My Review

At first I kind of thought this would sound ridiculous but I first listened to the Michael Jackson one since it was the one I know all the song. It is so cute and I don't just mean the cover of these CDs.. I mean Cradle Rock lullabies are a great idea. They sound great and mommy and baby can both enjoy these.

If you have a baby or are expecting and thinking of getting lullaby Cds then I think you and baby would love this one. .

Oh I forgot to add that you can listen to the albums online before you buy.go to: http://treetoprecords.com and click on an album to listen to it.

Triune by Willow Polson review

Product Description

The Mason brothers had always been close, but until the day ex-Navy officer Mike discovered he was actually an angel, they had no idea just how close.

This paranormal/urban fantasy novel brings readers along on the Mason brothers' shared journey of discovery, because where one brother goes, the other two follow, sometimes kicking and screaming. Not everything is heavenly for these three men tossed into strange new circumstances without an instruction manual, and being an angel isn't as easy as it sounds. But along with the thorns there are roses, and for the suddenly-immortal Mason brothers, the journey is only beginning.

My Review

This book is an other awesome read. If you are a fan of of angels, the paranormal, and urban fantasy then I suggest you read this book.I really enjoyed reading this book and i will be looking into buying some of Willow Polson's other books as soon as I get the chance.

If you are interested in reading the first chapter of this great book you can do so in Willow Polson's website. The site also tells you where you can buy a copy of the book.

I give this a 4 out of 5

My Review

I have to admit this is the very first audiobook I ever listened to completely.
Anyways I put the MP3 in my iPod and everyday this past week when I took my 6 month old puppy for daily 1 hour walks I would grab my ipod and listen to this audiobook . At some points I had to force myself not to laugh while on the walks lol
This audio book is so good and I liked that different  voice actors would do the characters instead of just the 1 person who just reads the audio books. It was engaging and drew me in to the story. If you love audio books this is definitely one you should get. It is funny, very entartaining and captivating.

To hear a sample of Jitters please visit www.jittersaudiobook.com
If you want to purchase this audiobook and can do so at Amazon.com

I give this audio book a 5 out of 5 .

Skillet Bacon Jam

Product Description

what is skillet bacon jam?

we make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam..you say what?.. that’s right, we use niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices . It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness!  USDA approved.

My Review

When I first heard of Skillet Bacon Jam I thought that has to be gross but I am always willing to try new food so I decided to give it a try.

I wasn't really quite sure what to have it with but I tried it on grilled cheese and though it was ok but it wasn't all that tasty. Then my fiance decided to put it on his fried egg sandwich and he loved it that way so I tried it too. Let me tell you it was delicious. Those where the only ways I tried the Skillet Bacon Jam but I am sure it would be really tasty in a burger as well.

check out their website www.skilletbaconjam.com and you can here is their email eat@skilletstreetfood.com

Lovers and Beloveds (An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom) by MeiLin Miranda (ebook review)

 

Description

Lovers and Beloveds (An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom) by MeiLin Miranda

BETWEEN DUTY AND DESIRE

Over a thousand years, the Tremont family has conquered kingdom after kingdom, until it now rules the entire continent. The kingdom's magic is long forgotten, but its Gods are still remembered. Tremont is a kingdom on the cusp of an industrial revolution; trains and stem engines are new, and the Scholar Priests of Eddin's Temple make exciting discoveries daily.

Heir to the Tremontine throne, Temmin is a sheltered young Prince on the cusp of adulthood. Now that he's of age, he must leave his childhood home behind for a new life with his father--Harsin the Fourth, by the Grace of Pagg, King of the Greater Kingdom of Tremont and Litta, Emperor of Inchar.

King Harsin expects his son to become the kind of ruthless, pragmatic man he is. But the family's immortal advisor Teacher has other plans, and they involve a seductive set of twins, holy personifications of the Gods called the Lovers. Teacher intends to bind Temmin to a Temple devoted to eroticism; to bring him closer to his people; and to set him on a path that will lead ultimately to unimaginable glory for the House of Tremont--or its end.

The first book in this fantasy series with a sensual twist.

My Review

Lovers and Beloveds: An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom Book One is more than just erotic fantasy. It is very well written and awesome storyline. I must say I am very picky when it comes to erotic fantasy books but this book is the best I have read in the genre I have read in a very long time. If you are into this kind of book then I really reconmend that you read it.

I give this book a 4 out of 5

Christmas light car magnets from Magnets For Fun review & giveaway

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

****CLOSED----WINNER ANNOUNCED******

Product Description

Company offering new outdoor Christmas decoration for the holiday season.

October 20, 2010:  MagnetsforFun.com has released their newest product, Christmas light car magnets, for the upcoming holiday season.  The brightly colored holiday magnets are shaped as C9 Christmas light bulbs, each five inches tall, and are geared towards decorating vehicles.  With American spending nearly 8 billion annually on Christmas decorations, the outdoor magnets, sold in packs of 10, 15, 20, and 30, are already proving to be a standout in the crowd, offering an endless variety of decorating possibilities starting at just $9.95. 

The Company initially geared the Christmas light magnet to capture the self-professed Christmas decoration fanatics that want to take their show on the road with their holiday decorations.  As the success of the product launch is showing, the Christmas magnets have proved to have a more widespread appeal.  The Texas-based Magnets for Fun anticipates their budget-friendly product to also appeal to a large audience of consumers who can’t wait to start spreading holiday cheer.

The response to the holiday magnet’s initial release has been overwhelmingly positive and their popularity is skyrocketing just based on word of mouth.  Roger Diebel, VP of Sales is pleased with the response of the public: "I'm excited to see how well received these magnets have become. People stop me constantly to ask where they can get some to decorate their car for the holidays."

Magnets for Fun is the brainchild of owner Todd Kelsey, who started the company to cater to those who love to go overboard to celebrate holidays.  Kelsey says "My mother was the queen of crazy decorations and always wanted to bring joy and laughter to everyone she met, so we started MagnetsForFun.com to celebrate important dates like holidays, seasons, and sporting events."

The bright, festive magnets can be used to not only show the Christmas spirit of consumers, but to decorate cars for sale, draw attention to logos on work vehicles, and to even garner a grin as they brighten up a school bus.  Magnets for Fun anticipates the product’s popularity to soar as buyers use their creativity to design whimsical holiday vehicle decorations.

My Review 
I admit I did not put these on a car.. Only one in this house that has a car and drives is my fiance and he refused letting me put the magnets on his car, especially so far away from the Holidays so I had to put them on the refrigerator instead. They are very and they stick very well. They do not just sell Christmas light car magnets, they have tons of really nice magnets too.Check the Magnets For Fun website.

The Giveaway
 Would you like to have  10 of these to put on your car (or even your refrigerator) ?  Here is your chance to win a pack of 10 of the magnets.

Six Clicks Away by Bonnie Rozanski (ebook review)

 

Description

As miraculous as our wired world may be, everything connected to everything else eventually shows its downside. A rumor, a virus, a financial crisis – these days, they all cascade throughout the world in record time. SIX CLICKS AWAY tells the story of a single ripple through a tangled web, and how one person can affect us all.

In Bonnie Rozanski’s captivating novel, the social network becomes a stage for six indelible, interconnected characters: a lonely writer in Toronto, pining for her lost love; an unemployed engineer in Seattle who finds himself working at the Pike Place Fish Market. There is a young collections operator in Bangalore, India, who can’t stop caring about the people from whom she collects; and a seedy real estate magnate who gets his just desserts. Finally, there is a down-on-his-luck actor, an old friend of the Dalai Lama, who finds enlightenment from a most unlikely source.

A chain of falling dominoes is set in motion when Jeremy and Rachel, an unlikely duo of a geek and a Jersey girl, contact a friend on Myface.com, the largest social network on the planet. That friend contacts another, and another, each link bringing the pair one step closer to the goal of reaching the Dalai Lama, their choice of exotic target on the other side of the world. What they expect is that their simple classroom project will demonstrate “six degrees of separation,” the idea that everyone on this planet is connected in six short links to everyone else. What they get, however, is a cascade of the unexpected.

My Review
This book is very good and very well written.
If you are into this kind of book then this is a must read.I really enjoyed it and it was an other one of those books I couldn't put down.

I give this a 4 out of 5.

The Noble Pirates by R. L. Jean (ebook review)

 

Product Description

A vacation in the Bahamas goes awry, and a woman from 2009 unexpectedly finds herself in the 18th century -- amidst pirates. Sabrina is so consumed with her present-day problems that the last thing she expects is to suddenly end up face to face with real pirates. The notorious bad boys of the Golden Age of Piracy, Edward England, Howel Davis, and “Black Bart” Roberts, become Sabrina’s means of survival in the past, and ultimately, her key to returning to the future.
The catch? Sabrina happens to be carrying a book about pirates when she is swept into the past, and that book contains biographies of the very men she meets. She forms relationships with them and learns that, contrary to what she previously thought, they are sailors, servants, and slaves who were pressed into service, victims of social and historical circumstances of the era. She begins to wonder: Can she use her knowledge to change the past? Is her knowledge a blessing or a curse?

My Review

I was blown away by this book. I do not usually like historical fiction books but this one is so good. R. L. Jean did a wonderful job and it shows that she really did her research on 18th century pirates. If you are into this kind of novels or even if you are not I really recommend this e book to all of you.

I give this book a 5 out of 5.

If you want to buy this ebook you can do so at amazon.com or at Smashwords .

Butter Bell® crock review & giveaway

 Sponsored by Tomoson.com

 

Product Description

The original Butter Bell crock keeps butter soft, delicious and spreadable for up to 30 days without refrigeration. Through the study of traditional and historical butter storage methods and hours of product development, L. Tremain, Inc. has created a line of butter crocks that are a tribute to the original French butter crock or "beurrier" (pronounced bur-e-ay). Made from durable dolomite clays, this classic Butter Bell crock will safely keep butter fresh and spreadable without refrigeration, odors or spoilage. The Butter Bell's unique design enhances butter's delicate flavor, while providing a practical and decorative solution for storing and serving butter. It keeps butter at the perfect "spreading" consistency by reflecting outside heat while insulating and cooling the butter. Flavor and freshness is protected by an airtight seal of water at the base of the crock. Water should be changed out every three days and replaced with fresh, cold water. Store the crock away from heat or sunlight. To use, firmly pack softened butter into the bell-shaped lid, pour cold water into the base of the crock and place the lid upside down back into the base of the crock. This classic white Butter Bell features the word "butter" in blue and is a beautiful addition to any kitchen or tabletop. Dishwasher safe.

About the Company

Butter Bell® crocks

have become the most popular brand of butter crocks in the US and we have been in business for over 13 years,

Their website, www.LTREMAIN.com sells many other kitchen, tabletop and gift items. 

My Review

I have had my Butter Bell® crock for over a week now and I love it. I love the fact that now the butter is easy to spread on bread without having to take the butter out an while in advance and without ripping the slice of bread in the process of buttering it. Now I just have to remember to change the water every 3 days  but I am not complaining because I love my crock. I think I might be buying some to family members for Christmas especially since right now they are currently offering  consumers a chance to buy two Butter Bell crocks and receive a free one. More information about the offer is available on the Butter Bell® website.

The offer is good through November. 15^th, 2010.

Check out their site.. They have quite a few things you might like.

The Second Half of Life by Sionna Caile (book review)

 

 

Product Description

Tequila, magic and rock and roll set the stage for midlife rebellion when the Committee for the Disaffected decides that the ancient art of witchcraft is the only way to rev up their boring small-town lives. Aidan, Kathy and Diana soon discover they’re not the only witches in town, and the local coven holds the secret to a cursed stone, inhabited by a demon that will grant your heart’s desire. This demon is a sultry succubus that wants to know what’s in it for her, and she doesn’t give you what you wish for; she gives you what she thinks you deserve.

Aidan desires the attentions of a handsome young musician, only to discover that he was already in love – with his bandmate. Kathy longs for financial security, but when fortune strikes, it reveals her husband’s true nature. Longing to be a respected author, Diana becomes an overnight success – but it’s her kinky erotica that everyone wants, and her humiliated husband decides to put his foot down.

Magical wishes always come with a high price tag – and they’re just not sure they can afford it.

My Review

I was asked by the author to do a review of her book. I liked the description so decided to do the review. I am very impressed with this one and I couldn't book my e book reader down. I was hooked on this one. But not right away. The beginning is a little slow but that is OK because you get to know the characters a bit better. If you are into books like this then you will definitely love this book as much as I do.

Does This Make My Assets Look Fat?: A Woman's Guide to Finding Financial Empowerment and Success by Susan L. Hirshman (book review)

 

Product Description

As Susan Hirshman sees it, the rules of successful dieting are the same rules that apply to successful money management. In this upbeat and informative guide she offers women a 3-phase personalized plan that follows common dieting programs to help them understand their finances.
The structure of the book is consistent with that of a typical diet book - it includes an evaluation phase, an induction phase, and a maintenance regimen.  Susan offers specific advice on topics that matter most to women including how to develop realistic and attainable goals, how to make smart financial decisions, how to determine the best way to invest based on a reader’s 'investment personality’, and how and when to get professional help from a financial advisor all while relating it back to a theme that practically every woman has experienced at least once in her life – dieting!. 
Susan's program completely removes the intimidation factor that often accompanies the words ‘personal finance' and 'investing’ and provides women with all the information they need to take control of their financial situations once and for all.

My Review

This book is great and easy to read , Not at all like other financial book.I was able to read the entire book without being bored. If you are looking for a good financial  guide for women then this is a fantastic book for you. Very Informative and easy to understand

I give this a 4 1/12 out of 5
