Just the cover of this upcoming knitting book had me clamoring to pick it up. What better then to mix star wars and knitting. Luckily Knits for Nerds goes way beyond just Star Wars. The book is divided into sections such as Fantasy, Comics and Magna, and Science Fiction. Here you will find projects like Hobbit Feet Slippers (fake hair included), dragon rider gloves, and my personal favorite the Star Trek: the Next Generation sweater. Patterns Range from easy to hard, and even if you don’t know how to knit, you will want to pick up the book just to browse through. Who knows, maybe we can get all our geeks and nerds together and pass on an age old craft that requires quite a bit of math.

Nicola Cormick has put forth book five in here Women of the Ton series.

This story revolves around political cartoonist Lady Tess Derant and former political prisoner Owen Purchase (viscount Rothbury).

This is not the story of a smooth courtship, but rather of trial and despair as Tess tries to put the past behind her and do what is right for her family and herself.

Over all not a bad read but parts are very reminiscent of some previous title. But that feeling only exists in a few chapters and not across the whole book. I give this book a four out of 5 stars.

I will preface this by saying that I usually like Sharon Sala. This title just rubbed me the wrong way. Beth is on the run from the Mob who wants her dead. She heads back to her family home on Rebel Ridge, this small country town where everyone is related. And I mean everyone. Beth was in love with her cousin by marriage Ryal when they were teenagers. They meant everything to each other a decade ago, but what will happen now. Beth needs the safety of her family if she expects to grow old, but her family was not approving of her relationship with Ryal. If the author had just mentioned once or twice that the main characters are cousins by marriage, it would not have been that bad, but it is something that is constantly played up. “Hey were cousins, and this is wrong”. That alone just made the story too hard to read. You just could not get away from that information. Overall this is a book I could leave behind on a plane and not care.

Lately Heather Graham has been writing ghost story romances, and I like them. I’m not biased or anything. This story takes us to San Antonio, home of the Alamo. Logan Raintree is a Texas Ranger on the case of what he believes to be a serial killer. He is asked to join a special FBI team, or at least work with them for this case. People know there’s something special about him, maybe just not exactly what. Kelsey O’Brien is in a similar situation, and is teamed up with Logan. With help of friends only they can see, they will get to the bottom of the case. I have already mentioned that I liked this book. It’s a quick read that keeps you entertained, and it’s not completely predictable.

Based on the description this title was not what I thought it would be. Former child singing star Syrene has a sirens voice that she has been afraid of for years. But Oz needs her help to get back his kidnapped son. He will do what ever it takes to get her help. Once you get into the story it flows and moves well, but I just did not care for it that much.

What is the worst thing that could happen to a bride on her wedding day? No it is not spilling red wine all over the white dress, it’s having your fiancé die minutes before your wedding. Now five years later Alessandra is known around town as the Nun of Napa because she carries everyone’s grief over her lost love. Alessandra and her sisters own a winery that is about to close its door forever unless they can make their new wedding location a reality. They will need help from the Penn Bennett, a neighbor, a popular home improvement TV host and a total hottie. Bennett is the illegitimate child of Clive Bennett and he is just trying to figure out his place in this new family as well as get over being caught in a womanly scam. Together the two of them will have to decide if true love exists, or if it can ever be found a second time. Overall a fun book. It is predictable, and there is a second story going on with Alessandra’s best friend Clare, but it’s a cute read that was just perfect for Valentines Day.

Arizona Storm used to be a trailer in a human trafficking ring. She was used and unlike most survivors, she did not go hide under a rock. Instead she is out for revenge and to help other people in the same impossible situation. Spencer Lark is a bounty hunter. His previous experience with a trafficking case made him the perfect person to help Arizona bust this newest ring. While Arizona wants nothing to do with men, and is only out for fights and revenge, she can not help be drawn to the specimen of man that is Spencer. He makes her wonder if relations can be as great as she has read about between a man an a woman, and not just the painful degradation that she was once forced upon her. This story has a quick pace and a good story. It would probably be more helpful to read the whole series in order, but Perfect Storm can hold its own as a stand alone.

Follow a dog as he goes though his day in an up sort of way. From lift up, to sit up this easy to read picture books is just the thing for little kids who love dogs.

Spiders bite is the first book in the Elemental Assassins series. Do not let the cover fool you, this is not your typical female lead urban fantasy/romance novel. In fact while it does have some guy and girl action that is not the point of the novel at all. Gin is an assassin and she likes her job (most of the time). Her mentor sends her out on one last assignment, which turns out to be a set up. So now she has to team up with the cop investigating her mentor’s murder. Not only to get revenge, but save her self at the same time. This is a fast paced, fun read, and while its not currently well known it deserves to be!

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a Disney direct to DVD movie? Well that what you get with this title. The funny things is they even mention a “Disney movie life” during this story. It is the last day before school is dismissed for Christmas break. Lila is looking foreword to seeing her boyfriend Erik and having the year’s best party. The kink in the plans is set in notion after a fight with her brother Cooper. Cooper takes off with his friend Tyler to the North Pole to save Santa. Tyler’s brother Beau is Lila’s ex boyfriend and they are on a wild goose chase after their siblings. The story is predictable, but fun. A light hearted holiday novel.
