Letters coming to and leaving the ship hold key evidence against Tyler, proof he must keep out of the Captain's hands at all costs. Ocean's of Trouble is addicting from the start. I learn new things from reading Casey's books. ![]() It is easy to read and the characters are relatable and likeable. ![]() I absolutely enjoy the author's style of writing. I'm not reading in order, but that doesn't seem to sway my ability to piece the storyline together.

The subjects included diagnosis and treatment of illness, finding hidden items, universal laws, karma, and even past lives. Edgar Cayce had the strange gift of going into a trance-like state and providing answers to questions. It was there he was introduced to classmate Hugh Lynn Cayce, the eldest son of Edgar and Gertrude Cayce. Īfter graduating in 1924 from Naugatuck High School where dancing was "his favorite pastime" according to a yearbook, Sugrue worked briefly as a teller for the Naugatuck Savings Bank, before attending Washington and Lee University in Virginia, where he graduated with bachelor's and master's degrees in English.

There Is a River, originally published in 1942 Life ![]() ![]() ![]() Should Singer decide to write more *hint-hint* it'd be an auto-buy. That should be enough but at the same time I felt I'd just settled down with these characters and the pub door has slammed in my face *pout* - the problem is it's too good ) It ends on a good note, they're starting a relationship strongly, openly, proudly. I want more chance to drool over them myself, a chance to see them as a couple. Very enjoyable read, my only issue is a familiar one - it ends too soon, I want more damnit I want to read of Robin meeting the team, to see Sebastian's knowing smirk when they tell him, to hear more of Robin's past adventures, to stand with Yves at the finishing line and see him drool over Robin's athleticism. The writing is smooth and carries you along. No deep drawn out backgrounds, just enough told through banter to give a feel for the characters. It's a short story that doesn't try to be more than it is, so insta-lust but very nicely done. The little we saw of Sebastian had me wanting more. ![]() There's enough of Yves to suggest he's a nice guy as well as being smoking hot. Robin's personality shines through the narration sweet, quirky and engaging. Watching Rugby has never sounded more appealing and scorching hot! and my general reaction to any sport is glazed eyes, a yawn and grab for the kindle. Well it's a quick read, OK, has personality though little but looks from Yves. ![]() ![]() ![]() See the complete Eon series book list in order, box sets or omnibus editions, and companion titles.

Sometimes though you find that those things you thought were wrong, really aren’t or in the case of the main characters in Strange Bedpersons, sometimes love does conquer all. (Amanda, I think you’d like this one!) The characters are really believable (I think we’ve all been friends with at least one of them in our lives) and isn’t it so darn typical to fall in love with someone who is totally wrong for you? I think we all do that at some point. There’s not much in the hot and steamy category where this book is concerned. It is a fictional story and there’s romance between the two main characters but don’t mistake this for a romance book. ![]() I would definitely pick up another of Crusies’ books. It’s one of those stories where you pretty much know from the get-go what’s going to happen but you’re still wondering how the characters are ever going to get there. If you’re looking for a light-hearted fun read then this is the story for you. It’s witty and interesting and I blew through it in just a couple of hours. ![]() This book is rather short (only 249 pages) and was a very quick read. Her name is Jennifer (Jenny) Crusie and she’s got lots of books out there for your reading pleasure. So I read a really cute book over the weekend by an author I’d never heard of before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Part family story, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is a rich and lyrical memoir of a girl who journeyed into the hive-and found herself.
