	he Shadow of the Wind
	(Spanish: La sombra del viento) is a 2001 novel by Spanish

	lot summary
	he novel, set in
	post�Spanish Civil War Barcelona, concerns a young boy, Daniel
	Sempere. Just after the war, Daniel\'s father takes him to the
	secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a huge library of old,
	forgotten titles lovingly preserved by a select few initiates.
	According to tradition, everyone initiated to this secret place
	is allowed to take one book from it, and must protect it for
	life. Daniel selects a book called The Shadow of the Wind by
	Juli�n Carax. That night he takes the book home and reads it,
	completely engrossed. Daniel then attempts to look for other
	books by this unknown author, but can find none. All he comes
	across are stories of a strange man � calling himself La�n
	Coubert, after a character in the book who happens to be the
	Devil � who has been seeking out Carax\'s books for decades,
	buying them all and burning them.[wiki]
	hy I love it: First of
	all one of the main characters of this book is Barcelona itself,
	as a city full of secrets. The author has a great gift in
	creating the right atmosphere, characters that are imperfect but
	still magical and story-lines that bind together in a haunting
	way. I could say, it\'s a book for books and how they can
	influence a person\'s soul.
	\'ve read it many times and it
	never gets old for me.

	ngels &
	Demons is a 2000 bestselling mystery-thriller novel written by
	American author Dan Brown and published by Pocket Books. The
	novel introduces the character Robert Langdon, who is also the
	protagonist of Brown\'s subsequent 2003 novel, The Da Vinci
	Code, and 2009 novel, The Lost Symbol. It also shares many
	stylistic literary elements with its sequel, such as
	conspiracies of secret societies, a single-day time frame, and
	the Catholic Church. Ancient history, architecture, and
	symbolism are also heavily referenced throughout the book.

	<em>A Tree Grows in Brooklyn</em> by Betty Smith
	first read
	this book from my mother\'s library when I was but 10 years old,
	and have read it almost every year since. I initially related to
	the characters, particularly the main character, Francie Nolan,
	who was also an avid book lover with a vivid imagination. Her
	family were first generation Americans, as my family was - and
	she lived hardships similar to my own. Flash forward a couple
	decades: Faced with the death of my father, I chose to keep his
	shaving mug because it still smelled of him and brought back
	memories of sitting on the floor watching him shave each
	morning. It wasn\'t until years later, while rereading <em>A
	Tree Grows in Brooklyn</em>, that I was reminded that Francie,
	too, asked for her beloved father\'s shaving mug to keep in a
	box under her bed. Amazing how books penetrate your subconscious
	and mark your soul. The book is character driven and vividly
	captures Brooklyn, New York at the end of the 19th century.
	Highly recommend it to those who haven\'t read it. The movie is
	also a work of art.

	he plot summary
	ora finds Patch
	intolerable and unsettling, as Patch is in turns able to draw
	her in and repel her with his behavior. Patch seems to know more
	about Nora than her best friends do, and after several
	inexplicable and life-threatening encounters that all seem to
	involve Patch, Nora becomes obsessed with figuring out who Patch
	is and why he is so determined to be in her life. Her quest for
	answers lands her in several dangerous situations, finally
	leading to the stunning reveal that Patch is in fact an angel
	who fell from Heaven, and who meant to kill her: explaining why
	he was in her school to begin with. Patch had found a way to
	become human through the text in the Book of Enoch. By killing
	Nora, he succeeds in killing his Nephilim vassal, Chauncey
	Langeais, turning Patch to human. Dabria, Patch\'s
	ex-angel-girlfriend, wants Patch to save Nora\'s life, thus
	turning him to a guardian angel so that they can be together
	again. Patch insists on becoming human, following his original
	plan. But this plan goes haywire when he accidentally falls in
	love with Nora.
	n a turn of events, Jules is revealed to be
	Chauncey, who wants revenge on Patch for tricking him into
	swearing an oath that will allow Patch to take over his body
	during the Hebrew month of Cheshvan. Nora kills him by
	sacrificing herself amidst their fight in the school. Patch,
	having fallen in love with Nora, chooses to save her rather than
	accepting the sacrifice to become human. By saving her, he
	becomes her guardian angel, but also effectively killing
	Chauncey, who had no soul to reanimate his dead body. At the end
	of the book it is clear that Nora and Patch have their happily
	ever after... for now.
	edit]
	really enjoyed reading this
	novel that i couldn\'t sleep for 2 days till I finished reading
	it

	The No. 1 Ladies\' Detective Agency is a series of twelve novels
	by Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith. The agency is located
	in Gaborone, capital of Botswana. Its founder is a Motswana
	woman, Mma Precious Ramotswe, who features as the stories\'
	protagonist and main detective. The episodic novels are as much
	about the adventures and foibles of different characters as they
	are about solving mysteries. Each book in the series follows on
	from the previous book. They have been adapted for radio,
	television, and internet.
	onderful series :agetsmiley:<a

	<strong>The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons </strong>

	k. This book is simply
	amazing. Are you a fairytaler? Trust me you will love it. Are
	you a non-fairytaler? No problem! The same thing will happen to
	you too. It\'s a combination of a heartbreaking love story,
	historical facts and great writing style. When you read it, you
	are in frozen Soviet Union, in the middle of WW II along with
	the characters. Even the cold, marble heart of your fellow bald
	lawyer feels things inside when (s)he reads it. Here we
	go:
	strong>Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer
	illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose beautiful palaces and
	stately avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was
	known as St Petersburg.</strong><strong>
	/strong><strong>
	wo
	sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one
	room with their brother and parents. It is a hard, impoverished
	life, yet the Metanovs know many who are not as fortunate as
	they.</strong><strong>
	/strong><strong>
	he family routine is
	shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the
	Metanovs, for Leningrad and for Tatiana, life will never be the
	same again. On the fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young
	officer named
	Alexander.</strong><strong>
	/strong><strong>
	atiana and her
	family suffer as Hitler�s army advances on Leningrad, and the
	Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under
	siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn to each other in an
	impossible love. It is a love that could tear Tatiana�s family
	apart, a love that carries a secret that could mean death for
	anyone who hears
	it.</strong><strong>
	/strong><strong>
	onfronted on the one
	hand by Hitler�s unstoppable war machine, and on the other by a
	Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and
	Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a
	turning point in the century that made the modern
	world.</strong><strong>
	/strong><strong>
	esmerizing from the
	very first page to the final, breathtaking end, The Bronze
	Horseman brings alive the story of two indomitable, heroic
	spirits and their great love that triumphs over the devastation
	of a country at war.</strong><strong>
	/strong>
	his book is the
	first of a Trilogy. There\'s also <strong>Tatiana and
	Alexander</strong> and <strong>The Summer Garden</strong>.
	hey
	seriously deserve a chance!
	arning: There are adult scenes in
	there. I know some are sensitive about this.
