REVIEW: PUERTO RICO
Well, at least on my end, being newer to the hobby, I approach Puerto Rico as a relative newbie, without the baggage of its longstanding reputation. So what did I think of this classic?

This book was well written. I had to keep in mind the time periods it was set in while reading it due tothe labels used. I think it accurately portrayed what being a lesbian in the 1980's was like. The interaction between the characters seemed forced but again I believe this was done intentionally to add to the overall mood. I think there were quite a few sterotypes in this book and that was a bit off putting but as I said in the 1980's some people were fitting those just to fit in. Overall it was a well written and edited book.

Night Night Bible Stories is a collection of stories for children. Parents can read them a story from this book each night. It good for parents and grandparents a like. The book is done well. I enjoyed each story and it understandable for children.

It was able to understand it better then reading the bible itself. It got stories from the old testament and some for the new testament. It broken down into these two parts. Though they flow together nicely in this one book.

The picture are done well. I really got the story behind each one with the pictures. The words and phrases were done well. I was really enjoyed them prase that chance with each story that you read. Some of the stories I got and knew well. I also got new stories I have not known or did not remember. It was really well done for me to understand and read.

Children will be able to grasp the stories being read to them and later be able to pick up the book and read themselves once they have learn to read. This book is worth having for young readers and parents. You can give it as a gift if you want or keep it yourself or for your children or grandchildren. Each story is different but they are written well. The easy to read and simple as well.

A new mother's journey in the aftermath of a natural journey, the novel has some very stark and touching moments. Written in fragments, possibly to reflect the turmoil but also possibly as a result of her 'former' self being a note-taker, it's an unusual presentation of such an overwhelming concept. It does, however, also make it a generally matter-of-fact narrative, with very little expansion on details or emotional reaction from the protagonist. At time this works well, as it seems a fair consequence to the reality being presented, but at time's I'd like to hear what our heroine is thinking or feeling, rather than coming across as an observational bystander. An interesting read, nonetheless.
