Balls Books

I researched many exercise ball resources on the 'how to' of ball exercises. Creager's 'Airobic Ball Strengthening Workout' was comprehensive, VERY affordable, and full of a wide variety of exercise options. Get it!

This book is well researched, well organized, and well written. It gives a complete view of the facts known about the tragically short life of one of WWI's bravest and best aviators. I recomend it highly.

Written one of the best researchers of Western history, this chronicle of one of the little-known robberies in Arizona history gets more engrossing chapter by chapter. Major Wham escorted an army payroll horseback train that was robbed by locals in southeast Arizona. The locals who were charged were Mormons in an area thick with the LDS, and the region in general was resentful toward the federal government. Local politics and the religious overtones make this a great read.

This is an awesome book for anyone. It's realistic and the dance story is fun. One of the things my child likes most is the different categories of boys....check it out!

Don Ball, Jr., photographer, artist, poet. More photos than in Railroads, as well as more text. Railroads is more of a "coffee table" book, with larger photos and only one per page. This one gives you twice as many photos and more description. The two books complement each other well. About half of the photos in this one are by other train photographers, but since they were chosen by Mr. Ball, you can be sure they're good. Another gorgeous, beautiful book by the master!

This book is a good read. Yes the book has plenty of self congraduations by Albert Spalding. But this was a great athlete who took himself off the field to become a richman in selling sporting goods and to lesser extent in the Chicago White Stockings (later to become known as the Chicago Cubs). Purely slanted to the owners point of view in collective bargaining and the need to keep players honest and the game clean. He believed that the owners kept baseball profitable and enjoyable for the fan. This book tells baseball from the perspective of 1860 to 1910, with no disadvantage of the knowledge of Babe Ruth, black sox scandal, or the million dollar ballplayer. This book will take you back to an earlier time.

This is a very good book for people who like to just look at the pictures. A lot of good pictures of North Americain Railways. Hard cover book. A must for train lovers.

my daughter loves angelina!! great to have books to read to her and for her to go thrue til she can read!!

Peter Ball gives us a very comprehensive overview of Spiritual Direction from an Anglican perspective. He looks primarily on the different schools and their contributions. This book is not about technique, but about the values, attitudes and pastoral perspective that Anglicans have contributed to the work of Spiritual Direction. It is a helpful tool for those who wish to know more about this important work.

Unless he's going crazy, one of the dogs Endi walks just blew smoke out of its nose. And another just unfurled its wings. When his boyfriend thinks he's gone crazy, he's going to need help from the chief to get out of the trouble he's in.

"Dragonwalker" is a blast. It's a very creative and heartwarming story. Endi and the chief's relationship is a little shy of taboo and I love them together!

"Hunter's Kiss" is a great story. It's exciting, erotic and intense. I really like it. I wanted a longer ending though.

"Finding Trouble" by Misa Izanaki

Dante is a bartender in Kale's club. Kale is a bit overprotective of Dante. When Roland propositions Dante, he takes off with him. However, Dante may have gotten in over his head. Maybe he should have listened to Kale after all.

I wanted Dante and Kale together right from the start. Dante is sweet and almost innocent and Kale is sexy and intense. "Finding Trouble" is intriguing and hot.

Scarlett is a thief. He's become obsessed with Red and Reds' things. So Scarlett steals everything he can from the man. Red doesn't like it and he's going teach Scarlett a lesson he'll never forget!

"Magenta: The Romance of Scarlet and Red" is fun and very hot. It would be great as a novel length story.

"Unfinished Business: An Undercover Blues Story" by Laney Cairo

Ryan Hadley met Jason Cooper when he was a detective looking for information on Jason's mob boss brother Harvey. Now Ryan and Jason are lovers living a quiet life together until Harvey's past comes back to haunt them.

Ryan and Jason are introduced in Laney Cairo's Undercover Blues. It's a great story and "Unfinished Business" is just as good. It's exciting and action packed. I love Ryan and Jason. They are sweet and sexy guys.

"The Alpha Bet" by Cassidy Ryan

While playing cards at a casino, Grey bet his lover West that if West lost the next hand he had to cater to Grey's every whim the next day. West is about to find out that losing is the best thing he's ever done!

"Unravel" is a little kinky, very hot, and really fun. It's a fast paced romance with a lot of heat!

I love "A Jolly Good Idea." Hugh can be quite highhanded and even rude and Ryan is very sweet and sensitive. I love the dynamics of their relationship. I love the scenery and Hugh's family. I got lost in the story.

"Bruised Knuckles and Bars" by Julia Talbot

Jed Thatcher and his brother Ross have to find their own way out of trouble. But what's worse, facing the sheriff or facing their lovers?

"Bruised Knuckles and Bars" shows Jed and Eli at their troublemaking finest. They are introduced in Julia Talbot's Jumping Into things. I love Jed and Ross and their lovers. "Bruised Knuckles and Bars" is another fun and hot glimpse into Jed and Eli's lives as they get older and sexier.

In Another Fine Mess I got to visit a few old favorites and meet some new great characters. These shorts are big on story. They are creative, fun, hot, and very entertaining.
