MY REVIEW 

I read this book yesterday and I have to say this book was not as thrilling as I thought it would be and I had problems getting into the story. I really hate giving bad reviews but I must say this book wasn't really all that great. I thought it was just short on thrills for me but maybe some of you will like it but I think if you are very much into Thrillers then I don't think you will enjoy this one. 

I give this 2 out of 5

Cut the Power Fergy by Ronald Tousignant, Lila Ferguson Christman




On July 7 of 1924, Howard and Winifred Ferguson were blessed with the arrival of their first-born, a boy, whom they named Kenneth Gerry Ferguson.

Ken grew up to be very handsome and full of life. He was, in high school, very mischievous.

But like all other good American boys his age, he was very patriotic. With America being immersed in, now, this second World War, many boys Ken’s age were drafted or volunteered for duty as Americans to help the European allies to fight and defeat the enemies across two oceans.

Ken enlisted in the US Army Air Force (USAAF) as a cadet on his 18th birthday, July 7, 1942, following graduation from Gardner High School.
From the letters to the family after he went off to war, this is his story, the story of an American hero, 

from enlistment through 50 bombing missions and 16 fighter missions.


MY REVIEW

This is not what I usually read and not usually would review but it really seemed interesting so I gave it a shot.  This is very good. Even if you are not into   Historical biography this book is very good and informative. You get to learn more about Word War II and how family back home dealt with it. As a army wife I thought it was very informative.  I think even if you are not into historical biographies you might still find it a good read. 

If this is something you would be interested in you can purchase this ebook at amazon.com and AKW books .

We are huge Doctor Who fans in this house so I jumped on the opportunity to watch and review this. Doctor Who series 6 part 1 is a great half of the series. The story line is great and with a few surprises.I love the bonus features. One thing I wish these discs has is the Christmas special and I do hope it will be in the other half when it comes out.


If you are a Doctor Who fan than I suggest you get this.

Confessions of a Call Center Gal: A Novel by Lisa Lim

A fun chick lit romance that will appeal to fans of Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes. Bridget Jones meets The Office. Madison Lee is a fresh college grad, ready to take on the world of print media. But she has zero luck landing a job. Unemployment is at ten percent and on the rise. Desperate and left with no other options, she accepts a position as a service rep at a call center in Pocatello, Idaho. At the Lightning Speed call center in Spudsville, Maddy plunges into the wild and dysfunctional world of customer service where Sales is prided over Service and an eight hour shift is equivalent to eight hours of callers bashing her over the phone. Oh sure, the calls are bad. But Maddy manages to find humor on the phone and off the phone. And with all the salacious drama behind the calls, there is never a dull moment at the Lightning Speed call center.
Lately . . . Maddy has been pining for her smolderingly gorgeous co-worker Mika Harket. Now things are heating up on the phone--and elsewhere. Don't hang up on this novel. Working at a call center has never been this garish . . . or this delightful. 


MY REVIEW


 I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't put it down. This book is super funny and very believable and I really  loved the main characters . I thought the romance was lacking a bit  but it was good anyways.All in all it is a pretty good book.

The "What if" Guy by Brooke Moss (ebook review)



What would you do if you're "what if" guy showed up at the lowest point of your life?

(Autumn Cole clocked hers with an encyclopedia.)

After losing her job at a swanky Seattle art gallery and finding out her father has been hospitalized, single mother Autumn Cole reluctantly returns to her tiny hometown of Fairfield, Washington to put the pieces of her life back together.

Her disgruntled twelve-year old son isn’t thrilled about going from hip to hick, but Autumn’s got it worse. She resumes her role as the daughter of the town drunk, promptly facing a crisis with her father that’s been decades in the making.

Running into Henry Tobler, and nearly breaking his nose, is almost more than she can handle, but can rediscovering love–and herself–with her “what if” guy teach Autumn to forgive before it’s too late?



MY REVIEW

This is one of the best romance books I have read in a long time. I read this in one day and just couldn't put this one down. Very well written  and I really loved the characters .

Sweethearts since childhood, Ellie Hogan and her husband, John, are content on their farm in Ireland—until John, a soldier for the Irish Republican Army, receives an injury that leaves him unable to work. Forced to take drastic measures in order to survive, Ellie does what so many Irish women in the 1920s have done and sails across a vast ocean to New York City to work as a maid for a wealthy socialite.

And now she faces the most difficult choice she will ever have to make: a new life in a new country full of hope and promise, or return to a life of cruel poverty . . . and love.

Arthur Blu-Ray Combo Pack review




Synopsis
 Loveable billionaire Arthur Bach, an irresponsible charmer who has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and the good sense of his lifelong nanny and best friend Hobson, to keep him out of trouble. Kind-hearted, fun-loving, and utterly without purpose, Arthur spends every day in the heedless pursuit of amusement. But when his unpredictable public image threatens the staid reputation of the family foundation, Bach Worldwide, he is given an ultimatum: marry the beautiful but decidedly unlovable Susan Johnson, an ambitious corporate exec who can keep him in line, or say goodbye to his billion-dollar inheritance and the only way of life he knows. It's a deal Arthur would be inclined to take...if he hadn't just fallen for Naomi, a New York City tour guide who shares his idealism and spontaneity.


Available on Blu-ray Combo Pack,DVD, On Demand and for Download 6/15 http://bit.ly/piggJN

I was planning on seeing this in theater when it came out but I never got around to it.Anyways when I received this movie on Friday I wanted to watch it right away. It was super funny and Russell Brand did the role of Arthur very well.  I am not one to watch the features but I really loved the special features and if you buy or rent this movie make sure you watch the features as well.. It is a romantic comedy type of movie but it is hilarious and both men and women will love this movie.Personally I think this version is much better than the origional and much funnier as well.  I recommend this movie.

“Burn” Clip
 

When I was a child I loved The Smurfs. I would watch everytime it played on tv (both in French and in English) . I remember I had a plush Smurf  and had a collection of those small Smurf figures. Anyways I just had to jump on the chance to watch this and review The Smurfs: A Magical Smurf Adventure. I thought I might not like it now that I am an adult but as I watched it I found myself really liking it and there was 1 episode I actually remember. Even though this is a old cartoon from the 80's I really see children of today enjoying this as much as we did when we were children. If you have children or even if you don't but loved The Smurfs when you were a child this is a great dvd to own.

Twilight of the Gods (Immortyl Revolution #2) by Denise Verrico



Vampire lovers Mia and Kurt are on the run from their Forbidden Science rival Gaius Lupus.
After narrowly escaping the implosion of Genpath Laboratories, Immortyls Mia Disantini and Kurt Eisen go into hiding in a place they think is safe. All too soon they are discovered, and Kurt is captured by Gaius.
When he's rescued with the aid of feral child and teen vampires known as sewer rats, Mia witnesses first-hand the charismatic spell her lover casts over these would-be revolutionaries, who vow to join Kurt in his mission to bring down the house of Gaius.
Meeting obstacles to government funding to support the research that will one day allow them to walk in the sun, Kurt builds his forces. Mia navigates the minefield of rat politics, where she is distressed to be shunted into the background; viewed merely as an overly ambitious concubine who stands between the beloved "Loki" and his followers. One in particular-the oddly timid but beautiful Arturo, who threatens to sever the deep bond between Mia and Kurt.
Will Kurt and Mia defeat Gaius's brutal attacks and realize their dream of a cure for their condition? Will the new order they establish survive betrayal from within? And...will their love adapt to the challenge of a third partner?

MY REVIEW

So yesterday I reviewed book 1 Cara Mia and I couldn't wait to start reading the next book so I started reading it right away. Anyways, Twilight of the Gods did not disappoint me . The story was just as good as the first book and I couldn't put it down. This book is more fast paced then the first one and it is awesome.
There is a third book in this series and I do have it to read and review and will be reading it on the weekend and post my review as soon as I can. Can't wait to read this one and I am hoping it is as good as the other two.

 MY REVIEW

Most people I know love ER and ofcourse I loved it as well. I was very sad that the 15th season was the last but ofcourse I knew it would happen. I ended up missing most of the last season because I was sick so I jumped on the chance to watch and review this. I enjoyed seeing some of the old characters make an appearance and see what they been up to in since they left Chicago's County General. Also I loved the Bonus features were great.  If you were a fan of ER then I recommend you get this, it is so worth it.

BrownBird's Luck (The Land Behind the Veil) by Kriss Erickson

In a misty land, long ago, and far away, lived a lovely girl-child of fourteen. Her lineage was as mysterious as the mountain range that loomed over the valley where she lived. Her father grew flax, and her grandmother, “The Dark Weaver”, wove the linen into beautiful tapestries, some with strange powers. This was their only means of a living. Deila tended the animals on the small farm and helped “Gran” with the weaving.
One night everything changed when a foal was born to the dray horse and by morning was taken from them by an evil creature.

The Wayfinder by Darcy Pattison

 
 
SYNOPSIS

    Young Winchal Eldras is a Wayfinder, one of the gifted few of G'il
    Rim who have the ability to locate anything: a lost ring, the way
    home, a blue dress in the marketplace, a lost child. "Finding" is a
    valuable talent in this city that sits dangerously close to the
    Rift, a mysterious, unexplored chasm. When the Rift claims his
    little sister in a bizarre accident, though, Win is reduced to a
    Wayfinder who's lost his way.

    

    But suddenly there's no time for grief—the plague has come to the
    Heartland. And only healing water from the Well of Life, on the
    other side of the Rift, can stop it. A prophecy commands that Win
    must make the terrible journey to seek the Well. But no one has ever
    braved the dangers of the Rift and returned to tell about it! To
    make matters worse, Win suddenly has a traveling companion in Lady
    Kala, a prized-and royally stubborn—Tazi hound with a few gifts of
    her own. A Wayfinder with no direction can't possibly manage this
    imperious creature from the King's kennels, much less save a
    civilization on the edge of destruction.

    

    Or can he?

How to Dump Your Boyfriend in the Men's Room (and other short stories) by Sibel Hodge


Welcome to My World...

I'm an author of chick lit romances and mysteries. In my spare time I'm Wonder Woman! My world is sometimes wacky, quirky, and very accident-prone.

This is a collection of five humorous short stories - what I like to call true fiction. Some are true, some are fiction, and some are a mixture of both. I guess you have to decide which is which!

I often get asked if I'm like any of my characters in my novels, and I have to groan and say, yes. When you read these stories you'll realize how, and a lot of them have inspired scenes in my novels, although names have been omitted or changed to protect me against lawsuits!

Are you ready to find out "how to dump your boyfriend in the men's toilets", why "yoga is bad for your house", what the "S-Word has to do with your lady garden", why you need to "follow that goat", and whether "kismet" does really exist?

(Short stories total 6,500 words. Includes bonus material and chapters from my novels, Fourteen Days Later, My Perfect Wedding, The Fashion Police, and Be Careful What You Wish For)


MY REVIEW 

Sibel Hodge does it again! This ebook was awesome. If you are into chick lit and want to read something easy, not to long and funny read then this is a awesome little ebook.this is a great read and I promise you will enjoy this and laugh out loud a few times. I know I did.


If you want to purchase this ebook or any other ebook writen by Sibel Hodge please check out her website for links to where you can purchase.

My weekend

WOW! What a weekend!
Friday was actually the most relaxing day of the weekend. It was Canada Day but we decided to just spend it relaxing . First we went out for breakfast then we went out to buy some diapers to give to one of my sisters. We also bought some other stuff that we would need for our road trip. When we got home we put everything away then I gave the dog a bath. We sat outside for an hour or so after the bath then we all went for a nice nap in bed. This was the very first time the dog actually slept in the bed with us. After that we watched some Buffy for the 2 hours then played some video games.

Saturday morning I got out of bed a 6 AM (but was wide awake for about 15 minutes before). I took a shower, took dog for a quick walk and did a bit of stuff on my laptop then at 9:30am my hubby, the dog and I all got into the car and went on a road trip to Ottawa,Ontario. It is only a little over 2 hours from out little city but it was the very first time we took the dog on a roadtrip and we were a little worried how he would react. He was actually very good.  
Once in Ottawa we went straight to my parents' place for a nice visit. I hadn't seen my parents, my youngest sister, her daughter and my brother in a year.  In the afternoon we went downtown to the Apple Store and hubby got a iPad2 then we walked around a bit and headed back to my parents' place. By the time we got back home it was past 10pm and I was very tired and sore.

Today we have to go to the grocery store then once it is done and everything put away we can relax.
