A Place Called Canterbury: Tales of the New Old Age in America

Dudley Clendinen

Viking Adult, 2008

Great insider reporting
I loved this book. I'm a caregiver for a 102 year old, but it's in a home. This gave the other side of the story of what happens when someone is first in assisted living and then moves to full-fledged nursing care. Great, engaging writing.

A Place Called Freedom

Ken Follett

Fawcett, 1996

A Place Called Freedom
As always, another one of Ken Follett's books that I loved. This book takes you back to Scotland in the 1700's. Even though the book may have had some predictable parts, it was hard to put this book down. The story begins in the coal mines of Scotland and takes you ...

A Community Called Atonement (Living Theology)

Scot McKnight

Abingdon Press, 2007

Brilliant Overview of the Atonement
Scot McKnight is slowly finding his way to the top of reading lists for many interested in theology, and rightly so [he is quickly gaining ground on my reading list]. "A Community Called Atonement" is both a sweeping overview of the divergent theories of atonement, ...

Ancient Letters Speak to Us Today
With this retreat on the letters of Paul, Ronald Witherup hopes to help readers discover "a wonderful roadmap for a rich spiritual journey." He introduces Paul as the most prominent personality of the New Testament, apart from Jesus himself, and reminds us that Paul ...

Wesley and the People Called Methodists

Richard P. Heitzenrater

Abingdon Press, 1994

The best single-volume biography of Welsey
Heitzenrater's book is the best single-volume work on Wesley. He has, in an accessible prose, documented Wesley's life and the foundations of the Methodist Movement better than anyone before him. It utilizes the sources that are the foundation of the older biographies, ...

Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1)

Patricia Briggs

Ace, 2006

A new world for me
I have just discovered a new world, and I like it! I normally don't read books like this and I am sorry I didn't delve into this world sooner! I had read the Twilight series (it was a gift, I wouldn't have even bothered if it was me picking out reading material) and ...

A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive

Dave Pelzer

HCI, 1995

A LOSS FOR WORDS!!!

It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy

Greg Behrendt, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

Broadway, 2006

With all the mayo in the world, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken Sh****...
Other than the real encouraging, funny way that Greg and Amiira Behrendt tell these stories, they are all based on just common sense rules. Some might claim that it's not rocket science to know that you shouldn't call your ex, but the truth that when we are broken ...

It's Called Work for a Reason!: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault

Larry Winget

Gotham, 2007

Larry is like a recording of me!!!
I have three of Larry's books. This guy is telling folks the very same things I have said all my life. I later went out and bought 40 copies of the three books I have read so when my friends start their whining I just hand them a copy and tell them to go read it. ...

Catherine, Called Birdy (rpkg) (Trophy Newbery)

Karen Cushman

HarperTrophy, 1995

Great book
I am a music teacher and am doing a medieval/renaissance program at the library. I made this required reading for my students because it really helps them see what it would have been like to grow up a young woman in medieval times. It keeps your attention because it's ...

Kim Meeder

Multnomah Books, 2006

Amazing and Wonderful books!

A Man Called Intrepid

William Stevenson

The Lyons Press, 2000

Intrepid is a fascinating. Read it twice back to back.
A little confusing in the beginning due to author and Intrepid's name being very similar but I got the hang of it and then captivated by the end. So much so, that I immediately started reading it again. Funny, the man who recommended it to me did the exact same thing I ...

A Bear Called Paddington

Michael Bond

Houghton Mifflin, 2001

Fantastic!
A classic! I loved Paddington as a child and I'm thrilled to have this in our CD collection. (I'd even listen without the kids!). Stephen Fry reads the stories very well.

Toys Go Out: Being the Adventures of a Knowledgeable Stingray, a Toughy Little Buffalo, and Someone Called ...

Emily Jenkins

Schwartz & Wade, 2006

Sweet and Surprising
The short title, "Toys Go Out," intrigued me enough to pull the book off the shelf at our library. The loopy picture on the cover and the expanded title ending in "Someone Called Plastic" was the clincher. The patheticness of being simply "someone called plastic" and ...
