Effect::: The book club

is about to get

a makeover....

Even if Megan would rather be at the mall, Cassidy is late for hockey practice, Emma's already read every book in existence, and Jess is missing her mother too much to care, the new book club is scheduled to meet every month.

But what begins as a mom-imposed ritual of reading Little Women soon helps four unlikely friends navigate the drama of middle school. From stolen journals, to secret crushes, to a fashion-fiasco first dance, the girls are up to their Wellie boots in drama. They can't help but wonder: What would Jo March do?

Acclaimed author Heather Vogel Frederick will delight daughters of all ages in a novel about the fabulousness of fiction, family, and friendship.User friendly.

About a year and a half, ago my daughter and I decided to start a Mother-Daughter book club with some of our friends. It has been a wonderful experience for me because I have had the opportunity to read books with my daughter and hear her thoughts. I also think it's been a great experience for my daughter because she is learning to delve a little deeper into books, and she is also getting much better at expressing her ideas. Needless to say, we are very passionate about our Mother-Daughter book club!

Now given that I am pretty involved in our mother-daughter book club and I read a lot of middle grade books because I have a daughter in that age range, I have no idea why I hadn't read THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB by Heather Vogel Frederick. This book is absolutely perfect for my daughter and me (and our book group.) I am so glad that I finally did because I was sure missing out on a wonderful middle grade book. I absolutely loved this book and its characters!

THE MOTHER -DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB tells the story of four young girls whose mothers (and one father) decide to start a mother-daughter book club. Since girls will be girls, there are many misunderstandings and mishaps (some intentional) along the way. I don't think I will ever get used to how catty girls can be to each other! The story is told from each of the girl's perspectives in alternating chapters. I loved that the author wrote the book this way because it allowed me to understand and appreciate each of the four girls. And, I have no doubt that young girls will definitely relate to at least one of the characters.

Another thing I really liked about this story was that it followed a mother-daughter book club. I loved getting some insight into another book group (even if it was fictional) and seeing how their meetings were held. Our group reads a different book each month, but the club in the story decided to read LITTLE WOMEN over the course of an entire school year. (I happen to love this idea, but I'm not sure it would fly in our group.) I really appreciated how the author incorporated the story and characters of LITTLE WOMEN into the book. The book takes place in the town where Louisa May Alcott lived; and the girls not only visit her home, but they also dress as their favorite character. After reading THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB, my daughter and I both are ready to read LITTLE WOMEN!

I enjoyed this book so much that I didn't want it to end -- I still think these girls have a lot more stories in them. I was very happy to learn that THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB is the first book in a series. Two more books are available -- MUCH ADO ABOUT ANNE (the girls read and discuss ANNE OF GREEN GABLES) and the recently released DEAR PEN PAL (the girls read DADDY-LONG-LEGS.) I can't wait to read these two books too!

THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB is ideal for young girls because it deals with many of the same issues that they face everyday -- peer pressure, mother/daughter relationships, jealousy, insecurity, etc. I was so excited to find that there is a reading guide available in the back of the paperback version. There is also a section on recommended future reading and a worksheet to help the girls come up with some of their personal goals. And since book club wouldn't be complete without yummy food, the author has included some recipes of snacks that they girls in the book served at their own meetings. I really do think this book is ideal for mother-daughter book clubs, and I can't recommend it enough!

It Happened One Autumn (The Wallflowers, Book 2)

NEW! It Happened One Autumn (The Wallflowers, Book 2) with Free shipping

Effect:::

It happened at the ball . . .

Where beautiful but bold Lillian Bowman quickly learned that her independent American ways weren't entirely "the thing." And the most disapproving of all was insufferable, snobbish, and impossible Marcus, Lord Westcliff, London's most eligible aristocrat.

It happened in the garden . . .

When Marcus shockingly—and dangerously–swept her into his arms. Lillian was overcome with a consuming passion for a man she didn't even like. Time stood still; it was as if no one else existed . . . thank goodness they weren't caught very nearly in the act!

It happened one autumn . . .

Marcus was a man in charge of his own emotions, a bedrock of stability. But with Lillian, every touch was exquisite torture, every kiss an enticement for more. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitable . . . as his bride?

Fairly satisfying. I know that after reading the first book in this series, Secrets of a Summer Night, I really looked forward to reading Westcliff and Lillian's love story. Happily I was not disapointed.

Lillian is one of four girls who call themselves wallflowers, ladies who are consistantly ignored at balls and parties. These friends have banded together to find each other husbands. Now that the first wallflower, Annabel, is happily married, attention turns to Lillian. Along with her younger sister, Lillian is an heiress to an enormous fortune--however, she is an American lacking crucial ties to nobility. She's irreverent, ill-manered, and opinionated, she is the last woman that Marcus Westcliff would consider for a wife. He's an earl possessing a very old and prestigious title, and he's grown up under parents who are demanding and bordering on abusive. As a result, he's overly self-assured, stubborn, and commanding.

The romance is very good. I love the opposites attract thing. I enjoyed Lillian as a character--she is someone a modern woman can relate to. Westcliff unfortunately comes off as a bit generic, but I believe this is mostly because the author chooses to focus more on Lillian and her conflictedness. Also, this one was somewhat lacking in actual action--it's mostly dialogue based. Still, it is definately a well recommended book--thorough plot, rich setting, and wonderful characters.

This is a great retelling of an old classic, with colorful illustrations. My 4 year old daughter loves it, and can even read some of it herself. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to share the classics with your child.

If by chance you don't know much about this timeless story, it is about a young girl named Goldilocks (named Silver-Hair in the original version) who snooped around in a home when nobody was there. This house belonged to three bears: a father bear, a mother bear and a little bear. The girl ended up eating a bowl of porridge, breaking a chair and sleeping in the little bear's bed. When the bears come home, they quickly realize that somebody had been in their house; when they go into the bedroom, they find the girl. She doesn't get eaten.

The book is cute, and definitely appropriate for its age group. I hope you give it a try.

The Book Of Enoch

NEW! The Book Of Enoch with Free shipping

Effect::: The Book of Enoch is an old composition considered a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The discovery of the texts from Qumran Cave 4 has finally provided parts of the Aramaic original of the .Book of Enoch. This discovery is very important because it eliminates doubts about the Book of Enoch, which was considered a medieval forgery in the past. The Enoch fragment found (4Q201) was copied around 200-150 BC.User friendly.

I was born a Christian. Ever since I was about 15 I was a true believer in spirituality rather than Christianity, but I do believe in an omnipotent God.

What do I believe about the Book of Enoch? In Genesis of the Bible it says Enoch walked with God for 300 years. In this time he wrote what is called an apocryphal text (one that was strickened from the bible).

Much like the Bible, the Book of Enoch can be interpreted in multiple ways. Looking on it as my current status, I believe it was a book of Extra Terrestrials and poor ol' Enoch didn't know what he was experiencing due to his lack of technology, hence why he thought these beings were Gods...
BUT
Looking on it from my prior Christian view, I can totally understand why anyone who is a fullhearted Jew or Christian would accept this wonderfully written text as fact.

Regardless of how I see this book, I must say that if you are looking for the same psychedelic experiences as in the Holy Bible Genesis through Revelations, grab this easy to read apocryphal text immediately. There is talk of beings being cast into darkness forever, sheep that write books, and even multiple lords, for example there is a lord of sheep (I thought there was only one lord...but you will find out thats not the case as God actually gives up his throne for a brief hiatus).

Totally a 5/5

This is a great book! Sadly it is the last great one in the DT series. So my warning to fans of The Dark Tower books is this: DONT read books 4-7! You will be horrified at what King does to the wonderful charachters and world that he has created. But if you must continue the story after 3 then go ahead and read 4. It really isn't that bad but it's sure is no match for 1-3. 5-7 is complete garbage and should have never been written or published.

The Waste Lands is my favourite in the series. I love the plot and the cool stuff that Roland and his "ka tet" find along their journey.
it really is a great addition to the DTs. But once again 4-7 will only dissapoint. Some things are better left unfinished. Mr. King should have relized that when he decided to (SPOILER) put in Harry Potter snitches, lightsabers, and the most annoying way of talking ever in book 5.

This epic series had such momentum and it really is a shame at what happens to the quality of the story in 4-7. So please please please don't read them!!!!

The Butter Battle book is about this young boys grandfather taking him out to see the wall. This wall is the wall that keeps the zooks away from them the yooks. The zooks eat there toast with the buttrt on the bottom of there toast. The yooks eat there toast with the butter on top of there toast. the boys grandfather told him that when the wall was only half way built he had to guard the wall to make sure no zooks came to the yooks side. When i was guarding the wall i had a plant that pointy so if any zook came near me i can poke them. But one day one of the zooks sling shoted a rock at my plant and it broke. Then i went to the head yook and he told his people to make me a machine that can shoot 3 rocks at once. After they made it i brang it to the wall and when i got there the zooks had the same one as me. So i kept going back to the head yook to build better machines then them but no matter how hard i tried the zooks always had the same one as me.then we both gave up and built the wall to the highest it can go and decided to stay away from each other.

As a Spanish teacher, I'm always looking for motivating ways to introduce or review concepts in my classes. I teach students ages 3 to adult, so I have an extensive library of bilingual books as well as Spanish only books.

Jorge el curiosos is a great series. I have yet to find a mistake in translation, and the vocabulary is simple enough for my youngest students, and yet my oldest ones still are challenged as they practice the grammar tense changes between the imperfect and preterite tense.

Wonderful addition to Spanish classes or your family library for Spanish "stuff!"
