Anita Blake, necromancer, zombie raiser and vampire "executioner". In book 5, Anita is dating two "monsters" as she would call them. Boy her views have changed, and  you will see more of this throughout the book! In many ways.

Anita is asked to go to the mountains near Bransom, to try and raise a huge unmarked grave site where a millionaire wants to build a resort. The land is in dispute between two families, the Kelly's and the Bouvier's because a family plot is said to be buried there, but they're not sure. They're asking Anita to raise the dead and ask who they are so they can resolve who's...

Redneck Cinderella by LuAnn McLane is a story about a young woman and her father learning how to fit in after selling their farm and suddenly becoming well-off.

Jolie Russell and her Father are becoming the talk of the town - and not in a good way.  They sold their farm at the instance of Cody Dean a wealthy land developer who convinced them that it would be good for them and that they could still live on a portion of their land. What they didn't know at the time was that they would have to fit in with the high-society folk, something they are quite unprepared to do.

Jolie lost her mother when...

I loved this book. I keep coming back to this series of books because the main character is someone who gets into trouble while solving crimes and catching bad guys. It also has a lot of humor and several romantic threads---it keeps you guessing who will Stephnie marry?  What trouble will she get into next? Her sidekick Lulu---is just plain fun. I also love that her grandmother who is in her 80's dresses in mini skirts and trolls funerals for men to date. Besides that the car she drives keeps changing because it is blown up, stolen, trashed by bad guys---you name it one of her cars has met its...

Everybody loves Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! I love taking my kids to the library. My little boy one day stumbled across a great treasure, this book. After checking it out, re-checking it and asking for it every day I knew this would have to be a house hold book. Being cheap I purchased the paper copy, but reading that multiple times a day led to the upgrade of the hardcover book. It was a devastating day when we couldn't find the book a year later! Now that he was learning to read on his own I purchased the large print book with additional verses. My daughter was born a few years later. She is...

The recipes are for 1 serving many times. Also most recipes require certain brands of items that you might not be able to locate or eat. Such as Splenda gives me a headache. The cookbook really is best if you check it out at the local library instead of buying it first. I only found 7 or 8 recipes that I was interested in preparing. I copied them and returned the book. It is not a book I would consider opening again. You can also find many hungry girl recipes on recipezarr. Just such for HG or hungry girl.

Worrying over the health and happiness of all the animals of earth, the goddess Gaea requests the Almighty Father, God of All, to allow her to teach mankind a lesson for mot taking care of her earth and all of the Lords creatures. By her side during this request is Quant, a seraph (an angel of the highest rank in the traditional Christian hierarchy) that likes to spend time on earth in the shape of a house cat. When God reminds Gaea that he is the only one that will hand out punishment and vengeance, Gaea takes the chance to offer a warning to mankind with the help of a family and friends. Always...

I was a bit skeptical to read this book at first. Everyone was reading it and I heard something about how the idea was originally borrowed from the Vampire Diaries. But then I had watched the movie out of boredom and I actually enjoyed it. Yes, the movie was abit slow but I found that the idea of immortal love and depth of love between Bella and Edward was fantastically portrayed. So I decided to read the book. I went to my nearest Walmart and picked up a copy for under 7.00$.  

I began to read the book and I was interested by the minute. I ended up staying up all night reading it. I found it...

I was hooked from page one on this book.  I loved the characters and the story line.  I did figure out who the "bad guy" was pretty early on but the motive came out as you went through the book.  The hero in this book was awesome and I couldn't put the book down once I started.

One quilt from seven blocks and flowers that never die is what you will get in FLOWER POTS.  Using these blocks, you can create the quilt that Ms. Lammon intended.  Or you can be even more creative and make a combination of your own with one, two or three (or more!) of the blocks.

Six pages of basic instructions begin FLOWER POTS.  Things like pressing, folded triangles and ways to do appliqué are found here.  The pattern begins with a materials list that will create the whole quilt.  Each block pattern gives the cutting list for that block along with a finished photo of the block.

Instructions...

 "It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."  - William Tecumseh Sherman

For all my interest in all things related to the military and especially military history, I have never lost sight of two very important concepts.

One, of course, is the obvious reality that war is never something to be undertaken lightly,  It doesn't matter, in the long run, whether we choose to go to war or it is forced upon us, but the whole endeavor is, by its very nature, messy, cruel and unpredictable....

I picked this book up at the library to try out on my kids.  I liked it so much that I bought it.  The purees take some prep, but results are worth it.  It is surprising the many different everyday foods that are made healthy using her recipes.  Who knew you could feed your kids veggies in their cookies and brownies?

where do I start? I never had intrest in this book at all. I started picking up my cousin from high school and had nothing to do for 20 minutes while sitting in her school parking lot so I decided what the heck let's give it a try. Within the first 3 pages I was addicted. i ended up reading the book in 2 days and the other 3 in one week. I have read all 4 books 4 times. this is honestly the best story line and plot I have ever ran across. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the new moon movie. If you have not read this book you r missing out. please don't the vampire plot turn you from reading...
