Israela

posted by batyacasper

In Israel, the lives of three women interweave with the story of their country. Ratiba, an Israeli journalist, turns her back on her heritage to marry an Israeli Arab. Her sister Orit, an actor, lives alone and longs for her lost sister. Elisheva is a nurse who dedicates her life to the wounded and the dying. As their lives unfold, the three women find themselves facing choices they would never have envisioned.

This is a story of secrets and alienation, yet also of hope and heroism. It is about Arabs who save Jews from disaster and Jews who heal Arabs. It is the story of everyday people torn and desperately searching for the right path.

Here, the ancient pulsates in present time and the biblical holds prominence with the secular. Beneath this modern-day drama unfolds the story of a land and its people, revealing the historical trajectory of two peoples, victims and perpetrators of a biblical curse.

Quotations about boeken & Reading

A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on u and remains a friend. ~Author Unknown

A book is the only place in which u can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, of explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy. ~Edward P. Morgan

The worth of a book is to be measured door what u can carry away from it. ~James Bryce

Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book. ~Author Unknown

10 boeken to Read over Christmas Vacation

posted by swimchick

I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but in many countries, there is a big break coming up, and I thought I would share some good vacation-type reads. So put these on hold at the bibliotheek now to prepare for a long period of time for relaxation and good reading.

1. His Dark Materials door Philip Pullman
(The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)-I read this series once over a break and it is fantastic. Deep and meaningful while still a quick read. The 2nd one is my favorite.

2. Anna Karenina door Leo Tolstoy
This is probably a challenge for a lot of people, but it's one of the most...

Stephen King "couldn't stop reading" it. Stephenie Meyer was so "obsessed . . . I had to take it with me out to avondeten, diner and hide it under the edge of the table." Publishers Weekly called it "the best book of 2008."

Why does every one want Edward Cullen so hated?

When I look on youtube of even here, there are people that just want every one to hate the Twilight series and Edward most of all! THEY ARE FICTIONAL! And your all fighting like a bunch of babies! Its a book! u dont have to like it and I am not telling u to read it if u haven't.

Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn’t Have) – Sarah Mlynowski

posted by pure-angel

If gegeven the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn’t jump at the chance to verplaats in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe “opportunity” isn’t the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: “Lied to Our Parents”). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up “Skipping School” (#3), “Throwing a Crazy Party” (#8), “Buying a Hot Tub” (#4), and, um, “Harboring a Fugitive” (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.
In this hilarious and bittersweet...

A very good beginner's guide book, June 22, 2001

By Angela Soden – Amazon.com

I have been learning about and exploring the topic of reincarnation for a long time now. In the past, I have only read boeken that were full of documentation. Some of these had a little bit on how to discover your own past lives. However, I always wanted more. This book provided that for me. Contrary to the other boeken that I had read in the past, this book talks about various methods and how to utilize them for your own self discovery. Michael Talbot not only explains how to use these methods...

The summoning

posted by Leightonfan

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again.

All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the dag that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me.

Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top, boven it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home pagina isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be meer to my housemates than meets the eye. The vraag is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.

The Iron Queen (Iron Fey, Book 3) – Julie Kagawa

posted by pure-angel

My name is Meghan Chase.
I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who’s sworn to stand door my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I’m not sure anyone can survive it.
This time, there will be no turning back.
The third book in the Iron Fey series provides the same non-stop action as its predecessors. The only thing is, this time around, the constant conflict...

auteur Randy Jernigan to Re-Launch the Writers Studio

posted by Fanmaven2015

Losing to Win! auteur Randy Jernigan tells me that he hopes to resurrect his Writers Studio and begin teaching again.

The school, which boasts alum Les Bailey of The Vampire Game fame, was located in picturesque Utah and had a reputation for graduating several published novelists, a couple of populair poets, and even two produced screenwriters.

"I miss teaching," Randy recently told me in a phone interview from his Utah home. "There's nothing like the experience of being in a room of inspired, hungry, creative writers. The synergy is absolutely amazing!"

Randy tells me he hopes to begin teaching classes as early as mid-June 2016.

This Summer may prove to be a bit busy for Randy. According to Medium.com Randy will go back into the studio and host 30 new radio talk shows and he's also launched a new line of active wear that bears his motto: "Making the Rest of My Life, the Best of My Life!"

Wishing my friend Randy the best of luck in his creative ventures!

Advance Readers' Copies: boeken to Look Out For

posted by cressida

Advance Readers' Copies -- one of the many benefits of working at a bookstore. For those who might not know what that phrase refers to though, it means I (and other booksellers) are invited, even encouraged, to read advance copies of boeken before they are officially released to the public. In this world of thousands upon thousands of books, publishers often send out a free copy in hopes that a particularly enthusiastic recipient will personally promote the work to his of her customers, and thus increase sales exponentally.

Here are a few boeken that I have read in galley form (another phrase...

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON muziek -- The science of a human obsession

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel J. Levitin, 2006, 320 pages

Why human beings make and enjoy muziek is, in Levitin’s telling, a delicious story. In this unprecedented meeting of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between muziek – its performances, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it – and the human brain.

Taking on prominent thinkers who argue that muziek is nothing meer than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that muziek is fundamental to our species, perhaps even meer so than language. ‘This Is Your Brain On Music’ is an ear-opening,...

Please No meer Vampire Talk, Good of Bad

Hi everyone!

I just want to say enough already. We have determined again and again that Vampire and Twilight lovers comprise maybe a little less than half of the members who are answering these questions. I say we just give it a rest now. We don't need any meer picks about whether u love of hate vampires, which is the best vampire series, of any other opportunities for fighting over an issue that's at a standstill.
Now I have read Twilight and am not a fan, though I will admit they are addicting while u read them. I have zei how I feel about the books, the writing, the characters and all...
