Wow! One of Nora's best - a must read.
IMO one of the best books NR has ever written. From the moment I read the first sentences I was hooked up in the story and felt like I was actually part of it. The feeling was the same when I first read "Angels Fall" and that's another one of my favs.
The book is acout Cilla McGowan who just recently bought her grandmothers old farm to renovate it and finally build up a home for herself. Cilla's ...

Once again, Baer comes flying in with the sorry-but-it's-true reality of the Middle East. I've read all his books and couldn't wait to read this one. The first two dealt with exposing what Saudi Arabia is really up to and their involvement in terror and, most importantly, why it is beyond insane to call them an "ally."
Now he takes on Iran and details in very convincing manner (having dealt ...

Alan does a fabulous job making sense of Robert's Rules. I became a new Chairman of a committee with no experience in the Rules. After reading his book I felt confident I could run the meeting in the proper format. I now keep the book with me at all meetings as a handy reference. Thanks for a great resource. Also, I love the way he gives relevant examples of potential circumstances and how ...

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 ...
