I read a book not too long ago named "The Green Rider." It was quite good.  It's a fantasy book about a young woman who has to take a message to the king while persued by dark forces.
There are two more books after that one; "The First Rider's call," and "The High King's Tomb."  I highly recomend the series, although there's still another book on the way. I have yet to read "The High King's Tomb."

Challenge: Can anyone recommend any great books that are fairly to all-the-way happy? I've asked a ton of my literary friends, and it's harder than it sounds. Everyone loves a poignant drama:)

-- Once upon a time . . . Recently I read THIS BLESSED MESS by Patricia Livingston, a gift from my mom.  Chaos is inherent in life & leads to love & creation.  One of author's favorite quotes is Yogi Berra's "It ain't over til it's over."  AN EQUAL MUSIC by Vikram Seth is an exquisite novel.  When I returned it to library I borrowed John Steinbeck's SWEET THURSDAY.  I think it's a sequel to CANNERY ROW.  Now I'm going to listen to Franz Schubert's beautiful "Trout Quintet."  The End --

 Book Reviews

by Barbara Hudson

I enjoyed the premise. I felt the author was attempting to write in a style similar to Robert Crais and David Baldacci. The author has his own unique style and is obviously on his way to write many more good spy-action novels.

by Carmela Hammie

I want to say that when I read the book it's as if I was watching the movie. It's simply incredible how the author did this. To actually envision the car chase in Rome and especially the love scenes on Berhala Beach was simply spectacular.  It's definitely the new American Bond movie. It's a must read novel.

Just a reminder that you can help support organizations that help poor people arounf the world by donating unwanted stuff to charity shops for resale. Oxfam - a charity that is working to reduce global poverty and suffering created by war, climate change and global warming has recycled second hand books on sale in its shops which supports their important work.

Crossing Borders - Cultural misunderstandings, crazy and dangerous situations, inter-cultural friendships, love and disappointment and the excitement of exploring. "Crossing Borders" tells the story of living and becoming an adult in a foreign country away from friends and family. This narrative is not a simple travel log of pondering curiosities, it unites the weirdest, most interesting and funniest experiences from twelve years living abroad. The story starts out with the author's experiences of his first adventure in the heart of Europe-in German speaking Austria. Dreams of going to study at the Viennese Academy of Music go up in smoke when the protagonist fails the entrance exam. The protagonist not only ends up living in a mountain village in the Alps, but also discovers traits and virtues in his new Austrian friends that he never thought possible. From almost getting shot in Cairo, having his bride kidnapped on their wedding day, to getting blackmailed by a Moroccan snake charmer, each chapter takes the reader on an extraordinary cultural trip, a book for anyone who likes to travel, whether in their mind or reality.
