4 out of 5 stars I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams, I am, I am, Iam.......2007-09-23

This book has given me an insight to how the universe works, it's easy to follow and understand and explains why and how to make it work!
Brilliant!!

4 out of 5 stars Fascinating!.......2007-09-12

Somehow I knew by my earliest childhood that the whole life works under the same princip. Simply, it had to be the truth, and finally now, at the age of fifty I'm exploring fascinating story from the opposite side of the world!
Like a ferry tale. So, I allready believe. Who knows where I will be guided to, after I apply these technics in my life?

5 out of 5 stars Best Book on how to attract Abundance into your life.......2007-08-01

I have read many long winded books on how to make your life rich and abundant. This is a short book and gets quickley to the point.
Simple to read and explains very clearly the steps you need to take. Tom Pauley's amusing little stories give his book, great credibility.

I would heartily recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Great, but could have been better!.......2007-07-11

I liked this book a lot, and it was very interesting. I especially liked the "assignment" of buying a .79 cent spiral notebook, and creating the lists of what you want in life. I still use the notebook, and refer to it often keeping it updated. The book could have been MUCH better, but sadly, the authors use it to pitch their $2,500 Quantum Selling and Quantum Marketing seminars!

3 out of 5 stars Tithing--what it really means.......2007-06-12

Emmett Fox talks about tithing as giving a tenth of your joy, happiness, positive emotions, etc. to God. He suggests giving what you can, when you feel moved to do so. That sounds like a lot better way to view tithing, to me. God doesn't need your money--and this book even says not to ask the Universe for money.
I think some of this is a good exercise, but there are better sources for the same information, but everyone learns in different ways. I think Neville Goddard is better, in terms of explaining the deeper aspects of the Law of Attraction. Emmett Fox is more appealing to me. But, as a starter on this type of work, this book is OK.

Nuala O'Faolain's My Dream of You takes the old feminist adage one step further: the personal is invariably political in this exquisite first novel, while its politics feel very personal indeed. The heroine, Kathleen de Burca, is an Irish travel writer living in London. Estranged from her homeland and her family, pushing 50 but still living in the same dingy basement flat that's been her home for two decades, Kathleen's is a life gone "even and dry." Love has been her traditional panacea: "I believed in passion the way other people believed in God: everything fell in place around it." But the only love that comes her way these days takes the form of grim, anonymous sex--and even that grows harder to find.

Oddly enough, it's history--her own, and Ireland's--that brings Kathleen back to life. Shattered by a close friend's death, she leaves her job and London to immerse herself in a 150-year-old divorce case. In 1849, according to court documents, the Anglo-Irish landowner Richard Talbot divorced his wife because she committed adultery with their ragged Irish groom. Or did she? The book Kathleen imagines writing about the affair is a classic tale of passion--yet her research turns up a more complicated story, even as love once again makes inroads into her own life.

My Dream of You shares some of the same preoccupations as O'Faolain's bestselling memoir Are You Somebody?: a distant and loveless family life, the plight of Irish women. But it's the historical narrative that gives Kathleen's story both context and shape, juxtaposing the affair inside the demesne walls with the famine outside. The excerpts from her "Talbot Book" are searing in their intensity, studded with images of great beauty and unimaginable suffering. Some readers might in fact wish the book's balance tipped even further in the Talbot direction. Then, however, we might miss the author's heartbreakingly nuanced portrait of Kathleen's loneliness:

It was never real excitement that got you into bed; it was hope, like some stubborn underground weed. Look at the way you've believed every time, at the first brush of a hand across a breast, that the roof over your life was sliding back and a dazzling, starry firmament was just coming into view.
The suffering of Irish peasants during the famine might be a grander subject than a solitary woman's search for passion. Yet one is as real as the other. In the Irish experience, as in Kathleen de Burca's, the movements of history leave ghostly tracks across individual lives. --Mary Park

Book Description

The greatly anticipated first novel by the author of the number-one New York Times bestseller Are You Somebody?: a novel within a novel, a love story within a love story, an historical story within a contemporary one.

Hailed by critics ("A beautiful exploration of human loneliness and happiness, of contentment and longing," wrote Alice McDermott in The Washington Post) and embraced by legions of readers, Nuala O'Faolain's memoir Are You Somebody? introduced a writer of exceptional insight, honesty, and compassion. These same gifts are evident in O'Faolain's grand first novel that tells of parallel lives, one hundred fifty years apart, driven by a hunger for passionate love.

My Dream of You is the story of Kathleen de Burca, an Irish woman based in London, a travel writer who crisscrosses the globe. She is a woman on the run until a quick series of blows, on the eve of a milestone birthday, stops her cold-revealing the painful cost of her refugee existence and the encroaching despair that the love she believed would deliver her might never come. And still, she feels, her heart is ridiculously alive. . . .

And so it is to passion that Kathleen turns when she sets out for Ireland to investigate the true story of a scandalous affair between the wife of an English landlord and an Irish servant during the latter years of the Famine. Between the lines of the historical record and through a reconsideration of the family she fled so long ago, Kathleen attempts to understand how it is that even in the face of adversity love can prevail and even with love families can be torn apart. During her time in the country, she encounters a lover of her own who helps her to know her own heart and presents her with an ultimate choice that, like the one made by her nineteenth-century lovers, promises to alter the course of her life.

My Dream of You is a singular achievement: a feeling and captivating work that explores the extremes of passion, the depths of loneliness, and the resilience of the human heart.

3 out of 5 stars What happened to quotation marks?.......2007-07-18

I'm not ready to write a review of this book, although I am full of opinions, but as for now, I just want to know about this current trend of leaving out quotation marks. I gave up on Cold Mountain for this reason, and I was sorry after I bought "My Dream of You" when I realized she does this also. I have struggled through it because I have had to reread many passages when I realized it wasn't her thoughts, but someone speaking. What is the reason for this? Why is this considered acceptable?

1 out of 5 stars Too down and depressing.......2007-06-28

There was something that drew me to this book, maybe it was the cover, I don't know. But after I started it, I had a very hard time reading it, much as I wanted to. The woman was so unhappy, and everything seemed so miserable, I couldn't continue. If you want a book that involves intrigue, fun, confidence, genuine passion, or anything of similar like, I would not recommend this book to you.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderfully Grand Read!!.......2007-05-29

If you like Dickensian characters, brilliant writing, smart and sympathetic situations, etc., visiting other countries via reading, this is a must read. It, along with Pat Conroy's literature, is one of my all time favorites. It's an absolute keeper -- there are not enough stars to rate this book appropriately! Buy it, relish it...

1 out of 5 stars Terrible.......2007-04-13

Such a shame- I had hopes for this one. Instead it was drivel. Overwrought, florrid nonsense. Absolutely hated the main character. Full of navel gazing and embarrassing sex scenes.

2 out of 5 stars So disappointing!.......2007-03-24

"My Dream of You" is the story of two lives, the pitiable Marianne Talbot of Ireland in the 1850's, whose husband divorces her for infidelity, and Caitlin de Burca, a 50-ish modern travel writer who returns to write Marianne's story but instead embarks on a review of her life. This is a book I should have loved, but instead I just wanted to shake Caitlin (Kathleen) and tell her to get a life! As a young woman she destroys her life with her lover by blatant promiscuity with his housemate, and with the janitor at work on the side. From then on she sleeps with anything that walks, while pretending to be in search of passion. The only person she never sleeps with is her friend Jimmy, and he becomes the only person she loves and trusts. Kathleen's unlikeable sister Nora repeatedly tells her she needs a shrink, and I couldn't agree more.

The plot was equally silly. Kathleen goes to Ballygall, where Marianne lived, and immediately becomes best friends with a local innkeeper, who sets her up in two beautiful houses. She spends two days trying to research her story, and finding little she immediately starts complaining that Ireland is "too hard." She then writes a fictional account of Marianne's story in about 3 days, work that would take a real writer months. In the meantime she rehearses in her mind her terrible childhood, that included everything from an abusive father to a vague and ineffective mother who dies from cancer and a miscarriage to a little brother dying at the age of 6. Along the way she meets what she thinks is the true love of her life, a married, barely literate landscaper, deals with her boss Alex' breakdown, visits a brother whom she has not seen in years, and relives every moment of her life. All this in perhaps 2, not more than 3, weeks.

So why did I bother? O'Faolain shows her talent in her wonderful descriptions of the Irish lanscape and brings the famine of the 1850's alive. I never realized the devastation, made worse by the English landlords who threw people off the land as they were dying. A whole generation left for America and never came back. As England built her empire, the Irish were dying in droves right across the water.

I know this was O'Faolain's first novel--she shows promise, but that's all. This book is most definitely not like "Possession"--this novel is a fairly trashy soap opera set in an incredibly interesting land and historical period.

5 out of 5 stars I will help you climb your own mountains...but first I'll tuck you in.......2006-03-07

From baby otters to wolves to mountain goats, animal parents teach animal babies important life lessons. Baby bear learns to wake from hibernation while baby skunk learns to "give others fair warning before you act." And the last important lesson is that a human dad will help his baby learn about the world, all the while keeping him safe. Each animal has a two-page spread with charming colorful illustrations that are finely drawn, but not hyper-realistic. A wonderful good-night story

All children want reassurance that their parents' love runs wide and deep. In Guess How Much I Love You, a young rabbit named Little Nutbrown Hare thinks he's found a way to measure the boundaries of love. In a heartwarming twist on the "I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better" theme, Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare. But even when his feelings stretch as long as his arms, or as high as his hops, Little Nutbrown Hare is fondly one-upped by the elder rabbit's more expansive love.

Anita Jeram's illustrations are bound to elicit an "aw" from even the sternest of readers; these loving rabbits are expressive, endearing, and never cloying. In turn, Sam McBratney tells a simple bedtime story of sweet familial love with humor, insight, and a delightful surprise at the end. Children and parents will love snuggling up for this one--a treat to be read again and again, just before the lights are turned out. (Click to see a sample spread. Text © 1994 by Sam McBratney.

Book Description

"Guess how much I love you," says Little Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much. Well then Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that's just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare's love for him.

The first time I heard of this book was in my childbirth class. I loved it so much I had to buy it. I'm hoping it will become one of my baby's favorite books.

5 out of 5 stars Good all-around baby book.......2007-09-19

I bought this baby book based on the reviews and the fact that Guess How Much I Love You is one of my favorite children's books. The book does a nice job of asking enough questions to make a complete record for your baby without being overly burdensome. Some of the other books I looked at seriously asked what the weather was on the day you found out your were pregnant. Seriously, who would care about that? This baby book also gives great suggestions for a few pictures which is helpful--like the place to put a picture of you pregnant. I am very pleased.

1 out of 5 stars Don't Like the Message.......2007-09-15

I know many people love this book. I don't know why. We received one as a gift, and after reading it to my daughter, I was disturbed by the story. I felt sorry for the bunny whose parent invalidated his expression of love on each page. As many other reviewers said, it was a competition the adult wouldn't let the child win. This book contains a mean-spirited, misguided, sad, and disturbing message.

5 out of 5 stars Family favorite.......2007-08-01

"Guess how much I love you" is a classic. The story is a simple dialog between a big rabbit (the parent) and a little rabbit (the baby), each professing and comparing the depth & "height" of their love for each other. We read this book almost every day to our infant daughter. She loves the watercolor illustrations & coos at the pictures. A lovely addition to a kid' book collection.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful - this really is a very good book.......2007-07-24

This is a fabulous book for little children and the grownups who read to them. When children are read to daily, they learn to love reading. Perfect bedtime stories, to calm everyone down and make us ready for sweet dreams. If you can find the LARGE size book get it- they're fabulous keepsakes. Perfect gifts for any child, and a perfect tradition in your own home and family!

5 out of 5 stars A gem of a book.......2006-03-22

This is a wonderful book! Filled with all kinds of hugs--a cozy hug, a cheer-up hug, a twirly hug, to name just a few--the lively, fun-to-read text paints a picture of a warm and loving world. The illustrations show colorfully dressed zebras, elephants, bunnies, and pigs (really people in animal guise) spending an exciting, hug-filled day at an amusement park. This is a world where hugs are fun ("A tickle hug will make you jiggle, and laugh and squeal, and squirm and wiggle") as well as reassuring ("A calming hug will see you through, when something scary frightens you"). Lots of opportunities here for interacting with your favorite hugaroo. This one is a winner!

I started reading Jillian Harker's "Oakey:A goodnight kiss" to my daughter when she was about 10 months old, and she and I both fell in love with the little bunny. When I noticed the other books by Jillian on the back cover, I went and ordered this book that same day. The adorable little bunny Oakey is so endearing, these books are a sure favorite for any child. Andy Everitt-Stewart's bright and colorful illustrations make the books an absolute joy to look at, too. A definite thumbs up all around!

2 out of 5 stars How to teach your child to be scared of everything.......2004-12-30

My daughter received this book as a gift. I would not recommend it. There are not many children's books that I do not like, but this is one. The story is of a rabbit and his mother going out for the day and doing a variety of things. At every turn - from walking out the front door of their burrow, to sliding down a playground slide, to walking through the woods- the little boy bunny doesn't want to do it unless his mother promises to hold his hand. I guess the author intended the book to show children that they could do things that make them afraid. But when I read the story to my daughter it seemed like I was communicating to her that unless her mother or father was around to hold her hand through life then she should be very wary of trying anything new. It's not a message that I want to convey to my four year old. I suppose the book might be more appropriate for very young children. I give the book two stars because it is a very nice looking book - the illustratioins are very cute and well-done.

    Book Description

    The story of everywoman's emotional and spiritual journey, helping her release stored up false hopes and preconceived notions by replacing them with the wonderful reality God is weaving into her life.

    Every morning we face the day with a set of expectations about how things will or should be.  Author Paula Rinehart says, "The oddest part about our mental images is that we don't know they are there until the video of our lives plays out in a different fashion." Offering a radical shift in perspective, Paula guides readers to a fresh discovery that the story of our lives may look vastly different than what we anticipated-but that it's a good thing.

    Better Than My Dreams charts a course that enables a woman to jettison her old baggage and to discover that what God is creating might be better than she ever dreamed for herself, where fellowship with Christ, rather than fulfillment of dreams, is the real prize. This deeper awareness, that God knows what He's doing with our lives, allows us to truly let go and enjoy the trip as we learn to live, love, and embrace whatever comes.
