, my first thoughts were generally, "Alright, alright... this is pretty interesting... cool, okay.." But, somewhere before reaching the midpoint, I started wondering why I was still reading. I didn't quite get where it was all going, it was just a pack of kids smoking and drinking together while simultaneously going to school. Who cares? I stuck through and it got better and better. The story isn't complicated, but it is thought provoking. A lot of what is written is very, very beautiful and gets the reader thinking, as well as developing other perspectives. There are messages and lessons to take out from reading this novel. I definitely recommend it. It's the first John Green book I've ever read, but it certainly will not be the last.

Vegetarian Times magazine was the first veg*n magazine I ever read. I no longer read it, even though I know it now contains many more vegan recipes (and they’re labeled as such!) than when I read it a few decades ago. But, when I saw this book I was very interested in reading it, particularly because it’s doubtful I’ve previously seen any of the recipes in their magazine, given how many years it’s been since I’ve been a subscriber, and I’m so grateful they’ve created an all vegan cookbook. It’s a very accessible cookbook. Most of the recipes seem relatively easy to make, and some use convenience foods such as canned beans, yet most of the recipe are reasonably healthy. I’d personally not use salt and would use less oil, at least in the savory dishes, but those adjustments are easy to make. Most of the ingredients look as though they’d be easy to find. The subtitle of the book is: 250+ Easy, Healthy Recipes for food lovers and compassionate cooks. The Contents: Acknowledgments, Introduction, Foreword (by [Neal D. Barnard]!), Cooking and Prep Terms, Menu Ideas (for every kind of special occasion imaginable), and then the recipes: Starters; Drinks; Burgers and Sandwiches; Salads; Pasta and Noodles; Rice and Whole Grains; Tofu, Tempeh, and Seitan; Vegetables; Easy Beans and Lentils; Baked Goodies: yeast breads, quick breads, biscuits, and scones; Sweet Treats; and Sauces, Dips, Spreads, Jams, and Marinades. Then, there are the Sources and the Index. The sources aren’t comprehensive but are still fabulous and include resources for: Good, Clean Food and Vegan Nutrition, Community, and Education and Tools That Rule: Kitchen Must-Haves. If it will take 30 minutes or less to make a recipe, that is mentioned at the recipes. All recipes have nutritional information for calories, protein, total fat/saturated fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol (0 of course!), sodium, fiber, and sugars. There isn’t a photo for every recipe, but there are quite a few photos and they’re all lovely, with each completed recipe beautifully presented. It’s a very attractive book. Each recipe has a little text blurb about it, and many of the recipes also have other tips and info on their pages. The recipes I’m most eager to try are the Spaghetti with Roasted Broccoli “Pesto”, Butternut Squash Risotto with Pesto, Vegetable Paella with Tofu, Baked Leek and Sweet Potato Gratin, Bulgar and Curried Potatoes and Peas, Quinoa and Spinach Soup, Curried Lentils with Cauliflower, Moroccan Pumpkin and Lentils, Colcannon, Tofu Baked with Peanut Sauce, Twice Cooked Polenta Wedges with Black Eyed Pea Salsa, Roasted Asparagus Tapenade, Casablanca Quinoa Salad, Garlicky Oven Fries, Vegan Moussaka, Refried Beans, Chard and Pearl Barley Soup, Moroccan Harira, and Fresh Tomato Farfalle. And, even though I like getting my calories from food and drink mostly water and occasionally tea, I’m very intrigued and would like to try the Frozen Hot Chocolate Smoothie and the Homemade Ginger Ale. There are also many tempting desserts, quite a few of the decadent type, the type I tend to enjoy most. I wouldn’t make the garlic bread as is, but the Garlic Bread recipe gave me an idea of how I can continue to make garlic bread, even though I’ve pretty much given up Earth Balance spread for health reasons, at least for now. I borrowed this from the library, and though I doubt I’ll buy it (I have limited funds so have to be very selective about my book purchases, and I also already own over 100 vegan cookbooks and rarely use them) I think it’s a fine vegan cookbook.

This book is so dry and long. Had to force myself to read it. It does paint a very detailed picture of Istanbul. I want to go now

** spoiler alert ** I have never understood why this has become a common term used when talking about "great love stories." It ends with the suicides of two teenagers. But I do like what it has to say about class and family.

Gece Yarısı Uyanışı - Lara Adrian TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Epsilon Yayınları

Special Topics... has certainly stirred the passions of readers and critics...especially those who love-to-hate first novels by young, successful authors. At the sight of Marisha Pessl's author photo -- lovely, unsmiling introspective waif -- I had to hold down my hate reflex with both arms, both legs, and my forehead. Yet twenty pages later, any evidence of hate (or even a struggle) was gone. I was captivated. Blue Van Meer lost her mother at a very young age and now hops around the country with her uber-academic, Clooney-esque father, a political science professor. They decide to spend her senior year of high school in one place -- Stockton, NC -- where Blue attends a prestigious private school and attracts the interest of Hannah Schneider, a beautiful and mysterious film studies teacher who mentors an exclusive clique of students, the Bluebloods. The closer our heroine gets to this group and to Hannah, and the more she uncovers about a series of mysterious deaths, the more she discovers about her own past. The mystery made my heart pound and my inner teenager recall the taste of liquor mixed with lip balm. Pessl reveals -- subtlely but powerfully -- that difference between how teenagers see their lives (a whirlwind of importance, majesty, and despair) and the reality of them. Blue is so smart and well-read, yet she's also believably naive, self-critical, self-aggrandizing. I also love how Pessl describes the relationship between Blue and her father. It's hard to write father-daughter stuff in a way that isn't cheesy or disturbing, but this works. I do have some issues with the rendering of Hannah and the Bluebloods...I wanted to know more about them and their relationships with Blue but wound up just thinking rather poorly of them--which was disappointing. And it's weird that someone named Blue would be in a clique called the Bluebloods. (Excuse me while I put on some Joni Mitchell.) The way this book is written is noteworthy, but style and form illuminate rather than eclipse the story. Special Topics... is organized like a college syllabus for a lit course; each chapter is named after a novel that is at least loosely thematically related (Wuthering Heights, Women in Love, and so forth) to its contents, and throughout, no source is left uncited. Well beyond its ToC, the book pokes fun at academia and living too much in books/films/etc., but it does so with such joy...the cited quotations bloom from, rather than merely garnish, the text. They also show what a life of reading gives us...what a gift it can be. I was reminded of the debate in History Boys about using quotations as little showy flourishes vs. using them to really engage with an issue. Pessl does both, and she pokes fun at the former while showing the limitations even of the latter. And I must say that I love the voluptuous vocabulary of this book, its brimming wit and beauty; it feels just right for these characters and this story. Special Topics is not a perfect book, and there were certainly moments when I rolled my eyes (but I imagine that Pessl will roll hers too, or is already rolling them, as she ages gracefully into an even better writer) at the grandiosity of it all. But I'm grateful that people are willing to go there, to write like this and feel like this and create a world and a character I wanted to stay with for much, much longer. "Spare" writing has its place, but so does the lush. I applaud it.

You will be sorry if you don't read this book. It will change your life. At least, it will change your life in the city. I'm very serious.

Apollon’Un Görevleri 2:Karanlık Kehanet - Rick Riordan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

This book can be used when teaching about family. I really liked how the mother disciplined David, but at the end she told him that she loves him. Sometimes the students may not understand why teachers and parents are telling them no and they may think that it's we are just being mean. I think with this book you can show the students you are just looking out for their best interest. It can also be used on the first day of school when you are discussing rules.

Lego Ninjago Şehri Tehlikede! TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Egmont Yayıncılık

Extremely confusing to read, no chapters within the book, and not a single likable character. I stuck with it for the mystery surrounding the murder, but the ending did not make it worth the time investment or the confusion as the reader.

Vahşet’in Çağrısı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Fark Yayınları

When I first started this book, I didn't really get into it. In fact, it became over-due at the library and I needed to return it. I checked it out again and gave it another try because Stephenie Meyer recommended it on her website and I always know what is recommends is going to be good. This time I listened to it on CD in the car because that is when I have time to read fun things right now. It got to where I would want to drive somewhere so I could listen to it. I was sad though the direction the love interest took. That's just not nice of an author to do! I'm excited to read the next one though! Nice to have a book I really enjoyed. It's beenn a long time.
