The Heaven and Earth Grocery store is the only refuge for the poor black residents and outcast Jewish communities on ChickHill, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The promise of the American Dream is achievable by some. For others, a myth bought and sold on the backs of the marginalized.

Immigrants need not apply. </p><p>The story introduces us to Moshe and Chona Ludlow who own and operate The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, but also two theaters. A deaf black boy is wanted by the state, and the community of ChickHill bans together to keep the child safe from the dangers of bigotry and deceit. </p><p>James McBride has taken us back to a time when social and civil injustices were as common as the rising sun. He has woven together a masterpiece of historical fiction, filled with a collection of quirky neighbors of ChickHill, that show kindness and equality when faced with adversity.</p><p>This book is a shining example of McBride's talent as a prolific writer. His purposeful storytelling brings meaning to a time in American history that most of us would rather forget. A story that only James McBride can tell. </p>The Jag In Reviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00069568233620974683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833681581011988634.post-70025677718529761552024-01-30T19:22:00.000-08:002024-01-30T19:22:55.029-08:00Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LFlVvymojJ7gh0BuL3csd2pniWQH7Otld_egSE1vZJ56jEvMBf56w57C3YyDY7OzalNpiCzA5Ojj2dyNBa2eiuCjeY0f3M7BjnQLZKSzqoaAVkjROHkaQcugsxWjgtAvf4ROL2GcjLT_Ko73i654sXnQSqWtP1xhw47oJSYU-iOlWiHVjNibM8CT8Txk/s940/book1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LFlVvymojJ7gh0BuL3csd2pniWQH7Otld_egSE1vZJ56jEvMBf56w57C3YyDY7OzalNpiCzA5Ojj2dyNBa2eiuCjeY0f3M7BjnQLZKSzqoaAVkjROHkaQcugsxWjgtAvf4ROL2GcjLT_Ko73i654sXnQSqWtP1xhw47oJSYU-iOlWiHVjNibM8CT8Txk/w320-h268/book1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b>Genre:</b> Mystery<div><br /></div><div><b>Publisher: </b>Harper Collins</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Reviewer:</b> JAG</div><div><br /></div><div><b>JAGS:</b> 6</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Those who can't do, teach.</div><div>And Ernie Cunningham is no exception.

The cheeky humor of both characters play out well in some of the story, but overall it drags. The characters are forgettable. The book is forgettable.

There were parts of the story where you were genuinely interested in what was going to happen next, but the humor kills it the moment you get interested. </span></span>The Jag In Reviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00069568233620974683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833681581011988634.post-77331848841196526872017-03-02T18:38:00.000-08:002017-03-02T18:38:00.102-08:00Revival by Stephen King<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Amy brings the camper she and her daughter have been living in to work and immediately hits it off with Bob. Mr. Denton was losing his long time secretary to retirement when Amy showed up.

Sam was married to Haley, who is pregnant with Sam’s child. Haley was never told that Sam had a twin brother. There was a long time of silence between Sam and Stephen once Sam had decided to join the military against Stephen’s wishes all those years ago. Sam’s mother, Miriam never offered any information to Haley either in this regard even at Sam’s funeral. </div><div><br></div><div>There are clear differences in the personalities of the twins. Stephen is more caring and supportive of Haley and her newborn. Haley remembers Sam being very independent and always traveling, making her wonder if he ever really loved her. Stephen is at the right place at the right time when Haley goes into labor and gives birth to a baby girl. Haley is quite surprised because up until now she had reason to believe it was a boy and had a name picked out for him. Now she had no name for the baby girl, but Stephen suggested Katherine Elizabeth, a female Marvel comic hero, which Haley liked, and called her Kit for short. Kit was born six weeks premature and her lungs weren’t fully developed at the time, but she got up to speed in no time.</div><div><br></div><div>In the end, Stephen realizes he sought out Haley and Kit to get to know his long lost brother and remember the good times they had as kids. But, along the way he did fall in love with Haley and she seems to fight him until the end when he does propose and she accepts his marriage proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>The book is a bittersweet story about true love and will keep you reading until the end.

Dr. Billy Jack Tate is a woman doctor in a time when women as doctors were unheard of.</div><div><br></div><div>Dr. Tate tried to get in the Women’s building at the fair where she was to give a speech through the front door, but the Centurion guard would not believe she was a lady doctor and refused to let her in. Some women took her around to the back, to the basement window and propped it open for her to sneak in that way. After managing to get in without hurting herself, she finds herself face to face with another Centurion guard (Hunter Scott).

He turns it over to Dr. Tate to see if she can find the parents and/or provide a home for the child. They both took him to the Hull House which served as a temporary orphanage for some of the children, but it was in the slum areas of Chicago. Hunter and Dr. Tate soon took an interest in cleaning up the slum area and built a playground for the children. The infant boy whom Dr. Tate called “Joey” was adopted one day and Hunter did some research to find the boy was adopted by a millionaire. </div><div><br></div><div>Hunter and Dr. Tate get involved in saving and adopting a 9-year old boy (Derry) who was wrongly accused of murder.

<a href="http://thejagreview.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-interview-with-tosca-lee-author-of.html" target="_blank">Tosca Lee</a> takes us on a journey from the perspective of the only man Jesus

</span>Judas was a scholar of the law, a learned man among the
people of Israel. From the very beginning of Judas life, biblical law and
prophecy surrounded him. His father and older brother were strong opponents to
Roman occupation of the holy land, which influenced Judas greatly, and in doing
so, paved the way for him to meet his future Teacher, Messiah, and Lord.</div>

Liar. Traitor. Reviled throughout history and infamous for his suicide, he is the man whose very name is synonymous with betrayal . . .</div><div><br></div><div>And the only disciple that Jesus called “friend.” </div><div><br></div><div>Judas.</div><div><br></div><div>But who would take a journey through the Lenten season with Judas, of all people?</div><div><br></div><div>The answer: readers of New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee's Iscariot, in which Lee dares to delve into biblical history’s most maligned character—from his tumultuous childhood to his emergence as the man known to the world as the betrayer of Jesus. But more than the story of one man, Iscariot is a view into the life of Jesus that forces readers to reexamine what they thought they knew about two of the most famous—and infamous—religious icons in history.</div><div><br></div><div>The study guide, “A Journey with Judas," is available to book clubs and small groups free along with daily devotionals from now until Easter at toscalee.com.</div><div><br></div><div>Who is Tosca Lee, and why did she choose to write a book on the Bible’s most controversial character? An interview with the award-winning author of Havah: The Story of Eve and the Books of Mortals trilogy (with Ted Dekker) follows.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: How did you start writing biblical fiction?</div><div><br></div><div>A: I kind of fell into it, actually. Around 2000, I wrote this story about a fallen angel. I did it in six weeks. And then it took nearly seven years to sell. When we were doing the deal, the editor said, “What else do you have?” I rummaged around and found one page I had done a year before of a very old Eve starting to tell her story. I don’t know why I started writing that, but I pulled it out and said, “I have this!” And they bought it. It eventually became the prologue to Havah: The Story of Eve.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: Why Judas? Of all people—why did you choose to write about him?</div><div><br></div><div>A: Several years ago, an editor—the same editor who acquired Demon and Havah—suggested a story on Judas. I’d already done a fallen angel and Eve, after all. I flatly refused. Too much research. Too much controversy. Too hard. But the idea started following me around. Finally, about a year later, I was sitting in this New York restaurant eating dinner and found myself scribbling a scene between Judas and his mother on the paper tablecloth. I knew then I was a goner. I realized I wanted to become this disciple Jesus called “friend,” wanted to slip into his skin and sit down next to this enigmatic teacher and healer that people to this day call “Messiah.” I wanted to see and experience him, for myself.</div><div><br></div><div>I tore the scene off, shoved it in my purse, and called my agent a few days later, hoping he would talk me out of it. He didn’t. After two years of research, with much fear and trembling, I started writing.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: Did you always want to be a writer?</div><div><br></div><div>A: Writing was never the plan, even though I’d won some contests growing up in school. Ballet was my first love—I danced with a local ballet company as a teenager and spent my summers studying dance in Kansas City and New York. But within a few years I literally outgrew ballet: I’m nearly six feet tall en pointe. After a torn groin and other injuries, I knew it just wasn’t going to happen. The summer after my freshman year in college, I decided I’d take a stab at writing a novel. I wrote it. It got rejected. It’s still in a crate down in my basement like a skeleton. I’m afraid to look at it. It’s probably got three arms and two heads. </div><div><br></div><div>Q: What’s the coolest thing about writing biblical/historical fiction?</div><div><br></div><div>A: We all know the story of Judas, of Adam and Eve—of myriad other two-dimensional characters we first met as flannel board characters in Sunday School with just the barest detail to define the morality tale of their lives. But if these were real people, then they had hopes, aspirations, influences, and motivations. There’s always more to the story. And that makes them much more like us than we might care to admit. That’s scary. Inevitably—and this happened with Iscariot, too—there comes a point about hallway through the story where I realize I’m no longer writing Judas’ story, or Eve’s… but my own.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: Iscariot has been recognized as a Best Christian Fiction title of 2013 by the Library Journal and has been nominated for several other awards. Why do you think Iscariot resonates with readers?</div><div><br></div><div>A: I think because like Judas, we are all seeking answers. We are seeking some kind of deliverance—maybe not from Roman occupation, but from a situation, or a fear, or a sickness, anything. We are looking for answers, and expecting God to intervene in certain ways. I think we all identify with trying so hard to do the right things, with having expectations for how God will act, and how, if I do this and that, God will do this and that. But it doesn’t always work out that way, and the question becomes how we will respond. I think we all can identify with that. And I think we all find ourselves completely ruined, in the best and worst of ways, by love we cannot understand.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: What do you do when you’re not writing?</div><div><br></div><div>A: I love to adventure travel—whether it’s fishing for piranha in the Amazon or trekking through the Balkans, every now and then I just have to get out of town. And I cook. There was a time when I could burn water and ruin cereal, but today I make a pretty mean quiche and haven’t managed to poison anyone in years.</div><div><br></div><div>Q: What’s next for you?</div><div><br></div><div>A: The Queen of Sheba! I figured it was time to be a girl again.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For more on Tosca and her books, including the free reading guide “A Journey with Judas," go to toscalee.com.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition to this Q&A, Tosca is offering a special give-away to her readers this Easter.

Miller<div>Genre: Fiction/Amish & Mennonite </div><div><br></div><div>Pages: Soft Cover</div><div><br></div><div>Publisher: Howard Books/Simon & Schuster</div><div><br></div><div>Reviewer: Jean Eastwood</div><div><br></div><div>Jags: 8</div><div><br></div><div>This is a captivating and wonderfully-written fictional story about an “Amish” woman named Hope who lost her husband in a tragic farming accident and falls in love again. This book holds your interest and you can’t seem to put it down, wondering what will happen next. </div><div><br></div><div>The story takes place in Holmes County, Iowa. Since her husband died, Hope needs and starts a part-time housekeeping job for Logan, a writer from New York who just bought one of the old “Amish” homes. He starts to have “déjà-vu” feelings about the town, the house next door and the community in general. </div><div><br></div><div>Logan has a fiancé (Marla) back in New York but that relationship does not last very long once he realizes he has fallen in love with Hope and her two children. He goes back to New York to break off the relationship with Marla and catches her cheating on him. He evicts her and puts his New York apartment (worth millions of dollars) back on the market again.</div><div><br></div><div>The ending is quite surprising in that we find out the main character Logan was actually kidnapped when he was a small boy while on vacation with his family in Sarasota, Florida. His name was Joseph then. Logan’s mom makes the long trip back to Iowa with him to apologize to the family next door for kidnapping their son and after a very emotional conversation with the family she is forgiven.</div><div>Hope and Logan get married and have their own child. Logan tries to learn the “Amish” ways to go back to his “Amish” roots and fit in within this community.</div><div><br></div><div>The sporadic insertion of the “Amish” language throughout the book helps the reader visualize the “Amish” culture. Their beliefs are very strong and they rely on the opinion of their Bishop for the moral decisions they need to make in life. This was a great read! </div><div><br></div><div>The Jag Review has received a free copy of this book from Howard Books for our honest review.

Mrs. Duggar actually had a 20th child, a girl, but she was stillborn. All of the children have names that start with the letter “J”. There are 10 boys and 9 girls.</div><div><br></div><div>This book is written by several of the older girls whose names are mentioned above. They are very insightful for being so young. They all have discovered their “vocation” in life and are happily involved in serving others at such a young age. They are happy to share their Christian ways of thinking and living with anyone but especially find it rewarding to work with teenagers who need their guidance.</div><div><br></div><div>I think it is amazing that all of the 19 children play piano and violin and every one can play another instrument as well, like the cello, guitar, mandolin, or harp. All of the children are raised to be very well-mannered. The boys are taught to serve and protect the girls and learned this behavior from watching their dad. They even open the car doors for the girls which you really don’t see very often anymore. </div><div><br></div><div>After reading this book on relationships, I think the Duggar children have a bright future ahead of them. They are obedient and mature for their age. I give credit to the parents for instilling the right behavior at a very early age and make it possible for the children to have emotional and financial support.</div><div><br></div><div>I enjoyed reading the book and it was a fun weekend read.

She also includes all the stories of the homeless she strives to help, champion individuals that would otherwise be swept under the rug. </div><div><br></div><div>During this time, Andrea's convictions strengthen in God, believing she is on the the path that The Lord has chosen for her. She shares all the intimate moments when she felt closest to God, as well as the times she heard Him speak to her without words, reassuring and comforting her in her desicions. </div><div><br></div><div>Incognito was a fast moving story, starting in Andrea's home state of Ohio, and ending in Cambridge. She details her life and relationships, but never really gets to meat of the story, which ultimately takes away from the personalities of the people she interacted with. Couldn't help but feel unfullfilled. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The Jag Review has received a free copy of this book from Howard Books, for our honest review.

It’s during her visit at the Cave of the Swimmers in northern Africa that she falls through a hidden portal, casting her back thousands of years to the ancient city of Carthage. Finding herself the subject of a slave auction, she must put her trust in Cyprian Thascius , a legal advocate for the Bishop and a hidden Christian. Thrown together, they must contend with many obstacles in their path fight for the freedom of themselves as well as their household. Can their love possibly survive the onslaught that awaits them? </div><div><br></div><div>Healer of Carthage is a story that intertwines present day life, especially that of medicine, with the tumultuous past. It is a time of religious persecution, slavery and disease without medicine. The story encompasses faith, love, betrayal and courage. </div><div><br></div><div>The writing style is done in perfect form, flowing nicely from page to page. The content is somewhat disappointing as the characters did not come to life as well as they could have, nor did the ambience of the past fill the pages. Still, the story is worth the read, filled with growing romance, suspense, and a journey to the past. </div><div><br></div><div>The Jag Review has received a free copy of this book from Howard Books, for our honest review.

She hasn’t seen her father in over ten years and doesn’t even know if he is still alive. He has never answered any of her letters.</div><div>Susannah is a cotton farmer in Texas and lives with her young daughter Rebecca and nephew Levi who are a tremendous help with the farming and chores. It is time to take the cotton to harvest and get enough money to make it through another year. The local cotton buyer renegotiated on his original offer from 4 cents a pound to now only two cents a pound. Susannah told him that was way too low of a price to pay. She decided to load her cotton and hire a helping hand by the name of Henry Buckmeyer to take her family and cotton to the town of Jefferson where they were paying 6 cents a pound. </div><div><br></div><div>There definitely is an adventure waiting to be experienced in this book. I could not put the book down for more than a day, and could not wait to find out what happens next. Henry, Susannah, Levi, Rebecca and Blue Dog begin a long suspense-filled journey of two mule-driven cotton-loaded wagons over hills and rivers, fighting off wolves, drunks, thieves, gypsies, bad weather and snakes to get to Jefferson to sell their cotton.</div><div><br></div><div>Once they get there, the cotton buyers have bought enough cotton and will return in nine days. Henry saves the day by selling the mules, making deals with the locals, and getting their cotton to New Orleans where they get 10 cents a pound for their cotton. With the money they get, they travel to Memphis, Tennessee to see Susannah’s father and get his blessing to marry Henry whom she has fallen in love with and he with her. Her father is still alive and gives his only daughter his blessing to marry Henry who has become “born again”. They get married at her father’s home in Memphis while visiting him. </div><div><br></div><div>Excellent read! Easy to read and follow, keeps your suspense and can actually make you cry!

It is during this time that Nissa and Longinus are pulled together unexpectedly, and thrown into the spiral of events that lead to the mysterious stranger’s arrest, trial and crucifixion. </div><div><br></div><div>The Thief started out very well. Mouse and Nissa were especially lively and engaging characters, keeping the reader wanting more of them. Once Jesus made an appearance, the story veered too far for this reader. Perhaps being all too familiar with the stories of the bible, I already had a mental picture of certain characters imagined and revisiting it through the eyes of another did not sit well for me. For this reader, the merging of biblical and fictional characters did not merge as well as I would anticipate. As for style, the author definitely has a flair for writing. Her characters are lively and engaging, keeping the reader wanting more.</div><div><br></div><div>The Jag Review has received this copy of this book from Howard Books for our honest review.

As America is fighting for its very freedom during the Revolutionary War, Socialite Peggy Shippen, swayed by thoughts of royalty and riches, has placed her loyalty with the Brits.</div><div><br></div><div>After being abandoned by Major John Andre, she sets her sights on General Benedict Arnold. A man crippled from war and twice her age, Arnold falls for her cunning and deception. After they are married, Peggy becomes even more calculating as she teams up with Major John Andres once again. Believing a life of royalty awaits her, she convinces her husband to betray America and the freedom it offered.</div><div><br></div><div>Clara Bell, Peggy Shippen Arnold’s maid, is privy to the conspiracy. With her belief in the nation at hand, and refusing to lose the freedom it offered, she must risk everything and intervene in the plot before the Red Coats take control of West Point and capture General George Washington. </div><div><br></div><div>The Traitor’s Wife is a very good read. It merges fact with fiction, keeping your mind open to various aspects of Benedict Arnold’s life and the events that led up to his act of treason. The question being, was Peggy Shippen Arnold the mastermind behind it? Perhaps we will never know, but Allison Pataki does an excellent job of humanizes and bringing about another perspective into Arnold’s life. </div><div><br></div><div>The story is filled with engaging characters and universal emotions that can never be dated.

Worse, her marriage to Scott, a businessman in a high-stress job, is stagnating. In a dire need to confide to someone, she stumbles across a virtual website that allows her to custom-make an friend who she can confide in.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Soon, she has a virtual re-creation of her best friend who has passed away years earlier. It is only a matter of time before she is able to rekindle her past friendship over the web. Scott, who witnesses his wife’s joy and fulfillment with her new found friend online, decides to explore the same website. Unbeknownst to his wife, Scott’s career is taking a turn for the worst and the day to day stress is mounting. He creates a female avatar and begins to share things he could never tell his wife. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Little do either of them realize, Melissa a raging psychotic, is not only the mastermind behind the software, but she is also manipulating Rachel and Scott without their knowledge. Soon, the intimate online relationship becomes a fatal attraction, leaving both of them to fight for not only their marriage, but their lives.</div><div><br></div><div>From the first page, the story grabbed my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat. The Characters are true-to-life facing the same issues many couples of today are. Then the author interweaves another faction, bringing in virtual computer software. The entire time you are reading, you’re wondering about the people who actually create these types of programs and what makes them tick. Are they crazy like Melissa? Did they have ulterior motives when they devised their plans? It leaves you more cautious about the information you give and the people you befriend on the web. John Faubion did an excellent job on this novel. </div><div><br></div><div>The Jag Review has received a free copy of this book from Howard Books for our honest review.

Described in the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Gut-Breakthrough-Eliminating-Revolutionizing/dp/0062075861" target="_blank">Clean Gut</a>, it seems in today’s world sickness
and disease look as if<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it is out of
control. <a href="http://www.cleanprogram.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Alejandro Junger</a> excellently explains how a clean gut can actually
cure most of today’s aliments. He came to this conclusion after several years
following the standard marching orders of the current medical field mentality
of sweeping the underline problem aside and focuses on curing the symptom instead
of the disease. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.cleanprogram.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Junger</a> shows how the gut is the stem of all health
problems. With just a change of diet, say good-bye to fatigue, blood pressure,
diabetes and several other full blown illnesses. With just a minor life-style
change on our consumption habits, even the medication prescribed by Doctors can
be minimized or all together avoided. He also details a well thought out plan
of action by eliminating foods that cause most of these types of health related
issues. <a href="http://www.cleanprogram.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Junger</a> assures us in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Gut-Breakthrough-Eliminating-Revolutionizing/dp/0062075861" target="_blank">“Clean Gut”</a> that a change into our diet, all
aspects of physical and mental health will change for the better. Over 70% of
illness is preventable. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Gut-Breakthrough-Eliminating-Revolutionizing/dp/0062075861" target="_blank">Clean Gut</a> is a book that should be a must read for everyone.
For me, <a href="http://www.cleanprogram.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Junger</a> hit the nail on the head. All his information made absolute
sense. Assessing my own diet, I realized that I could be taking better care of my
health both mentally and physically. Just using his simple advice on what few
foods that should be on everyone’s “no” list, the benefits seem almost instantaneous.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone should read this book and take charge of their health.
Individually, we are the only ones who can judge the change that takes place
after minor modifications to our diets. This information is vital to all who
want a better quality of life. </div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Assassin-Brad-Meltzer/dp/0446553980" target="_blank">In The Fifth Assassin</a>, it seems a copycat assassin is on the loose on the streets
of Washington D.C. and Beecher White is on the case. Targeting clergy in the
area, the killer is imitating the assassinations of former U.S. Presidents to
the very last detail. Beecher, a historian working at the National Archives,
must now figure out if the original Assassins from history past were working
alone, or if a larger conspiracy was involved. He has his work cut out for him
as he races to unmask the killer before the fifth assassination can take place.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As figures from his past begin to show up on the scene, and
bitter memories rise to the surface of his mind leaving him vulnerable and open
to danger, Beecher must determine if one of these former friends is actually
the killer. </div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Assassin-Brad-Meltzer/dp/0446553980" target="_blank">The Fifth Assassin</a> kept me guessing. My mind was continuously
wondering how the puzzle was going to be pieced together. The further I read
into the story, the better I got to know and understand the characters and the
reasoning behind their actions. At one point, I was torn between the guilt of
rooting for the villain and didn’t want to perceive them in a negative light.
This latest <a href="http://thejagreview.blogspot.com/2011/10/inner-circle-by-brad-meltzer.html" target="_blank">Brad Meltzer</a> sequel to his earlier work <a href="http://thejagreview.blogspot.com/2011/10/inner-circle-by-brad-meltzer.html" target="_blank">The Inner Circle</a>, takes you
on an adventure into the past the details involving the assassination of former
U.S. Presidents. </div>

home for me. The author is from Appleton, Wisconsin. His family
owns a log cabin in Northern Wisconsin. The author (Richard Lawrence Spoo)
describes the log house and its surroundings in vivid detail. </div>

I was unaware there were so many different kind of owls and
the unique sound each one makes. I also did not know there were Aspen trees
anywhere in Wisconsin. I thought those were only found out west in Colorado. Another
favorite wood used in the fireplace was “cherry” wood.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The author, through his choice of words, paints a serene
picture of the quiet, star-lit nights up north and how he survives in this old “haunted”
log house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book was a quick read and had some interesting facts
for Northeastern Wisconsinites. </div>

orange and white lovable tabby cat “Tabitha”. It was only on a visit to the
veterinarian that she found out Tabitha was a “he”, not a “she”. The cat’s name
then became “T”, “Mr. T”, or Special T.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Jessie”,

friend, the author discovers that her cat had had several owners since her
kitten days. This friend had called the cat “Sweetie Cat” and had to give her
away years later to the pastor and his wife. The pastor and his wife had owned
the cat for several years after that and their kids had called him “Cowboy”. Another
nickname for the cat was “Reds” because of the large red freckle on the left
side of his nose.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.tamarajmadison.com/" target="_blank">Kentucky Curdled</a> is book of poetry with prose that is deep
and meaningful, which the author describes in great detail in the essay portion
of the her work. Each of the poems reflects on the strange death of a young
community member.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The author uses a different style of poetry<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"> <span lang="EN">based on the format, rhyme scheme
and subject matter</span></span>, including short sentences, short phrases, and
rhyme. The unusual layout in certain poems lends a thought provoking style that
<a href="http://wwwtamarajmadison.com/" target="_blank">Tamara Madison</a> executes perfectly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I especially liked the “essay” at the end which describes
the reason for the different type of poetry layout.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a quick read as well. You could finish it in a few
hours but may want to revisit it again because there is a lot of meaning and
hidden truths involved. Definitely a treasured purchase. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a true story written by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Life-Deth-Discovering-Meaning/dp/1451699883" target="_blank">David Ellefson</a> about his
life as a musician. He grew up in the Midwest (Minnesota) as a son of a farmer
who had no interest in learning the family trade. His goal was only to be a
great musician. At a young age he taught himself bass guitar which proved to be
very beneficial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As all “rock-n-roll” bands experience a period of drug
abuse, David and his band Megadeth were no different. Essentially David was
homeless for several years because he spent all of his money on cocaine and
heroin. David has a revelation with G.O.D. which he defined as “good, orderly
direction” and his life changed 180 degrees. He got married, had children and
became a great dad. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After heavy metal
music lost its lure, he left the band to work for the Peavey Corporation for 7
years selling musical equipment to bands. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
