Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe
Miyuku Miyabe really should wear a t-shirt that reads, “I’m huge in Japan.” Her hugely popular, best-selling works have barely made it across the ocean, and it is difficult to understand why. Brave Story might be the book that changes that. At over 800 fun-filled ...

Interest Rates are Rising
It turns out that the fears of inflation are starting to come true. We have been advising clients for some time now that this summer rates would begin to inch up due to inflationary concerns. In fact this has been the subject matter of our last three newsletters as well as some of my blog posts and other online commentary.

Is now the time to buy investment properties?
Although it appears that there are great deals to be had, my advice for the average person is to stay on the sidelines and leave investments in the real estate market to the professionals. My reason for this cautionary approach is that I do not believe we are close to a bottom in the market. Second, I also believe that today’s real estate market is reminiscent of the early 90’s. People who bought houses in 1989 and 1990 thinking they got a bargain that they could turn in a year or two were surprised.

Summertime and the reading is breezy
When I was growing up, I lived for summer vacations and all the glorious free time it represented for me to bury my nose in a book. There was a library within walking distance of our house that could easily have become my home-away-from-home. I’d check out the maximum number of titles that I could (I think the limit was three), read them all by bedtime (and sometimes even under the covers with my Girl Scout flashlight), and then be back the next day as soon as the doors opened to check out three more.

Similar to other fantasy or medieval romances
Wow, what an amazing book! She can sure write. This is the first book by Victoria Graydale but definitely, it won't be her last.
It starts with Kendra being kidnapped by Adrian. It's a mistake, one he is ordered to undo by Cedrik by killing Kendra. The problem is Kendra is smart enough to talk her way out of this one and instead hires him to help Lady Millie.
Great book! Loved it. Didn't want it to end.
If they made a movie:
I know Mel Gibson is sort of out of fashion but I think he would do for Adrian.

To this day, I still do not know who gave me this book. It has a big blue cover with a gorgeous front design on it.
Then, I opened it. I read and read and read and read this book. I think supper burned but oh well because I wasn't going to put this book down.
I brought this book to my book club meeting and of course, we assigned it a date. It was totally amazing because most of the same people said the same thing, 'totally capivating'.
I couldn't agree more.
Here's the review:
If they made a movie:
Tanner Thornburg would have to be played by a younger version of Harrison Ford.

The perfect book for generations of women to bond over!
By:
Kathleen
Movie Girl is a quick, comforting, hilarious read for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, or anyone who remembers what it is like to have a hopeless crush. High school sophomore, Laurie Preston, idolizes a senior boy named Artie and plans every minute of her day scheming to run into him in hopes that he will finally realize that they are meant to be together. This is a heartwarming book that teenagers will relate to or that older generations can reminisce over. Christina Hamlett artfully creates a universal story while maintaining originality through her developed characters.

Loved Your Last Picture
By:
Christina Hamlett
Amidst the bright lights of Tinseltown, the line between fantasy and reality is often a blurry one. Unlike an earlier era when movie stars and TV personalities were accorded a certain measure of privacy whenever they stepped away from the cameras, we’ve become a society that’s obsessed with knowing every intimate detail about those whom we’ve placed on celebrity pedestals.
If they made a movie:
Jennifer Aniston, Peri Gilpin, Matthew McConoughey

Profoundly Moving

Andrew Bridge has produced an absolutely extraordinarily first time book and memoir about a childhood in foster care and a mother too flawed to keep him but who loved him desperately. As deeply beautiful story of overcoming adversity.
