This is not the first time I have read ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN BY WOODWARD & BERNSTEIN and it probably wont be the last,but it is the first time I've done a review of it. Each time I read this book I keep telling myself that this is history not historical fiction. It READS like fiction. Where else could it come from I ask myself if not fiction but folks IT'S REAL, IT HAPPENED !
We do not see this kind of reporting anymore , journalists hell bent on finding out the TRUTH is as dead as Jacob Marley! Nowadays its reporters reading from a script.
Woodward & Bernstein started out doing their job,reporting on a burglary of the Democratic Headquarters in Watergate Apartments and ended up exposing the corruption of our government and the President at the time Richard Nixon.
An excellent example of what real journalism should be & an example of the corruption of government that STILL exists even today!

DYING ART
DYING ART BY SHIRLEY WELLS is what I call an easy mystery. The start of the book is really SLOW to say the least. By halfway thru I had guessed the who done it. Granted this is the first book of the series I have read so maybe I needed to read others before really appreciating DYING ART.

HELP ME! MY GUIDE TO THE IPAD AIR2 BY CHARLES HUGHES
I bought this book HELP ME! MY GUIDE TO THE IPAD AIR 2 BY CHARLES HUGHES because I just DID buy a new ipad air 2 and wanted some guidance on the newer version of ipad. I was rather disappointed in it. This book was more welcome to the Ipad book not anything new that I did not know having the first generation of Ipad. In other words this book is ok if you have never owned an Ipad but if you have its pretty much the same information .

SANCTUARY BAY BY LAURA J BURNERS AND MELINDA METZ
Sarah Merson doesnt know why she was chosen to be a student at Sanctuary Bay. She is bright but not gifted,she's a trouble maker(so her teachers say) & she's an orphan,not from a wealthy home.So why does the school ask her to come free of charge ? Why are students disappearing during the night and what is really going on at SANCTUARY BAY?
Truly excellent! I am NOT a YA but I still enjoyed SANCTUARY BAN BY LAURA J BURNS. The book is fast paced the characters could be real. I found myself reading fast so I could keep up with the action. Incredible plot and a conclusion that I did not see coming!

THE CONSULTANT BY BENTLEY LITTLE
EXCELLENT! BENTLEY LITTLE AT HIS BEST!
I have read ALL of Mr.Littles books and have come to the conclusion that the man is beyond WEIRD! Thus describes his latest book, THE CONSULTANT. A fast and strange read by a very strange man!
CompWare computer software is in deep trouble both financially and morally , and the only one who sees what's going on is Craig Horne.
CompWare has hired a consultant to evaluate and make recommendations on how to restructure the company, or so the Board of Directors and the employees thought. From the moment Mr. Patoff appears things start going weird. People are dying, and no one really knows who or what Mr. Patoff is but they know its bad news!
If you are really into the world of strange, this book is a must read. It rated about a 20 on my weird o meter!

TRICKY TWENTY TWO BY JANET EVANOVICH
TRICKY TWENTY TWO BY JANET EVANOVICH is another in the Stephanie Plum series. I know some people are REALLY tired of Stephanie and the gang but believe me they are a whole lot cheaper and safer than psych meds! I can still find myself laughing at Stephanie & Lulu's antics which is a great stress reliever and mood alterer.
In Tricky Twenty two, Morelli dumps Stephanie(she's depressed and has a big zit because of it) Steph's cars blow up she hunts the bad guys, eats lots of donuts and is still very attracted to Ranger (who isnt?)

BAKING WITH THE BRASS SISTERS:OVER 125 RECIPES FOR CLASSIC CAKES,PIES COOKIES,BREADS DESSERTS AND SAVORIES FROM AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOME BAKERS BY MARILYNN & SHEILA BRASS
BAKING WITH THE BRASS SISTERS:OVER 125 RECIPES FOR CLASSIC CAKES,PIES COOKIES,BREADS DESSERTS AND SAVORIES FROM AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOME BAKERS BY MARILYNN & SHEILA BRASS
One does not read a cookbook,one browses and drools over cookbooks,this one is no exception. Not only are you treated to some of the most wonderful recipes but the photos of the food made me want to bake up a storm. The book is very well put together. Not only do you get recipes but little sweet tips to help make baking a little more special. One of the first chapters of the book is HOW TO USE THIS BOOK. Useful tips prep ideas etc. This one is well worth the cost of the book (Hardback so its going to last awhile)

THE TWO FAMILY HOUSE BY LYNDA COHEN LOIGMAN
THE TWO-FAMILY HOUSE BY LYNDA COHEN LOIGMAN is about two sister in laws Helen and Rose. Both live in the same house,one married to Abe the other married to Mort. One has all daughters one has all sons. Both end up pregnant at the same time, carry the babies at the same time and have the babies at the same time, and both have a secret.
The book progresses very quickly. Solid real characters. Everyday people everyday lives. I loved it. So real so believable and an ending that may or may not surprise you.

BREAKOUT BY KEVIN SCOTT OLSON
BREAKOUT BY KEVIN SCOTT OLSON is a short story 35 pages. It is 35 pages of high action! The pace of the story is fast,fast,fast & I truly wished it was a whole lot longer because I really was getting into this one! Great plot but as I said before it could have been longer. If you like your books full of action,and danger BREAKOUT is for you.

A REFUGE AT HIGHLAND HALL BY CARRIE TURNASKY
A REFUGE AT HIGHLAND HALL BY CARRIE TURANSKY is the only book I have read in the trilogy. But it was easy to follow and could be a stand alone book.
Penny Ramsey is living with her sister and brother in law in London as the book opens. Its 1915 and her sister and her husband have taken war orphans into their home and lives. At the beginning Penny meets and falls in love with the dashing Alex Goodwin, handsome and a pilot getting ready to fight Germans in the air.
The style and atmosphere of WWI comes out in Carrie's writing. As a historical fiction junkie, I could see the grounds of Highland Hall as if I was there. The people, the destruction and the lives of this fictional family came alive to me on the pages of A REFUGE AT HIGHLAND HALL. Blended with Christian devotionals it was a breath of fresh air to me.
