Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality: A New Clinical Approach
Heh, is there one for female homosexuality, too? And for heterosexuality? I mean, I struggled with my heterosexuality for about three years, then found the perfect solution and started to feel attracted to women as well.Gah.
Straight to Jesus: Sexual and Christian Conversions in the Ex-Gay Movement
I'm crying a little, and feel like dying on the inside. Is this simply about people who were gay and then tried not to be? Or people who simply explored their sexuality? Or is it one of those "books" written by a homophobe? Alas, I am too frustrated to think about this.
Birth Control is Sinful in the Christian Marriages and also Robbing God of Priesthood Children!!
Heh. Future Patricia, don't think about how there was a person who actually wrote this. That there might have been a person who read it and believed everything. Just don't think about it or else you might commit suicide.Sincerely,Patricia
Healing Homosexuality: Case Stories of Reparative Therapy
The thing I loved about this book was how I didn't read it.
Broken Image, The: Restoring Personal Wholeness through Healing Prayer
Healing Homosexuality deserves 5 stars for pointing out why people kill themselves everyday. It also deserves a painful death.
A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality
I'm not sure yet if I should read this book to be able to say why it sucks or if pointing out that the title is "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality" does the job. I mean, for all I know it could be a joke, right? Please, God, let it be a joke.
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)
I've read some negative reviews the past hour. I don't disagree with what some of them are saying. I even have to agree sometimes. But I still can't give the series less than 5 stars. (They aren't bad anyway, so even if people don't associate the following things with them, I don't see how less than 3.5/4 stars is possible..)Why? Because it's comforting. Harry Potter is a part of me growing up. I've learned how to deal with things while I read the novels. Some streets in my hometown remind me of passages of Harry Potter, because I listened to the audiobook while I walked them. I cried my eyes out everytime someone died, I dealt with Harry's problems and it was so much safer for me, because it was just fiction. Does it make sense? His problems felt real, but at no point did I feel weak or as if I couldn't manage them. Harry Potter might not be a masterpiece of literature, but these books stand for something. There was no big shipping, no Team Harry or Ron or Malfoy. Somehow, the books are pure to me and remind me of times when I felt like that, too. : )And I think in twenty years I will still take the time to listen to Rufus Beck reading them and pronouncing the name 'Severus' wrong.

The Scorpio Races
Whereas I was a very naive reader when I started Shiver, not expecting it to captivate me that much and certainly not expecting to be so.. desperate to read the sequels, I'm now much wiser and will act as if my reluctance to read The Scorpio Races is solely based on the fact that I don't want to wait for the second installment, not my fear of being disappointed. Because, really, no one knows that I often find myself hesitating to read books by authors whose books I've enjoyed in the past, or that with Maggie Stiefvater it's even more so the case, because it was the writingstyle and the circumstances of the people's relationships that made me finish the first two books and the exceptionally well-written story of Sam and his 'father' that broke my heart, not the love-story itself..Yes, children, that is the honest truth. (And yep, that was a tautology, plus might also negate the actual meaning by stating the same fact twice..)
Her Sexiest Mistake (Signet Eclipse)
I think I recently saw this one in the library, but I'm not entirely sure.
Insel des Sturms: Roman (German Edition)
Okay. If you see this, please click on "read this review" link so you'll see what I'm talking about when I say:I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the cover and read the title in the library. In German it says: "Island of storm" or "Isle of the storm" or something like this. And what did the publisher put on the cover? A garden. Sunshine, a sweet fence, some pink.. Yes. Very stormy. Indeed.I know, German covers most of the times are.. not good. They might be beautiful but they don't fit. PNR covers might yet be the worst. The models don't look like the heroes/heroines at all and they also all look alike.. Anyway:Now, I need to read this book just to get to laugh more about it but after Mac, Emma, Laurel and Parker (Vision in White, Happy Ever After etc.) I don't dare to touch another Roberts book.. They were so sweet and lovely and... I accidently wrote "they were so weed" which might explain it, too. I didn't think the books were amazing, but the characters were very easy to like. Even Laurel.

Blüte der Tage
One review said that next to the ghosty atmosphere and romance, this novel also contains lots of gardening tips. You see, I don't do flowers. I don't do nature. I like green. As.. maybe as wallpaper. Yes. I like green pullovers when children wear them. A friend of mine has a green bird, very sweet thing. I like all of these things. But I don't do gardens. For f- sake, I'm probably the only one (next to the one husband of Bree in Desperate Housewives) who murdered a cactus. In cold blood, I might add. I let the cactus die of thirst.I'm a cruel, evil person and I get crazy over people who buy flowers and act as if they like them. No, you don't like flowers. You just killed them! Now, they stand in your living room and die! It's like.. having a cat but eating chicken nuggets. At least, I admit that I'm a cactus-murderer. Except that maybe if it's just about gardening.. which isn't exactly flower-murdering, it might not annoy me as much? Although, I also get crazy over people who talk about flowers.. Like I do right now.. Um..Wow.. this was such a deep, philosophical discussion. I'm amazed by my own brilliance and reflectiveness. Update:I now found the perfect example for my problem with flowers and gardens and where it comes from.You see, when I was younger, 6 years or so, everyone at school started watching Pokémon. I liked it too and I bullied my mom into buying me a Gameboy Color. (She eventuelly bought herself one too and played Pokémon as well, by the way)Now, the first time I played, I chose Charmander. I instantly didn't want Bulbasaur, because.. well I didn't think I'd be able to win with a green something. But back then, it was just a feeling. Later, when I was in Celadon City (タマムシシティ or Prismania City) and had this big face-off with Erica, she seriously owned me. That b- killed me with her little stinky, green pokemon and then, selfrightously SMILED at me as if it was the best day ever. Can you imagine how I felt back then? I was so pissed off. So, now you know it. Dear reader, it was a traumatic experience, but I'm almost sure that no one else'll feel like that and you should definitely give books with flowers in them at least a try, although I won't take it against you if you wouldn't, now that you've heard this dramatic, desperate story of innocent longing, humiliation and loss.
Breaking Beautiful
Dear Patricia,if you're reading this it means you're giving into your narcissistic urges and read your own reviews. That is okay, although I advice you to go to a therapist. Now. Still here? Well then: You want to read this book. It's not just one you added, but one you want to read, because it's much suspense, and romance, and about a girl that can't remember how her boyfriend died. (Btw, you wanted to read Pregnasia!)And she was actually in an abusive relationship with him, and now there is someone else and maybe they killed him! Or maybe not. I don't know what the blurb is trying to imply here, but you want to read it and you like the shoes on the cover.Sincerely,Patricia
