I know they can join minds at intimate times too. I'm looking for 2 books I read in prison. The groom gets all the women of the town to make her a wedging quilt from odd pieces of cloth.

How to Find That Book You've Spent Years Looking For

Anyone knows these books. I can't remember the names or author. I remember reading a book about a girl who lives in a "perfect world" where the government decides everything for you. The whole place is surrounded by wall panels, in a globe shape. Her job is basically sitting in a chair and clicking any panel that flickers. One day she sees a panel flicker a bit outside of her designated zone, but when she checks it out something happens and she gets a warning. If you get 3 warnings, you are kicked out of the place. Her mother was kicked out of the place a long time ago.

She remember that she got one strike because she was on the swings and went too high. The flickering panel scenario gives her 2 warnings in total.

Looking for a book that I read in my sophomore or Jr year of high school. All I can remember is it started in a village that was shot down, but a few escaped including this boy.

Actually he became the administrator of the hospital and his book is a series of stories about all of that. He tells us about one client whom rallied in the face of impossible odds again and again and again to reach adulthood. He spoke about having lifelong relationships with his very injured patients.

He spoke about fund raising. All the special needs a hospital like his had and how he had to go about getting those needs met. He spoke about being mentored by the previous Administrator not really knowing what he was walking into. He spoke about it being a calling not a job. At the end of the book was a chapter advising parents on what, where and how to get what they needed for their children should the need arise. An awesome book I lent to my client that was not returned that I need to repurchase so I once again have it in my library.

Can any of you out there help me locate this amazing book? I would be so appreciative. I do not know the name of the author, title or publisher. I am so sorry. It is poignant and contains a series of stories of different situations and miraculous clients who survived insurmountable odds. He spoke about seeing every client holistically by looking ahead to where that client might be at age 18 or 25 or He spoke about having a lifelong relationship with each client that stepped through their doors. He spoke about one client who had horrific medical issues which required inventive surgical interventions.

He spoke about his fundraising efforts. About one donor whose child he had helped and how he gave back to the hospital. He spoke about the hospital never having enough funds for what they needed. He spoke about the previous administrator being his mentor. I lent this book to one of my clients and never got it back. I so appreciate your help in aiding me to find this information out.

They took care of his food, water and grooming, all in secret from her family. At the end of the story the mystery is solved as to why this beautiful creature was left. This may have been written in the late 60's. I cannot recall purchasing thru the schools scholastic program, although that is a possibility too. So it could have been written in the 70's as well.

After awhile, any Apocalyptic books will have a similar twist to it, either it's the zombies or some sort of sickness that ends the world.

But H2O sounded promising. The deadly rain, the water all around people has some sort of bacteria that eats the people alive, turning it into intense and slow death. With such summary, I was excited to read it because it was something new.

It started out great, with a funny narrator in a "diary" form of Ruby. She was witty and funny and I really thought that After awhile, any Apocalyptic books will have a similar twist to it, either it's the zombies or some sort of sickness that ends the world. She was witty and funny and I really thought that I was going to like her. Plus there was actually an explanation of why the rain might have turned deadly umm meteor?

I can't even grasp why she survived until the end of the book. Umm water is boring? Yeah okay sweetie, you're boring. It was too awful to think about Blah, killit Sadly, I can come up with more examples about how immature and absolutely dumb Ruby is.

Get A Copy

The whole reason why my rating is so low is simply because of her. This book was supposed to be spectacular! It's an apocalyptic world with killer rain! How could you go wrong with that! Obviously a lot because I seriously had to force myself to finish the book, and even then I was really only skimming the last half. What a waste of a perfectly good book cover The plot and ending isn't difficult to guess; I mean, you already know everyone is going to die, so there's no real mystery to it. Which kind of sucks about the premise because there isn't much to write about. The main character, Ruby, made me want to give her some serious side eye action-- she was just too superficial.

I'm still trying to figure out why she is worried about her hair and makeup? Or why she is concerned about cute guys or her female competition? Honey, you have much bigger problems to worry about like, oh I don't know, the people rapidly dying around you! I would be more worried about the safety of my loved ones and how I'm going to survive without water, but hey, that's just me. Speaking of which, how would one prepare for an apocalypse involving killer rain?

Besides, there wont be any of this happening.. While reading this book, I was insanely thirsty: I downed a whole bottle of Arizona Green Tea in two minutes! Anyways, This book is nothing to write home about, unless you see killer rain happening anytime soon-- which in that case, let me know.

Editorial Reviews

Otherwise, this book is a massive snoozefest. View all 6 comments. For maximum scare factor, be sure to read it during a rainstorm, as I accidentally did. Ruby, the main character, is pretty much a mean girl everyone knew in high school. She just turned fifteen and from her own story she was never overly mature for her age.

I appreciate the author keeping it real in that way. She does have some admirable qualities, and she also realizes some mistakes she has made along the way. Along with Ruby, there are many intriguing characters met along the way. As it is a disaster situation, most of them are not in the story for long, but I believe that is the way things would be in such a situation.

Not every story will get a resolution. I absolutely loved the premise of the killer rain. The panic and breakdown in society from the fear of the environment and limited supply of water is a terrifying thought, and the author did an excellent job of writing that. She also did a good job of invoking the pain and sadness of so much loss of life, which is the basis of my one complaint. There is one chapter that is totally unnecessary and what I would call emotional blackmail.

Contriving situations to evoke an emotional response from the reader is one of my pet peeves, as it seems there is no trust put in the reader to pick up all of the emotions already present. I would have dropped it an entire star had I not loved the rest of the book so much, but I still feel the need to point that out here. This review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Dec 23, Justine rated it liked it Shelves: I thought the voice of the protagonist was pretty authentic - this could be a plus or a minus for you depending on how you feel about privileged middle-class teen girls. Even though Ruby was doing some rather silly things, like looting for make-up and impractical clothes as opposed to getting serious about survival, I thought that it was actually pretty realistic. I can see a fifteen yea 3. I can see a fifteen year old girl acting this way quite easily.

Ruby isn't the most likeable of characters, but I enjoyed seeing her progression in the story and picked up the concluding book, The Storm almost immediately upon finishing this one.

She seemed to care more about her make-up and the colour of her hair than she did about checking whether it was raining killer-rain before stepping out of the door.

Her priorities just seemed to be all wrong and as a protagonist she was infuriating to read about. The plot itself, the killer rain, was definitely an interesting premise for a novel, but I was disappointed with the end of the book because nothing was resolved. I have to say, overall I did like reading this novel and it was enjoyable to a point.

It was fast-paced but there were just so many irritating things about the protagonist and the plot itself for me to be able to recommend this book to anyone. Obviously this is just my opinion and there are people who love this book but personally, I just found too many things that annoyed me. Aug 22, Dystopian rated it it was ok Shelves: I'm so sick of almost every single YA book is the first in a series.

So what it means is that you read a bunch of running around crap and then it cuts off abruptly. Jul 09, Sarah Churchill rated it liked it Shelves: I loved the concept, got immersed in the world and felt the dehydration almost physically. Some nice twists, most not predicted by moi.

BUT, I wanted to finish off the main character myself. She does remember I loved the concept, got immersed in the world and felt the dehydration almost physically. She does remember to dye her hair and turn herself orange with fake tan though, so at least she'll be a well groomed corpse. Gerade so noch 3 Sterne, weil die Story echt gut war. If this was a really good story, like the kind you read for fun, it would have such a great beginning.

Ruby is a teenager, living out her life like any teenager — concerned for her next party, her crush, angry at her parents. Where will she get water? How will she survive the killer rain? Where is her family? Can she get back to them? In general, I am not the kind of reviewer to rant.

I like to present my opinions in a calm, presentable manner. Mostly, I found the book enjoyable. The plotline seemed stable and unique, there was an interesting love interest, and it was paced well. But I hated the main character. I hated her so, so much. Honestly, my emotions toward her the whole book were either humor at her stupidity or anger at her inability to be a good human being.

And her point of view was so immature. Actual quote from the book: It was very hard for me to go into the book respecting the story when the main character was such a horrible girl. I tried, I really did, but my feelings around the book began to crumble as she became more and more intolerable. Ruby was to H2O as the iceberg was to the titanic. The first glimpses of her lack of a filter are shown with her stepfather. In the book, she uses little butterflies to represent curses.

Also, when she first meets Darius, a boy that is kind of nerdy but really helpful and kind, she is a jerk to him. Actually, her jerkiness to Darius extends over a long period than when she first meets him. This one is about her stupidity. She seems to have the IQ of a snail. For example, they just found out that there is something in the rain, something fatal, and one drop can kill you. Her boyfriend runs out into the rain to get his MP3 player.

Of all things, an MP3 player. Then he begins to deteriorate in front of her, blood running down his face. No, her cell phone is number one. She puts a bad face to teenage girls everywhere. When she could be rooting the stores for clean water, food, anything useful, she heads straight towards the makeup. But at the same time, a good chunk of this book was her choosing whether to get plum lipstick or orange lipstick and taking both because she can. Yeah, I might have gotten pretty riled up with the snarkiness but I have been waiting to rant this review since I started this book.

The last line was something about her cell phone. I looked over my shoulder at the two of them, just standing there. Charitable and also a sign of how serious the situation was: Sourcebooks Fire provided me with a copy of H2O. Jan 01, Lucy Powrie rated it it was amazing Shelves: One drop can, and will, kill you. The Rain reads like a totally crazy but completely realistic inner monologue from a protagonist who is the embodiment of annoying, teenage girls everywhere.

I warmed up to Ruby instantly, seeing myself in her at many times during the novel. I know I would have reacted just as she did, and she had so much depth; it was hard not to love her and want to be her best friend. There was something so familiar about the way the novel was written that instantly hooked me. Although not the easiest subject to read about, I wanted to read more and more and more. The book is set in South West England and it was obvious that Bergin knew every single detail about the places she was writing about.

I loved spotting locations I knew about! Oct 04, Erikka rated it did not like it Shelves: I couldn't handle this book "H2O" or "The Rain" or whatever it's called.

How to Find That Book You've Spent Years Looking For

The writing was sloppy and messy and I quote: The road was really busy. Off the top of my head: I willed the creeping traffic to move faster, but to no avail. The main character was an absolutely horrid human being. The focus of the MC was so far off what it should be that I spent the whole 50 pages I finished wanting to smack her.

This is NOT what teens would be doing in this situation. I work with teens--even the most shallow among them wouldn't focus more on boys and prettiness than people's faces being melted off by rain. I'm offended for my students. I don't want them to read this. Apologies to netgalley for not being able to stomach this for a single page more. Thank you for the arc! Probably they'd want to make it into a movie-it'd be that good.

I eagerly turned the page, only to find within the first few pages, there's VERY inappropriate kissing, talk of drugs, alcohol, cussing and partying. Don't get this one. Feb 09, Marcia rated it really liked it Shelves: Realistisch post-apocalyptisch verhaal dat me angstig naar de regen en zelfs het water uit de kraan deed kijken.

Ik zat meteen helemaal in het verhaal. Leuk vond ik ook dat het verhaal, ondanks de sombere toekomstvisie, een hoop humor bevatte. Ik ga meteen boek twee bestellen! Mijn complete recensie lees je op Oog op de Toekomst. Oh, so I'll be honest here. I totally judged the book by the cover on this one. But could you blame me?

It just looks so cool.
