NO LAUGHING MATTER
As a counselor at a center for abused children, Donna Day knew what secrets could do to a person--and comedian Martin Knight was chock-full of secrets. Strong, sexy and blessed with a sense of humor that could make the saddest child smile, Marty had won over Donna's "kids"--and her, too. But behind his funny facade and carefree charm lay something tragic....
Telling jokes was easier than telling the truth, and the punchline of Marty's past was nothing to laugh at. How could he open up to delectable Donna if he couldn't even open up to himself? But how was he supposed to resist a feisty, freckled redhead who could make him forget everything with one slow, steamy kiss?

Miss Vanessa Lester was much loved by her father and was trained in management of his estate just as a male heir would have been. Vanessa inherits all of Halverton when her father passes away and his will also sets aside a generous settlement for Vanessa's mother, Lady Cecily. The settlement, however, will only come to Lady Cecily once Vanessa is married.

Lady Cecily is determined to set up her own household in London and escape the country forever and tries to convince Vanessa to go to London for the season. When Vanessa holds firm in her decision to stay at Halverton until the proper mourning period is over Lady Cecily decides to bring suitors to Vanessa and marry her off as soon as possible.

This is an enjoyable book. Vanessa is a sensible, practical girl and has little problem seeing past her mother's scheming. She runs her estate very well, is kind to her servants and tenants and enjoys local society. She is quite feminine, despite her knowledge of estate manners. She is also romantic and has decided that if she "did not discover that one very special gentleman she felt was meant for her" she was prepared to remain unmarried. I enjoyed reading about her suitors and the bit of intrigue involving smuggling and spying was a nice addition to the plot. Occasionally the story was a little slow, but overall it was a good book and I would recommend it to others.

"Memories of Peace and War" is an autobiography by MG Beaumont B. Buck, a colorful personality who lived through some of our nation's more turbulent times with style and panache. The book recounts some highlights of his post-Civil War childhood and military career beginning with his appointment to West Point, following through assignments on the frontier, to the Philippines in the Spanish-American War, and culminating with his service in the First Infantry Division and then in command of Third Infantry Division in France during World War I (The Division had already earned the appelation "Rock of the Marne" by then.). Although there are some descriptions of his battle experiences, he does not dwell on these in any great detail and in fact scarcely mentions the actual events that earned him the Distinguished Service Cross (second only to the Medal of Honor). The military historian will not find much in the way of battle analysis or political commentary here; the anecdotes are far more personal and provide some humourous and poignant vignettes of the life of a military man in those days. When the book was published in 1935, MG Buck was already 75 years old and no doubt considered his career a closed chapter in history; but the reader may appreciate knowing that he remained an active public speaker and proponent of readiness in the armed forces up until his death at age 90, in 1950 (at a San Antonio event where he was a guest of honor!).

You should know that this isn't a board book like the others in the series. It is very thin. The information pages are okay. A little much for small children, but I am glad to have this in our library. It's good to take along to church for sacrament meeting reading. It is nice to have the articles of faith in a book to help the kids memorize them.

this book contains sections written by a number of experienced, top registrars at museums across the nation. they know their business, and although the methods will doubtless vary from museum to museum, it gives a good overview (although a few of the authors do go into painful detail) of the registration process. for the most part it's a great book on a hard-to-find subject.

This book uses repetition and easy vocabulary to tell the story of a little girl and cats. Simple enough for even beginning readers, this is sure to please young cat lovers everywhere! The illustrations complement the words nicely and make it appealing to young children.

this book that i need, because i still student i have no much money to buy it, i am from indonesia, pekanbaru city, my address : dodi heriadi jl. abimanyu no 1 simpang tiga pekanbaru riau indonesia

I waited more than 15 years for this book. Book 1 (first Power Play) came with a C64 game. It was good.

a rewrite of the original version which was destroyed before published, it's astonishingly reader-friendly...for a book on psychology. It includes some light humour which are both entertaining and relaxing on a rather heavy topic; the writer constantly puts in mind his reader being musicians or even his students from his past. A great book overall. Definitely enjoyable.
