While car pooling with some friends from work she runs into a hunk of a policeman. The banter between the friends while car pooling is humorous. The people at Belinda's Company start dying, is there a serial killer ...

Nora Roberts Face the Fire
Its been a long time since I've enjoyed a trilogy as much as I have the Three Sister's Island books. The third book finished out the story of these wonderfully different women and their special talents. It was so much fun to read all three that I hated to see it end. I could read this trilogy again. Something I don't do often. If your going to read one, plan on reading all three. You won't want ...

Bilingual
I'm becoming bilingual--I'm learning to speak Apple as well as Windows. I just got a new iMac G5. Apple basically tells you to learn the system by pushing all the buttons to see what they do. Yeah, right. I also have the XP Missing Manual. This is a good series, a lot better than the Dummie series, if you really are a dummie. The organization is good and there is a lot of information, starting ...

Good Review OK study guide
I found this book to be an affordable and useful review for the Bil. Generalist Exam. In fact, it had a lot more information than I needed when I took the exam but I didn't mind because it was a good refresher. I took the practice test then studied the book approximately 4 hrs/day for two weeks before I took the practice test again. This was my only study guide and I am happy to say that I ...

Women for President: Media Bias in Eight Campaigns
Erika Falk
University of Illinois Press, 2007
When Hillary Clinton announced her 2008 bid for president she was the Democratic front-runner. Despite this, she received less coverage than Barack Obama, who trailed her in the polls. Such a disparity is indicative of the gender bias the media has demonstrated in covering women candidates since the first woman ran for America?s highest office in 1872. Tracing the campaigns of eight women who ran for president through 2004--Victoria Woodhull, ...

Ron Wolfson
Jewish Lights Publishing, 2006
God's To-do List: 103 Ways to Be an Angel and Do God's Work on Earth
God's To-do List lives up to its title. It is a heartwarming and practical look at unassuming ways people do God's work everyday. Wolfson challenges readers to do the same in their own life. He provides suggestions and opportunities to personalize their list. It is difficult to come away from this book without recognizing angels in your own life and believing that each of us can make a ...

Good Book, gladly recommended.
I didn't like the prologue of this book.When I had first started reading it reminded me of a Jerry Springer show. So I dropped it to read something more interesting.
Two months later, when I was consumed by boredom, almost to the brink of insanity. I picked the book up.
The first part is, eh... kind of boring. The the investigation and the methods involved are real enough. His relationships ...

Whole Lotta Trouble9 reviews
Stephanie Bond
Avon, 2004
Fun and complelling!
I'm usually a 5 to 10-pages a night reader, but on this book I read more than 100 pages each night and had to force myself to turn off the light. This was an extremely well crafted mystery. The dual heroines were likeable; there was a nice romance; and the intrigue never let up. You can bet I'll be reading more of Stephanie Bond's romantic suspense.
