Summer Love: How To Pick Up Girls Summer Edition

Author: Eric Weber
Average review score:

The text on summer pick-ups
Written by world-famous and best-selling author Eric Weber, this book is just as magical as How To Pick Up Girls! 42 pages of funny, witty and incisive comments from the Master of the Pick-up, all designed to help the shy and weak of heart to summon up the courage and go out there and do it! I certainly did, and I've now come to know the summer by its aka name, 'Easy pickings!' No joke. In other words, I can't recommend this book enough.


Summer Lovers (By Request)
Published in Paperback by Harlequin (July, 1998)
Authors: Barbara Delinsky, Elizabeth Lowell, Anne Stuart, and Harlequin
Average review score:

Three super books in ONE!
Three powerhouse writers Anne Stuart, Elizabeth Lowell and Barbara Delinksy with three full size novels in one!! This is how reprints should be done!!!

Anne Stuart the Queen of the blacksoul, blackhearted bad boys we loves, gives a change of pace with a smiling, kinder-gentler hero in Chain of Love. Cathy Whiteheart was barely pulling out of the deep depression after an abusive relationship, so her sister drags her on board aa yacht for a day in the sun. What she did not count on was Sin - Sinclair McDonald the owner of the boat being handsome, and pure male. He is imposing, terrifying and so bloody attractive that he send conflicting emotions running wild in a woman that has been hiding for life.
Sin is more than just sexy, he is funny and kind...something she is not used to in a man. These characters are warm, real and easy to love.

The dynamite Lowell gives us one of her best in Granite Man - the rock em - sockem Cowboy hero with a chip on his shoulder and a past bearing down on him. But is does not stop Mariah Mackenzie was slipping past his defences.

The Third is Delinsky's First, Best and Only - A CEO Marnie Lang meets with her first and best lover Drain Webster, could they make it work this time around? The Character captive your heart.

I love it when they reprint these books you might have missed first time around, but show respect to the readers and no try to push them off as individual books at big book prices.

a super buy of three super reads!!


Summer Mockery
Published in Paperback by Helen Weber (December, 1986)
Author: Helen Weber
Average review score:

My wonderful Grandma, Helen.
I am a teenager who loves books more than anyone I have ever meet or talked to. My Grandma is the author of this book, and it is even more fablous than the woman herself. It was amazing to see her name here at Amazon.com. It felt great. This book is all about the riots of black people in Milwaukee were my Grandma was a interviewer. She experienced first hand of what was going on.... it is a wonderful book!


Summer Nights (New Images Book)
Published in Hardcover by Aperture (March, 2001)
Author: Robert Adams
Average review score:

Between dreanming and Waking
Robert Adams' 'Summer Nights' has for me, been a seminal work in my development as an artist. The images in this book are evocative and powerful, yet plain and quiet. The book format and the sequencing of the images lend well to Mr Adams' style and subject matter. The quiet poetry of his night and evening journeys are a great begining and understanding into Mr Adams' work and ideas.

This is one book that should have been republished many years ago!


The Summer Noisy Book
Published in Library Binding by Harpercollins Juvenile Books (June, 1993)
Authors: Margaret Wise Brown and Leonard Weisgard
Average review score:

One of my 3-year-old's favorite books
My daughter loves this book. It's about a dog who takes a car trip to a farm and hears all kinds of noises. It's best when read with enthusiasm. My daughter likes to make the noises along with me or whoever is reading. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the text is large and easy to read, this will probably be one of the first books she can read on her own.


A Summer of Discontent: The Eighth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Little Brown Uk (June, 2003)
Author: Susanna Gregory
Average review score:

No discontent here
Gregory's eighth installment of the Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles takes our unassuming hero and his overly self-important sidekick, Senior Proctor Michael, out of Cambridge, hot footing it to the Isle of Ely in the Fens, to assist Michael's patron, de Lisle, Bishop of Ely, who has been accused by Lady Blanche de Wake of murdering William Glovere. Add two more apparent suicides (Haywarde and Chaloner) and multiple burglaries (pinned on the gypsies, represented by Eulalia,Guido, and Goran) and within thirty pages another well-crafted murder mystery is underway from the pen of this excellent pseudonymal author.
Very quickly Bartholomew ascertains that the three 'suicides' were in fact murdered in the same manner (a sharp implement inserted into the base of the neck) and the pressure quickly applies as Michael needs to solve the case to save de Lisle. Eight more murders follow before we catch our culprit(s), six of them monastic, as Gregory skilfully weaves a tale of plotting rebellion and political intrigue together.
Moving away from Cambridge has given Gregory the chance to develop several new characters. As we visit the place where Michael took his vows, we meet the obese sub-prior Thomas, the greedy almoner, Robert, the architect prior, Alan, the sub-hosteller, William, the kindly resident physician Henry, his recalcitrant and nasty knife-obsessed assistant, Julian and a group of seditious townsfolk, represented by the insidious Leycestre and his nephews who are supported by the parish priest, John.
The return of Tysilia, the overly promiscuous 'niece' of de Lisle (we in fact discover she is the fruit of a union of de Lisle and his accuser, Blanche), from the preceding 'An Order for Death' provides an entertaining aside. Gregory has created a useful and enigmatic character in Tysilia. A loose canon, she can get the plot moving whenever Gregory has sown up things a bit too tightly, and you can't help feeling that underneath the veneer of stupidity, there must be concealed a cunning mind.
So, we move from barns and vineyards to infirmaries and local taverns, are presented with the inevitable politics and feuds that a closed society generates, are brought near the inherent rebellious problems that a feudal society with such a gulf between rich and poor generates, experience Bartholomew's frustration with the gluttonous monks and his inability to get in to the library and revel in the discomfort that Michael experiences when he becomes the target for Tysilia's amorous intentions.
This novel is neatly summed by Bartholomew when he declares that the problem in solving the murders is that they have so many relevant snippets of information but no thread. There are many characters who have expressed personal motive for killing at least one, but never all, of the victims, and there is a decided lack of apparent motive most of the way through. Still, by the time we end up racing after the murderer(s) into the under repair cathedral and we get the inevitable summation of events Michael eventually (dis)proves Ely's culpability in the first murder which started it all off and we are provided with immense mind-bending fun along the way.
Gregory's ability to set scene and plot in such a short space of time, taking you right into the heart of thirteenth century England is faultless. Her ability to portray the town of Ely, and specifically its priory is a delight and of the highest class. The Bartholomew series is now set as one of the finer sleuthing establishments and I can only hope it is a long time before the author downs her pen.


Summer of Fifty-Seven: Coming of Age in Wyoming's Shining Mountains
Published in Hardcover by Sunstone Press (November, 2002)
Author: Stephen C. Joseph
Average review score:

An Adventurous Journey Back in Time
How wonderful an experience to go back to the days of innocence and adventure. Meet a superb story teller and fine writer in Stephen Joseph who takes us through his coming of age story to meet Jim Billy, Dick, and especially those old spirits of the West. All names that shaped a deep part of who he grew to be. This book has it all--romance, adventure, nature,and of course humor--all told with remarkable descriptions. And most of all you will be surprised with the author's revealing himself to us. Don't think this is a guy's book; any woman will enjoy the women characters that play an important part in the stories. Must read for anyone who grew up in those days; and a delightful longing might await those of you who didn't. Must read!


Summer of Fire: Yellowstone 1988
Published in School & Library Binding by Orchard Books (August, 1991)
Author: Patricia Lauber
Average review score:

Photography and facts at their best!
If you've been through Yellowstone lately, you've seen the path of the 1988 fire. The sadness felt by many about the "losses" in the park will be greatly reduced after reading this fine book. The photos alone are enough to help people realize the good fire can do to a landscape. The well-written text explains, without jargon, the biology of a fire. If you're a Yellowstone fan, wildlife fan or woodland firefighter fan, I'd recommend this book.


Summer of Miracles

This book is very uplifting as well as spiritual.
Summer of Miracles by Jamie Buckingham is the most uplifting, spiritual book I have ever read. It deals with issues that people might be afraid to face. It offers compassion and hope to its readers. I would highly reccomend that anyone who is questioning their faith should read this book.
