The Best First

Nine West 00690326NW Satchel Metallic

Nine West 00690326NW Satchel Metallic

This exceptionally well-made bag is a little taller than your average crossbody bag, and the shoulder strap is wider, with a bit longer drop. The extra height means I can fit in not only my wallet, keys, shades, phone and various small essentials, but I can also slide in my iPad Mini (and still zip the bag)! It's as if the bag were designed with an iPad Mini in mind.

The two front pockets are nice and deep, but I'm not sure what I'll use them for since anything other than a piece of paper will cause them to bulge. They're also not secure enough for anything as valuable as a smartphone. The back zipper pocket is nice and deep. I'm using that for my iPhone, headphones and a small, collapsible phone stand -- all of which fits with only the slightest bulge. Even when full, the bag keeps a flat-ish silhouette and sits fairly close to the body.

The leather is butter-soft, the stitching very secure, and the hardware nice and solid. The lining is thick satin, pale yellow with the Piazza logo in brown. Altogether well-designed and well-built!

Designer Inspired Mini Lanus Tote

I have owned many Maxpedition products in the past and I have always sold them or traded them to someone else as I was disappointed with them after I got them. Don't get me wrong I was not disappointed by the vendors here at Amazon. I was disappointed by the descriptions used at [...] and many times vendors use those same descriptions. That's OK! This time however I am really impressed with this versipack. It is everything that Maxpedition and Outdoor Merchants said it would be! It holds all of my stuff and then some and it is roomy and get this: This is the first Maxpedtion product that I can actually say is comfortable. I order the product from Outdoor Merchants and I got it quicker then they said I would get it and I am very pleased. I would order from them again in a heartbeat! Great bag!

CobraCo FRHORS369 Horse Campfire Ring

CobraCo FRHORS369 Horse Campfire Ring

This lovely rustic fire ring is perfect for those wonderful summer evenings when you want to sit in front of a nice cozy fire and enjoy the feeling you get as the flames lull you into an almost hypnotic state of relaxation. At a little over 13 pounds, the CobraCo Horse Campfire ring can either be a nice permanent fixture in your yard or camp area, or it can be easily transported to the beach, campground, etc., so that you can set up a quick but safe ring in just minutes. No more concerns about rocks "exploding" or a piece of wood rolling out of the ring. Standing at about 9" tall and 36" in diameter, most wood will safely be contained with no problem.

The CobraCo FRHORS369 Horse Campfire Ring comes in 4 pieces with 12 bolts, 12 nuts (mine had 13 each) and 2 small wrenches. It goes together quickly and easily, and it's easy to break down. When broken down, it doesn't take much room to transport or store when not in use.

The only thing that would make this ring better would be some method to attach it to the ground.

Eighty Days---a great read!

Eighty Days Elizabeth Bislands History Making

Eighty Days Elizabeth Bislands History Making

On a recent discussion threat for a writer support group that I am a part of, one of the other women took the opportunity of marking Women's History Month by insisting in the most absolute and implacable terms that until American women had the national franchise extended to them in 1920, they were mere helpless chattels, powerless before the courts, economically completely dependent on their menfolk and invisible to society at large ... purest bull-hockey, I know, and I should have argued the point by referencing my copy of this book, which countered just about every claim she made about the condition of women in late 19th century America in telling of the epic round-the-world journeys of two female travelers over the winter of 1889. Both Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland were about the same age; both earned a good living in the media hustings of the time, one was a hard-working and hard-charging Northerner, the other a genteel and cultivated Southern lady.

In the publicity stunt of the decade, they were sent by their respective publications to circumnavigate the world and beat the record of 80 days set by Jules Verne's fictional hero, Phineas Fogg. Theoretically, it was at least possible, given the mind-numbingly rapid advances which had been made in the decades following the Civil War. Once it had been the laborious business of six months to cross the United States from the Mississippi River - now it could be done in a week by train. The crossing of the Atlantic by ship now took a week in some comfort on a speedy packet steamer, rather than the six to eight weeks of misery that it had been under sail. Telegrams carried the news instantly. The world had become small - and now Joseph Pulitzer's World newspaper proposed a demonstration by sending his intrepid star female reporter around the world. The magazine Cosmopolitan proposed to make it a real race - and their star reporter Elizabeth Bisland went west by train, even as Nellie Bly caught the steamer east.

The race was on; it made a star of Nellie Bly for a time ... and this is a copiously detailed account of their separate headlong journeys. I personally favor lots of detail in accounts of this kind, although other reviewers have felt bogged down and eventually bored. I did not; and as a record of what it was like to travel the world in 1889 this book is like a five-pound box of mixed artisanal chocolates. There are splendid curiosities, interesting people, events and descriptions everywhere, noted as Miss Bisland and Miss Bly went hurtling past at full speed. Most definitely this book, which I had in advanced edition, needs maps, lots of them and in detail. I hope that the final version does include them.

great mattress cover

Plus Seersucker Pants Drawstring Check

Plus Seersucker Pants Drawstring Check

Overall this is a great, quality product. I've had several types of these covers over the years. The Hospitology cover is equal in qualty to ones for which I've paid 2-3x the price. I especially like that several felt/flanel self-sticking pads are included with the cover. Sharp metal edges on bed frames are the biggest killer of these products. Kudos for Hospitology for thinking of this an including a solution with their product.

I have also experienced excellent customer service with Hospitology. When I received my encasement, it had some yellow-orange stains on it. I immediately sent feedback to the seller and initiated a product exchange. The next day I received an email from the seller explaining that this was an unfortunate, but common side effect from flame retardant coating they use on their products, and it could be remedied with a run through the washer. Sure enough, one trip through the wash cycle and the encasement was pure white! The product comes with thorough washing/drying instructions, so if you wash it, make sure you follow them. To be safe, I let my cover air dry (prior experience with another brand).

a wonderful read

The Paris Wife A Novel

The Paris Wife A Novel

"The Paris Wife" is one of the best novels I've read in a long time. It's so evocative of time and place, of the hearts and minds of the characters, that I could scarcely put it down. I highly recommend it.

I read Hemingway in high school and college. I didn't enjoy or appreciate his work. I knew that World War I had a shattering effect on those who fought and survived, the so-called "Lost Generation." However, I didn't understand their intense live-for-today mindset, or their conviction that there was no point to anything in life except seizing the day. Only intense, adrenaline-inducing experiences, narcissism, artistic expression, and endless partying mattered. Today we would call Hemingway, and many of his mercurial friends, victims of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

"The Paris Wife" takes you so thoroughly into Hemingway's life in the 1920s that it's not just a gripping story, but a revelation about the artist and the genesis of his work.

The narrator of the book, Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, struggles to understand and support him. She also desperately wants him want to be faithful, as she is - definitely not the norm in their fast-living crowd. She loves him, but doesn't understand his moods or his behavior; she finds them troubling, selfish, even cruel. She also must take her own journey of self-discovery and independence. And clearly, given his ultimate suicide, Hemingway struggled mightily with something very dark within himself that no one else could touch. As much as he sometimes regretted that darkness, he hoarded it within himself.

This is a wonderful novel, somehow both intimate and epic. Author Paula McLain takes us right into Hadley and Ernest's Roaring 20s world. It's a fascinating and heart-breaking place.

Breathtaking

Life After A Novel

Life After A Novel

"Life After Life" grabbed me right from the start and just didn't let go. Atkinson uses what sounds like a plot device from science fiction--a character who dies and is reborn repeatedly--but the book does not read like a science fiction/fantasy novel. The setting is an often used time in history with the bulk of the story set in WWII, but it's not exactly historical fiction either. There are elements of literary fiction too, but that alone can't describe it. "Life After Life" is an original that transcends genres to tell its own story, and its a great one. Atkinson manages to write Ursula's tale with all of the necessary repetitions in it without ever making it repetitious or letting the pace lag. The chapter lengths vary widely throughout. Sometimes Ursula's life is quite short, other times longer, and this creates a lively rhythm. The plot winds around in a Nautilus shell spiral, perfectly shaped and fascinating in its twists and turns. I particularly enjoyed when Ursula began having deja vu like memories from previous lives and began reacting sharply to seemingly innocuous events that lead to her death in previous lives. The most delightful thing about the book for me was trying to see how she origamied all the events and patterns in Ursula's lives to form the whole of the story. This is the best book I have read this year, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Kate Atkinson can apparently do anything as a writer, and I plan to keep reading her. Thanks to the publisher for my advance copy, the gushing is all my own.

Amazing Read!

Stormy Surrender New Hope ebook

Stormy Surrender New Hope ebook

I was so excited to start reading this book. I adore Nicole and her writing... Her last book was so good, so I was ready to dive into another great story...

When I first started reading Stormy I wasn't hooked, in fact I think I might have wanted to throw my reader a few times. I couldn't stand the husband and at first I didn't even like Marti. I couldn't believe that she didn't go off the deep end after what he did to her in the beginning. But as the book moved forward and I got to know Marti a little better I found that I truly liked her. It wasn't that she wasn't a strong woman, and once she started to show her emotions and get angry her true nature finally showed through... Her husband really took the cake when it came to being... well I cannot say the string of profanity I feel about him... Let's just say if he were real I think I'd hunt him down for her... ugh!

So after Marti takes off for New Hope we really start to see the woman that she is and who she is meant to be. She is fun and even slightly sassy and she knows how to dish it out especially when it comes to Joe. I wasn't a fan of his either it took some time to get into his character. After he gives her a small gift and takes her to help her mind clear I was smitten with him... Even though the people in town seemed to think otherwise he was good for her and there when she needed a friend and someone to help pull her through the bad moments.

I loved seeing it slowly build from a friendship into more... Joe was sweet and funny... He made me laugh at his antics at times and others I wanted to smack him upside the head... Marti was caring and loving and everything that Joe needed to help him realize that was ok to let go of the past and be real with someone again. They together made what I thought was a great couple... Two broken souls mending each other in ways neither expected... Until the unexpected ending... I feel that there are some rocky times ahead and I'm not sure where this story will go next but I can only hope that in the end Marti and Joe both find happiness they both truly deserve it...

Nicole's writing gets better with every book.. Sugar Daddy was my first read and I loved it... Hiding Out was even better yet and as Nicole will tell you I am smitten with a certain character from that book... Can't wait for the next in that series either... Every books seems to add more character depth and detail and attention to the story. It's nice to see an author grow better with every book that they release. I highly recommend all of her books, they are all excellent reads!!!!

I proudly give this one 5 stars and I can't wait for more story on Marti and see where her journey leads next...

Arm Hammer Carpet Fresh Eliminator

Arm Hammer Carpet Fresh Eliminator

Minty mojitos, sweet pomegranate, warm apple pie, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, sweet vanilla.

Dogs don't smell like any of the above, especially my beagle.

Weekly baths help de-funkify my beloved pet, but homes with a dog need Arm and Hammer Carpet and Room Pet Fresh Odor Eliminator. I like to sprinkle it all over my carpeting, leave it for a day then vacuum it up. It may cause a few sneezes but that's to be expected. The outcome is a home that smells as fresh as a field of flowers on a warm spring day, and I often picture myself running barefoot through the field. Sometimes I just run barefoot all over my apartment yelling 'Weeeee!' because it's so fresh, but then I trip, bash my face into a wall and end up in the emergency room with a broken nose.

So heed my advice and buy this rug powder. But don't run into walls out of excitement; no carpet freshener is worth a broken nose.

It is fabulous to finally hear from Amanda. After all the other books, tabloids, movies, and websites had their say about Amanda Knox, it is good to finally hear from her (and shocking that some people think she shouldn't write her own book after all that has been said about her). It is clear that she is a warm, articulate, smart, down-to-earth person. It has been clear to me from the beginning that she is 100% innocent. For all those wondering why she would enter the apartment with the door ajar and blood speckles in the bathroom, it would be even more inexplicable for her to enter the apartment if she had actually committed the murder (why would she come back 12 hours later - she would have fled)! If she was the murderer, why in the world would she call Meredith's phone (which led to it being found). I could go on and on, but this isn't the place for that. This is one of the most horrendous stories about justice gone wrong - to be imprisoned is bad enough, add the financial burden, but mostly the media storm that still goes on to this day. Ironic that Amanda has been convicted of slander when she has been slandered more than anyone else I can think of, by the media, other books, etc.

This is also a great story of love from her family and all that they did. Amanda speaks openly about very personal matters. She is apologetic for some of her actions but she just never did anything wrong at all. The police and prosecution and media turned everything she did into something deviant. While I had a great grasp of the facts of the case for the past many years, this certainly has given me a much better sense of Amanda, the person. Her personality, thoughts, emotions all come alive on the pages.

I would hope that larger issues like corrupt prosecutors (here in the U.S. too) refusing to admit errors, false journalism, hate spewed from websites will be addressed after this tragedy though I doubt it will. Seems odd to me that cyberbullying and teenage suicide is taken so seriously, yet people have been cyberbullying Amanda and her family for years. Very sad and tragic. I wish Amanda and her family the very best. And her parents should win Parents of the Year award.

Bravura Account of Quirky Love. Lawrence is Jaw-Dropping.

Silver Linings Playbook

Silver Linings Playbook

The film centers around Patrick (Bradley Cooper), a bipolar person, who has issues. He goes into a berserk mode whenever he hears "My Cherie Amour" like Curly used to do when they played "Pop Goes the Weasel." Of course bipolar people should be introduced to other bipolar people, because you never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

Patrick is introduced to Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who steals every scene with an Oscar worthy performance. Robert De Niro plays Patrick's father, a superstitious Eagles fan, who appears to be slightly bipolar himself. While institutionalized, Patrick learned to look for "the silver lining" in everything in order to cope with life, something he doesn't always do too well. Tiffany has her own issues and together they haphazardly work their way into a relationship.

They should film more movies in Philadelphia as I have never seen the streets so clean. It is a heart warming, fun drama/romance with an indie flavor. Worth a view, but not necessarily on the big screen.

Parental Guidance: F-bombs, no sex, brief nudity.

A bit of good!

A Bit of Bite ebook

A Bit of Bite ebook

There's nothing more enjoyable than reading a fast-paced book that is well written and has great characters. This was a short novella about Ava, a deputy sheriff in rural Louisiana, bent on protecting the humans from the supernatural forces in her county. Problem is, she's already fallen for the super-hot Alpha of the local werewolf pack, Julian, and she tries to fight that throughout the story.

I am hoping this is a smaller bit of a story to a larger, more drawn out story or series of books because these characters are fabulous and I really want to read more about them. If not, I'll be reading more of this author's work because she has a way or writing that makes it easy for the reader to get lost in without having to trip over big, unnecessary words or annoying typos.

OMG I loved it! I have been looking forward to reading Sealed with a Curse ever since I read Cecy Robson Novella The Weird Girls. I enjoyed her written so much. From the moment I opened the book I was drawn into her world and could not put it down. So much action, adventure, and romance blooming.

I enjoy each of the Wird sisters. They all have unique abilities and personalities that add to the story. I just loved Celia in this book. Her funny reportorial kept me laughing thought the book, she is strong, and lonely, but does not let that loneliness stop her from doing what must be done.
Being introduced to the the hunky wolf Aric was great. I loved the connection you see growing between Celia and Aric as well as the other sisters getting set up with their hunky wolfs.

This story has everything a paranormal romance book should have; lots of action, the sisters, love, flirts, smoking hot men and your favorite paranormal beings but most important a lot of fun!

Being introduced to the the hunky wolf Aric was great. I loved the connection you see growing between Celia and Aric as well as the other sisters getting set up with their hunky wolfs.

This story has everything a paranormal romance book should have; lots of action, the sisters, love, flirts, smoking hot men and your favorite paranormal beings but most important a lot of fun!

AWESOME BAG, SIZE IS JUST RIGHT!

Carrot Ab 24021 Polkadot Canvas Backpack

Carrot Ab 24021 Polkadot Canvas Backpack

OMFG!!!!!! Is you are a fan of Sons of Anarchy (which I DEFINITELY am!) then you are going to love, love, love the final book in the Dream Man Series!

I was stoked to find out that Tack was finally getting his own story and this one did not disappoint! After an unbelievable night with the president of Chaos MC Tyra finds herself being kicked out of his bed, and the dismissal really stings. Not only did she this Tack was her dream man, it turns out he's also her boss.

Ms. Ashley wrote Tack to be a serious biker bad ass and all I can say is that I'd be willing to be his Old Lady any day. We get to see Tack's sweet side with Tyra and his kids... His bad ass side with his club and his ex-wife from hell... and his fire breathing dragon side with the Russian Mob.

There is nothing lacking in this story. Suspence, blood, romance, and set-the-sheets-on-fire sex makes Motorcycle Man not only my absolute favorite of the Dream Man Series, but also a total win for any woman who's ever had a bad boy biker fantasy. And I don't know a woman alive who hasn't had that.

A Woman After My Own Heart

Devils Grin Kronberg Crimes ebook

Devils Grin Kronberg Crimes ebook

I already owned a few silk pillowcases (from the "Feeling Pampered" company, purchased from Amazon)-they were reasonably priced and I've loved them so far- so I was already aware that silk pillowcases are awesome. I didn't try purchasing a Spasilk pillowcase until recently because the only color they had available for a long time was just the white one, which I thought was boring. However, once I saw that they'd added a bunch of pretty colors, I figured I'd try this brand out. I already own/use the Spasilk silk washcloths (which are amazing, BTW!), so I was pretty sure the pillowcase would be good as well. Well, I must say, this pillowcase beats the silk pillowcases I purchased from the other brand, in spades! Not only was it a little cheaper (which is always nice!), but the fabric itself is WAAAAYYYY softer and smoother, with sort of a satin-like shininess to it. The material is also a little thicker, with a little more weight to it (my other silk pillowcases are a bit on the thin, flimsy side), which I personally prefer. I purchased the Aqua color and let me tell you, it is the most beautiful shade of blue ever, a lovely pale, soothing shade of Aqua. I've already washed it once (I machine washed in warm water using Woolite and hung it up to dry) and it came out looking good as new and feeling just as smooth and silky as ever. I wish I hadn't purchased the 3 other silk pillowcases from the other company, because these are FAR superior in just about every way possible. I will definitely be purchasing more of the Spasilk cases if/when I need another one (in fact I'm purchasing another one now because they're awesome, and my other flimsy silk cases feel like they're on the verge of crapping out on me, which sucks because I haven't had them that long). SOOOO happy with my purchase, highly highly recommend this pillowcase to anyone looking for a beautiful and affordable silk pillowcase!

Mind Blower

Revenge Not So Pretty Girl Carolita Blythe

Revenge Not So Pretty Girl Carolita Blythe

I was totally captivated reading this riveting international thriller. I was bounced back and forth from the beer gardens and streets of Munich to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. This story kept me totally involved from beginning to end and all points in between.

B.J. is a happily married man, a career in the advertising business and content with his life. He starts to have dreams about a woman named Dabbie who is a stranger to him and as the dreams progress and continue he discovers that he is the man in the dreams with her. When the dreams turn into nightmares they begin to threaten not only his marriage but his sanity and stability as well. Ultimately, as the dreams overpower him, he sets out for Munich to confront his demons head-on. What happens from that point on is an engagingly powerful set of circumstances that will keep you on the edge.

Stan has just arrived in Saudi Arabia to start a new job and to make a new start with his wife. When his wife does not arrive as planned and there is no sign of her very existence his life is turned upside down as he is thrown into and experiences a nightmare of his own.

The characters are extremely well developed and believable. Their frustrations, fears and panic as they set about on their separate journeys will grab you, fill you with compassion and haunt you as the story unfolds.

I highly recommend this book to all readers who like to be totally captivated and swept away.
