Mollie, Peter and Chinky rescue a naughty brownie, Winks, from Mr Grimm’s School for Bad Brownies. Together they visit the Land of Spells, the Land of Surprises and they even have to rescue the wishing chair and Chinky from the evil giant Twisty.

Enid Blyton’s books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, can George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy survive the ultimate test of their friendship : Brexit?

It is the night of the referendum and the Five have retired to Kirrin Island to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, fed up with the rancour of public debate. George is firmly a ‘remainer,’ whilst Julian, who is in the ‘Brexit’ camp, is tolerated on the grounds that Anne cannot bear to go camping without him. (Timmy, largely apolitical but not keen on cats or rabbits, joins them too.)

The night is tempestuous in more ways than one. George has managed to rig up a satellite link with the mainland so they can keep abreast of the news, and they sit huddled around the fire, amidst some tension, as George’s initial hope that the ‘remainers’ will triumph proves premature…

Meanwhile, a violent storm whips up. The damage is apparent as the new day dawns and George declares a new meaning for Brexit : Kirrin Island is exiting Britain…that is, until the red tape becomes too much of a challenge and their happy life together is under threat.

Perfect for anyone sick of hearing that ‘Brexit means Brexit’, or for that relative you’re still not talking to because of how they voted…

Few individuals have shaped their country’s civilization more profoundly than the Master Kong, better-known as Confucius (551-479 BC). His sayings and those of his disciples form the foundation of a distinct social, ethical, and intellectual system. They have retained their freshness and vigor throughout the two and a half millennia of their currency, and are still admired even in today’s China.

Sparks’s 1996 debut novel, The Notebook, was a fast and easy read that sold millions upon millions of copies. Other bestselling love stories followed (Message in a Bottle; A Walk to Remember; The Guardian), but Sparks’s fans have from the very beginning eagerly anticipated a sequel to the romantic tale of Allie and Noah Calhoun.

The wait is now over. Attorney Wilson Lewis has been married to Noah and Allie’s daughter, Jane, for 30 years. Wilson and Jane have raised three children and lived a satisfying and prosperous life in the bucolic town of New Bern, N.C. After forgetting his anniversary, Wilson realizes that the passion and romance have gone out of his marriage and fears his wife no longer loves him.

Being a methodical man, he decides to embark on a yearlong program to renew his romantic ties to his wife, seeking out the advice of Noah, who now spends his days in a retirement home feeding a swan he is sure is the reincarnation of his beloved Allie. In the midst of Wilson’s machinations, his daughter Anna announces she is getting married. The upcoming wedding provides Wilson with the opportunity to bring his elaborate plan to fruition.

Sparks tells his sweet story competently, without sinking too deeply into the mire of sentiment; a gasp-inducing twist comes at the very end. Satisfied female readers will close the covers with a sigh and a wish that a little of the earnest, too-good-to-be-true Wilson might rub off on their own bedmates.

But her intentioins regarding their marriage are soon clear– even if her motives are not. Gabe McKeige loved Annabel too fiercely to let a chance like this slip away.

And Annabel is finding that the man she once left is unbearably hard to resist…

Marry? But I don’t want a husband!”

Laurette made the declaration firmly–as if trying to convince herself, as well as Nuri, that it was true.

In fact, ever since Ian, the handsome British diplomat, had offered her love and a return to England, Laurette’s thoughts were confused.

How could she leave Turkey and her adopted family? And especially Nuri. Nuri, whom she found aggravating and fought with; Nuri, whom she had just discovered she loved! Could he possibly love her, too?

خلاصه ای از کتاب 

Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century—in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by the fateful decision made that winter night long ago.

A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter explores every mother’s silent fear : What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? It is also an astonishing tale of love and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache .that occurs when long-buried secrets are finally uncovered

My first daughter was born lifeless and gray-blue. “Like a seal,” I remember thinking as the room went bright white and the doctor started suctioning her mouth. I pushed my wife’s head back onto the pillow so she wouldn’t be able to see the slick form down below. The oxygen tank hissed angrily. In the minutes that followed, as we waited and waited for my daughter to cry, all the hopes we’d stored up were suffocated under the weight of our new future that filled the room with fear.

Mercifully, few parents experience the shattering birth moment we did, and it may be that memories of my daughter’s birth magnified the emotional impact of Kim Edwards’s debut novel. But I think anyone would be struck by the extraordinary power and sympathy of The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.

The book opens during a snowstorm in Lexington, Ky., in 1964, when Norah Henry realizes that she’s going into labor. The weather keeps her doctor from making it to the office in time, but her husband, David, is an orthopedic surgeon with enough experience to handle the situation.  Under the partial influence of gas, Norah gives birth to a healthy baby boy, but as David tells her the happy news, another series of contractions begins. He quickly sedates his wife again, and she gives birth to another child, a girl with Down syndrome. 

“Later,” Edwards writes, “when he considered this night — and he would think of it often, in the months and years to come : the turning point of his life, the moments around which everything else would always gather — what he remembered was the silence in the room and the snow falling outside. ” In that quiet, terrifying moment, the grief and resentment caused by his sister’s death at the age of 12 washes back over him, and he acts to preserve their vision of a happy future. He hands the baby to his nurse and asks her to take it to a home outside the city for handicapped children. When Norah awakens a few minutes later, he tells her their second baby was stillborn.

“He had wanted to spare her,” Edwards writes, “to protect her from loss and pain; he had not understood that loss would follow her regardless, as persistent and life-shaping as a stream of water. Nor had he anticipated his own grief, woven with the dark threads of his past.”
Edwards has trouble maintaining the electrifying atmosphere of this long opening scene, but David’s fateful decision that night is enough to power the novel through the next 25 years. The story runs along parallel tracks that don’t converge until the very end : The first follows the picture-perfect Henry family, three healthy, talented people separated from one another by the secret that only David knows.

The other track follows David’s nurse, Caroline, who couldn’t bring herself to follow his instructions that night. Instead, she left town with his baby, struggled through a series of part-time jobs, battled an unresponsive school system and managed to hammer out a joyful life. 
As a single mother at a time when special-needs accommodations are unheard of or considered naively radical, Caroline would seem to have a far more difficult path to travel. Edwards does nothing to minimize or romanticize that struggle, but Caroline makes her humble way in the world through sheer determination and with the help of like-minded activist parents who are beginning to argue that children with disabilities should be raised at home and attend regular schools. 

Those two sets of lives make for a thought-provoking contrast, a study in what really determines a family’s happiness. With a successful, lucrative career, David can give his wife and son everything, except candor. As Edwards points out — probably too many times — the effort to conceal what he’s done with their daughter poisons the atmosphere of their home with a colorless, odorless gas of deception. David throws himself into photography, a poignant attempt to freeze perfect moments and crop life just as he wants it. Barred from her husband’s heart, Norah turns to alcohol, then to a series of affairs, trying to deaden or distract herself from a sense of loss she can’t fully understand. 

Some ominously saccharine moments indicate that Edwards can slip into the treacly trade — “The love was within her all the time, and its only renewal came from giving it away” — but these gaffes are relatively infrequent, especially considering the presence of a handicapped character, who would, in less disciplined hands, be used to generate a waterfall of sentimental tears. 
The episodic structure allows Edwards to survey these two families through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, but frankly she’s best when she moves slowly. The middle section skips through the years, obscuring the characters behind Significant Historical Moments : Women’s Lib, Vietnam, Disability Rights. The novel begins to look as though it’s been planned by a divorced dad : Every alternating weekend encounter has to be packed with a major activity.

It only grows at night

Karen Tandy was a sweet and unassuming girl until she discovered the mysterious lump growing underneath her skin. As the doctors and specialists puzzle over the growth, Karen’s personality begins to change. The doctors decide to cut out the lump―but then it moves. Now a chain reaction has begun and everyone who comes in contact with Karen Tandy understands the very depths of terror. Her body and soul are being taken over by a black spirit over four centuries old. He is the remembrance of the evils the white man has bestowed on the Indian people, and the vengeance that has waited 400 years to surface. He is the Manitou.

Graham Masterton (born 16 January, 1946, in Edinburgh) is a British horror author. Originally editor of Mayfair and the British edition of Penthouse, Graham Masterton’s first novel, The Manitou, was released in 1976. This novel was adapted in 1978 for the film The Manitou. Further works garnered critical acclaim, including a Special Edgar award by the Mystery Writers of America for Charnel House and a Silver Medal by the West Coast Review of Books for Mirror. He is also the only non-French winner of the prestigious Prix Julia Verlanger for his novel Family Portrait, an imaginative reworking of the Oscar Wilde novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Masterton was also the editor of Scare Care, a horror anthology published for the benefit of abused children in Europe and the USA.

The Luscher Color Test is a psychological test invented by Dr. Max Lüscher in Basel, Switzerland. Max Lüscher believed that sensory perception of color is objective and universally shared by all, but that color preferences are subjective, and that this distinction allows subjective states to be objectively measured by using test colors. Lüscher believed that because the color selections are guided in an unconscious manner, they reveal the person as they really are, not as they perceive themselves or would like to be perceived.

خلاصه ای از کتاب 

Billed as a novel of “overlapping relationships,” Whitbread-winner Cusk’s evocative latest, with its tenuously connected sections, feels more like a short story collection linked by theme and a few shared characters.

Cusk (The Country Life; Saving Agnes) unites her tales via her characters’ lonely, isolated conditions and the knotty relationships between parents and children…#34;from Kristy, an imprisoned mother-to-be who gives birth in the back of a squad car in “Confinement,” to Mrs. Daley, an unhappy, controlling woman whose need to establish herself as a victim trumps her ability to find or give happiness in “Mrs Daley’s Daughter.” Cusk’s vision of contemporary relationships is a lonely, wintry one, in which people’s inner landscapes dominate.

This makes for gorgeous, languorous writing in places, but it also restricts the view : the landscapes are so rich with pathos that there isn’t always enough room for the range of human emotion so essential to prose that relies on thought instead of action. In “The Sacrifices,” a married woman who never had the baby she desired visits her childhood home, now occupied by strangers, and fantasizes about returning to her old room : “I would sit on my bed as the afternoon turned outside the window to night. I would wait for them to call me down.” This passivity runs throughout the book, as characters tend toward rumination rather than deed. But as readers come to the end, the lives of Cusk’s characters begin to tie together hauntingly. This is not life in all its messy complexity, but a mannered, poignant portrait of the treacheries of domestic life.

A modern classic restored to print — the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that charts the diminishing fortunes of a distinguished Boston family in the early years of the 20th century. Sweeping us into the inner sanctum of Boston society, into the Beacon Hill town houses and exclusive private clubs where only the city’s wealthiest and most powerful congregate, the novel gives us — through the story of one family and its patriarch, the recently deceased George Apley — the portrait of an entire society in transition.

Gently satirical and rich with drama, the novel moves from the Gilded Age to the Great Depression as it projects George Apley’s world — and subtly reveals a life in which success and accomplishment mask disappointment and regret, a life of extreme and enviable privilege that is nonetheless an imperfect life.

Nancy Drew Mystery Stories

Nancy Drew is an eighteen-year-old high school graduate. Her father, Carson Drew, is a well-known criminal defense lawyer. The Drews reside in River Heights and employ a housekeeper, Hannah Gruen. In early editions, she is depicted as a mere servant; later in the series she becomes more of a family member.

In the Harriet Adams rewrite, Nancy is depicted as a less impulsive, less headstrong girl of Stratemeyer’s and Mildred’s vision, to a milder, more sedate and refined girl— “more sugar and less spice”, with an extensive wardrobe and a more charitable outlook. Helen now appears older, perhaps in preparation for her eventual “write-out” after Volume 4 of the revised series (no explanation is made in the original series) to introduce Bess and her cousin George. Readers have noted two figures illustrated in the same vein as the cousins appear in a 1959 illustration at a girls’ camp). Perceived racial stereotypes are omitted. Action is increased significantly and is faster-paced. Greater detail is given to develop Nancy and her home.

The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times : in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.

“The Materia Medica Pura”, needs no introduction. It is Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s magnum opus. It is the source book of all subsequent materia medicas. It contains the original provings conducted by Dr Hahnemann on himself and his patients. All the symptoms are given in the language of the prover. It has an exhaustive symptom list. The study of the “Materia Medica Pura” is a very important part of the study of homeopathy. Here, the reader can go back to the origin of the symptom in the prover. Since the language of this book is the language of the prover, there is no scope for any erroneous interpretations.

Everything written by Dr Hahnemann is of historical importance and the same applies to this book also. It is the first ever recorded materia medica in the world. A wealth of knowledge can be gleaned by it, if one studies it seriously.
