Do you know if there are any fiction books about something supernatural happening during the Great Depression? Like vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, anything else you can think of. Young adult or adult level, please.

A subgenre of Speculative Fiction, Historical Fantasy is similar to Urban Fantasy, … Historical fantasy novels will be set in an actually historic and geographic … the demon she’s contracted to fighting demons and other supernatural threats. … Carnivale: Fantastic things happened during The Great Depression.

My step sister is at an all time low and needs some encouragement. Her baby was born with severe birth defects, blindness, seizures, can’t move her limbs, and has had to undergo many surgeries. Poor thing. Her mom is hurting very badly and hitting an all time low as she has to watch her baby suffer so much. Can anyone recommend any good books that would offer her some hope and encouragement?

I think that you should call a christian book store or go to one. Sometimes when you go, the book will find you.

I am starting my Christmas shopping early this year!

I need a book for my niece who is 13 or 14
I need a book for my nephew will be 18

Would like some good christian reading (I already got them Battlefield of the Mind for Teens by Joyce Meyer) Reccomendations? Thanks!!

How about
THE WORD OF GOD
best book you can give any one..
enough said..
beware of books, which are at least 100 years old! they are mostly false teachers and deceivers..
name a few..
joyce meyer
billy gram
etc..

they teach that God is a pretty god, and will give only the best and you will be surrounded by pretty flowers, and magical candylands..

I am 19 yrs old and strong in my Christian faith. and of course i am still growing. What are some good Christian books that deal with growth that will hold my attention? Not daily devotion though. Thankyou. Be blessed!

Read "Woman thou art loosed" By TD. Jakes. Very good book.

I have two little boys. 4yo and 3yo. Their Grandad passed away on Wednesday my 3yo doesn’t really understand but my 4yo is having trouble understanding heaven and death etc, just wondering if any body knows of a good Christian book for this age group explaining everything?

Nana Upstairs & Nana Downstairs by Tommie dePaola

The book itself is a way to introduce children to death. The boy in the story is 4 years old as well. The only thing is it deals with the death of a great grandmother but, the principle is there.

All of his stories are great for kids and, usually have some sort of life lesson.

I have several paper back activity books for the kids to do but I want to put the pages in a 3 ring binder so I can take pages out to make copies easily. Does anyone know any good clean ways to do this with out ruining any pages of the book? I heard about putting it in the microwave, but I don’t know if it would work or not. I may try the microwave technique with a book from goodwill or something but are there any more good techniques?

First make sure that the pages don’t have the perforations for tearing out — most workbooks do these days. Then carefully use a boxcutter knife and slit the pages as close to the binding as you can. Also, since you are deconstructing the book, open it as far as you can, and the glue may
split and release some pages. After a few come out the rest are easier to get.

I would like to just listen to Nora Roberts books online while I work. But you either have to download or have a MP3 player. Is there any link I can go to just to listen?

Ok, Nora Roberts books are copyrighted and there should be no way to listen for free. However, you can check out the audio books from your local library and listen to them at work.

Any site that offers a FREE copy of a copyrighted book is actually giving you a nasty. Sometimes you get it with the book, but most often you just get the nasty and no book. My own books have been offered by a site located in Estonia, but they didn’t actually have my books. They just had the titles and artwork.

The one that was first published and was open to the market… you know What I mean!

amazon.com is one source.

Would it be legal to talk about books online?
I am thinking of starting a blog that criticizes books. I have read the Langdon’s trilogy (Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, etc), and I am planning on criticizing it and more. I want it to be like Ebert & Roeper. Is it legal?

I might accidentally give away the plot. I don’t want to be sued. Is it better if I do it with the books that their copyright is ended?

So long as you do not impugn the author personally, you can critique their books. You can discuss the endings, although you may want to CLEARLY notify readers with "Spoiler Alert," if you are going to give away an ending, so that those who have not read the book have the choice to stop reading further.

It is better if you can discuss the writing style without giving away the plot as much as possible.
I suggest you read some book reviews to become familiar with how book critiques do this for a living, before criticizing a book and giving away the plot. You will garner far more readers that way.

Best of success to you!

I have some awesome interesting books at my laptop. but the problem is i don’t find that much comfort reading online or at the system ! What can i do to maximize my comfort reading online/ at the computer?
my eyes hurt a bit !

If you’re serious about the digital book thing you might want to consider getting an e-reader. If you get one with an e-ink screen (no backlight, no color), it reads just like paper so you don’t get the eye strain you get with a computer.

I have a NOOK I love but Amazon makes the Kindle, Sony makes a few, and I think Borders has one or will have one soon.

Just an idea because there really isn’t a way to make it comfortable to read on a computer. Just make sure that the e-reader supports the format your e-books are in.
