Kaye books and told me to start with Shadow of the Moon. From then on I went to her when I needed to read something different or really good and so far all her recommendations have been brilliant. She gave it to me and assured me that I would love it. She came by me and looked at her books and produced a copy of Wish you Well by David Baldacci. I told her that I finished my book and don’t know what to read next. ![]() She comes in and asks me what I am I doing. I remember the first time she recommended one of her books- I was looking at her bookshelf scanning the thousand titles. Once in awhile I will ask mum what should I read next as she always has a great taste in books. ![]()

Instead of working hard for it, he devised ways to let money work for him. While the first dad believed that the root of all evil is the love of money, the second claimed that the root of all evil is, in fact, lack of money – so he strived to earn as much as possible. The other dad never even finished eighth grade. The first one was highly educated and extremely intelligent, earning a doctorate at two prestigious universities while on full financial scholarships. By his own admission, American businessman Robert Toru Kiyosaki had two dads: a poor one and a rich one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sammy Keyes and the Runaway Elf, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino, Knopf (New York, NY), 1999.
