vampires, werewolves, and pirates oh my!.......2007-09-29
some of the stories were fantastic, some were just good, but hey, isn't that the whole point of getting a collection of short stories? that way you can check out what all the authors are like without committing to a ton of books. i think the book is pretty good.
Anthologies can be tricky things..........2007-08-24
You're never 100% certain of what you're going to get. They can be great for finding new authors and/or filling in the waiting period til the next book from your favourite author. Or they can make you feel like you've wasted your time.
Although word of mouth said that My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding was an uninspiring collection as a big fan of Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris and Sherrilyn Kenyon I wanted to find out for myself.
Where it works - the stories that are set in an ongoing series. Jim Butcher's Something Borrowed is a solid entry into the Harry Dresden series. Although I'm not familiar with Lori Handeland's Night Creatures universe her story (Charmed by the Moon) still managed to draw me in, keep me interested and made me want to check out her backlist.
Sherrilyn Kenyon's story whilst not reaching the emotional intensity of Phantom Lover from the Midnight Pleasures anthology is a vast improvement on Until Death Do We Part (Velkan and Retta's story from the Love at First Bite antho.)Though I wish she would cut down on the point of view head hopping.
One other story that stood out for me was Esther Friesner's The Wedding of Wylda Serene. Whilst slow to get into it had some very witty lines that had me laughing out loud.
Having read the stories I am disappointed. Overall the anthology is okay, but there is not enough here that stands out. Maybe it's a case of trying to cram too many authors in to one book.
Anthologies I would recommend - for Sherrilyn Kenyon - Midnight Pleasures, Stroke of Midnight. For Charlaine Harris - Bite (as part of the ongoing Sookie series), Night's Edge (standalone story).
One of the best anthologies I've read.......2007-06-08
Usually anthologies are like panning for gold. You've got to sift through a lot of dirt to get the gold nuggets. This anthology, however, was the motherlode. All the stories were entertaining. Out of the nine, the last two were the weakest, but still a good short read.
I was pleasantly surprised by Charlaine Harris's contribution. I expected a Sookie story, but instead received a good vampire/werewolf story with no Sookie in sight. It is alwasy nice to see another part of the world which an author has created.
Jim Butcher was in true form with his entry. Gee I just love Harry Dresden, no matter what he is doing.
All in all I recommend this book for a short quick read. I already have a waiting list of people who want to borrow it from me.
teaser!.......2007-05-31
what a teaser! Just when u are getting into one of the story, its over! but i guess that is what u can expect from and anthology.
Wow! great collection.......2007-04-23
This collection was just stunning! Great combo, some of the stories are amazingly funny and a few are very spooky. Wonderful read, but a few at a time, there is definitely some overlap of ideas. P.S. LOOOved the Esther Freisner story. But I'm biased.
Book Description
She's got the rock, so when does happily ever after kick in?
At long last, Ashley Stockingdale--patent attorney, fasionista, and homeowner--can finally add "fiancee" to her spirited resume. That means the next four months will be a dizzying and decadent waltz through aisles of Vera Wang, Kenneth Cole, Sheridan sheets, Kate Spade place settings, and Oneida flatware. Well...maybe not.
For starters, the HR department has hired Ashley's ex-boyfriend (yep, the one who ran off to India with that other woman) as the new director of software. And now her fiance is starting to sound crazy--something about moving across country, to Philadelphia of all places. Worst of all, right before her eyes, Scarlett-I-need-some-Prozac O'Hara is hijacking her wedding plans!
Life for our heroine is spinning from out of control to downright confusing. But whether she makes it to the end of the aisle or not, she'll never be at a loss for drama!
Customer Reviews:
Hillarious.......2007-03-19
As someone who is planning a wedding. I got a huge kick out of this book. It made me laugh out loud and is very discriptive i could just imagine the characters. In some aspects i could see myself in this character. I give this book two thumbs up for anyone who is looking for a good book to entertain themselves with.
an odd one.......2007-03-19
Put simply, it's an odd mixture of current fashion, fiance drama, and - get this one - god.
Very Funny.......2007-02-14
This book was laugh out loud funny. Kristin Billerbeck does a great job of writing great chick lit without compromising Christian standards. If you thought that Erin was a handful in the 2nd book, just wait until you get a load of Kevin's sister, Ashley. This book is fantastic.
Fabulous!.......2006-12-26
Great book! I just read it cover to cover in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! Ashley is a great character and it's nice to read a chick book that has main characters with christian values.
Another Winner from Kristin Billerbeck!.......2006-07-13
I am so bummed that this is the end of the series because this is a great one!!! Kristen has gotten me so hooked on reading the "Christian chick Lit" that I've read all of her books so far!! I don't do that normally because I like to make sure there is more when reading an authors book so I don't run out of things to read. I couldn't do that with her stuff.
This book was hard to find in the local stores. One said it would be in within a week of ordering it...2 WEEKS later nothing!!! I decided if I was going to wait I would wait while anticipating a package so I ordered this from Amazon on a Tuesday and received it on Friday! Guess who called on Saturday to tell me the book was in.....
Great, funny, witty read! Read them all!!!!
Customer Reviews:
Timely, Thoughtful, and often very funny!.......2003-04-28
"The Wedding of Zein" actually includes three separate stories, all set in pleasant, rural, Muslim villages of the Sudan, in Africa. The book is named after one of the stories. The other two are called "The Doum Tree of Wad Hamid," and "A Handful of Dates." Each tale has the universal feel of a fable -- the wisdom they encode in their simple language can speak to anyone, anywhere, anytime. The Muslim characters have a few traits which could seem odd to Western readers, but basically they are just like small town folks all over the world. They walk with dignity, they live in peace amidst old friends and loved ones, and they cherish their own dreams of love and happiness.
The title story is my favorite. Zein is sort of a "holy fool" in his little village. He is not exactly retarded, or crazy, but is clearly eccentric. He seems to promote laughter and good feelings wherever he goes, although sometimes this is at his own expense. Many of the villagers laugh at him. All of the villagers laugh with him. Zein seems unaware that there could be a distinction between these groups of people, and, perhaps, therein lies his potential for healing... He is betrothed to the beautiful, solemn, almond-eyed Ni'ma, before whom he has NEVER made a fool of himself. She, and she alone, holds this honor... Their courtship, and the impact it has upon the village, comprises a highly provocative, and ultimately warm, view into human nature. You won't forget this comedic, yet highly serious, love story.
Taken together, these stories really got me thinking about what it's like to live in an average Muslim village. It makes me want to know these people better, they're nice people, just like anyone else.

Don't Mess With FATE or Freewill.........2006-12-17
Tonight my daughter and I were out looking for a perfect gift for a party tomorrow (gift for child required) and found this book and a doll to match sitting front and center and maybe a bit sideways at the local booksellers shop.
So we opened it up to see what adventure Miss Lilly was finding herself in this time. I'm a 1st grade teacher and Lilly and her purple purse have been very important parts of my shared readings for ...ummm...more years than I think Lilly has. My daughter Syl even had a purple purse just to act out her precious purple purse story and now with her at 17 we look at these books with longing...
Lilly's a mouse for me, living life with everything she's got, not afraid of feeling and more than a little mystified by other's inability to walk in her shoes...
Henkes always takes a good look at children with their very real life...and spins a story that just has it all. And...it has everything I don't have presently in my NCLB afflicted life in an Under performing school forced into proscribed scripted curriculum teaching so presently devoid of story...I'm Sarah "one note" on this but when you read a book like this one you realize how much a book can bring to a classroom and children.
Lilly is so charming and here she is completely with her whole soul determined to be the flower girl at her teacher's wedding, but relegated by her very favorite teacher, to watch another get the honors. Just looking at the note she writes alone to convince her teacher of her worthiness is so wonderful,it's an appeal that just should have done the trick. Henkes must someday come to my Room 10 and meet my student Gabby la la . They are somehow related, Lilly and Gab. I, too, got a note mine on Friday, "Why I am the best person to be the Class Pezidents" a new position she decided to open.
There are from time to time children who are just so invigorated, alive, so vestily in this life, so carpe diem you gotta just stand away and say..."May I assist you Madame Pezident?". Such is Lilly who doesn't immediately get the flower girl position but does through the storyline save the day....and in the end doesn't it always fall to the Lilly's of the world to sweep in graciously(even when doing so after having been second placed right in front of everyone when they knew who was supposed to be in the position of flower girl) and put it all to rights and give life a kind of warmth and zest that makes us realize that sometimes you have to live and love, they come into your life and turn it all upsideover as my Gabby La La says.
My student listens with great quiet to Lilly stories and always dramatically raises her arms and says at the end, "Oh...it's so cuuttee..that's a good story teacher." Dramatic falling to the floor in giggling ball. If read with charm this story of the wedding of Lilly's teacher is guaranteed to be a hit with all children.
The book did not need another endorsement here but after reading it and picking it up tonight for our children's gift exchange I have to say it'll be read on my apple carpet in the classroom Monday with lots of fun because I'm taking in a basket of flower petals left over from a bouquet of roses from my anniversary which is rapidly fading and I saved , perfect for reenactment purposes. Enjoy a really wonderful read and you must, must get it with the Lilly doll." Too cutes" from Gab..And may I say...you only live once, so with Lilly, its wonderful to feel with every cell you have heads to toes...throw a few petals all over and practice the day you'll be called forth to walk down your aisle.
Slinger Shotguns Shotwell.......2006-12-14
An instant classic!
Henke does it again, great book. Henke creates very real characters who grapple with emotions about as intense as I've seen for this format. In Lilly's perfect day, her teacher, Mr. Slinger, in an act of naked nepotism, elevates his own niece to the role of flower girl. This despite the inordinate amount of energy Lilly has put towards practicing for the event, the proficiency with which she has rehearsed every precocious countenance, the inestimable classroom bragging rights with which she fixates her anticipation. This mouse is due her fate, and only the venal world of adult institutions could deny her.
No one can quite bring themselves to be direct her Lilly. "Do you understand what we are trying to tell you?" they ask. How can a child honestly answer that question? How can a parent honestly interpret a child's answer to that question. My stomach was in a knot for Lilly. I knew this was a Henke book, I knew it had to have a happy ending. But how could Lilly's youthful, brittle narcissism possibly absorb the onslaught of such a sleight? I wouldn't dream of ruining the ending here, but I will provide a little hint by saying that a baby mouse dose of propanolol would have gone a long way. But even the villainous niece's feelings are spared, as Henke ties up all the strands as only he can. Thumbs up for Henkes! And go Bears!
What a delight!.......2006-11-04
Our little granddaughter was preparing to be a "flower girl" at the age of 2!
So reading this to her for a couple of weeks ahead of time was such
a good idea -- and so helpful.
We substituted the names of our own family members where we could,
and ad-libbed into the book as needed.
She loved it!
AND she marched down that aisle with her little basket of flowers
with such purpose! It was a very exciting time -- the book was enormously
helpful.
Lilly does it again........2006-11-04
I love the Lilly books, as do my granddaughters. She's cute and sassy, and one of my favorite Henkes characters. Enjoy!
Another Henkes Favorite!.......2006-08-28
Lilly is back in this fabulous story! Kevin Henkes is one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint! Very sweet story, my students loved it!

For the diehard romantic, there may be nothing so thrilling as chronicling that one true love. The Book of Us presents 150 topics on the subject--ranging from "Before I met you, my love life was..." to "One of the reasons I think we lasted so long as a couple is that..." Like David Marshall's earlier book, The Book of Myself, which is also a keepsake, this book makes us wish it were prettier. But it is the thought that counts, and a lot of thought will go into turning these empty pages into something a spouse, one's children, and then their children will cherish. And not to fear: While this is a very sweet book, there is also plenty of room here to ruminate on the less saccharine aspects of life partnership: financial crises, humorous escapades, parenting woes, and home-improvement projects. A word to gay readers: One of the book's five sections focuses on "Tying the Knot"; some of the questions specifically address elements such as the bachelor party and the wedding dress, but most of the questions are generic enough to apply to any type of commitment ceremony. --Jane Steinberg

Great gift.......2007-07-30
My husband bought this for me, I just love it. It is broken up by sections, dating, wedding, first year of marriage, middle years, later years. I think its such a neat way to keep track of things that go on in your relationship. We will have it for years to come and our grandkids can read funny stories that we would have otherwise forgotten.
It is a very thoughtful wedding/shower or anniversary gift.
Love it!.......2007-01-11
I wrote in this book for a few months before giving it as a birthday gift to my fiance on his birthday, he loved it and spent the next few nights reading it before bedtime. He was very surprised that I had spend time writing it in all my feeling for him when I first saw him and how I felt, made him feel very special. He still keeps in on his night stand even 2 yrs later. Love the book, helps to tell someone how you feel. Great questions and lots of room to write, really helps your feeling come out.
Indefinitely Sweet.......2007-01-09
It's not exactly what I was expecting, but it definitely was a sweet surprise. I really liked it. One of the things that probably made it difficult to fill out is that the questions were asking for details and there wasn't enough room to write. Some of the questions were worded a bit odd as well. Overall, I liked the book.
Great Gift Idea!.......2007-01-05
I bought this book for my husband for our first married Christmas together. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, it's only interesting if you fill it out for the person you're giving it to...they get the joy of reading your interpretation of various situations and moments of your life together. I think it's a great guide to recording your history as a couple and fully intend to keep filling it out as we progress!
Book Of Us Review.......2006-11-10
I bought this for my husband for our 10th anniversary and he loved it! I had completed the entire book before I gave it to him and it is a great thing to pass on to your kids.
I also bought one for my parents to fill out. They have been married for 42 years and are having a BLAST filling it out together!
Customer Reviews:
Love it!.......2007-09-17
I bought this book for my 2 year old nephew who will be our ring bearer. I love the poem style as well as the illustrations. I think it is a great choice for younger children to understand what goes on at a wedding.
Perfect Gift.......2007-08-03
I bought this book for my 4yr old ring bearer. It is so sweet and just what I was looking for. I would recommend it to anyone!
More aptly named, "The Ring Bearer's Guide".......2007-05-07
Well crafted illustrations and a simple, yet descriptive story line tells the tale of a young man and his duties, concerns, and adventures while being a ring bearer. My "little men" (we had two ring bearers) requested this read over and over in anticipation of their role in our big day. Highly recommended and appropriate for children ages 2-8.
Great Intro to Weddings.......2006-10-07
I found this at the library for my 2.5-year-old son simply as an intro to what a wedding is, as we'll be going to one soon. It doesn't talk about the child actually being the ring bearer, which is good in our case. It does focus some on the ring bearer, but shows the overall wedding as well with pictures of the bride groom, wedding guests, etc. It's a pretty simple book & is great for our purposes!
Average customer rating:
- Pretty good start but it fizzeled out!
- A nice conclusion to this series...
- Not as bad as some of the reviews suggest!
- The most boring romance novel I've ever read
- Hated it, but since the ending was already spoiled...

Book Description
Linda Lael Miller returns to an unforgettable Montana town for a very special occasion....
SPRINGWATER WEDDING
Once a frontier stagecoach stop, tiny Springwater has grown and changed and entered the twenty-first century. Cattle rustlers may still be stirring up trouble, but now they're high-tech operators in a modern world. Where stagecoaches once rolled along muddy roads, the Internet is now the newest highway in town. But heartbreak is still heartbreak and love still love, and Springwater still boasts a rich legacy of joy, sorrow, and second chances -- as two childhood sweethearts discover when they rekindle a long-ago passion in the place they will always call home.
Maggie McCaffrey left her fast-paced corporate job to take a chance on a more rewarding -- but riskier -- business venture: turning the dilapidated Springwater Station into a bed-and-breakfast. But Maggie didn't count on running straight into J.T. Wainwright, the hometown boy who stole her heart many years before. A tough former New York City cop, J.T. survived a grave gunshot wound and returned to Springwater to find a better way of life. Now, as deputy town marshal, he's facing off with modern-day cattle thieves who are plaguing local ranchers. Stronger than ever, J.T. seems ready for anything -- except, of course, Maggie.
As Maggie's B&B begins to take root, a delightful new cast of Springwater locals passes through its doors. Maggie's parents, Kathleen and Reece, are finding that their forty-year marriage requires a little renegotiating now and then. Cindy, a teenage newlywed with a baby on the way, is learning about love and sacrifice for the first time. And town marshal Purvis Digg is turning Springwater upside down by dating a woman he met on the Internet.
As always, Linda Lael Miller enchants readers with her portrayal of the complex tangle of life and love in a small town. With her trademark sensuality and her ?air for wit, she once again brings Springwater to life -- this time, at the dawn of a new era.
Download Description
Bringing a huge cast featuring the descendants of the beloved "Springwater" series, Linda Lael Miller offers a delightful new vision of the Montana town where SUVs have eclipsed stagecoaches, and railroads have given way to the information superhighway. But no matter the period, romance is still romance. When Maggie McCaffrey, a descendant of Will and Olivia McCaffrey, returns to the town, the one person she isn't prepared to run into is J.T. Wainright, the man who stole her heart years ago.

Pretty good start but it fizzeled out!.......2007-05-16
I have mixed feelings about this book I give praises to the auther for actually making me believe this was the same frontier town of Springwater. I was quit skeptical to say the least when I started the book. Although 100 years had pasted I was able to wrap my mind around the concept. THE STORY started off strong but I felt like it was a bit bogged down with substory lines that were completely boring. I skipped over a lot. I thought it was very predictable, but sweet. AT LEAST I WAS ABLE TO FINISH THIS ONE!!! I am reading Miller for the first time and now about 5 books in, I realize she is a HIT OR MISS author. WITH HER YOU ARE NOT GAURNTEED A GOOD READ.
A nice conclusion to this series..........2005-04-01
Although I was disappointed to jump 100+ years ahead of the other books in this series I still enjoyed this book. In this book you follow Maggie McCaffery (Jacob & June-Bug are her ancestors) & J.T. Wainwright (Scully & Evangeline are his ancestors). Maggie & J.T. grew up together in Springwater & were young lovers & eventually they split up & married others. 10 years later they both come back to Springwater to begin new lives & they re-kindle their love for one another very quickly. The beginning of this book is pretty slow but the ending is action packed. It made up for anything that I was missing at the beginning. It was nice hearing references to the other people in this series that lived a century earlier. If you have followed the Springwater series then I recommend this book if you are willing to jump to modern day.
Not as bad as some of the reviews suggest!.......2003-06-24
Apparently, from the other reviews, either you'll like it or you won't. I am in the middle of the road. I wished for more sparks between Maggie and JT- the romance was watered-down some. But the story was sweet. Maggie and JT go way back and because of family interference and misunderstandings they ended up with others and went through individual divorces - only to come back home to Springwater finding each other and renewing a relationship once again. Excitment is added with cattle poisoning, murder, and someone stalking Maggie. There are sub-characters that add a lot to the story as well. I suggest reading it but I don't know if I would recommend buying it. But it is a sweet read.
The most boring romance novel I've ever read.......2002-05-06
It was so boring that I didn't even bother to finish reading it. I really didn't care who the criminals were. The hero and heroine are lukewarm to the extreme. The "sexy" scenes weren't sexy (even the most intimate scene in the book makes you want to laugh out loud because of the heros comments).
I've never read a worse novel in this genre.
Hated it, but since the ending was already spoiled..........2002-04-13
I read all the Springwater series and loved them until this one. I had trouble getting into it and once I finally got into it it ended too soon. Poor Daphne, am I the only one who couldn't get over this part of the story line? Oh well, her husband isn't her husband - let me adopt a baby and get over it. I actually started to dislike Maggie because of her oh well attitude towards this tragedy happening to her best friend. I think I would slap any man who told me my best friends life was just turned upside down and in the same sentence asked me to marry him. And then she didn't see Daphne for awhile? I know I would need my best friend at that time. This contemporary Springwater is filled with a bunch of self centered jerks.

Perfect Gift.......2007-08-03
This book is so sweet! I was so excited when I opened the package and found exactly what I was hoping for. My 4yr old flower girl will love it.
Great Flower Girl Book.......2007-07-19
I gave this book to my flower girl the night before the wedding. She loved it and it gave her a better understanding of all the events that were going to take place the next day!
Suitable for your youngest flowergirl.......2006-08-08
This is a lovely rhyming story suitable for your youngest flowergirl. It's definitely in the 2-4yr old range. I bought it for my three year old niece who is flowergirl at our upcoming wedding and wrote in above each character our names and hers.
The Flower Girl.......2006-07-14
Cute book, if all you are looking for is a simple poem. However, I would say less than average if you are hoping to really explain "flower girl" details, and processes to a little girl.
Great Little Book.......2005-08-09
This book is really good to present to the young ones the day of the wedding to keep them occupied during the wait. It was in excellent condition.

Warm and Soothing Soup for the Soul.......2007-07-16
I got this book for my niece, soon to be married. She LOVES the Chicken Soup series, and, who can't use some soup for the soul, to sooth the nerves on such an important day!
This book is a must have for all new brides!.......2004-11-06
I saw this book advertised online and I bought it at our local book store when I became engaged. If you are a bride to be or in love or just love romance? This is the book for you the stories will tug at your heart strings, make you laugh,cry and even think about your new love. I am getting married this Nov 04 and the stories are AWESOME!
When you get busy with life's details reach for this book and find a comfortable chair and get cozy. You will not be sorry that you bought this book.I'm glad I bought this book it's fantastic.
The Important Things.......2004-08-31
Upon reading this book, I am immediately reminded of how strong the bond between couples in love must be, and how they can be. The stories in "Bride's Soul" consistently serve to regenereate and reinforce the fact that a lifelong love becomes a relationship in which the importance of the individual's existence gladly takes a back seat to the value of the couple's happiness together.
Love is a matter of respect, understanding, admiration, loyalty, strength, honor and commitment; and this book exemplifies all of these grand qualities in a language anyone could understand. I recommend this heartwarming book to any person who wonders about love, and all the power that it holds.
Thank You
Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul.......2004-08-17
This great book had me laughing and crying with touching stories on every page. It is not only a great gift for any new bride, but for anyone who has ever been a bride. An excellent anniversary gift idea. This book puts the important things in life into crystal clear perspective. If you like a good love story you will LOVE 101 of them in one book!
Energizes the motivation to plan your wedding.......2004-05-02
This book is great for Bride's to be and Veteran Bride's alike. I bought this book prior to my March 2004 wedding. It offered me insight and motivation to keep planning my wedding. It is hysterical and touching. The cartoons are amusing and they can almost guarantee you will find at least one you can relate to. Highly recommended for anyone who has or is about to embark on the path of marriage.

Book Description
Oh, how I hate traveling! So when I got an invitation to visit a long-lost relative who lives far, far away, I wasn't squeaking with joy. But Thea, Trap, and Benjamin thought it sounded fabumouse. They dragged me along to the crazy castle on Penny-Pincher Peak. Rat-munching rattlesnakes! I never should have agreed to go with them. . . .

Geronimo Stilton #28.......2007-02-10
Geronimo Stilton Wedding Crasher is a great book to read. It was so good, I read it all in one night! In the story, Geronimo gets a letter to go to a wedding at Geronimo's uncle Samuel S. Stingysnout's castle becuse Samuel's son is getting married. At the castle, they all get on an intertube in the water. When Geronimo sits down, he starts itching so he takes off his shorts! Everyone stares at him. Then, he has to go to the bathroom really badly so he runs into the yard doing a weird dance. Everyone looks at him once again! Next, Geronimo gets a box of chocolate and smashes it with his feet then gives it to Trap. Everyone looks at him for the last time. At dinner, Trap takes Geronimo's dinner so Geronimo does not get to eat. The next night, Geronimo sees uncle Samuel counting gold! He instanly tells the others. When they go outside to get some fresh air, they see the bride. She tells them she thinks she's ugly so Thea does a remakeover on her. I hope you enjoy Geronimo Stilton Wedding Crasher.
