What really happened in the beginning? Why didn't the Almighty God destroy Lucifer? Well, the answer can be found in this highly anticipated first book of the Angelic series. The story surrounds 6 shimmerlings (the smallest angels) who were pulled from the heavens during the insurrection. Placed in the care of a childless pastor and his wife, the children grow in grace with no knowledge of the past. However on the tenth year of their earthly existence, strang and inexplicable things began to happen. Their destiny is unplugged and now they must face their greatest enemy, again, but now the battle will be fought on earth rather than the infinite expanse of heaven.

Ed Foster is a poet whose sensibilities are postmodern, but whose art does not shy away from making statements that live in sound and memory long after being read. Unlike many contemporary poets Foster's work feeds both the mind and the soul. Wise in the ways of the poet, Foster should be read by those who appreciate sophistication and those aspiring to first hear and to speak as poets.

So much nonsense is written about animal rights, especially in the media, but hopefully this enlightening book will help redress the balance.

What do animal rights campaigners believe? Why is fox-hunting and vivisection wrong? And why should people abandon flesh eating? Salt answers all these questions with his typical good humour and intelligence. Never getting bogged down by philosophical arguments or sentimentality, he refutes every argument advanced against animal rights.

Essential reading for anyone involved in campaigning for animal rights or just curious to know what animal rights is really about.

Also highly recommended is "The Savour of Salt: A Henry Salt Anthology" edited by George and Willene Hendrick.

What a wonderful journey Deborah Pease shares with us. The simplicity and beauty is endless in this very rich book of poetry. It leaves one wanting more.

Another Stereotype Bites the Dust is the second collection of Candorville comic strips by award-winning cartoonist Darrin Bell. Set in the inner city, Another Stereotype Bites the Dust follows the educated yet underachieving African-American writer Lemont Brown and his friends, an assertive Mexican-American woman and a mooching, rapper who still lives with his mother. The Candorville strip does not shy from edgy dialogue or equal jabs at modern social problems, governmental failings, and excessive political correctness. In one strip, Lemont Brown tries to vote and is told "Well that explains why you haven't received your absentee ballot, Mr. Brawn. You're on the felon list. Felons aren't allowed to vote in Candorville." "Brown! Not Brawn! Brown!" "Thank you for turning yourself in, Mr. Brawn." A wickedly funny, "must-read" humor book showcasing the talent, insight, and biting criticisms of a rising star among cartoonists.

College football player Derek seems to have it all: an award-winning football career, a supportive family and best friend, and a steady boyfriend. The only thing that doesn't seem to fit is that his best friend and his family can't seem to stand his boyfriend. But they have always supported him and will continue to do so. What will happen when his promising football career is cut short by a game-ending injury? It will force Derek to reevaluate his whole life. More importantly, it just might bring to light some things that he hasn't realized about not only his best friend, but also his boyfriend. You will have to read Aquamarine to see how this story plays out.

What is the first thing I think about when reflecting on Aquamarine by Sara Bell? "Sigh, what a love story." The fact that this super sexy gay man does not hide his relationships is a nice addition, especially for a football player. The love scenes were erotic and spicy, as well as tender. If you are looking for a wonderful love story and M/M is what you like, you will want Aquamarine for your collection.

I've had this book since I was a kid and I still love the illustrations. I still look around for more work by this illustrator. Rich colors and funny stories.
