So naturally I had to go out and download a copy of this for my Kindle. She was right too. It is jammed packed with really great information. This book is great for any type of writer. It does not matter whether you are a Romance Writer or a Mystery Writer. Even those who write Non-fiction would benefit from what is in this book(less)

It covers in an overview fashion everything from releasing your book in eBook form to print edition. Along with marketing techinques that didn't work for the author to everything that did, this book tells you a little of what not to do when you release your book along with what is a waste of money.(less)

This is a funny story about two people who despertly try Not to fall in love with each other.
I recieved this book as a Secret Santa gift. It was such a great read I passed the book on to a co-worker who I am sure will enjoy this story too.
I will be looking forward to reading more books by Rachel Gibson in the future.(less)

Charles Timm does have a good plot in this story but his writing style is awkward making the story hard to read.
Should this story were receive a good edit and the writing style were to become smoother I would be more than happy to give it another read and re-evaluation.
But because of the stinted dialogue and prose I can only give it 2 **

I highly recommend this book to all “Once Upon a Time” fans.
This book is very much on the same concept as the TV series mentioned above. It is where the author, Alex Flinn takes several different fairy tales and gives them a different perspective on what they were all about, from the view point of a witch, known as Kendra.
My favorite tale in the book was about Emma and Lissette.

This legal thriller is suspenseful. The first few chapters were very slow reading, but well worth the buildup of the storyline. I am glad I stayed with it.

After reading the first work in this book I lost interest rather quickly. The cat was asleep before I finished the first paragraph. But he sleeps through anything any ways.
The only thing I found I did not like about the book was it lacked the humor I kind of expected I would find in such a book. Why would I expect humor from this book is beyond me. But there was none in the first two stories. It lacked the hook to keep me reading after this point.
I received this book in a Members’ Giveaway on Library Thing.

This was the first suspense thriller I have read in quite some time. I found it enjoyable and hard to put down. It was such a good tale, I can’t give you any spoilers; you will need to read this book yourself. In the future, I plan on checking out more books by Anne Frasier (Author) and Theresa Weir (Author).

Amanda Hocking has a wonderful imagination. This fast paced story about zombies, lions, and tigers kept me reading almost non-stop. I don’t think there was a moment in the book where I ever found I had lost interest in the story. The fact that this is the first zombie book I have ever read and I just could not stop reading. I will be definitely investigating the rest of her books in the near future.

The hook for me was lost during the first few chapters. Too much prose and not enough action. I think this will make it hard for children who are not avid readers to finish reading this book. I set the book down with hopes to go back and finish it and have only found that I have lost total interest in the book. I give the author 2 stars for effort.(less)

Once again Debora Geary has given us another modern tale about witches. Hidden Witch gives us that taste of modern witchcraft with the introduction to a new type of magic. This kind of magic never once crossed my mind, I kind of thought it would be a different gift. The author did a great job at keeping the magic hidden and the reader guessing. In this story Elorie, who comes from a very long line of witches is upset with herself for never developing any kind of magic talent until it is discovered by some very special magical computer software. This is a good read and I recommend this book to all. (less)

I really enjoyed this tale. It is quite long but well worth the read. Joseph Lallo has a really unique way of telling a story. Those who love fantasy will really enjoy this story as well. I could tell you the details about this story but I refuse to give any spoilers. Instead I will only quote the author by telling you the given synopsis describing the book. "Product Description Myranda is a young woman more interested in staying alive than being a hero. Orphaned by a continent-spanning war that has gone on for decades too long and shunned for failing to support it, she has been on the move since she was only a child. One can hardly blame her when she thinks that the chance discovery of a fallen soldier's priceless cargo is the moment that will change her life. No one could predict just how great that change would be. It will lead her through an adventure of rebels and generals, of wizards and warriors, and of beasts both noble and monstrous. Each step of the way will take her closer to the truth of her potential, of the war, and of the fate of her world." You got to read this book is all I can say from here!

I love the facts and tidbits the author included with some of the recipes. Never thought I would put a cook book on my kindle. Now I am glad I found this one. I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes, especially the Turkey soup, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, and the barley soups. I rate this book with 5 stars for the easy to read format and the fact that there is 300 recipes included in this book (less)

I did struggle past the first chapter and found myself a little bit lost at first by what he was trying to convey with his scene on the comets. The reader will eventually find out what the comets are all about later on in the book. It does have a pretty good hook after the second chapter and I was late getting back to work on a few occasions. I just didn’t want to put this book down after I got past the gritty stuff. The ending is kind of a cliff hanger but I was satisfied enough with the ending to give this book four stars. I will even be reading the next book in the series. (I did like it that much.)
