Maria Elmvang Maria Elmvang said: " One of my favourite books as a child, and I still prefer it over most of Alcott's other books. She tends to preach quite awfully in her books, but there's not too much of that in this one, and what there is comes natural. It's a very sweet story and ...more "

A 2.5 star review. Rounded up because the baby dragons were adorable, and I finished this in just two days.

This was 100% a book I wanted because of the cover and the title. "The Baby-Dragon Café" just sounded like the perfect cozy fantasy read. I'd a

Each New Day by Corrie ten Boom

I ended up only reading October - December. As always with a devotional like this, there were some really excellent entries, and some rather vapid ones. In the end, I think I got a good idea of Corrie ten Boom from the three months I read.

Douglas Adams
“Fiordland, a vast tract of mountainous terrain that occupies the south-west corner of South Island, New Zealand, is one of the most astounding pieces of land anywhere on God's earth, and one's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause.”
Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

rameau Learning to agree to disagree is a rare talent that should be cultivated. Thank you for the friend request. Glad to accept.


Margaret Chind Your interests and favorites do seem right up there with mine. I do love the Barenstein Bears. These new ones are especially fabulous by the son of the original authors Mark Barenstein. They are all directly Christian messages. They are just great.


Nightfalltwen You changed your user picture! Looks great!

:D

Maria Elmvang Excellent! Thank you :) I can't wait to read it. The author sounds familiar... I'll have to see if I've read anything else by her or am just mixing her up with somebody else.

I think I'll like it too - we tend to share tastes otherwise, so I think it's a relatively safe bet :)

Shannon Hi, I'm mailing you that book today, Thunderwith by Libby Hathorn (it finally arrived yay!) - let me know when you get it so I know it didn't get lost in the mail! I hope you enjoy it, it's one of my favourites and also one of the first books I ever owned, so it has extra sentimental value (it was a surprise buy from my mum who knew how much I loved it. She didn't often do things like that. Couldn't afford to. So it was doubly sweet). If you don't like it, well, we'll never be friends again! Ha no not really, but I think you'll like it.
