Inspirational Zingers Jumble

Inspirational Zingers Jumble

Christopher Hudson with Megan Chrans

Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. 2010

ISBN 978-1-4143-2697-9

Although I am a huge fan of newspaper puzzles, I have often felt a lack of stimulation when doing puzzles that come to me in paperback form. They are usually either extremely easy, [boring!], or so abstract that only Einstein or Freud could reach the correct conclusions!

I was pleasantly surprised, however, when I cracked open Inspirational Zingers Jumble by Christopher Hudson.

You know those wonderful 'Jumble' puzzles that you get in the national newspapers, that contain a secret message when you have finished the entire puzzle? Well, with Hudson's book, you can enjoy those popular puzzles while being encouraged by inspirational thoughts when you obtain the message in the end!

This delightful puzzle book contains 6 different kinds of 'Jumble' puzzles:

    *  Jumbles

    *  Double Jumbles

    *  Mystery Person Jumbles

    *  Word Search Jumbles

    *  Super Jumbles

    *  Criss-Cross Jumbles

I've carried the book around with me for the past several days, and have found the puzzles quite addicting! I've worked them in between client research; while on hold on the telephone; during commercials while watching television in the evening; and even during a well deserved quiet time in the bubble bath!

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy working puzzles. They aren't so difficult that you need assistance to solve them, and yet, they each and every one offer you a moment of enlightenment when you solve the final inspirational quote.

I give this book five [5] stars! *****

The Hunt For Atlantis

The Hunt For Atlantis

Andy McDermott

Bantom Books, 2007

ISBN 978-0-553-59285-6

This is the first in a series of books that features archaelogist Nina Wilde and her bodyguard, cum boyfriend, Eddie Chase [ex English secret services agent].

Approached by billionaire Kristian Frost and his daughter, Kari, Nina Wilde is enticed to look for the lost city of Atlantis. It was during her parents search for the legendary city that they were killed, only Nina believes an avalanche took their lives!

Nina meets her new bodyguard, Eddie Chase, and the adventures begin.

The pair, along with Kari Frost, travel about the globe as they follow their clues to the city. All along the way they are met with resistance from a secret brotherhood that means to stop Frost. Believing the brotherhood are their enemies, Nina and Eddie do everything in their power to foil the attempts to stop their search.

High in the Tibetan mountains the couple learn the truth, Frost is seeking the lost city of Atlantis in an attempt to perfect an Atlantean breed of humans to take over the world. They intend to plant a virus that will take the lives of everyone who does not carry the Atlantean gene that has passed down through the thousands of years to a mere 14% of mankind. And suddenly, it's up to Nina and Eddie to protect mankind, and preserve the world as we know it!

What follows is a series of events that is swarthed in death and murder.

In the end, the couple beat the odds. And another adventure is about to take place, in the next book in the series, The Tomb of Hercules.

I give The Hunt For Atlantis a five star rating!

Back To The Homeplace

Back To The Homeplace

by William Leverne Smith

Vision to Action Publishing

2010

ISBN 978-1451560404

When their mother dies, the family gathers at the old Homeplace to find that her will has been left to them on video! And Mom has some strange plans for her four children, their respectives spouses, and their children!

The entire crew must return to the Homeplace for two years, and make of it what they will, before the will can be properly settled!

What follows is a heart-warming story that looks deeply into the intimate lives of the four grown children.

Betrayals, infidelities, homosexuality, and even AIDS are looked at in such a manner that you find yourself saying, "Gee, that's just like what happened to our family!"

Back to the Homeplace kept me reading straight through the book, and wondering why it all had to end when I got to the last page! I wanted to read more!

The author promises a sequel out in late Spring 2011. And I can hardly wait to get it!

This very intimate story of one family, and how they manage to stick together through the thick and thin of every day life, is one story you won't want to miss!
