Attention: kids who want a good book to read, look at this!.......2006-01-10

"Healing horses, healing hearts". This is a quote that appears on every cover of the Heartland series book. From This Day On is the 19th book in the series. It takes place in West Virginia in modern day times.
We return to Amy, our 16-year-old main character, and her famous horse barn that heals horses with mental injuries. Amy's sister, Lou, is getting married to Heartland's vet, Scott Trewin, in November and emotions are on high. Amy is also graduating from high school and after she was planning to go full time at heartland with her boyfriend, Tye. But when she retakes the SAT, she gets a better score than expected. Now she is considering going to Virginia Tech's prevet program. Now she has to decide.
I liked this book because I am into horses. It had drama, love, friendship and trust as themes. But, I would recommend it for 6th graders and younger.

Here is to all the heartland fans. I have great news!Chestnut hills second book has heartland in it.The first book has heartland too.So don`t despair!!!

NEVER END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-07-15

THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE BESTS LAUREN BROOKE HAS WRITTEN.

AMY HAS BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING SCHOOL SO THAT SHE CAN WORK AT HEARTLAND 24/7/365. BUT WHEN SHE FINDS OUT THAT HER SAT GRADES ARE UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD SHE STARTS TO CONDSIDER VET SCHOOL CAUSE THEN IT MIGHT IMPROVE HER WORK AT HEARTLAND. WITH LOU FINALIZING HER WEDDING PLANS AMY THINKS THAT IT'S NOT THE BEST TIME TO TELL THEM ABOUT HER CONSIDERING VET SCHOOL. ALTHOUGH SHE HAS TOLD HEARTLAND ABOUT HER GRADES SHE HASN'T TOLD ANYONE ANYTHING ELSE.

I HOPE THAT THE NEXT BOOK IS JUST AS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE SERIES IS COMING TO AN END BUT AT LEAST SHE IS STILL WRITING A NEW SERIES CALLED CHESNUT HILL THAT WE CAN ALL ENJOY LIKE WE ENJOYED HEARTLAND. BUT NO BOOK SERIES WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS HEARTLAND. AND IN MY HEART I KNOW THAT THIS SERIES WILL NOT STOP NOW WITH SO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED.

I HOPE THAT LAUREN BROOKE WILL NEVER STOP WRITING

Never End! PLEASE!.......2005-06-27

This series Cant end i love these books!!!! Amy is so surprised about her grade and decides to go to college! But doesn't tell Ty! That was just wrong! I think that Ty and Amy should get married and run Heartland after Amy finishes college because then if Scott isnt avalible she can help!Any person that is happy about this series ending I pitty they never really liked it they just read and didnt pay attention! my advise reread them and listen to the words!

Book Description

After thirty years together, Cokie and Steve Roberts know something about marriage and after thirty distinguished years in journalism, they know how to write about it. In From This Day Forward, Cokie and Steve weave their personal stories of matrimony into a wider reflection on the state of marriage in American today.

Here they write with the same conversational style that catapulted Cokie's We Are Our Mother's Daughters to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. They ruminate on their early worries about their different faiths -- she's Catholic, he's Jewish -- and describe their wedding day at Cokie's childhood home. They discuss the struggle to balance careers and parenthood, and how they compromise when they disagree. They also tell the stories of other American marriages: that of John and Abigail Adams, and those pioneers, slaves and immigrants. They offer stories of broken marriages as well, of contemporary families living through the "divorce revolution". Taken together, these tales reveal the special nature of the wedding bond in America. Wise and funny, this book is more than an endearing chronicle of a loving marriage -- it is a story of all husbands and wives, and how they support and strengthen each other.

It takes a narcissist.......2004-05-04

It takes a narcissist of tremendous proportions to foist this scrapbook off on an unsuspecting public. On the plus side, Cokie Roberts does more than her usual cut and paste from the work of others in From This Day Forward. When not pulling from the work of others, Cokie (and the compliant Steve) offer up tidbits that are supposed to inform the reader how s/he too can have a great marriage.
Apparently the basic rule for a successful marriage is to live in your own little world the way kooky Cokie does. I doubt she realizes how racist she comes off in parts of the book. (Yes, Cokie, condescension is a form of racism.) Or how laughable most will find her book. Reading of the great "trauma" of her life, you realize this is someone who hasn't experienced many character building moments in her life. The great "trauma"? Learning that her new employer wouldn't provide a limo and that Cokie would have to take taxis around NYC. Oh, the horror! Oh, the shame! How did Cokie ever survive?
(Had she been told to take the subway, one gets the impression Roberts would have called it quits right then.)
A vapid celebration of what appears to be a vapid marriage isn't necessarily shocking -- what's shocking is that Cokie (and husband Steve) put their names to it. Had a child offered this slight volume as a souvenir to a wedding anniversary, we all would have "oooh"ed and "aaaawe"d over it. But for grownups to write such a book about themselves is the height of narcissism.
The book works best as anthropological study of When Gigantic Egos Mate.

A Wonderful Read.......2003-11-01

I always loved Cokie Roberts on TV and when I saw this book, I figured it would be fun to read about her marriage to Steve Roberts. I recommend this book highly to everyone thinking of marriage especially.

From the beginning I was drawn into this couple's world and liked the way they each expressed themselves in separate chapters. I found the entire book exciting, informative, inspiring, and so thankful that they took time to write about their unique marriage and how they make it work.

This is a refreshing book. A rare book about how a marriage can work. I've been married for fifty years and I know this couple will celebrate gold as well. Lots of love and best wishes to Cokie and Steve and thanks for sharing your busy happy loving life with us.

You'll be glad you read this book too.

Fun, light, cheery..........2001-09-26

I picked up this book for $5 at Borders, mainly because I enjoy listening to Cokie Roberts on NPR. I was curious to get to know her a little better.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. She and Steve take turns writing, as if they're dialoguing back and forth. I appreciated their commitment to their marriage in a day when it's not all that popular to stay married to the same person.

I also enjoyed the glimpses into slave marriages and Old West marriages. I'm glad I picked up this book. It was a pleasant read for sure.

A boring book.......2001-06-05

A boring book filled with narratives, possibly copied from an encyclopedia, about historical figures. Apparently, stories from their own lives could only fill a few chapters of this book.

Book Description

From This Day

When B. J. Clark, manager of the Lakeside Inn, met the new owner, Taylor Reynolds, she was fully prepared to dislike him. She feared--and with good reason--that he planned to transform her lovely, sleepy old hotel into a resort for jet-setters. But when sparks flew between them, B.J. soon found herself torn between her professional antagonism and her growing attraction to the man she had sworn to despise.

Temptation

Socialite Eden Carlbough didn't expect running a girls' camp to be easy, but she never thought she'd literally be run up an apple tree by the little monsters--nor did she think she'd come crashing down into the capable arms of orchard owner Chase Elliot. Chase knew he'd caught a windfall when he looked at the woman in his arms. He didn't like being cast as the serpent, but how could he resist when she'd just offered him such forbidden fruit?

Customer Reviews:

two books in one.......2006-09-15

"By My Side" is two short romance stories in one. Here are descriptions from the jacket back.

FROM THIS DAY- When B.J. Clark, manager of the Lakeside Inn, met the new owner, Taylor Reynolds, she was fully prepared to dislike him. She feared-and with good reason-that he planned to transform her lovely, sleepy old hotel into a resort for jet -setters. But when sparks flew between them, B.J. soon found herself torn between her professional antagonism and her growing attraction to the man she had sworn to despise.

The description fails to mention the evil and absolutely stunning decorator who has set out to get her hands on Taylor Reynolds, and feels threatened by the new girl, B.J. The woman is able to cleverly manipulate every situation tearing the two farther apart while digging her own claws into the man she desires, but not even her deception can stop the attraction building between B.J. and Taylor.

TEMPTATION-Socialite Eden Carlbough didn't expect running a girl's camp to be easy, but she never thought she'd literally be run up an apple tree by the little monsters-nor did she think she'd come crashing down into the capable arms of orchard owner Chase Elliot. Chase knew he'd caught a windfall when he looked at the woman in his arms. He didn't like being cast as the serpent, but how could he resist when she'd just offered him such forbidden fruit?

This description does not explain much of the plot at all, so I will try to elaborate. Eden Carlbough is a socialite, spoiled with loads of money and all the proper manners and training to live up to her role, until one day when her father dies and her world comes crashing to an end. She is left with no money, and her fiancee calls off the wedding in fear of the scandal ruining his reputation. Eden's only hope of saving face is to make a new life for herself on her own without the help of her wealthy Aunt. Her best friend talks Eden into helping start an all girls summer camp. While working harder than she has ever done in her life, Eden meets the neighbor, Chase Elliot of Elliot Apples. The attraction is instant, but still hurt from her past, Eden does not give her heart so quickly. It will take the heart of a menacing child to bring the two together.

These two stories are light romances. Not exactly up to Nora Robert's usual quality. The romance falls a bit short and even though I know that because these were short stories the love between the characters had to build quickly, it just seemed a little to sudden. Especially in "From this Day" It was just a bit unbelievable, but I guess that is why we read fiction. However, I just couldn't rate this book as high as I had originally hoped.

Is it worth buying?
I hate to say it, but if you are interested in reading this book, check it out from the library. It is not worth as much as I spent off the rack.

Book Description

"What is a day in the life really like for a CEO, a single mom, a TV celebrity, an inmate?" This was the question that inspired This Day, a book project that invited a cross-section of women to create a "day diary" on a single, ordinary Tuesday. The result is an intimate, informative, often humorous window into the life of the American woman, transporting readers into corporate board rooms, concert halls, play groups, TV studios, prisons, soup kitchens, classrooms, and an amazing array of households across the country. Individually and collectively, these diaries reveal what women love - and don't love! - about their families, jobs, and lives. They illuminate common threads, from the macro (too-hectic lifestyles) to the micro (the irresistible craving for chocolates). This book has entries culled from 500 women, including Kim Gandy, president of NOW; Erika Harold, Miss American 2003; Judi Ehrlich, an L.A. private eye; and Janet Olson, an inmate in Minnesota. It is a vibrant collection that celebrates the diversity of women in America and their lives.

Voyeurism in book form...........2006-06-15

I've always enjoyed "journal" and "biography" books because it is such a voyeuristic pleasure to peek into others lives and learn that your own is not so unusual. I don't envy the job of the editors having to narrow their submissions down to those in the book - I'm sure they were all is interesting as those found here. I really enjoyed it and plan to make it a gift to my best friend.

Amazing stories from amazing women like me!.......2004-07-29

I first read about this wonderful book on one of the services that provides reading guides for book clubs. I was intrigued by the premise, and knew I had to buy it. This is one book that did not let me down! I was captivated from the moment I began. I read in greed, hungering for the next diary entry. I completed it much too quickly, and had to re-read some entries. I found myself wondering about some of the women. (Many are still on my mind.) I am so pleased that book two is in the works. This is a book that is too good to miss.

No Nintendo?, WTH!.......2003-12-26

I borrowed this book for a friend due she assured me that it was worth, then she told me 'page 146', was underlined "Harrison asks if he may play GameCube. I say no. No GameBoy either....", what the hell !?, poor Harrison.

I must suppose that it is, after all, a good book.

A novel in every page.......2003-11-09

I heard one of the editors of this book speak this morning, bought the book, and read it all in the same day. It is absolutely riveting, which is strange, because none of these women has a truly earthshattering day. Yet somehow, each one of these diaries or excerpts is a story in and of itself, and I found myself caught up in the trivialities of their daily lives. From sippy cups and string cheese to chocolate cravings to memorials to lost loved ones, each one of these women has so many stories to tell.

Some ones that stick with me - the newly widowed woman writing her entries to her late husband, the funeral home director going to pick up a dead man and meeting his wife, the president of NOW cuddling with her children, a 60 year-old woman getting her GED, and the barista at Starbuck's with the lovely metaphors for her line of work. And oh so many more.

What is nice about this book is that you could read it in bits and pieces (bathroom reading), or inhale it in one greedy gulp, as I did. I recommend it highly.

Awesome.......2003-10-29

I read these diaries at one gulp. A great gift book for your favorite woman, you will find yourself between the pages. Miss America, Ravi Shankar's daughter, the President of NOW, a probation officer. Women from all walks of life and then some. Divorce, problem marriages, happy women, young women. It's all here.

Book Description

Did You Ever Want to Read a Friend’s Diary?

In suburban neighborhoods and on family farms, in uptown lofts and homeless shelters, women across America chronicled their lives on the same day—June 29, 2004. This Day in the Life shares more than thirty complete diaries and hundreds of additional candid moments.

Full of intimate details and laugh-out-loud truths, and drawing on the experiences of women of all ages and backgrounds, this diverse collection is a surprising reminder of how much we all have in common. If you’ve ever wondered what the woman standing in front of you in line was thinking, This Day in the Life is a refreshing glimpse at how we really spend our days—and the value of every single one.

7:03 a.m. Carryn wakes to nurse and I want to sleep. My husband pretends not to hear her, but sometimes I wake him up just so he can see my job is twenty-four hours a day. —Jenee Guidry, 30, mom of four

8:20 a.m. I just read two Psalms aloud to Dad. In the last few months of his life he loved for me to read them to him, both in person and on the phone. I still do it, hoping they reach him in the other world. —Rosanne Cash, 49, singer/songwriter

4:00 p.m. The cast of Friends is on with Oprah. That was one of the few shows I watched every week. My real friends suck. Not a single one called me on my birthday. —Kim Olsovsky, 31, teacher

1915 There’s a boom in the distance, rocket or mortar. I am sitting next to a blast wall built from sandbags. Do I stay here? Do I go into the trailer and lie on the floor? Six minutes pass. I am about to miss dinner. —Beth Garland, 42, army sergeant

We're all in this book --- somewhere. No matter what your title, marital status or race --- you can find yourself in this book. It allows us to see how other women cope with day-to-day triumphs and tragedies.

Great book. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences in all the diary entries. Some were funny, some sad. Very interesting!

A Great (and Cheap) holiday gift for all Your Women Friends!.......2006-11-06

Now I know what I'm getting every woman on my Christmas shopping list! I just finished reading This Day in the Life and couldn't put it down! I started by reading the day diaries I was most curious about--the famous shoe designer, the nun, the stripper--but by then I was addicted and just kept reading. Even though the book featured 35 completely different diaries and hundreds of shorter entries from other women (soldiers, new moms, refugees, TV stars, college grads, nursing home residents, you name it), my only complaint was I wanted more! I'd recommend this book to anyone who is curious about other women's lives and wants a fun, fast read (or a great idea for holiday gifts!)

Fabulous book!.......2006-08-24

I heard about this book on a podcast, and I bought it not really knowing if I'd like it. I was pleasantly surprised: I'm really enjoying it! I'm not reading it cover to cover; rather, I dip into it each night before bedtime. It's fascinating to read what the lives of women are like all over America - so different, yet so similar. I would recommend this book highly to everyone!

Enjoy a world-wide conversation with women.......2006-05-12

After reading this book, I felt I had acquired almost 500 new friends, who shared the joys, tribulations, boredom and routines of a typical day in their lives. I was pleasantly surprised by the high degree of apparent honesty and intimacy.

Particularly interesting (I thought) were the stories of women who have chosen to serve in the military, including several on active duty in Iraq; immigrants; and English-speaking women living abroad.

If you're a particularly harried person, this is easy to pick up and put down without losing track, as you simply move from excerpt to excerpt, with a few full-day entries included. My reason for four instead of five stars was that I felt myself unrepresented - a childless, single, high-achieving, professional woman of 53. As I know many women of the same type (BTW, roughly 15% of US adult women are childless), I found this a serious oversight. Also unrepresented were women of extreme poverty.

(You might say this last group is illiterate. Well, in a few cases the authors allowed a diarist to dictate her entries for the day to another woman.)

Nevertheless, buy the book for the lives it does show.

A Kabbalistic Exploration for the Layman.......2006-08-14

Mark Elber's "The Everything Kabbalah Book" is a well-written, lucid, easy-to-follow book that shows surprising depth and understanding for a book with such a bland title.

"Everything Kabbalah" touches on all the important areas of kabbalistic study, from the origins, to the many rabbinic masters; from the philosophy, to the practices. His discussion on the many 'faces' of Kabbalah range from the theosophical, to the ecstatic (a personal favorite), to both practical and even Christian practice.

It is very obvious to me that Mr. Elber is quite learned in this area, and goes to significant lengths to make clear the many difficult areas of metaphysical thought developed over hundreds of years.

This is an excellent book for someone new to the subject matter, or someone who knows his/her way around the 'tree' but would like a quick reference. Would make a great gift, too, to your spiritually-seeking friends.

So, get past the "Everything" book series cover. Like many things in life, if you pay more attention to what's on the inside instead of what's on the outside, you will be well rewarded.

Probably Only Worth 1 Star.......2007-04-18

I'm going to elaborate on that, but the book is...awful isn't much of an exaggeration. I couldn't finish it. I wanted to stop after the first 3 chapters, but I kept reading because I thought it would get better.

First off, Taylor is more than a bit of a jerk. Second, while BJ does stand up for herself, she's more passive-aggressive than anything, and doesn't tell him where to shove it. The guy stakes his claim early on, during a picnic where apparenlty he can tell she's a virgin, Taylor tells BJ that no matter what she thinks she wants, he's going to be the one to 'relieve' her of that status. Does she tell him point-blank no? Does she punch him, run off and call the cops? Does she scream at him, or yell, or even slap him and say 'You cad!' No. She just gets mad, but doesn't say or do anything.

Taylor seems to believe that he can get whatever he wants with his looks and brains and power, despite not being very nice and having no personality. And did I mention that despite all his bad behavior, despite not knowing anything about him other than that he's her boss....BJ is exceedingly attracted to him. Yes, despite absolutely no redeeming qualities, she practically loves him. Do *not* buy this book; if you must read it, go to the library.

Waste of paper.......2006-10-09

I didn't like either character in this book...Taylor was a manipulator and BJ changed like the wind. And who in the world proposes to a woman after 2 weeks? YECH! I can tell this was an early book of hers. Nora...you've come a long way, baby!

Annoying!.......2006-07-27

The best part of this book was when I finished reading it. I could'nt wait to read something else anything else just as long as I never have to come across a book as annoying as this one was.I don't like books where the H/H constantly fight with one another. And I really don't like it when the author narrates the book from the female perspective only. I never knew what Taylor was thinking or feeling and then they want to get married. Did I missed something in between. I found the other characters just as annoying. Save your money!

I really liked this book, unlike other reviewers........2006-02-04

B.J. was manager of an inn. She had worked there since she was old enough to work and she is now 24. She loves the inn because of it's "down to earth, comfortable" manner. It is a simple little place where one would go year after year til they grow old. She also lives there. Taylor is a big shot hotel buyer and has just bought the inn and wants to do all kinds of work to fix the place up to be a "grand" hotel. He instanly falls in love with B.J., but being that she is still young and knows nothing of love she doesn't want him. She hates him because she thinks that he is intruding on her life. They clash a lot in this book over the hotel, (as expected though, being that the place means so much to her.) I did find that B.J. was not that mature and I find it hard to believe that she actually is a manager of that inn. Taylor is demanding and is actually mean to B.J. Especially when Darla comes to the inn. Darla is Taylors decorator. She causes nothing but trouble for B.J. and Taylor. Anyway, this is a really SHORT book, so if you don't like it then really no harm done because it shouldn't of taken that long to read, but I LIKED this book a lot and would highly recommend it.

How was it this woman isn't fired?.......2005-11-19

That's the question that kept coming to mind as I read From this Day. B.J. Clark is the manager of a historic inn in New England. Taylor Reynolds is the new owner of the inn, with plans for renovation. B.J. rejects all of Taylor's ideas immediately. She argues, she yells, she is right down rude and nasty to him...and he doesn't fire her. You can't understand why do you really want someone working for you who spends all her time fighting, arguing and yelling at you? No. So why would you want to marry her?
