Seeds of Yesterday (Dollanger Saga)
V.C. Andrews
Pocket, 1990
A Thrilling Ending to A Remarkable Saga
I am one of those die-hard V. C. Andrews fans that must not only read but own EVERYTHING with her name on it. Though I first read SEEDS OF YESTERDAY over 20 years ago, it is one of those books that I find myself returning to almost every year because of the characters, ...

Shadows of Yesterday
Sandra Brown
Grand Central Publishing, 1992
Shadows of Yesterday by Sandra Brown
Previously, Adams Fall was my favorite by Sandra Brown. I've read all the negative comments about Shadows of Yesterday, but for me, it has been a joy. The humor, love, hot sex--, so many many human interest pages. Family living and loving. I do audio. This will be a ...

All Our Yesterdays
Dell, 2009
Most Underrated Writer in The 2oth Century
I'm not going to go into a blow by blow description of this Brilliant Novel. Simply put, who am I to comment on writing of this quality. I have long felt that Robert Parker is if not the most underrated writer of the 20th Century then certainly one of the ones at the ...

An important book
This wonderful little book was first published in 1896 (at least that's the one I have). It contains fifty short stories that were originally considered indispensable for the education of truly literate and well-rounded children. The fifty stories are classics of ...

Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s
Frederick Lewis Allen
Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2000
Timelessly Well-Written Account of a Fascinating Period in History
I'm not even halfway through this book yet and I already feel compelled to give it a rave review. Generally, when I read non-fiction, even on topics I'm extremely interested in (like the 1920s), I will skim the dry passages and chapters. I have not been tempted to ...

Stories of Beowulf Told to the Children (Yesterday's Classics)
H. E. Marshall
Yesterday's Classics, 2005
Great introduction to a great story
I am using this book in my homeschool with my kids ages 6-8 to supplement our history studies. It is a beautifully-written book, taking the ancient epic poem and recasting it in story form. But the language is not "dumbed down", and the story is gripping. Usually I ...

Stardust of Yesterday (Haunting Hearts Series)
Lynn Kurland
Berkley, 2001
It's a keeper!
Book received in very good conditions. Could not find a copy at local book stores. Have read other Lynn Kurland titles where Kendrick is an integral character to those stories. Wanted to read Kendrick and Genevieve's story. Loved it.

Yesterday, I Cried : Celebrating the Lessons of Living and Loving
Iyanla Vanzant
Fireside, 2001
Time for a breaking
More than anything I am grateful for those that reveal steps in their life's journeys in order to help others be free. Reading "Yesterday, I cried" began to speak to my soul about life and the things we sometimes allow to hold us in bondage.
This book also opened up ...

Yesterday I Had the Blues
Jeron Ashford Frame
Tricycle Press, 2008
The cadence and rhythm are infectious...
My daughter (4 1/2) insisted on bringing this book home from school one afternoon, and after reading it to her for the first time, I understood why. Frame's sense of cadence is mesmerizing - the timing, phrasing and articulate descriptions of childhood moods and ...
