Many women fantasize about two men sexually at once, but it’s only the lucky ones who get to live it. Katie Warren is such a woman. On a trip to the country she meets her favorite painter and his long -time lover. She’s drawn into a life size painting of two men and a woman in an erotic scene. These two men give Katie a chance to be the woman in the painting and she jumps in with both feet. But can it be more than just a vacation fling? As always De Costas books are well written, exciting and titillating.

This is just too cute. An alphabet book that finds a rhyme to match all twenty-six pirates (And Letters). All are “real” names and nothing made up to make the rhymes work. Love it

David Catrow makes every book better and unfortunately this book needs it. While the story perfectly describes my cousins and I growing up, I find the story overly long. Plus there seems to be no cadence when read aloud. You would almost find a groove and then it would be lost with the turn of a page.

I love this book. Goat is upset because he does something he thinks is awesome and Unicorn does something better. When the two meet up the Unicorn points out that he’s not so great and that the goat has his own awesome qualities. Perfect book!

I dare you to try and count the monkeys. It’s not easy, those things hide pretty well. This would make an excellent book for story time.

Payton has her own personal hero in Finn McBain. He saved her from drowning at age five, was later an Olympic swimming star, and is now an uber agent coming to her rescue yet again. Her boss wants her silenced after she made a recording of his sexual harassment. I have long been a fan of Mrs. Garwood and this title seems… simple compared to other titles. It tries hard to be both a romance and suspense but fails at the second half. Overall this story is good but I know she can do better.

This is a collection of Pearls before swine strips. It’s fun and entertaining. I like to see the strips are in color. The best part is the introduction by the rat.

This book is full of floor plans for small houses. Everything you READ is fabulous but that’s where things end. First off change the cover. The galley cover looks dated and does not pop from the page. The hand drawn house illustrations are great but how about some pictures of houses that have been made from these plans. Seeing plans for compact houses is one thing but seeing the real life brings home how livable these structures are.

This is the most interesting life cycle book I have ever read. It all starts with a jack-o-lantern. After Halloween it gets various visitors, different types of mold and some funky slime. Great pictures illustrate each stage and a glossary helps young readers unfamiliar words.

This is nothing like I thought it would be. It’s mysticism and finding the true you. A new-age type of self-help, but reachable to the more modern fashionista.
