F R E E book...
Awaken, The Patronus, Book 1
By Sarah M Ross.
This one is only available for the Tenth of April, 2012.
Here's the book blurb...
Lucy Donovan was supposed to have a weekend of fun in the sun, celebrating her upcoming graduation from college. In a split second, everything changed. A drunk driver ended Lucy’s mortal life.
Lucy opens her eyes to a world she never imagined possible and a new destiny: as a Patronus, a guardian of spirits. Adjusting to her new role and abilities while negotiating this confusing realm will test her limits and push her further than she ever dreamed she would go. From wayward spirits who don’t want her help to soul stealing vampires, and even a stuck-up British royal, Lucy must brave them all to save one spirit she can’t bear to lose.
Further complicating her confusing life is an inexplicable yet growing connection she feels to a member of her team, Max, whose mysterious behavior leaves her both confused and intrigued.
Waking up dead was just the beginning of her problems. Lucy’s death is about to become the greatest adventure of her life.

F R E E book...
Here's one from Brian Rathbone called Call of the Herald, it's book one of the Godsland series, so if you haven't had a chance to read it...
It's been likened to a cross between Eragon (which I adored), Terry Brooks 'Shanara' series (which is still one of my all time favorites), and Tolkeins' 'Lord of the Rings' (this was my introduction into this genre in the first instance, so lots of good memories here).
Get it here at Amazon.
My advice? If you're uncertain, click the 'Try it first' and have a read, BUT make sure you read past the prologue and into the first chapter. As with many books, the prologue is not the story - I know, that's why it's called a prologue. I know of many a person that has been put of by a book because of the prologue, and in this instance I highly recommend you read the first chapter.
Would love to get your feedback on this one, either way, so let me know what you think.

F R E E book from Gemma Halliday...
Free book from the lovely Gemma Halliday now at Amazon.
I haven't read this particular book of Ms Hallidays, so I'm really looking forward to having a read. I must say the last one from her had me laughing so hard in parts (tragic that I am) that I snorted out loud a few times, and while this isn't so bad when you're reading at home, on the train at peak hour it is slightly embarrasing. *grins*
If you enjoyed reading any of HP Mallory's books, then you will no doubt enjoy Gemma Hallidays works too.
Bon Appetite!☀☀☀

HP Mallory's Dulcie O'Neill Series; Complete
The Dulcie O'Neill Series of the first three books is currently on SALE for just .99 cents.
Use these links to go to AMAZON, or BARNES & NOBLE if you wish to purchase.
HP said that she isn't too sure how much longer she can keep it going at that price, so get in while the price is good.
I highly recommend the works of Ms. Mallory if you like and enjoy your reading to be seamless and unobtrussive. If you like your hero to be feminine, and your men to be hot, hot, hot.

Truly hope this works and my apologies for all the phaffing around. Still learning, but I guess that this is rather obvious.
This is one book that I am really hanging out to read. So to be able to obtain a free copy is fantastic. Now all I have to do is reprioritise my TBR pile again. *sigh*

Saying "Thank you" can be a simple but effective thing to do.
I don't usually endorse companies - it takes a lot for me to do so. Normally it would be for philanthropic reasons only. It's not a rule as such, just something that I don't do. Today however, I've been given a very good reason to do so. Starbucks is a very large, and really well known company. Today they have come out (no pun intended by the way) in support of the gay community. Now for a company as large as this to do something like this - it is a gamble. Because a belief like this could damage their brand.
So, because they have done this, I wish to acknowledge what they have done and say 'Thank you' on behalf of my daughter, and my friends, that for no other reason but their sexuality, they are shunned and bullied, and worse, told they cannot marry the one they love.
If you support equality of any sort, then you would also support Starbucks. Please let them know that you support them in their coming out, by signing an eThank you card. You can do so here...

My biggest regret when I leave this earth...
I was struck dumb one day when I realised, that I would never get to read all the books I want to. Only now do I realise that I would actually become a vampire if this gave me the opportunity to read all those books. Wow.
MOOing kitchen drawers
So, I have insufficient funds to remodel the kitchen, but desperately want a tidier kitchen, one that's more organised. and has more drawers. How to overcome this when you don't have thousands of dollars to do it? Simple, make do with what you have and use your initiative. I went to Coles and bought some plastic tubs that (I measured first) fit my cupboards perfectly. Now I can slide them out and see everything that is inside. Nice, tidy, organised.
Happy sigh. 😊 Oh the upside? The tubs were $9.00 each. 😃
