This fourth book in the Danforth Saga brings Bob Danforth out of retirement to hunt down lone wolf terrorists hell bent on destroying America’s oil infrastructure. Badal weaves just enough technology into his story to wow even the most a-technical reader.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">“The Lone Wolf Agenda” pairs Danforth with his son Michael, a senior DELTA Force officer, as they combat an OPEC-supported terrorist group allied with a Mexican drug cartel. This story is an epic adventure that will chill readers as they discover that nothing, no matter how diabolical, is impossible. </span></span></span><br />

<u><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">About the Book:</span></b></u><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span><br /><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Almost from age one, Tiara has been a star of the
American Child Beauty Circuit. When she grows too old to win anymore, her
mother leaves </span>Texas<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and returns to </span>Vancouver<span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Tiara is
twelve years old, she refuses to attend school or interact with other children,
becoming more and more reclusive. Her relationship with her mother deteriorates
and they become estranged.<br /><br />One morning, three years later, Tiara’s mother is
shocked to find her daughter the subject of a big story on the morning news. A
violent assault has just occurred at a local coffee shop and it seems Tiara is
the perpetrator. The brutal and seemingly unprovoked assault lands her in the
Burnaby Secure Youth Centre for a court ordered psychological assessment.<br /><br />When the police investigate the incident they begin to
slowly unravel her confused and dark childhood. They discover her history as a
child beauty queen star, managed by her mother and aunt while living in </span>Texas<span style="font-size: 11pt;">. It also becomes
increasingly apparent that explicit photos of Tiara were taken and posted to
many internet sites The photos seem to capture Tiara over many years and lead
the detectives to wonder whether she is the victim rather than the perpetrator.<br /><br />
Tiara herself cannot provide any insight. She has
buried the memories of her childhood deep in her sub-consciousness, and even if
she could remember, she is deeply traumatized and unresponsive. Any attempts by
the authorities to probe result in more withdrawal and unexplained expressions
of grief and anger.<br /><br />Carefully guided by the adolescent forensic
psychiatrist in charge at the Secure Youth Centre, she begins to write a
journal, anchoring her memories on her birthdays as she remembers them. At the
same time, her mother tries to explain the past from her own perspective,
insisting she only wanted the best for her daughter and refusing to acknowledge
any responsibility at all for what Tiara has experienced. It becomes very
obvious that Tiara has been greatly damaged by her childhood.<br /><br />Slowly the two story-lines merge until they arrive at
the moment when mother and daughter recall the trauma that eventually leads to
the attack. Tiara begins to understand the horrific nature of her abnormal
childhood. She allows the psychiatrist to read the notes in her journal,
subconsciously guiding him toward the truth.<br /><br />But the truth is not clear cut. Tiara is guilty of
aggravated assault. Even the detectives can't find motive to explain her
action, which means the judicial system has no choice but to keep her locked up
as a dangerous juvenile criminal. Tiara remembers much of her past but she has
no idea why she stabbed a strange woman in a coffee shop. Her mental isolation
doesn't allow her to confront this important question. Only the psychiatrist,
with the assistance of the detectives who keep digging in the past, might be
able to unlock the secret buried in her soul.<br /><br />And they are successful, but in a way they never
expected. When Tia remembers all that had happened and what had motivated her
to attack another human being, the final answer, the solution to the puzzle,
surprises them all.</span></span><br />

<u><b><span style="color: magenta;">My Review: </span></b></u><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"> Reading the book I had a ball of emotions but never the less I liked the book and it was an on the edge of your seat type of read. I can't really go into much without giving the book itself and plot away but I enjoyed the always guessing of which way the book was going to go. I love thrillers to begin with and when I got the chance to read this book I jumped on it! It may be a trigger to some people who may have gone through sexual assaults of their own so I just want to put that out there. I highly enjoyed the book though and give it 4 penguins! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-53317840352259334622013-03-20T08:56:00.001-07:002013-03-20T09:02:27.917-07:00A Spoonful of Sugar <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">About The Book: </span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span id="freeText8321141450312847905">From Britain's beloved oldest living nanny comes a charming and uplifting memoir of a real-life Mary Poppins.<br /><br />In
her extraordinary memoir, Brenda Ashford shares her endearing and
amusing experiences as a British nanny caring for generations of
children over the past sixty-two years.<br /><br />Brenda's lifelong love
for children began the minute she laid eyes on her baby brother, David.
As a teenager, she applied to London's Norland College, famous for
producing top-class nannies, and, after a grueling interview, she was
accepted on scholarship. It was a radical change from her idyllic
country life in the village of Surrey. The training was rigorous and
discipline strictly enforced, as Brenda and her classmates scrambled to
pass inspections on everything from morality and neatness to needlework
and pram pushing. Meanwhile, World War II began, and Brenda's heart was
broken twice. She vowed never to fall for a man again and devoted her
life to caring for other people's children, never having any of her own.<br /><br />Brenda's
memoir offers readers an enticing glimpse into the joys, frustrations,
adventures, and mishaps of children of all ages and situations. She
peppers her story with delightful bits of cultural history and timeless
life lessons. A Spoonful of Sugar is an irresistible Mary Poppins story
that will touch your heart and remind you of what is truly important in
life</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> <b><u>My Review </u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I loved reading this book just simply to look into someone else's life. I loved how it had the schedules of her days along with having her tell her story. I loved how it was kinda like a parenting lesson while reading at least to me. If you like getting a glimpse into someone else's life who also happens to be a British nanny(which is seriously what interested me) then you will want to read this book! I had always dreamed of being a British nanny and since I couldn't I highly enjoyed getting to see into the life of one. I give this book 4 penguins. </span><br />

I don't know where to begin with this book, I had such a mix of emotions the whole time I was reading it. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I sighed, I got mad, I wished that something happened. This book had me wrapped up into it like it was a family member telling me the story. I fell in love with the characters and related to them. I admired them and learned from them. Mama more so out of any of them. I tell myself sometimes when I get done reading a book that it is my new favorite but I had never read this book. I don't think another book is going to top this one on my list for a long time. I think everyone should read this book and let it wrap you up in it's story like it did to me. The author did an amazing job with describing scenes, I felt like I was really there with the characters. I was honestly sad to finish the book and sad to see it end but I was happy with how everyone's life turned out and how they grew up right before me through the whole book. I want to keep talking about this book but to do so would give away the story and I don't want to ruin any of the magic for anyone else so with that being said I give this book 5 penguins only because I can't go higher! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u><span style="color: #e69138;">About The Book </span></u></b><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">When Reporter Cheyenne Gentry gets an Instant Message she tries to
ignore it, but the sender wants her to know he murdered someone tonight.
Cheyenne thinks it’s a hoax but finds out it’s not. Then the killer
tells her he wants her to write his story. Cheyenne wants nothing to do
with the story or the killer but the killer won’t let her refuse his
request. Will he let her live long enough to find him or will she become
another chapter to his story?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> My Review</span></b></u><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">This was good read overall. I had a hard time connecting with some of the characters but other then that I enjoyed reading the book. I was eager to find out who the IM's where from and was able to keep a steady pace reading the whole time. I would say over all I give this book 4 out of 5 Penguins! I am looking forward to more work from this author. </span><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Ilsa, you know nothing of soldiers like me, but you soon will,” he
taunted her, as he casually tossed the Luger aside. With another quick
move, he grabbed her shoulders and threw her onto the floor, hard, as if
she were a stuffed doll. He jumped on top, digging a knee into her
stomach and knocking the wind out of her. Then he straddled her and
said, “In Russia, when we found a surly bitch like you, this usually did
the trick. It was strange how we always found them a bit more polite
afterwards … sometimes even appreciative.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #ffd966; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;">
She tried to shove
him away, but he grabbed her sweater and ripped it open, laughing as he
looked down at her small, bare breasts. She reached up and scratched at
his cheeks with her fingernails, gouging them like an angry cat and
drawing blood. He growled and slapped her across the face again. She
screamed in pain, but he slapped her repeatedly, punishing her with each
blow until she had to cover her head with her arms. His assault came so
fast that everything spun around inside her head. She heard him
laughing, but she was helpless to stop him. His hands dropped to her
breasts. He grabbed them, rubbing hard and pinching both nipples. She
screamed again and shook her head.</div>
<div style="color: #ffd966; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;">
“If you aren’t
nice to me,” he warned sarcastically, “I’ll hurt you a lot worse than
that before I’m finished; and believe me, I know how to hurt a woman.”</div>
<div style="color: #ffd966; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;">
His powerful hand
grabbed the waistband of her slacks and she felt them rip. Desperately,
she turned her head and saw the Luger lying on the bare concrete floor
near the wall. She stretched her hand as far as it would reach and was
able to wrap her fingers around the barrel. She swung it at him,
clubbing him across the forehead with all her strength.</div>
<div style="color: #ffd966; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;">
He toppled off to
one side, but she kept the rain of blows coming as he tried to block
them and right himself. “You little bitch,” he swore, finally grabbing
her arm and twisting her wrist backward until the sharp pain made her
drop the gun. It was hopeless. She watched his eyes as he ran his free
hand across his forehead, pausing to look at the blood, then holding his
fingers in front of her eyes so she could see. “You’ll pay dearly for
this,” he whispered angrily, as he ripped her slacks open and began to
unfasten his belt.</div>
<div style="color: #ffd966; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;">
She screamed again
as she heard him say, “Oh, yes, you will pay dearly …” but before he
could finish the sentence or carry out his threat, his head suddenly
snapped to the left with a violent jerk.</div>

<div style="color: #bf9000;">
Richard Thomson was already having a very bad day when someone left a corpse lying on the rear steps of his hotel. Its head had been lopped off like a ripe melon and had been posed so it could look back down at its own body. Thomson is a burned-out CIA Agent and the body belongs to Mahmoud Yussuf, a fat, petty thief who tried to sell him photographs of a long-abandoned RAF base in the Egyptian desert. What the photos have to do with a dead Israeli Mossad agent, Nazi rocket scientists, the fanatical Moslem Brotherhood, and two missing Egyptian tank regiments could start the next Arab-Israeli War or stop it.
Alone and on the run, no one believes Thomson’s answers -- not the CIA, the US Ambassador, Colonel Ali Rashid of Egyptian State Security, and most assuredly not Captain Hassan Saleh, Chief of the Homicide Bureau of the Cairo Police, who wants to hang Thomson, preferably around the CIA’s neck . Under pressure from within and without, the slums of Cairo are a tinder box of discontent and the first faint whiffs of a military coup against the shaky, new government of Abdel Gamal Nasser are in the air. Thompson and the young daughter of one of the German rocket scientists have five action-packed days and nights to figure it out. Tick Toc, Tick Tock! Something is about to blow up in Thomson’s face at Noon on Thursday.
Like Night of the Generals, this is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international crisis. </div>

An amoral con man, willing to stop at nothing to achieve his goals.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
And a tiny northern Maine town, isolated and vulnerable.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
Last November, Paskagankee, Maine was shaken to its core, held hostage
by a centuries-old curse, terrorized by a brutal killing spree stopped
at the last possible moment by new police chief Mike McMahon and
beautiful young patrol officer Sharon Dupont.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
Now, just as the pair - and the town - is beginning to recover, a new horror comes calling.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
Billionaire Seattle software designer Brett Parker is in Paskagankee to
check on the progress of his newly-constructed summer retreat. But he's
not the only new resident in town. Max Acton, murderous sociopath and
Arizona cult leader, has gained possession of a long-hidden sacred
Navajo artifact with the ability to reanimate the dead.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
Acton aims to use the stone in a murderous plot to kidnap Parker and
steal his revolutionary new software design developed for the U.S.
Department of Defense, selling it to the highest bidder and making
millions. He doesn't even need to get his hands dirty. All he needs is a
victim to kill . . . and reanimate . . . and force to do his bidding.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
All he needs is a revenant.</span><br style="color: blue;" />
<br style="color: blue;" /><span style="color: blue;">
And the revenant is angry. And he's deadly. And he's unstoppable. And
the town of Paskagankee will once again become a battleground between
the living and the dead . . .</span><br />

Canadian Bishop. His compound is located deep in the wilderness of
British Columbia, totally isolated from the rest of the world.<br />When

<b><u><span style="color: magenta;">My Review:</span></u></b></div>
<div style="color: lime;">
</div>
<div style="color: lime;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Even though this is a fiction book it is based on some fact. The book itself was a wonderful page turning thriller! I couldn't get enough of this book. Polygamy has always been something that has interested me and I jumped at the chance to be able to review this book. Now some people will try to say that the way it is all written in the book isn't the case anymore but that's not the truth. Some little areas still practice in this way and more people need to be aware of this and I love that this book could do just that. This is a definite must read for anyone who has even the littlest interest in the topic or for anyone who loves thrillers. I give this book </span></div>

<div style="color: lime;">
<b><u><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"></span></u></b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> This is not the first erotica/fetish book that I have read but it has been one of the best that I have read. I am looking forward to going back and reading the first one in the series. I unfortunately didn't have time to read it beforehand. It was very well written and had a wonderful story to the book which is sometimes rare in these types of books. But it all played nicely together and made the book that much more wonderful! I give this book 4 penguins! </span></div>

<b><u><span style="color: purple;">About The Book: </span></u></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
her debut psychological thriller, Pamela Crane digs into the depths of
one of the most baffling mental disorders, erotomania. In this
based-on-truth story, Crane delivers a sensitive, nimble, and
stimulating story of an aspiring screenplay writer on a passage to
reconcile her desire for love and fame at all costs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It started with a glance. And ended with a nightmare.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Small-town
girl Haley Montgomery meets two men who will change her life
forever—the handsome Marc Vincetti whom she falls head-over-heels for,
and the big-time Hollywood producer Allen Michaels who has the power to
turn her screenplay into a movie and a ticket to a better future. It
seems as though life couldn't get any better—until things take a
decidedly dark turn when Haley spots Marc with his former high school
sweetheart and Allen develops a consuming obsession with her.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As
Haley is faced with a choice between love and fame, Marc becomes the
target of a stalker and Haley's life is thrown into a tailspin. Suddenly
everything she thought she knew about Marc and Allen is completely
wrong—and Haley's life will never be the same again…</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: purple; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With
its smooth mix of suspense and romanticism, The Halo Effect recalls the
juncture where the heart and psyche meet—often not in the same plane of
reality. But it is also about an ordinary woman’s determination to
grasp love at the risk of everything. It’s a story where the worst of
villains have hearts, and self-discovery unmasks the dark side within
all of us with the hope it will lead us to live for something beyond
ourselves.</span></div>

<u>Excerpt </u></h1>
<div style="line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Outside the Moulin Rouge, the men said goodnight and dispersed. Alex
paced, scanning the giant posters advertising upcoming performances,
waiting impatiently until Gigi appeared. “My place or yours?” she
asked.</span></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Yours,” he replied, thinking of the thin walls and the
three-minute timer on the water and electricity in his <i>auberge</i>.</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
In the taxi, Gigi's hands were all over Alex. “I love your body,
Alex. You are such a beautiful young American.”</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Alex looked at Gigi appreciatively. “You're not bad yourself,” he
started to say, but his words were cut short by Gigi's mouth on his.</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Gigi's apartment was a shrine to sensuality. The bed was a gigantic
round creation occupying half the space of the large room, with a
panel of buttons on the side. Alex glanced at the buttons with
curiosity.</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; line-height: 0.33in; margin-top: 0.08in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Make yourself a drink,<i> mon amour</i>. I won't be long.” Gigi
disappeared behind a mirrored door. Moments later, she reappeared in

what was happening, she was extracting him from his trousers. At the
sight of his impressive erection, Gigi gasped. “You are going to
make me very happy, <i>mon amour</i>.”</div>

Alex chuckled. “The pleasure will be all mine,” he replied. He
guided Gigi to the bed and eagerly slipped off her robe. A second
later, he leaped from the bed. “God damn it! Why the fuck didn't
you tell me?”</div>

Gigi lay contrite on the disheveled bed. “But, <i>mon amour,</i>
everybody knows Gigi is short for Gilbert.” </div>

"There is something really important you need to know about me right
away. It's a secret. But I'll tell you: I only have one good memory of
my dad." So begins ten-year-old Anna's story, a story of abuse that
is heart breaking and often difficult to read. In the midst of intense
pain, though, Anna finds hope and the will to overcome through her
friendship with the mysterious storyteller Ash. An intense and
ground-breaking work on a societal and familial issue that is all to
often swept under the rug, "The Character" is a study of one remarkable
girl and her method for overcoming a life of tragedy and pain.</div>

It deserves at least 7! It was a very sad book but the writing is amazing and the way the story plays out is written so effortlessly. Tiffini has a talent for writing and I am looking forward to read her other books as well! More people need to be brought aware to child abuse and I loved that this book could do this and keep readers attentions. I highly recommend this book!!! Just because 5 is the highest that I go I give it 5 even though it deserves more. </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-68667986811520511972012-06-03T04:00:00.000-07:002012-06-03T12:09:30.837-07:00To Whom It May Concern:A Struggle To Survive<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: lime;"><u><b>About The Book:</b></u></span><br />
<div style="color: lime;">
Sometimes random acts of kindness from a stranger or even a perceived
enemy cannot only save a life, they can also teach priceless lessons
that will follow us forever. </div>
<div style="color: lime;">
Cynthia Thomas knows this well. She
spends her youth being abused by her father, something her mother allows
to happen. Always bright in school, she uses a college scholarship to
leave home, but as she matures, her adult relationships are still filled
with pain and betrayal. </div>
<div style="color: lime;">
Before it is too late, Cynthia meets
Ms. Graham, a woman who should probably hate her, but instead of hurting
her, Ms. Graham offers her a way out of her abusive existence. But will
Cynthia be able turn Ms. Graham's kindness into a better life, or will
she be forever sucked into abusive relationships, like a moth spiraling
toward a flame?</div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><u><b>My Review:</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"> This book to me was sad at the beginning. I felt for Cynthia and wished that she could be free from all that she was put through. The book did have a happy ending though which I was glad for! The book took me a little longer to read then most as I had a hard time getting through certain parts of the book. I liked the book overall though and would give this book 4 penguins! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-66151989238849825512012-06-02T04:00:00.000-07:002012-06-02T18:36:18.969-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: red;">
<span style="color: magenta;"> My kids LOVED this book! They ask me to read it to them everyday. They think that it is so funny that he just can't sit still. I asked my four year old what her favorite part of the book was and she said "His Dreams" and that she likes the book a whole lot! So in the eyes of my girls I think this book is amazing. I enjoyed reading it to them also!! I give this book (based off the girls) </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><br />
<div style="color: #351c75;">
Can a secret be so powerful that it destroys everything you know? For
Mary Jacovitch, whose family history is built on deceit and tragedy, the
answer is yes. Entrusted at age seven with her dying father’s dark
secret, as a teenager Mary seeks to escape this knowledge and her
overbearing mother through promiscuous behavior—but her actions have
serious consequences. As <i>Secrets Unfold</i> begins, Mary tries to
hide the reality of her pregnancy, but the truth inevitably is revealed.
This birth triggers a landslide of tragic events touching everyone in
her life: her brother, Steve; her mother, Jean; her adult lover, Ryan;
her own newborn son, Nickolai; and beyond. As these pressures prove too
great for Mary’s young mind and the strands of sanity unravel, it
becomes clear that, for better or for worse, no one’s life will ever be
the same again.</div>

I wish it would have gone more into details with things. It kinda just
threw you in their life's with every little info. But in all it was a
good book and the ending was a shocker and not something I was
expecting! It is a book I would like to see a sequel to to find out what
happens with the family and the baby. I give it 4 penguins.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-53504858220524666352012-06-01T04:00:00.000-07:002012-06-01T06:54:24.843-07:00Snapshots of Fictionalized Facts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #a64d79;">This is my take on different events in my life. While each of these

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>My Review: </b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> The book was very well written. It kinda confused me since the pieces of the facts where all over the place. I would have liked it better if they went in an order of some short but that probably would have not been what the author was trying for. It was a very easy and quick read and I enjoyed it besides the all over the place thing. It was very well written in grammar and errors way and I loved getting a look into her life. I give this book 3 penguins only because of the confusion thing. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-61246236868489026412012-05-31T04:00:00.000-07:002012-05-31T07:33:06.520-07:00A Black Girl's Poetry For The World<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A book on poetry on life and love<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><b>My Review:</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I love to read poetry. It is a way to look at the person who wrote it. I have wrote some before but nothing I ever felt good enough. But I have always loved reading poetry others have written so when I got the chance to review this book I was so excited! This book is so real and down to earth. I found myself relating to so many of the poems. It's not all love and perfect like some poems are. It was about real life issues that everyone faces. I happened to read the book when I was going through a hard time in my life and it was so helpful to me to see that others go through what I go through and that someone else knows how I am feeling. I also looked at it and realized that things will get better and that sometimes people are worse off then I am and I need to be thankful for what I do have. If you like poetry please look into this book. I give this book</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><u><b>My Review:</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> The book took me a few pages to get into but once I got into it I was hooked. I thought it was going to be a love story and follow a certain plat line but I was so wrong! I loved the twists toward the end of the book and without giving anything away it was so unexpected! I got to a point in the book where I could not put it down. I was reading everywhere I went and made sure I had the book with me at all times! It was a very good read and a very good plot! I would give this book 4 Penguins! It is a must read book! <u><b> </b></u></span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><u>New Cover:</u></b></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I created ‘Familiar Ties’ by looking at storylines
that I loved in TV shows and then tweaked them to how I wanted them to be. I
also have a love for romance and wanted to write my own love story that when
how I wanted it to.</span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.75pt; margin-bottom: 2.25pt; margin-left: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">My favorite author is Jodi Picoult however she didn’t
influence my writing I just love her books. There was no particular book or
writer that influenced my writing as I love to read a wide range of books.</span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.75pt; margin-bottom: 2.25pt; margin-left: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Balancing my time between writing and studying was
my hardest thing to do. However looking for publishers was also hard as I wasn’t
sure if I wanted to self publish or not and then I wasn’t sure which publishers
to go with as you hear about all these fake publishers so I had to be careful.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I think the editing process was hard as I found
there were loads of parts that I understood as a writer however my message didn’t

<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.75pt; margin-bottom: 2.25pt; margin-left: 12.0pt; margin-right: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">English has always been my favorite subject at
school so I guess it stemmed from there because writing stories was my favorite
part of that class </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="color: purple;">This is a book you cannot put down and won't mind missing out on sleep to be able to stay up and finish reading it! It is such a heartfelt romance book! I fell in love with not only the plot but also the characters. The writing of the book is so effortless even with the going between past and present, it had to take a lot of thought to get it to be so effortless. But ever still the author has an amazing talent for writing! This book had me smiling the whole way through it and while I was reading it just changed my mood altogether! If you are looking for an uplifting read please check out this book! I give it </span></span></div>

if all your life consisted of was, work and therapy dates where
middle-aged men talked about their fears in a family-style
restaurant? Would it depress you? Maybe it would even make you long
for something new, even, a little wild? It did Deidre. Call it an
impulse move born of desperation, but she finally caved into Curt, a
policeman who just returned to duty after being wounded in a sting
operation, who wasn’t taking no for an answer.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span lang="en-US">Going out with
a cop, fourteen years her junior was an irrational thing to do her
friends helpfully pointed out. Meeting Curt for drinks was just the
beginning. Deidre was unsure how to handle her recovering hero, and
her growing affection for the young alpha male. The real question was
would Deidre be able to overcome her doubts and peer pressure to live
the life she always fantasized about having? </span></span></div>

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Tossing her hair over her
shoulder, she noticed a man staring at her intently. She slipped off
her glasses, thinking it would make her look more attractive. It
might be him. A square set to his shoulders, short military-style
haircut, and he appeared to be walking in a direct line to her. Could
be. She flashed a smile, a calculated smile meant to dazzle with
perfect orthodontic work and promise. He stopped suddenly as if hit
in the solar plexus.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Deidre?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Turning slightly, she allowed one
long leg to stretch out and make contact with the floor before
speaking. Falling off the barstool might not make the best first
impression. “Curt?” Dare she hope this toned male with the almost
crew cut was her man.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Ah, it is you.” Curt
grinned, taking her hand and helping her alight from the barstool.
Nodding in the direction of her glass, he asked, “Is that your
drink?” At her agreement, he picked up the glass and led her to a
table.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Deidre shot a quick glance back
at the bartender who shrugged his shoulders. Probably meant no key
lime pie for her. Oh well, she didn’t come for the pie.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Putting her drink on the booth
table, Curt leaned over and gave her a brief hug and kiss on the
hair. Wow. Surprised, Deidre plopped down on the vinyl seat, causing
it to make an embarrassing hissing noise. “It’s the seat,” she
explained, sorry she said anything once the words came out. Can we
say sophisticated older woman image up in flames?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">I know.” Curt acknowledged
her remark, sliding in opposite her. A server showed up, handed them
menus, and took Curt’s beer order.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The conversational ball was back
to her. Argh. Her mind kept yelling “yummy,” but not a great way
to start a conversation, or was it? “Curt, I couldn’t help
noticing you are even cuter than your photo. Now why is it you like
older women?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">His eyes lit up as he picked up
Deidre’s hand and bestowed a kiss on it. “That’s one of the
reasons I like older women, they cut to the chase, say what they
mean.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Oh.” Did she do that? If she
did, it wasn’t intentional.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The server brought Curt his beer
and inquired if they’d like to order anything from the menu. The
deal was you really needed to order food if you wanted to prolong
your time together. Suddenly, she knew she wanted to extend her time.
So far, she’d had more physical contact with Curt in the last four
minutes than all her dates with Kevin combined, and she liked it. A
lot.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The burgers sizzling behind the
swinging doors tantalized her. A burger would be good. Besides,
burgers did not embarrass her as sloppy foods like ribs or tricky
foods like crab legs that tended to shoot across the table in the
cracking. Curt followed her lead. What were they talking about again?
Oh yeah, how well Curt filled out his clothes.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Curt took a drink and let his
free hand cover hers on the table. “I also like the fact that older
women know who they are. They aren’t constantly trying out new
images like Lady Gaga.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Deidre smiled at the idea of
trying new images. She did that a long, long time ago. For a while,
she thought dating would give her a chance to be someone new, but she
found the stress of dating didn't play well with being a completely
new person. She could barely remember details about her date. Forget
re-inventing herself.</span></div>

<div style="color: blue;">
<span id="freeText16316085740471626923">CLARK HAYDEN is a
graduate student trying to help his mother navigate through the loss of
his father while she continues to live in their house near Washington
DC. With his mother’s diminishing mental capacity becoming the norm,
Clark expects a certain amount of craziness as he heads home for the
holidays. What he couldn’t possibly anticipate, though, is that he would
find himself catapulted into the middle of a terrorist operation. As
the holiday festivities reach a crescendo, a terrorist cell – which
happens to be across the street – is activated. Suddenly Clark is
discovering things he never knew about deadly chemicals, secret
government operations, suspiciously missing neigh- bors, and the
intentions of a gorgeous IRS auditor. Clark’s quiet suburban
neighborhood is about to become one of the most deadly places on the
planet, and it’s up to Clark to prevent the loss of hundreds of
thousands of innocent lives in the nation’s capital.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"> <b><u>My Review:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This was a very well written book! The author did an amazing job of keeping all the characters in order and had facts and fiction throughout the book that where beyond amazing. It was a page turner for me and now one of my favorite books. If you love thrillers you need to check this book out! This is a book that will have you still questioning things well after you are done reading it! I am highly looking forward to more work from Mark Gilleo and will be buying them to add to my collections of books. </span><br />

<u><b><span style="color: cyan;">My Review:</span></b></u><br />
<div style="color: #cc0000;">When I got the chance to review this book for a book tour I jumped on it just based on the title. I have always wonder how it works becoming a step parent when you yourself had no kids. </div><div style="color: #cc0000;">I very much enjoyed this book and the humor that Amy put throughout the book. Her writing is so easy to connect with and so easy to relate to. </div><span style="color: #cc0000;">Even though I am not a step mom to other kids I loved the tips throughout the book for them. It helped me relate to my own step mother in ways that I had never considered before. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">I fell in love with this book and I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you are a step mom or not. I give this book </span><br />

After their final confrontation with the species that tortured them, they’ve changed-unfortunately, not for the better. The changes caused by a terrible experiment force Aadi to accept the possibility that he may never be fit to go home, and that holding onto his sanity, or leading his friends to safety will end in failure and may rip his friendship with Eirena apart, forever. </em></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />

I know I am an adult and it is geared towards teenagers, but I just found it to be an easy read. I was a little lost since I have not read the first book in the series yet but I know I am going to be getting it and the others that follow as well as other books from L.M. Preston. If you have a tween or teen in your house that loves sci-fi then you really need to get them this book! It's available on Amazing for around $11 for paperback. </span></em></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908132214580336479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656821361828703652.post-79817231113735021562012-03-15T14:34:00.000-07:002012-03-15T14:34:36.782-07:00Gods and Fathers<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

His new novel promises more sleepless nights and more nonstop thrills.<br />
<br />
Matt DeMarco is an accomplished Manhattan attorney with more than his share of emotional baggage. His marriage ended disastrously, his ex-wife has pulled their son away from him, and her remarriage to a hugely successful Arab businessman has created complications for Matt on multiple levels. However, his life shifts from troubled to imperiled when two cops – men he's known for a long time – come into his home and arrest his son as the prime suspect in the murder of the boy's girlfriend.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, the enmity between Matt and his only child is no longer relevant. Matt must do everything he can to clear his son, who he fully believes is innocent. Doing so will require him to quit his job and make enemies of former friends – and it will throw him up against forces he barely knew existed and can only begin to comprehend how to battle.<br />
<br />
GODS AND FATHERS is at once a powerful mystery and a provocative international thriller, all of it presented with LePore's signature fascinating characters placed in dire circumstances where every choice poses new and potentially fatal challenges.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> <b>REVIEW: </b>I have to say that this book took me a minute to get into but once I got into it it kept my attention. It was very well written and very well laid out. The author reminds me of John Grisham's works if that is something that you love then you will need to check out all the past and future books from James LePore! He had some amazing twists in the book that I can't really get into without giving much away but all I can say is if you like political thrillers then you need to get this book! </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I give this book 4 penguins! </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
