I usually read historical romance novels but this one was given to me so I read it. I am sooooo glad I did! A well written story filled with love, happiness & sadness. The characters showed such emotion I could feel it. Two best friends, Sam & Jennifer, that are opposites deal with loved ones and family situations. Then enters Jackson Montgomery, a landscaper and part-time bartender. I won't give away the story but I will say that I want my own Jax! This is one character you can daydream about! There aren't many books that I am sooooo excited about that I just cannot wait to continue to read but 'Jennifer's Garden' is one of those books. All I could think about was what will happen next?! What direction will Jennifer go? Will Jax be there tomorrow? Well worth the read and will definately recommend it.

For Chloe nothing in life has come easy. After being abandoned by her parents at an early age, both her and her sister had to grow up fast, but instead of succumbing to a meaningless life, they worked hard and managed to become nurses. After tragedy struck, Chloe now faces the world on her own with a little help from a couple of trusted friends. Things go from bad to worse when she is attacked by a rogue werewolf and left with an unexplained new hardship only to be made even worse when a sexy stranger enters her life and makes things even more complicated. Cole keeps himself distant and aloof from Chloe since they met, but can’t keep himself away from her completely. He figures it’s better this way until he finishes his mission. The Gods have decided to bless him with a once in an immortal lifetime opportunity and he’s not exactly sure what to do with his new blessing. Chloe’s curiosity continues to peak as she discovers more about herself and the unknown world around her, but Cole refrains from telling her everything. Big mistake. Ms. Bush has put together a wonderful new paranormal world that deserves further exploration. It was hard not to immerse myself in the story from the beginning and what a pleasant surprise to see how very well rounded the story is by the end. No cliffhangers or questions as to what exactly the future held for our main characters. If Ms. Bush continues with the series, I think I might even know who here next target character might be. I’ll be keeping an eye out on this new-to-me author. Although it was nice to see both character perspectives being told throughout the story as often as they were, I did find it a bit confusing at some points as to who the focus was. There were also some editing issues and the character dialogue came across a bit stilted at times, but nothing too tremendous to take away from my overall enjoyment of the story. This is the second book to the Guard My Heart series and can be read as a standalone but I fully intend on going back and reading the first and would recommend others do the same.

125 Writers including Peter Carey, Annie Proulx, Sandra Cisneros, and Michael Cunningham list their favorite books. Most of the lists are simply that--a listing of their favorite works, but there are descriptions of each work in the appendix, and scattered throughout, some of the authors have written appreciations of favorite books. The editor uses a strange system to rank the works in several categories, e.g., Top 10 Works of the 20th Century, Top 10 Works by Russian Authors, but overall it is very good.

I give it 3 stars for the import of what the author talks about and how little people probably know about the people they donate to. The discussion of specific regions and how NGO's and the like are involved are very informative in a broad way. My problem with this book is that it doesn't feel coherent. The author goes back and forth from one crisis area and time to another. There is something almost too personal about the writing when it often needs to come across more analytical I think. But again, that doesn't detract from the overall message of the problem with how aid is set up, distributed and accounted for. The author questions many times over the course of the book "is it better to do something or do nothing"? And the answer is not as clear as one would think, knowing that I believe the gut reaction of most people is "of course, do something". That's not so clear cut when you realize what 'doing something' actually entails and the further problems it causes. The greatest thing to take away from this book is a healthy questioning of the system of aid that many countries give AND many contries and people manipulate.

http://staffersmusings.blogspot.com/2... I salute Night Shade Books. Starting with Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl two years ago, they've been been pumping out quality debuts. This year alone Night Shade released an incredible portfolio of new authors that have been consistently well received (you can visit a nice chunk of them at http://night-bazaar.com/). God's War from Kameron Hurley is very much in this tradition albeit in a novel that ignores genre tradition with impunity. God's War is a second world fantasy novel written in a technologically advanced society. On her twitter feed last (@nkjemisin) week Hugo Nominated Author N.K. Jemisin asked about whether technology predisposed classification as science fiction in lieu of fantasy. If I was making an argument that technology and fantasy aren't mutually exclusive, Hurley's novel would be the example I hold up. She introduces lots of technology - firearms, cars, spacecraft, wireless communication, among others. The twist is, nearly all of this technology functions through a "mystical" connection between gifted humans (called... wait for it... magicians!) who utilize insects as a power source. Hurley's plot centers around a woman named Nyxnissa and her unlucky team of bounty hunters headlined by the not so talented magician, Rhys. Set in a world where competing religious factions (both of which "feel" a lot like Islam) have been at war for generations, all men are required to serve at the front. Those that refuse become fair game for teams like Nyx's to be hunted down, killed, and turned in for monetary reward. When the queens calls Nyx's number for a very particular bounty she and her team drop everything to get back on top. What makes God's War such an accomplishment has little to do with its plot. In fact, the early going of the narrative is rather disjointed with blanks that could use filling. Things are never real clear as to why Nyx's team is so loyal to her and the relationships between Nyx and the various arms of the government lack an equal amount of lucidity. What rescues the novel and makes it such a great read are wonderfully drawn characters and original unexpected world building. To the first point, Hurley's primary characters are the aforementioned Nyx and Rhys. Her plot flows around these two as they struggle to survive, their relationship to the war-torn world around them, and ultimately their relationship to each other. Nyx is about as hard boiled a female as I've ever seen - somewhat reminiscent of Joe Abercrombie's Monza from Best Served Cold. Unlike Abercrombie's version of the tough female, Nyx comes off authentic; less a force of nature, and more irrecoverably broken by the life she's led. Somehow she retains humanity and a modicum of vulnerability that strikes the perfect tone in her interactions with Rhys who functions as the literary foil to Nyx. Where she is all hard edges, Rhys is softer and more vulnerable hiding the hard edges from view. It makes for a poignant juxtaposition that excels from beginning to end. The world Nyx and Rhys inhabit is just as poignant. Couched in real world terms God's War provides a look not so dissimilar from what might go on in the Middle East if everyone gave up the hope of peace. While both sides of the war worship the same God and read from the same book, their interpretations are night and day. Nyx's side has become matriarchal, sacrificing the entire male population as fodder on the front lines. The other remains patriarchal with a continued practice of marginalizing women despite the massive exportation of men to the front. Umayma, the planet on which this all takes place, is an anathema to human life as the war itself. Cancer is rampant among those lacking the means to prevent it and ethnic minorities are discarded. But for a very brief scene in the middle pages, God's War never takes us to war itself. The novel's focus is instead on the war at home - how it impacts those who come back broken and those who were never allowed to go. Interestingly, this is not a sentimental book that beats the drum about the pointlessness of war. Hurley sets the stage, moves her beautiful characters across it, and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. While there are certainly some narrative hiccups indicative of its status as a debut novel, God's War is a clever reinterpretation of the war novel. Hurley takes on issues of gender roles, violence, and religion and does it all with a deft hand. I sincerely hope it receives some well deserved attention come award season and I strongly suggest my readers check this one out. The sequel to God's War is coming out next month, titled Infidel. I already have my hands on it so expect a review in a week or two.

Anna was pretty annoying, she had trouble focusing and was horrid in a crisis situation which i find a bit unbelievable for a bounty hunter also she cheated on her long term bf just because she found someone "exciting" and still hasnt told him about it - which just pisses me off, im hoping that it was only the side affect of such much trauma and the over the next few books she'll change. also what was with her reaction at the hospital?? im hoping she was either in shock or it was her vampire side coming out cause it was creepy. who doesnt react to something like that?? but besides my complaints about the main character the rest of the book was pretty entertaining, a little predictable but not bad, im looking forward to getting started on the next in this series.
