Description: Three months has pass since the beautiful Aoi went away back to her home to get things setThree months has pass since the beautiful Aoi went away back to her home to get things set up so both Kaoru and her could live together in harmony. The second when she arrived, things feel "normal" again for Kaoru and when they arrived back to his apartment they had the shock of his life. He was robbed! Well actually, no. Turned out Miyabi-san moved all of his things to their new home.

Miyabi-san would be patroning their (well Kaoru's especially) every move and she eye his every mistakes for the chance to him lectures. There's a couple of new characters in this volume who join in living with them, Tina (an American girl with a perverted sense of humor) and Taeko (Kaoru's geeky friend who cleans the house on hire by Miyabi-san - after she got herself fired from the other job)

Kaoru and Aoi gets to know each other more and the attraction between them are obvious - other than the obvious illustration of adult humor portray. but of course living with company means, people barging into the room when they were just getting into the moment.

This volume is full with beautiful artwork drawings equip with great adult humor dialog and adult scenes. Great plot and awesome read. I've really enjoyed this one....

The story is about a Ginger and Pickles (hence the title), a cat and a dog who run a dry good store. They have great services and great sales but too great that they actually let their customers goes on credit till their business just went bankcrupt because nobody actually pays for their goods when they buys them. Eventually, their store reopens, bringing greater profits.

This book has wonderful illustrations for the kids to enjoy. But I must admit, I don't really quite enjoy this book, and just reading it through to check it out. But of course, I can't speak for others. ...

Description: started on 18/09/2006

This is a "journalistic" form of a novel, writtenstarted on 18/09/2006

This is a "journalistic" form of a novel, written by it's "owner", 16 year old Jessica Darling, who is coping the new year with the her bestfriend, Hope Weaver, moving away from Pineville, New Jersey, only to be stuck with the Clueless Crew (I'm not kidding), her obsessing about track sports Dad, her mother who's into her sister's wedding, her ex-boyfriend, Scott who either wants to get back to her or just friends, her non existant lover, then none the expected least; there's Marcus "Krispy Kreme" Flutie. To add it up, none of her friends understands her and of course she couldn't stand ay of them but have no choice but bear it all. But in this lot of mess Marcus suddenly came out from the background and actually, much to her messed-up state, talk to her.

Jessica Darling a character any girls could relate to and of course this could be a guide for the boys to venture into the minds of most "sane" girls. Her problems and her thoughts, written in this novel in a "journalistic" form, would make you sit down and just read it through until you're reached the last page. That is how good of a page turner this book is.

Don't let the title and front cover throw you off, like it did me. It's a fun book and a page turner. Jessica would pull you into her thoughts and the plots are easily to....

Description: I must admit, the reason why I found myself being attracted to this book was the illustrationI must admit, the reason why I found myself being attracted to this book was the illustration on the front cover. Who wouldn’t be curious about somebody carrying a dressed pig?

The story is about two witches, Dora and Heckie, who happened to be bestfriends since they attended the school of magic, only to fall out over a pair of identical hats, (which are made from real live snakes). Nevertheless, both of these witches continue trying to go good in the world by punishing bad people. The plots are fast moving but leaning more to the adventures of Heckie, who has this wonderful dragworm as a familiar and young children as friends, one particularly she loved dearly as he was her very own son.

As much as the characters grabbed you in their fast moving plots, I rather find it pretty short. The last plot was kind of catchy and full of suspense, since it involved a man named Lionel Knacksap, who exploited Heckie into doing whatever he wanted her to do, you would pretty much would like to read the ending for this particular plot. However, I pretty much enjoy the book as something to past the time with.
