1 | I wished it was abridged | One of the worst books that I have read in a long time. I was a big fan of her early books and gave up on the series a few books ago. Lacking anything better to read I picked this one up and found it to be the worst one yet. Marmee wasn't scary because all she did was give Anita an excuse to screw more men and the o... | [] | 0425222195 | 0425222195 | AGLC26NTLVHQAAEKAXBUMJPW5APQ | 1,219,791,408,000 | 9 | false |
2 | Not worth the money. | If you want to read a book about sexual escapades, this is the book for you. If you prefer a little plot with your books, pass on this one. Had this been the first Laurell Hamilton book that I had read, I would never have picked up another. The early Anita Blake books were excellent, however I think the writer has b... | [] | 0345423399 | 0345423399 | AGLC26NTLVHQAAEKAXBUMJPW5APQ | 970,695,283,000 | 8 | false |
5 | New Children's Classic | This is a must read for your young child or grandchild.

4 | Slightly biased reviewer from Lovelock | So first of all, I must confess that I am from the town of Lovelock NV and have lived here my whole life.

4 | Not for everyone | I have to be honest here. Not my favorite book, but not horrible. I bought this strictly on speculation.

4 | Short and bittersweet | Great read, but extremely short. I have read almost all of this author’s books.

4 | Satisfied with the story | Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

5 | Worth reading | This is definitely worth reading. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and quietly crying the next.

5 | Heirloom Bible | The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is a respected translation that has been around for several hundred years and is the go-to for many Christians when studying the Bible and memorizing Scripture.

4 | Good Resource for an Avid Birder | My wife is an avid birder and I selected this book for her, thinking it would be a helpful tool for her.

5 | Very Nice KJV Reference Bible | While there are a lot of Bible translations available, I would say the most widespread English translation is the King James Version (KJV) and is the one that most have used for memorization.

5 | Good Book on an Often-Misunderstood Topic | One of the expressions that confuses people when talking about Christian faith is the fear of God. The word "fear" often carries with it a negative connotation, and as such people equate a fear of God as meaning to be deathly afraid and walking on eggshells.

5 | Not Just a Recipe Book; Explains Some of the Reasoning Behind the OT Dietary Laws | The Old Testament has a lot to say on what we should and should not eat.

5 | Deep Read on the Second Coming | I selected this title with much apprehension. Author John Piper is a well-known and well-respected author.

5 | Easy to Read; Depth and Warmth | I will confess that I misunderstood this book when I selected it.

5 | Heady Writing for the Serious Student | John Owen was a prolific author and theologian in his time, and he wrote a large amount of material of theological value.

4 | Common Sense Approach to a Healthier Lifestyle | I was mildly pessimistic about this book, to be honest, as I have seen many celebrity cookbooks and fitness books that have really fallen flat and have been more of a vanity publication rather than a useful volume.

5 | Clear and Direct | I like devotional books, though I have seen a mixed bag of good ones and less-than-good ones. I was hopeful about this one and so far I like it.

5 | Suitable for Family Discussion | I selected this little book with the thought of it being suitable for discussion with either my wife or my family as a whole.

3 | Heavy Reliance on Unusual Ingredients | I selected this cookbook with minimal knowledge of low-lectin eating, more out of curiosity than a desire to eat healthier.

4 | Heavily Venison-Centric; Misses a Few Common Game Types | I am not much of a hunter but I do like wild game and I do get gifted venison meat occasionally so I have been looking for recipes for properly preparing it. I also have a fondness for rabbit so I was hoping that this book would provide some ideas there too. This is an interesting book that covers a wide swath of wild ... | [] | 0760377359 | 0760377359 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,671,447,188,311 | 0 | false |
5 | Quantity and Variety | In most cases, I think something like this would appeal to someone working in education. There are other uses though and a collection like this can be a fun artistic flare for otherwise dull lettering or envelopes. So far, I am pleased with them.<br /><br />This book boasts over 3,800 letter stickers across 50 designs.... | [] | 1523515260 | 1523515260 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,671,189,039,761 | 1 | false |
5 | An Important Read for Church-Goers | Far too often, pastors are treated like passing acquaintances that are there to serve a purpose once a week and are forgotten after the message ends on Sunday morning. There's a lot more to pastoring a flock than just getting up and lecturing for 30-60 minutes on Sunday mornings. If that's all a pastor did, the local c... | [] | 143358476X | 143358476X | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,671,018,604,644 | 0 | false |
4 | Covers Major Themes and Ideas in Luke | I selected this book with the thought of learning a bit more about the Gospel according to Luke. I have read through Luke multiple times and it seems there is always something new that jumps out, so I was hopeful that this book would reveal some new-to-me insights. However, I also had a suspicion that it would be a boo... | [] | 143357523X | 143357523X | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,671,015,759,227 | 1 | false |
5 | Beautiful Prayer-Centric Devotional | I selected this devotional as a gift for my wife who loves to read and has an appetite for devotionals like this one. I wasn't completely sure what to expect but [rightly] assumed it would be a good one. So far I am pleased with it.<br /><br />I will start with the physical volume itself.

4 | Fun Couple Activity | I have seen books like this in the past but it has always been in the context of writing down things about yourself for your kids to treasure later. I knew that these types of books existed for couples but this is the first one I have seen. I thought it would be a fun thing to do with my wife. There's a lot to like wit... | [] | 1685399258 | 1685399258 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,670,240,604,593 | 0 | false |
4 | Interesting and Engaging Devotional Bible | There are a lot of Bibles on the market, and they vary between target audience, extra content, physical volume, and of course (and probably most importantly) translation. Selecting a Bible for reading and study is a very personal choice and requires some thought. This particular Bible is a devotional Bible with notes f... | [] | 0785246649 | 0785246649 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,670,239,452,535 | 3 | false |
5 | Depth not Found in Many Modern Writings | I enjoy a good devotional and I am always looking for new sources. Many of them out there are lacking, though, and only skim the surface and don't take the reader on a reflective journey beyond a warm fuzzy. This book is different. This book collects some wonderful devotions from various sources into one bound volume. ... | [] | 1433577798 | 1433577798 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,667,993,597,362 | 0 | false |
4 | Interesting and Useful Tool but Not Exactly a Prayer Journal | I will be very blunt here - I am not sure what to make of this little book. I selected it on the basis that it's titled as a prayer journal, and with that comes some expectations of what's inside and how to use it. It's not what I would call a prayer journal, though it is partially so.<br /><br />This is a strange volu... | [] | 1433579766 | 1433579766 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,667,991,594,245 | 2 | false |
4 | Good Book but Gravitates Heavily Towards Asian Cuisine in Emphasis | I selected this book for a couple of reasons. First, I am familiar with the author's writing, having owned a copy of Home Baking for years (which is excellent, by the way). Second, I had high hopes that this would be a good reference for canning, preserving and seasoning different foods. It's a beautiful book packed wi... | [] | 1579659446 | 1579659446 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,667,819,940,587 | 5 | false |
3 | Fine Book but Strays from the Stated Topic | Radically Whole is marketed as a book that addresses the [common] phenomenon of a divided heart - a heart that wants two things and wants the best of both without the consequences of being divided. The focus of this book is centered around the book of James and it takes a fairly deep dive into the Scripture. However, i... | [] | 1433582066 | 1433582066 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,667,818,232,211 | 0 | false |
5 | Beautiful Box Set, Suitable for Gifting | I will start by saying that this set is not quite what I was expecting. I thought these little journaling books would be devotional-style books that had room for jotting down a few thoughts. I did not realize it is designed as a full New Testament set of volumes with as much room for writing as there is for reading. It... | [] | 1433581655 | 1433581655 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,667,468,068,394 | 2 | false |
5 | Nice Prayer Journal, Focused on the Peace of Christ | I selected this prayer journal with my wife in mind. I am familiar with other similar journals in this series and this one follows the same basic format.

5 | Deep-Dive Bible History Lesson | I have often wondered how the different books of the Bible were selected and canonized. I have read some other works on this in the distant past but I haven't visited this in a long, long time.

5 | Regional Cuisines and Beautiful Pictures | I chose this cookbook as much out of curiosity as I did for the recipes and pictures. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of how recipes related to national parks - it's not like restaurants are plentiful in the parks or anything. However, after spending some time with this book and digging through it makes some sens... | [] | 0760375119 | 0760375119 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,666,779,937,462 | 1 | false |
5 | Encouraging and Clear Understanding | Max Lucado is a very prolific Christian author any my wife and I have several of his books.

5 | Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak | I have a couple of other books by author Paul David Tripp and I have found his writing to be approachable as well as on target. I like his writing. So, I was interested in reading this book as well. In it, he tackles a touchy subject for many people - online behaviors.<br /><br />The Bible obviously doesn't talk about ... | [] | 143358266X | 143358266X | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,666,691,645,401 | 0 | false |
5 | Excellent Book on Southern Cooking | I have always liked southern-style cooking and I am always on the lookout for good recipe collections like this one. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect here - southern cooking from a northern kitchen paints an image in my mind of typical southern cuisine hybridized with northern cuisine, making the two into a weird m... | [] | 0760375321 | 0760375321 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,666,174,040,382 | 0 | false |
4 | An Idea Book for the Journaling Traveler | I have kept a journal for years and I am often on the lookout for ideas to try in my journals that I might not have previously thought about. I saw this book on travel journaling and thought it might bring some good ideas to the table. It does do that but it doesn't quite go far enough for the beginner.

3 | Boards for the Sake of Boards | "Boards" is currently a trending thing in cooking and it seems everyone is slapping stuff on a board and wrongly calling it "charcuterie", and often writing a book about it or posting online about it. To her credit, the author does not call her collection charcuterie, but it seems like using a board for serving was mor... | [] | 076037807X | 076037807X | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,666,085,776,759 | 1 | false |
5 | Solid Material for Anyone Considering a Church Leadership Role | Anyone who is contemplating church leadership, whether a pastoral team position, a deacon, or any other ministry leadership role needs to know what's expected and how to actually lead.

5 | Not Just a Grilling Book | Two things I really like when I prepare foods are the sticky sweetness of honey and spicy heat. Hot Honey is a product that combines these two in one ingredient so I was excited to get a look at this cookbook, and it has not disappointed. Even if you don't care for heat this is a neat little cookbook.<br /><br />I did ... | [] | 1631068482 | 1631068482 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,664,762,686,437 | 0 | false |
5 | A 31-Day Guide to Structured Worship with Purpose | There is a very distinct difference between liturgical worship and more contemporary worship styles (I'm not referring to music in this instance). Liturgical worship is very structured with a sense of order and purpose, often with a feel of being scripted or following a menu, whereas more recent worship forms are typic... | [] | 1433586967 | 1433586967 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,664,359,720,303 | 0 | false |
5 | Fun Cookbook; Vegan | I will confess, I selected this cookbook out of curiosity more than anything. It has proven to be more entertaining than practical, though the recipes certainly aren't bad.<br /><br />One thing that I should be made clear up front - this is specifically a vegan cookbook. It does say "plant based" on the cover, but it i... | [] | 1631067850 | 1631067850 | AFLX66DKF6R3H6OEOC3TIVAYXZIQ | 1,664,274,826,809 | 0 | false |
4 | Light Devotional Based On Lucado's Other Writings | My wife and I have always liked Max Lucado's writing and I keep my eyes open for new books and devotionals from him.

4 | Ephesians Deep Dive | When considering the New Testament, people often refer to Romans as the backbone of it, though Ephesians runs a close second (speaking from observation and years of attendance in the church, not on statistical analysis).

4 | A Closer Look at Romans from a Reformed Perspective | When I selected this book I was unfamiliar with the author. That said, I had a strong feeling that this book would be a Romans-based reformed study guide, and that thought has been proven out.

5 | Great Primer | Calligraphy is something in which I have been interested and I selected this book to learn more about it.

5 | Good Hardcover Study Bible | There are many study Bibles available, in numerous translations and that focus on different methods of study or theological frameworks.

5 | Excellent Devotional/Study of Luke | I selected this book not realizing it was a devotional (my oversight), thinking it was a brief study of the book of Luke. I was interested in digging in a little more deeply than I have in the past and took a chance.

5 | Very Nice Study Bible; Large Print and Manageable Size | A good study Bible is an invaluable tool for someone wanting to learn Scripture and what it means.

5 | Good for Families with Children | I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. I have been looking for a devotional book for families and chose this one.
