Must Have Phonics Readers.......2000-10-28
These are the easiest way to teach children to read. The books are ordered in sets and groups, so each concept is mastered before another is presented. Our son learned to read at a private school using these books, so we are now using them to teach our daughter. The illustrations do look dated, as they were published over a decade ago, but nonetheless, they are wonderful books!

Steven and Billie are to marry.......2005-03-26
Steven Wakefield and Billie Winkler are to be married! Tom Watts gives Elizabeth an Engagement ring,I loved it when Alice said Yoo-Hoo Bride and Groom! It said that Billie was an only child,but in College Weekend it said Billie was visiting her sister once in college and pulled an amazing stunt,and tells about lighting candles and writing at the computer about the great American Novel,She thought she lost her sister's files for a report,but it was somewhere else. What gives?
top book.......1999-10-13
Its so hectic over at the wakefields. I have to say alice has many sides to her, she needs to chill. the picture of streven at the front is great, he is so fit, Billies a lucky women. It was hilarious the way steven turns into a zombie. the plot was great, i wasn't suprised when they called off the wedding, as they both weren't ready for it. Overall a fab book and Jess dont worry you'll make up with your mum.
Cool Book!!.......1998-05-30
The Wakefields are in a state of confusion. With Billie and Stevan getting married there is so much to do. This book is pretty cool. It is funny the way Jessica and her mother keep fighting over everything. It gave me a good laugh. But I think the book should have had more of the best character, LILA. Otherwise it was awsome!!
Book Description
There comes a time in every woman's life when she must get herself a man or give up the idea entirely...
After three long years of patiently waiting for her reluctant, handsome, gentlemanly Amos Dewey, to pop the question, Augusta Mudd--owner of her small town's biggest factory--decides it's time to take matters in her own hands. With the help of her friend, ruggedly attractive Rome Akers, she's determined to make Amos jealous--and get him to the altar--before it's too late.
Rome Akers wasn't ready to settle down. But by pretending to make Augusta his partner for life he had a chance to become her business partner instead. Yet despite his best intentions, the closer he gets to this intelligent, sweet woman, the stronger his feelings grow. Their tantalizing conversations and tender kisses ignite a desire more passionate than Roman ever imagined. Soon he'll do anything to make Augusta a bride--but only if he gets to be the groom.
Customer Reviews:
Sweet.......2002-02-16
If you love romance inits simplest, warmest, most satisfying form, this novel will be candy to you. Morsi is an expert at giving readers exactly what they want. It offers few surprises, but it delivers exactly what it promises: sweet sexy romance. A pleasant way to spend a rainy Saturday. Oh, and it finally offers a heroine who is able, even encouraged to manage her own life, not become subservient to a man.
5 chili peppers.......2000-09-27
"There comes a time in every woman's life when she must get herself a man or give up on the idea entirely. Augusta Mudd had reached that moment."
Augusta Mudd, spinster businesswoman of Cottonwood, Texas, had waited long enough. For three years she's waited for Amos Dewey to propose to her, but the reluctant beau just couldn't take a hint. It was time for a shove. So Augusta decides to enlist the help of a friend, the ruggedly handsome Rome Akers.
Rome wasn't a man ready to settle down, but he was a man ready to take charge of his destiny. In return for helping Augusta with her unusual plan to get Amos to the altar, Rome has his chance to become her business partner. Pretending a personal interest in Augusta was a small price to pay. But the more time he spends with Augusta, the stronger his feelings for the smart, sweet woman grow.
There will be a bride by the fourth of July. But who will be the groom?
Ms. Morsi weaves a wonderful tale with characters that are easy to champion. The secondary characters and their interwoven plot line is a story in itself, yet it enriches the main thread without over shadowing. Americana in its splendor, HERE COMES THE BRIDE is a story you won't want to put down!
Profit Margin versus the Human Condition.......2000-09-07
After three years of "walking out" with her beau, Amos Dewey, Augusta Mudd is more than ready for marriage. But it seems Amos, with his successful business, his house being well cared for, and Augusta for friendly companionship, has no need of a wife. As a successful businesswoman herself, Gussie realizes that Amos needs to be shaken out of his complacency by some good old-fashioned competition. With that in mind, she offers a business proposition to the manager of her ice factory, Rome Akers. The plan is to pretend to be sweethearts until Independence Day while, in the interim, provoking Amos into proposing to her. In exchange, Rome gets the equal partnership that he has always longed for. Initially, Rome isn't too keen on the plan. He's fond of his employer and cares about her but he is also ambitious. If he hadn't thought Amos truly was the right man for Gussie, he would never have agreed to such a clinically outlandish plan. But as they plot together, laugh together, converse together, and deepen their relationship beyond business, Rome and Gussie find themselves falling in love with each other. Eventually, Rome finds himself desperate to be the groom Gussie wants to complete her ideal wedding.
Pamela Morsi has captured small town life in this Americana story. The town of Cottonwood is rife with gossip both malevolent and benign and each of the characters that make up the town is developed in such a way as to bring the town to life without superimposing themselves over Gussie and Rome. Gussie is a woman who is different from most heroines I've read about. Instead of being a romantic dreamer, she is businesslike and practical. Though she dreams of the ideal wedding and the ensuing marriage, she has not had the right kind of experience with men to make those dreams romantic ones. Instead, her wedding is painted in her mind as picturesque and traditional just as her dreams of marriage are planned for the benefit of both individuals. She has not picked Mr. Dewey for the passion he instills in her but rather for their compatibility of temperament and status. She believes in a marriage that will benefit both parties in a practical fashion. It isn't until her friendship with Rome deepens and he introduces her to passion that she realizes that she cannot be content with such a marriage. Rome starts out content with his bachelor status and is ambitious when it comes to his financial and social status in Cottonwood. He has a good and discreet relationship with the town widow but when he falls in love with Gussie, he realizes that everything, even a partnership in her ice factory, pales in comparison to having her in his life. He is certainly a Romeo like no other I've read before and is endearing with his gentleness, consideration, and love for Gussie.
I love a book with a little different slant...............2000-08-30
.....and "Here Comes The Bride" offered that! A romance book with a heroine that isn't 'ravishingly beautiful, but rather a pleasantly, pretty spinister (at least for these times!)and a hero that isn't dark, dangerous and deadly! Just like real people. However, Pamela Morsi brings them together with as much steam and high voltage as any couple the likes of Julie Garwood has conjurned up! This was the first Morsi book I've picked up...but, won't be the last. This was a joy to read!
Great as usual.......2000-07-29
Pamela Morsi hasn't let us down. This is another good story about less than perfect people. The heroine is a spinster, the hero an almost confimed bachelor and the town floozy saves the sanitation project. I love the fact that her characters are so natural and somewhat flawed. Most of us can relate and this one is no exception. I can't wait for her next one. This made me laugh at the humor and sigh with the romance. A great romp.
Book Description
In Here Comes the Bride, Jaclyn Geller exposes the social forces that shape how people feel about weddings, calling into question some of the deepest-held beliefs about this tradition. Divided into three sections, the book begins with how-to-get-your-man manuals and ends with the newlywed year. First there’s “Courtship and the Marriage Quest.” Geller looks at the absurd nature of proposals, the inane practice of engagement and gift-giving, and the bizarre rules governing the wedding dress. In part two, “The Big Day,” she deals with the specifics of the wedding itself. There are place cards and table settings, rigid photo ops, vows, toasts, garter belts, and daddy dances. What do these highly scripted procedures say about this most treasured ritual? Finally, the author explores some of marriage’s deeper implications in “Living in the Plural”: the strangely isolating honeymoon and the establishment of marital identity that begins with a simple thank-you note.
Customer Reviews:
I still hope to get married..........2005-06-25
I think Geller makes a good point with the role that women play and the commercialization of marriage. However she seems to present interesting facts on the history of marriage and the cultural role of marriage. But she then jumps to the argument that marriage and weddings are not a healthy thing for women and society?? What about a marriage based in equality and respect? What about a prenup?? What about having a wedding where you do not have to pay as much??
I think that this is a fascinating book to read being interested in the cultural issues of marriage and courtship. However I find her arguments a little unsettling. I still recommend this book to people who seem to get all caught up in the marriage culture so that they have a chance to get another perspective.
I would reccomend the book Pink THink for this audience
good critique, but too much of ax to grind.......2004-09-10
Like Jaclyn Geller, I'm an unmarried woman with divorced parents. I am also probably around her age. While I agree with what she says about heterosexual marriage being too overhyped in corporate America and the media, and I also make fun of self-help books about husband-hunting, I think she takes all of it much too seriously!
I also don't subscribe to her belief that women "must stop repeating the absurd mantra 'it's okay to be single,' and adopt the more aggressive stance that 'it's not okay to be married (page 72).'" With that kind of attitude, she's no better than the radical conservatives who say just the opposite.
Although I'm no expert on this subject, I did find her research on the history of marriage throughout ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, and up to the last fifty years thorough and well-written. But I think one of the reviewers here made a very good point about her not interviewing any brides or married women. I would have liked to see her interview both women who were happy being married and women who weren't, and try to find out why the unhappy women got married in the first place.
Perhaps part of the answer - but not all of it - is that the happy wives got married because they really wanted to and the unhappy wives got married because they felt pressured to do it. But this way, Jaclyn Geller would have found that many women are not as vulnerable to marketing hype as she seems to believe.
I think she should have made this book an expose or study of the wedding industry itself. If she explored why it's a multimillion-dollar industry and how its advertising exerts a big influence on our culture and ordinary Americans, she would have made a much stronger case.
Oh, please.......2004-06-15
This book gets two stars rather than one because I do agree with Ms. Geller on one point: the wedding industry is way, way out of hand. As one of those who practice "couple fascism" (Geller's term for the institution of marriage -- more on that later!), I was astounded when I planned my wedding two years ago. There are a lot of people eager to make a lot of money off of your big day. It's easy to let the wedding industry suffocate you with a "it has to be a perfect Martha Stewart day" mentality, and Geller definitely points out that danger.
But that's all I liked about this book. In essence, it's a mean-spirited, narrow-minded diatribe against anyone who believes in marriage. Geller has absolutely no understanding of the true nature of marriage. She sees it as complicity in a capitalist/conservative/patriarchal system, as a smug attempt by couples to make singles feel bad about themselves, as an opportunity to show off by throwing a lavish party. Utterly missing from this book is any mention of the spirituality of marriage. My personal faith background teaches that the lifelong union of two people is a symbol of God's love for and commitment to humanity. Of course, she dismisses such beliefs with a sneer. Her loss.
She also observes that it's unnatural to make a lifelong comittment to someone when you aren't sure you'll really love him/her in future. Anyhow who has been married for any length of time knows that there's actually a freedom that comes with marriage vows: rather than throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble, you are forced to work through problems together. It's times like these that really develop a relationship. This is why so many of us feel hope when we see an elderly couple walking down the street holding hands: we know, in our bones, that there's something beautiful about such longevity.
A refreshing and challenging perspective!.......2003-05-29
Even if you already have wedding plans, Geller makes you really think about the true reasons why we follow tradition and fall into the wedding trap, especially its extravagance. It's not an easy read, She defies our conventional views and shatters many of the fantasies of brides-to-be. While there are ideas of hers I don't agree with, I welcome the stimulating views of the author and recommend it to anyone, engaged or not. I think you should discuss this book with your partner/fiancee before making any further wedding plans, if you want an honest, deep look at what you are both getting into (and stating to society and to yourselves) through your wedding.
Flawed, but vastly entertaining.......2002-10-12
How times have changed. Feminism used to be about women making their own choices of what they wanted to do with their lives. Not anymore. Now it's about doing exactly what other, more prominent feminists tell us. Take the author of this book, Ms. Geller. She clearly loathes the whole institution of marriage. Therefore, in an argument that demonstrates a profound lack of logic, she argues that NO ONE should get married. Her evidence? Marriage was once heavily oppressive to women, and she gives hundreds of historical vignettes to support this. But she conveniently forgets that marriage has also existed in such remarkably egalitarian societies as ancient Egypt. However, the bulk of Ms. Geller's wrath is reserved for the modern wedding: her descriptions, dripping with bitterness, of the modern bride and groom, are priceless. I, too, question the motives of lavish, enormously expensive weddings, and sexist, tacky customs like throwing the garter and "giving away" the bride. But to say the whole idea of marriage is wrong because of a few customs that have become associated with it? That's going a bit far. The message I got from this book: Don't get married. Why? BECAUSE I SAID SO! And people are listening: just look at the reviews from new brides, claiming that if they had known they were joining such a sexist, musty old institution by daring to get married, they never would have gotten married at all. They were nothing but dupes, while Jaclyn Geller alone knows the true, righteous path. Talk about not being able to think for yourself! Entertaining as it is, this book wouldn't stop me from getting married (minus the being given away part), with a white gown and all.

Book Description
The heroine of Always the Bridesmaid finally gets the starring role.
Cate couldn't wait for her own wedding so she could do it right, after all she'd learned from the mistakes her friends made before her. And Ethan was the perfect husband-to-be. If only something, anything, else was perfect.
First her engagement ring disappears. Then Ethan's ex-girlfriend shows up-and keeps showing up. Cate's mother has a stranglehold on the planning, and Ethan's meddling cousin is making Cate regret inviting her to join the wedding party. Cate wants to marry her one true love. And she doesn't want to turn into bridezilla. But her special day is making her want to run the other way.
Customer Reviews:
Loved it!.......2007-08-13
I agree the missing words and other errors were annoying, but I still loved this book. The main characters are all likeable, and it was a book I couldn't put down. I enjoyed Always the Bridesmaid too and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
Wedding day bliss........2007-05-03
I'm not normally a fan of wedding type chick lit, but thought I'd try it anyways. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It started out slow and a bit confusing because I hadn't read about the characters in the first novel 'Always the Bridesmaid'. Once I got into it, I really loved it. Cate and Ethan are a cute couple and are wonderfully written characters. All the families and friends coming together in this were great as well.
Now, I'm really excited to read the next book 'First Comes Love' that will be released soon. Whitney Lyles is a new favorite author of mine!
Entertaining follow up to "Always a Bridesmaid".......2007-01-17
Cate Padgett has been dating Ethan for a couple years and after finding a brochure from a jewelry store, is convinced he will pop the question. Maybe even on their upcoming trip to Cancun for a friend's wedding. What Cate does not count on is the appearance of Janet, the gal who broke Ethan's heart years ago, and it appears she wants back in his good graces. Instead of the romantic proposal she was hoping for, Cate spends the better part of the weekend ill in the hotel room.
Back in San Diego, Ethan proposes by placing the ring around her cat's collar, only to have the cat and ring disappear. Add to that the fact that Janet has relocated from San Francisco and seems to find all kinds of reasons to pop by the house that Cate and Ethan just purchased, while Ethan remains clueless as to her motivations. As Cate struggles to put together the perfect wedding, appease her mother who is against her and Ethan living in sin to not boycott her wedding, and deal with Ethan's cousin who manages to be the bridesmaid from hell, Cate finds herself questioning if she and Ethan are meant to be together.
Fans of Lyle's "Always a Bridesmaid" will enjoy the chance to see perennial bridesmaid Cate walk down the aisle while trying to avoid becoming an obnoxious bridezilla. Quirky secondary characters and realistic witty dialogue keep the story fresh and entertaining.
Love It - Hilarious!.......2007-01-02
Whitney Lyles is a new author to me. So far, I love both of her books - Always the Bridemaid and now this one.
Granted, there are some spelling errors in the book that I think the editor should pay more attention to.
Cate is funny and as crazy as lot of bride-to-be are, however, she is not completely Bridezilla. Ethan is such a sweet, good guy and can be clueless at time.
I definitely will watch out for this author in the future.
TERRIBLE.......2006-09-19
This book is by far the worst 'trashy' novel I've ever read. There are numerous spelling errors and grammatical errors it was ridiculous. Don't waste your money. This book was given to me and I will use it to start a fire rather than pass it on.

A Fairly Good book.......2003-02-01
A fairly interesting book with nice photographs...not too much elaboration on the dolls themselves including their collectability and prices...this would have been more helpful. Other than that, it's a fairly good book.
A special treat for brides and doll lovers.......2002-10-09
Ms Fecher has written a beautiful book for anyone interested in the art of the doll and doll collecting. That it is all about bride dolls is a special bonus for brides and brides-to-be. I love browsing its pages of beautiful pictures and interesting text. The real life brides are particularly interesting. A wonderful gift for a bridal shower or a Christmas gift for the doll lover. Guys, buy this for Valentine's day if you are planning to pop the question. It will be a great ice breaker!
Beautiful collection of Bridal dolls and history.......2001-08-31
Louise Fecher, one of the most knowledgeable doll writers today, has written an absolutely stunning visual history of contemporary bride dolls. The photographs, both color and black and white, are wonderful and the research involved in this work is always fascinating and entertaining. It's wonderful to see more than a dozen one-of-a-kind bridal dolls created specifically for this book by some of the most well-known artists today. Anyone looking for a unique and beautiful gift for a bride-to-be or the collector who appreciates fine doll creations will absolutely love this book.

Warm, humorous, and delightful.......2001-01-06
Nikki Benjamin wraps up the Here Comes the Bride series with this heart warming tale in EXPECTANT BRIDE-TO-BE.
Abby Summers returns to her hometown to spend Christmas with her mother and grandparents. Amazingly, her mother actually stuck around until the afternoon of Christmas day, until her customary restlessness sent her off in quest of greener pastures. Unfortunately, this time Larissa got in the car with the wrong man, and an accident claimed her life. Following the funeral, Abby found herself at the park, contemplating her mother's wild life choices. There she encounters her childhood sweetheart, Jack Randall.
Jack had been the star quarterback of the high school football team and son of the wealthy Randall family. Four years after the death of his wife, he finds himself in the park reflecting on his looses. But those looses are at last put aside when he sees Abby.
Jack later attempts to make things right lead to a "pretend" engagement and the opening of hearts in this delightful romance. EXPECTANT BRIDE-TO-BE ties together all the loose ends of the previous two novels, yet it stands alone as an excellent read. Warm, humorous, and delightful, I highly recommend it!
Expectant Bride-To-Be.......2000-12-07
This being the third book of the "Here Come the Brides"series, I feal they saved the best for last. I enjoyed the two pevious books, and they set-up the story for the last. You must read the first two to really enjoy the last. Although Sarah (Millonaire Takes A Bride) and Jesse(The Bridal Quest) had their share of problems growing up, Abby has had the most to deal with, and still come out on top. I think you will agree with me that, of the 3, Abby deserves to be happy. This series is worth your time, just have a box of tissues handy, for the sad times and the ones where you will laugh yourself silly.You won"t be disapointed!
