A nice little Christmas gift for a young reader. It contains stories, poems. What I like is they aren't the same tales you've heard every year, with the exception of Clement Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas".


Dark Tide I: Onslaught (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 2)
Review Date: 12/1/2012


My son, a Star Wars fan since he was young, loves this series, every book of it, no matter how old he gets. The only reason he's letting me post this copy is that it's a duplicate. He's hoarding the series he enjoys them so much.

Unlike other gift-making books, this one has many I'd ACTUALLY give or would even enjoy getting. There's 75+ ideas that are cheerful (not cute-sy) and up-to-date. Color pictures throughout, patterns and instructions.

Let Nothing Disturb You: A Journey to the Center of the Soul With Teresa of Avila (30 Days With a Great Spiritual Teacher)
