Average rating on Goodreads: 3.80

My heart stopped and suddenly it was hard to breathe. His voice always had that effect on me. It was like a poison slowly running through my veins, killing me bit by bit. Like a drug that I couldn't get enough of, even though I was almost down to my last breath. Jace took a step forward and grabbed my hand. He slowly trailed his fingers over my face and backed me into the wall. My heart stopped again if that was even possible. "You can't leave," he whispered. "I need you." His warm breath kissed my lips as he bit his bottom lip and placed both of his hands around my face. They were warm and soft to the touch. Too big for my fragile face; although, I wanted to bury myself in them. "Breathe. There is no one here but the two of us. Breathe," he whispered.

Average rating on Goodreads: 3.96

The New York Times bestselling exposé of what passes for business as usual in Washington todayThere was a time, not so very long ago, when perfectly rational people ran the Republican Party. So how did the party of Lincoln become the party of lunatics? That is what this book aims to answer. Fear not, the Dems come in for their share of tough talk— they are zombies, a party of the living dead.Mike Lofgren came to Washington in the early eighties—those halcyon, post–Nixonian glory days—for what he imagined would be a short stint on Capitol Hill. He has witnessed quite a few low points in his twenty-eight years on the Hill—but none quite so pitiful as the antics of the current crop of legislators whom we appear to have elected.Based on the explosive article Lofgren wrote when he resigned in disgust after the debt ceiling crisis, The Party Is Over is a funny and impassioned exposé of everything that is wrong with Washington. Obama and his tired cohorts are no angels but they have nothing on the Republicans, whose wily strategists are bankrupting the country one craven vote at a time. Be prepared for some fireworks.

by Wayne Deeker
Genres: China, Anthropology, Nonfiction, Politics, History, Cultural
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.67

China is ever-more important to western countries, yet remains shrouded in myth. This book is the first to part those myths and demystify the realities of Chinese ways. Western people need to know because Chinese traits and values, combined with China's modern power, now literally affect all. This book examines the ancient origins of Chinese thinking in Confucianism and consequences for the modern world: it is especially relevant to business and government relations with China, also to educational and immigration issues. Yet it contains far more than warnings alone. Above all, it shows ways western people might learn from Chinese people, and to compassionately help them break free of their past.

What others are saying: "Rose Colored Glasses is a moving, informative, and - in the best and deepest meaning of the word - inspiring true story. It's an account of courage, faith and persistent hope. It's the kind of book you will want to read again and share with your friends because it's a book you will love." Mitch and Kathy Finley - Authors of numerous books including: What Faith is Not and the Liturgy of Motherhood "In detailing the events of her daughter, Katy's, birth and discovery of her bouncy, wiggly, eyes, Tomaszewski reveals a heartwarming and true story of the significant courage of ordinary people. While in most books the reader is permitted observation, Tomaszewski's writing style engages the reader in such a way that one feels like a member of her household. We seem to be in the same room when Ellen raises the shades and lets sunlight in - thereby discovering the odd characteristics of her daughter's eyes." - Rebekah Jakeman, book reviewer for the Entertainer Newspaper "Very beautiful and moving story." Mary O - Reader and parent of child with achromatopsia, Great Britain "I just finished reading your wonderful book. God certainly revealed His wisdom when he gave Katy to you. Very few moms would have had the love, patience, and perseverance to nurture and guide Katy to be the lovely young woman she has become." Reader Cherie R., Pennsylvania "Rose Colored Glasses is a great book which shows that any child with a disability as confusing as congenital achromatopsia can succeed with the assistance and advocacy of a devoted parent."

This book shows readers that Allah (SWT) bestowed a great favor upon the Prophet (PBUH) and the people of his nation by giving them the best and most magnificent of all divinely revealed books.

The Difficulty of Being Good: On the Subtle Art of Dharma
by Gurcharan Das
Genres: Philosophy, Nonfiction, India, Mythology, History, Spirituality, Indian Literature
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.11

Most of us spend our lives wrestling with day-to-day questions of right and wrong and these either unanswered or have no easy answer. This book turns to the Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata, in order to answer the question, ‘why be good?’ and it discovers that the epic’s world of moral haziness and uncertainty is closer to our experience as ordinary human beings rather than the narrow and rigid positions that define most debate and discussion today after 9/11.The Mahabharata is obsessed with the elusive notion of dharma—in essence, doing the right thing. When a hero does something wrong in a Greek epic, he gets on with it; when a hero falters in the Mahabharata, the action stops and everyone weighs in with a different and contradictory take on dharma. The epic’s characters are flawed; they stumble. But their incoherent experiences throw light on our day to day emotions of envy, revenge, remorse, status anxiety, compassion, courage, duty and other moral qualities. As the Mahabharata’s story unfolds in each chapter (and the author lets the epic speak as far as possible), the focus moves to a single character and his or her ethical problem–and its significance for our lives.
