I received my copy of The Genius Club with great anticipation. I'd been waiting for its arrival for several months. As soon as I got in from the mailbox, the DVD went into the machine (well – after a bit of wrestling with the adult-proof packaging). My blood was pumping double-time and my cerebellum (or should that be cerebrum) was ready for an intellectual treat.

Looking for something to tickle your funny bone, but without the four letter words and sexual innuendo which grates your spirit? Look no further. This DVD is chock full of funny material. I first was exposed to the comedic genius of this ensemble at a men's breakfast at church. I laughed my head off and had to get my own copy (since I only saw the first comedian). It was worth the effort and the cost.

Once again tackling the tough subjects, in Reforming the Potter’s Clay, Donald James Parker takes on Harry Potter and the occult. Are the books as innocent as they seem, or do they pose a darker threat: making magic seem normal and desirable?

The Duchess and the Dragon tells the epic story of two unlikely soul mates in the early 1800’s Regency Era who live worlds apart but soon meet and turn each other's world upside down.
Jamie Carie knows how to pull a reader into a story. The inheritance scandal and Drake’s fight for his life and near-tragic sea journey really grab you. That was all great stuff, if not too descriptive. Some details even turned my stomach. Then the romance begins, and my first thought was that it reminded me of a Harlequin historical romance.
Book Review: On Sparrow Hill

Book written by Maureen Lang
Are you the kind of reader who requires compelling action in a book to pull you along to the end? If so, this probably isn't the kind of literature you want to purchase. I can say with only a modicum of reservation that the majority of men wouldn't like this or be able to finish it. I might have been tempted to halt in midstream, but I had committed to reviewing this book. Is this an indictment of the writing? Not at all. The intended audience for this work is anyone who might deal with disabled people (which potentially is all of us at some point in our lives). A secondary group of people who would embrace it are the incurable romanticists who can't resist the ebbs and flows of a male/female relationship. This book can be considered a romance, but goes far beyond the confines of that pigeon-hole.
