Quiet and quick!
I enjoy a 'good' cup of coffee and this machine delivers!! It's very quiet (my old one wasn't) and very quick and consistent. I like the fact that I can use other brands of coffee, also.

Used Keurig B60 Not Working
Unit pumps water, heats water but does not pour water through k-cup; it may pour a partial cup or no cup at all. After selecting cup size to brew, unit goes thru cycle of brewing then shuts off with brew size button remaining lit. Unit back fills the reservoir with hot water because water is not getting from the heating coils to the k-cup to produce brewed coffee. Cleaned unit with Kearig solution and used paper clip to clean holes in puncture point. Also tried resetting its processor to no avail. Waste of money; just wanted a convenient means of getting a cup of coffee but only got something that needs repair with replacement parts.

It's noisier than the Verismo and bulkier than the Verismo, but the coffee pods for Keurig are ubiquitous, whereas you have a better chance of spotting an Ivory Billed Woodpecker than a box of Verismo pods. While I like my Verismo more, the Keurig is a more practical buy, in part because Starbucks doesn't seem that interested in pushing the Verismo or it's coffee pods. But I've never really been very practical, so there!

I own this particular model
I own this particular model for since it came out, I bought it at Costco for either $129 or $149 I cannot remember exactly. It is a wonderful machine, I have no problems with it except one. As it starts to build up the stuff the water deposits to the inside you begin to notice the difference in the quality of the cup of coffee. I called Keurig asking them if I sent back my old machine to be refurbished, how long would it take? Then I would send them this one to refurbish. They told me that THEY DO NOT REFURBISH and I was shocked and told them the machines were expensive and why would they not do that instead of pumping out different models only to go to a junk yard after a year or two. Now I do the vinegar flush a couple of times a year, in all fairness, it should be done once a month so the crud doesn't build up on the inside. I have heard if you tip them upsidedown and bang them with a rubber hammer or your fist it frees up the crud and you get a good cup of coffee again, I have to ask, where does the crud go???? Well, it would have to come off whatever surface and sit in the bottom of the water tube that it goes through. So you have to call Keurig yourself and ask them if they refurbish and if they tell you they don't, how is this machine being refurbished? Keurig, to my knowledge, and I may be wrong, does not sell internal parts, because if they don't refurbish, how is this machine being refurbished? Just sayin.... Read full review

Land of Oz Adventure
This adventure begins in Munkinland, of course. After you find the Munchkinland letterbox you must travel to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard. The Wizard will send you on a mission to capture the magic golden cap of the Wicked Witch of the West.
This journey begins at the Chestnut Lane entrance and takes about 3 hours to get to the castle. You can find a much shorter route back to Chestnut Lane, the green trail.
The Munchkinland Letterbox
Begin at Chestnut Lane, start on the orange trail. Turn right onto the blue trail. You are now in Munchkinland! Turn right onto the green trail. Notice a stone wall on your left. Follow the stone wall until it crosses the white trail. The wall breaks where the white trail crosses it. Walk up the white trail, about 12 steps to the wall. On the right there is a tall tree with a white blaze on it. The Munchkinland letterbox is hidden in the stone wall on the right. Turn back to the green trail, the way you came. The green trail is now yellow! You are on your way to the Yellow Brick Road!
The Emerald City Letterbox
The Munchkins have sent you to meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You must follow the road of yellow brick. Follow the yellow/green trail to the Yellow trail. This will be a long journey through thick wood. You will cross a wide stream and the red square trail. When you come to the red circle trail turn right. Begin the long climb to the Emerald City through intoxicating poppies. The trail edges a cliff with bubbling stream below. Find tall grasses, wildflowers, and berries. When you get to the top look for the green trail. At the green trail, turn right. You have reached the Emerald City!
Now you must pass the gates into the Emerald City. Follow the green trail until you see a small bridge. Cross the bridge and stand at the opposite edge. Now look up the hill straight in front of you. Climb up under low Mountain Laurel, Hemlock trees and bright green moss. Before you reach the top find the letterbox behind a large rock under some leaves. The wizard has sent you on a mission to the witch's castle. Turn back to the red trail.
If you Dare!
The Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West
The Wizard has sent you to capture the magic golden cap of the Wicked Witch. Turn right onto the red circle trail. This is a trail of large rocks over wet land. If you make it to the blue trail, turn left. It is a dangerous climb to the castle. The witch has set many traps to trip you up along the way. Test your endurance on this mission! Now tnat you have arrived. Stand with the castle to your back, facing the green lawn, the blue trail continues to your left. Walk across the grass to a path. Walk onto the path a few paces and look to left. There is a felled tree with the roots pointing up. The box is behind the root under a rock.
Congratulations! You have captured the magic golden cap!
Now you must find your way home.

I deeply admire JR from Nu'est, not only because he has had to lead a group that decreased popularity and has faced many hardships (and now Produce 101), but also because he assumed that responsibility when he was just 16. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I'm quite sure that he is the youngest k-pop leader to ever debut

Beyond the Wild River, Sarah Maine
Beyond the Wild River, Sarah Maine
Genre: Historical fiction
I was intrigued by this tale, a young lady didn't often get the chance for adventure that Evelyn has with the Canada journey.
I really enjoyed the story, its beautifully written, felt very evocative of the time period and the wilderness of the lands. The philosophy that creeps in too, the unfairness of UK laws, where Ballantyre gets taken to task by a poacher of "his" salmon, the dichotomy of whether people can actually own salmon and other creatures just because they're passing through their land. that could be taken further – who says land belongs to them….interesting points and fitted very well within the story as it unfolds.
I liked the mix of people included, and the descriptions of the journey and the camps.
I felt for James, from a child he'd been placed in an unfair situation, and life then was very much dependent on who you were when you were born.
Corruption, bribery, turning a blind eye all played a part if the perpetrators of a crime were wealthy, titled whereas everyone else caught the full throw of the law for tiny offences.
I loved Evelyn, and poor Clemmy, caught up in a journey she really wasn't suited for. Evelyn has a spirit of adventure, Clemmy really belongs in a place where she can be indulged, surrounded by luxuries and cosseted hand and foot!
Evelyn chafed against the restrictions placed on a young lady of the time and fell into the adventure whole-heartedly, happy to rough it and live so very differently.
What I did find hard to take though was that the story was very slow, lacked any real drama in the first 2/3 rds.
We're gradually learning about the mystery of Jacko's death and the repercussions but the story itself, though so beautifully written didn't keep me engaged and i did put it aside several times which is unusual for me. I like to read a book in two or preferably one sitting(s).
Stars: four, a lovely read for the time and descriptions of the wilderness but the story itself lacked pace at times for me

A Gathering Storm, Porthkennack 2, Joanna Chambers
A Gathering Storm, Porthkennack 2, Joanna Chambers
Genre: Romance, LGBTQIA
I loved Wake Up Call (Porthkennack 1) J.L. Merrow, so when I saw there was a second Porthkennack book I wanted to read it. I hadn't read any of Joanna's novels before, but Riptide tends to have authors/books that suit my taste and of course I have a weakness for well written m/m historical tales, having found them by way of (for me) the queen of this genre K.J. Charles.
There's something about the need for secrecy, the huge risks people took in same sex relationships that appeal to the drama side of me. I feel for them, truly, it was an awful time to live, when those caught out lost families, homes, jobs and were imprisoned. Yet as a reading genre I love it. Hypocrite I know 😉
This book brings in all those things, and adds in the touch of Class, Station, the snobbery of how people were so divided according to their backgrounds.
Ward was born to a wealthy family, which left him free to pursue whatever interests he had and more so, relatively immune for the time, of discovery with two very discreet servants who'd become almost family to him, and a home which gave him privacy.
He's very kind of quiet, introverted though, and I could feel how much Mr Pipp, his mainstay, his servant from childhood, went out of his way to protect him. He almost treated him as a son, and Ward regarded him and his views as many children would a parent. He was lucky in that, with his health issues brought on by childhood illness many in his position were simply ridiculed, scorned, bullied, and his money made him less of a target in public even if he knew the jokes were there behind him.
He's devastated by his twin's death, and will, like many grieving people, try anything to contact him once more, and that brings him into his current research.
He's set everything up but needs volunteers, well, paid ones anyway but after one has an accident some time after assisting him he's stuck, no-one else will help.
Then Nick comes into his life, reluctantly. Ward is convinced he can help with his research when he learns Nick's mother was regarded by the locals as a clairvoyant.
Nicks a steward to the Rosscarrock family, a grandson to the current owner of the estate, but illegitimate. His mother was a gypsy, and after she died when Nick was 12 Lord Rosscarrock gave him a job, let him live in a cottage and educated him – after his work was done of course…. so he could become his Steward.
He doesn't have that same privilege to indulge his inclinations that Ward does, Ward can have an excuse for men that visit, Nick would be hard pressed to explain why someone came to his cottage. Ways of the time 😦 so Nick is stuck with a few hurried risky private-ish publish fumblings.
When something happens that brings him reluctantly to Ward's assistance they slowly grow closer, grow to respect each other and more, but there is always the barrier of how they met and of course their respective positions.
Its a great story, brings in all the things I love best about this genre, the closeness, the way so much had to be hidden, the risks, and of course like the best stories the characters talk as they would back then, which makes me feel as if I'm really back in time with them.
Its a time too when spiritualism was at a peak, and there were many charlatans, using some clever tricks preying on the need of grieving people. Times were tough then though, and for some it was that or starve. Its easy to be judgmental from a position of security.
Stars: four, a great read, perfectly written to feel set back in time but i did feel the transition between the two kind of slid past the things that had been causing issues a little too conveniently at the end.

The Witchfinder's Sister, Beth Underdown
The Witchfinder's Sister, Beth Underdown
Genre: General Fiction, Mystery and Thrillers
I can't find any info about previous books so I think this must be Beth's debut novel – and what an intense and complex read for a first story!
Its so well written I was pulled back into that time, back to the seventeenth century. I'm a UK reader, living in Norfolk, so reading about Matthew and Alice living in the Eastern region of UK, I had a mental image of places I know now as they would have been back then. My house was build in 1682 – strange to think of it still standing ( and for a long while yet I hope!!) when it was built such a short time after these events. Mix of the old and the current…
So, Matthew Hopkins- I recall learning about him at school, along with the US Salem witch trials. The Crucible was one of our set text English reads.
He's cropped up as a side character in a few books since then, but I've never really thought much more about him. Here Beth's given him a fictional sister, though he may have had a real one Alice is purely invented for this story. It works well, she's a foil to him, shared upbringing, and a way to let us see his actions from someone who loved him as a child but grew scared and confused of the man he became.
He's a strange person, and as we learn about his upbringing there are elements slowly revealed that could have impacted upon his actions now. Others have had far worse happen though, and don't turn into people like him, so its part explanation but not as simple as the whole cause.
He really was a enigmatic character, phlegmatic about what he needed to do, unemotional, even when it means tearing apart, condemning to death, people he's known since childhood. I can't decide whether he's just cruel, vindictive, out for revenge, totally mad or whether he really believes in what he's doing.
From a small start his witch hunt takes on a life of its own and snowballs, and maybe the power pushed him to go further and further, made him feel righteous, invincible? Who knows, and after finishing the story I still don't know.
Beth offers lots to speculate about but the reality? He was real, he did what we now see as horrific things, but which at the time were backed by other important people, landowners, local politicians – well, what passed for them in those days, the Church even. It was as if nothing could stop him from this path he's set on, and the longer he was "successful" the more righteous he got. Success bred more of the same methods, even when the causes of it were wrong.
Its a bit like that sink or swim test, he was pushing people to their limits physically and mentally and when they "confessed" through exhaustion, pain, thirst, would say anything to get some tiny relief he seized upon it as evidence his path was right, and went even further.
Alice, poor Alice. Her mother died when she was very young, father remarried and had Matthew, but his birth left his mother frail and Alice really took over his upbringing, loving and looking after him.
Even then the public face, showing the happy family outside, the father who was a priest, a good man, the mother who simply tired easily, was hiding things, secrets that kept slipping quietly out, and building background to the current events.
I so felt for Alice, she's a good woman, widowed from her beloved Joseph, a servant's son, whom Matthew did not approve of, she's still young, in her twenties I think, and forced to come back and live off Matthews charity.
She can see events unfolding, sees at first hand what's going on but is powerless to stop anything. She tries though, tries to do what she can but Matthew is an unmovable force. Her small brother has grown into a confident and powerful man.
He takes little note of her, and at times seems to really dislike her. she becomes just another tool for him to use in his never ending quest for witches. Too much pressure or intervention and she risks her own place in his home at best, risks getting caught up in the hunt at worst.
Its a tough line, being brought up to help people and then forced to stand aside as those you've known since childhood are tested for what seems like petty grievances, revenges, spurious accusations…
Witch hunts, back then not knowing the cause of events, accidents, tragedies, people looked for someone to blame, and it was easy to pick on one person a little on the outside of society, and call witchcraft and the intervention of the Devil the cause.
Now we look back and think how could they really believe that, but its a poor, uneducated society, and its human to want to blame someone or something.
Not every thing has an explanation though, and there are a couple of events here that gave me the shivers, defied rational thinking.
Sometimes I think we haven't moved on that much, we still look to blame others, though not as witches but in some 21st century way.
In the UK we've just voted to leave Europe, mainly because of the hype and untruths certain media factions told about immigration, and it brought up the same kind of feelings as in this book, where people want to blame someone for misfortune. In the UK lack of money for NHS and other public services was blamed on immigration – scaremongering, but a spark that when fanned turned into a fire.
Hitler did that back in the 1940's with his attempts to stamp out minority groups, terrible things happened as those who could have stopped it turned a blind eye, much as those in power when Matthew Hopkins let him get away with his crimes.
Then there's the US and the political system there, where another modern witch hunt has let a racist, sexist, xenophobic bigot race to the top place for power. Scary stuff but proves that witch hunts aren't just confined to history – but have their own modern day version 😦 "The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing" Edmund Burke et al.
A fabulous book, uncomfortable reading at times, which felt so very real, took me back in time, made me understand a little more about the awful events that took place back then.
The characters were wonderful, felt so real, I was scared for and of them, depending on which ones of course.
I loved the way secrets were teased before the reader, parts revealed slowly, hints of what may have been relevant or may be just superstition taunted through, making me second guess my thoughts. In fact its not until writing this that I've connected a couple of major points that could have been the catalyst for Matthew's quest.
Its a fascinating first book, well researched, marrying real events and people with fictional ones to create an amazing story. I'm not sure its one I'd reread but its certainly one I'm glad to have read.
Stars: Five, incredible book, uncomfortable at times but so very, very real feeling.

An Unseen Attraction, KJ Charles. Dating Ryan Alback, J.E. Birk
An Unseen Attraction, KJ Charles
Genre: romance,LGBTQIA.
I love KJ Charles writing style, very apt for the era she brings to her stories. It feels very much as if one is there in the time period, from the descriptions of characters, what they wear, their occupations, what they do and how they meet, the actual buildings, the London smog.
Even the actual wording used is full of things I have to look up, occupations now unknown or rare but common then, words I've never heard of but which seem so apt to the time and are so enriching to the story. (Gamahuching from one of the first novels of hers I read – what a fabulous word).
I hate the trend for dumbed down books, where words all seem to be three syllables or less!
We think of UK history as being mainly white people, and yet when people were so often seen as property they were brought back from other countries as such, and its not uncommon to see people of every race and colour in the cities in UK. KJ often weaves them into her stories.
I loved Clem, half Indian, with a very real backstory, one that happened so very often. He's an amazing man, and I could see just how his slow and careful nature led to bullying as a child. He needed time to assess, to think, to speak and society both them and now doesn't like that. People ( me) get bullied of they don't grasp instantly what's to be said or done. I don't have so much difficulty now, but as a child I was very silent, always worried about saying the wrong thing, needed to mull over conversations, think carefully before answering or I'd get flustered just as Clem does. I feel for him.
I sympathised with Rowley too ( sounds like slowly – I loved that quip!) When he's talking about his glasses, he describes how someone discovered he needed them, and says how it never occurred to him that he wasn't seeing what others could. I was ten when a teacher noticed I was very short sighted, until then everyone just thought I wasn't very bright, was clumsy and slow…so I understood perfectly how Rowley felt without his specs. Mine are a lifeline to the real world. Rowley has had a difficult upbringing too, not uncommon for them time but wich of course affects his personality. He's so understnading opf Clem, so in tune with what he needs, they make a breat pair. You just want them to be happy, to be left alone.
There's as usual lots of sex, but not the eternal but dull stuff so often found, where it feels like pages and pages of the same thing.
Clem and Rowely have a varied and intersting way of love making, and again that fits, when sex was something not mentioned in polite society, sex between same sex people forbidden. Even something simple like a quick touch on the hand, a passing clasp of the shoulder could mean so much.
Sometimes I think we miss just how sensual a touch or glance can be, how it can have so much meaning between two people. When things have to be worked at, when they had to find ways round society's constraints then a simple look could carry a world of meaning.
Once more we've some wonderful characters, a careful, slow burn romance, one that simmers, builds very gently, with each wondering about the other. Given the penalties for homosexuality at the time they had to be extraordinarily careful.
I loved the taxidermy descriptions, though they were really interesting I did have to skip the more queasy parts….wimp I know!
You won't find edge of seat drama here, no histrionics, or death defying stunts, but plots that develop cleverly, lead us around wondering who and why. Though I'd an inkling this time of the Who, I'd no idea of Why, and its a real quest for answers, very much time period apropos.
With a terrific cast and setting, a mystery that weaves all parts of the story together and introduces characters that hopefully we'll meet in later books, and its another winner. I look forward to more from this group.
Stars: Five, a fabulous start to the trilogy.

Dating Ryan Alback, J.E. Birk
Genre: Romance, LGBTQIA
A new-to-me author so I wasn't sure what to expect. It sounded fun, and was, but I found it a little too sweet, cutesy.
A good read, just not a great one for me. That's fine though, others love sweet'n'light, cute'n'fluffy.
I liked both characters, there wasn't anything to dislike. The setting, how they met, was a little stretching credulity to think either would do that when they both value their privacy, but the reasons given helped.
I could see why they'd connect, but though I felt a good friendship between them I didn't feel the love, sexual tension, must-be-together feeling I need in romances.
When it went wrong, well I could see why Ryan reacted that way, but he was a bit OTT knowing only too well how the media screw things up, print anything regardless of the truth just to make money. I didn't feel his past excused his antagonistic reaction. He'd been let down badly by a lover – it happens, and it was wrong to still be reactive, rather than proactive and his agent and friends were advising. Then to behave so callously to Jason. #justnoton
Then Jason, he'd also got a difficult past, but I felt he was far too forgiving when Ryan eventually came calling. It just didn't feel right, I felt he should have held back more, make Ryan realise just how badly his actions hurt.
Family and friends on both sides added to the "cute" feel, they were all supportive, loving, protective, and that part felt detached from real life where sadly so much prejudice goes on, so many people are vicious gossips, always put to knock people down.
It was a sweet story, cute characters, a HEA but too sweet, too nice for me to rate higher than a three, I needed more connection between them and more angst.
Its exactly what some readers want though, look at any book and you'll see some love it and others hate it for exactly the same reasons. this isn't one for me to keep but may be just what you're looking for.
Stars: Three, a happy read, but too nice for me to keep, just a one off read.

Claiming Mister Kemp, Emily Larkin, Guarding Mr. Fine, HelenKay Dimon
Claiming Mister Kemp, Baleful Godmother 4, Emily Larkin
Genre: romance, LGBTQIA
Well, I've not read any of Emily's stories, and this is the fourth in a series….but it reads as though each are stand alone though connected, and the description appealed to me 😉
Historical M/M – for me the Queen, the 5* Gold Standard of this genre is K J Charles, I love her works. This stands up pretty well against that for me, and I really enjoyed the story. There are earlier books, which I'd like to read, and in fact book one is free so that's on my kindle 😉
I loved Tom, so clear about his love for Lucas even at a time when it mean death if it was discovered. Awful isn't it how we treated anyone in love in a non conventional way back then – and in many places still do 😡 Tom has served his country loyally, risked his life for small reward and yet if he's caught with a man he faced being hung.
Lucas, he's so scared to admit his feelings. Its clear to those close to him but he won't even admit it to himself, and talking to Tom when he forces the issue he's sticking to the conventional "unnatural" etc. As for anal sex – I have to look up the term they used, was new to me and I've forgotten it – there's no way he'll consider that. Back door Usher – that's was it, perfect for the age in which the book is set.
That's one of the things that makes historical books so real, when the characters speak as they would back then, use terms familiar to that age. When Tom is talking about paint colours I had to look some up, hazarded a guess as an artist myself but they were colours I've never heard of, superseded by more modern ones.
I love when an author takes the trouble to do relatively small things like that which have a big impact on how I feel about a novel. Its research many fail to give credit to and just don't do but can make a massive difference to how real novels feel. Its something that KJ Charles does all the while, and what makes her books feel so special to me.
There were times I wanted to shake Lucas, thought him a coward he was bringing such distress to Tom in his refusal to act on what they both felt. Then I had to remind myself just what they were risking, and it puts his fears into context better.
Even today in the UK many people find it difficult to acknowledge their sexuality, and there are no criminal charges now, just bigots to face,but that's still tough, especially when they're sometimes within the family we love.
Holding up this would be/won't be romance is a great cast of characters, snippets of real history, and events, and plots that fit the story perfectly. Its a fun read, one I thoroughly enjoyed..
Stars: Four and a half, just short of the magic five, maybe if I'd read all the former stories it would have hit that? Who knows?

Guarding Mr. Fine, HelenKay Dimon
Genre: Romance, LGBTQIA
I didn't realise I'd read one of Helen's books back in 2014…not surprising as she's a prolific author.
This sounded a fun read so I waded in, and got hooked into Seth and Rick's romance.
I love that they've-hooked-up-but-now-its-awkward scenario. Rick and Seth had a quick, steamy interlude in a club back room and that's it. Or so they think, so imagine the shock when next day Seth finds out Rick is the person he's bodyguard for.
Rick knows who Seth is via the paperwork, and has his own issues about that, but has no idea what he looks like until he walked in the door!
Well, that visceral attraction that had them hot and sensual in the back room is still there.
Rick's had relationships before but Seth? Not really. He's just broken up with the closest he came to one with his ex, Elizabeth. She felt he wasn't there enough, and when he was, he wasn't "there" with her anyway.
They can't keep hands – and other body parts – to themselves though, and what was a one off becomes more and more, until Seth can't bear the thought of anything happening to Rick.
There's a lot of danger surrounding this post though, Rick isn't really the new Consul, but an agent looking into the supposed suicide of the old one.
He and Seth uncover a dangerous plot that could get them killed, and they come very close to it more than once. The suspense part and action of the story worked well for me. I don't want it too in-depth that I get lost but do need it to feel real.
There's lots of action here, lots of on-going drama, and some cracking snarky lines that made me smile.
I liked Seth and Rick, they worked well together as colleagues and as lovers. Could they continue after this post was done though? Would Seth even want to or would he do his usual fast exit?
As well as the romance there was a decent storyline – and I'm all about that, a proper balance of sex v story, and here it worked well.
The characters were well thought out, very real feeling though I'd got an inkling of who was the bad guy early on. Makes a change for me to get it right 😉
I loved Nathan too, love the banter he and Seth had, being comrades from other dangerous jobs had led them into a special trust, only found when you rely on the other when you're risking your lives.
I did enjoy the "why do straight guys always think we'll hit on them" talk – I was having that chat just recently with son number two. Its something that always puzzles me, straight guys don't fancy every woman that crosses their path so why do so many of them assume a gay guy will fancy them?
Stars: Four, a fun read, with a good balance of sex and story.

The House at Bishopsgate, Katie Hickman
The House at Bishopsgate, Katie Hickman
Genre: Literature and fiction, Historical.
When I started reading this I hadn't realised it was the third book in a trilogy, and in fact I'd read and really enjoyed the first, The Aviary Gate, several years back.
At that time I was going through a historical phase, reading books like those by Norah Lofts, set back in time, describing the minutiae of everyday life, from a very personal viewpoint. I didn't realise back then that there were to be sequels to TAG, and I do recall being very disappointed with the unsatisfying, ambiguous ending.
Of course now all three books are out it makes sense 😉 but its been a long time between books, I think it was around late 2009/early 2010 when I read the first one, the pre kindle days….
I'd like to read the second book sometime, there are so many things that happened there that affect this book, and though I could follow the story without having read it, parts would probably have made more sense, be better understood.
It took me a while to get into it, its got a very slow start, in fact it begins with the ending, some 30 years on, and I almost gave up as it seemed so staid, dull and dreary.
Still, with memories of the Aviary Gate I continued, and soon became lost in the magic of the writing. I felt back in time there with the story, as if it was happening right now and I was a voyeur to it, and I enjoyed both the characters and the story.
I had a soft spot for John Carew in TAG, and enjoyed the parts where he was connected to this part of the story, and of course the way Annetta and he "heard " each others voices, a real love story there but so incredibly sad for both.
They'd both had such a hard life so far, and I so wanted them to finally find the happiness they deserved.
There was something about him that came out at the end which surprised me, maybe if I'd read book two I'd have seen that but it made sense once I knew it.
Celia too hears Annetta's voice in her head. They have a very special relationship, from life back in the Harem, and of course their final risky escape.
I love Celia, and admired her love for her husband Paul. They too had been through so much, finally being reunited and yet still vastly apart in so many ways.
On the surface they have everything, they'd promised themselves life would be perfect back in England, but now they are there, with a massive house, full of treasures Paul collected, no money, every luxury possible yet somehow they still are apart.
Celia starts to shrink in on herself, as her place in the house has been cleverly usurped by widowed traveller Frances Sydenham, who they helped travel to England, and who seems to have become a permanent fixture in their home.
Under the guise of "helping" her friend Celia she takes over the household tasks, and poor Celia becomes further and further away from Paul and the happiness they promised themselves. I so felt for them both, Celia wanted to be a wife in every sense, but was lost back in England, felt so out of place, everything so different after her years in the harem, and Frances is so clever in her manipulations pushing her further away from Paul and her place as Mistress of the home.
Paul still seems to think Celia is healing, seems almost scared of her at times, as if she's some fragile little bird, and he just doesn't see her as she is now, as the strong person she's had to be to overcome everything she's been through.
He too doesn't notice how Frances displaces Celia, thinking she's become a friend to her, a trusted support.
Her ultimate target was clear to me after not too long but both Paul and for a while Celia were oblivious. When she starts to make a move, slowly and cautiously so anything could be taken as innocent I wanted to shake him, make him see how dangerous she was. I do love a character like that in a story though, keeps things interesting, makes the story ultimately very unpredictable in which was it will go.
Then there's Paul's awful brother Ralph, a greedy grasping boy grown into a selfish, power crazed man. He really was a horrible character, there's bits about his childhood bullying of John Carew here, but it did make me wonder if there was more in the second book, as I can't recall much from book one. However as I said that was years back so might just be my recollection. Certainly I understood John's need for revenge.
When Annetta finally came into the story I breathed a sigh of relief. Surely she'd see through Frances, and stop her machinations? Well, she does but there's only so much she can do, and its not without danger.
The story weaves cleverly from the big house at Bishopsgate initially, onto events at Court, to the home Ralph and Paul grew up in, and gradually unfolds, laying trails for what is to come.
It kept me guessing, wanting Frances out, wanting happiness together for Paul and Celia, and of course for John and Annetta. The four had been through so much, they really deserved that.
Events seem to be conspiring against them though, and the people above all have important parts in how the story played out.
I love Paul and Celia, and their enduring love, at a time when any whiff of scandal could have a lady ostracised and Paul with her. It would have been easy for him to just leave her abroad and make a life with someone "respectable", but hearts and feelings prevailed and they'd been reunited. It remained to be seen whether they could get that happy ending though.
Ultimately though I think my favourite characters were Annetta and John Carew – he's always John Carew in the story.
I loved how he and Annetta shared imaginary thoughts, heard advice from each other and at times it was hard to tell if it really was in their heads or if it was real in some way. It certainly felt real, though maybe that was because they knew each other so well they could predict what the other would say, how they would react.
It's clear how much they love each other still, after many years apart, even though he's told she's dead, and she is hoping he's alive, but so far she and Paul have been unable to trace him.
The events of the story take place over a few months, and were well paced even though the ending was bittersweet in a way.
Its one of those stories that are slow reading, gently absorbed, where the real world drops away as you become enmeshed in their lives and events.
I did find the first 20% really hard going though, too slow, even in a carefully and deliberately meandering tale. As I said I almost gave up, and that's a shame because I really enjoyed the rest.
I haven't mentioned the jewel, the piece that plays such a large part of the description – its important to the story, but in fact I feel its a kind of hidden backbone, directing so much of the ultimate events, and yet very sparse in actual storyline.
That worked well for me, enhanced the mystery of it, the rumours and stories about its power.
Stars: four, a fabulous read but so slow to start, and with the stories being so many years apart its hard to recollect exactly what happened in the past.

Dawn Study, Maria V. Snyder
Genre: Sci-fi and Fantasy
The final Valek and Yelena story….I've been waiting for this so long it feels.
I first discovered Fantasy via the wonderful Poison Study, which I'd ordered with a batch of paperbacks in my prekindle days when the first three were already out. I'd somehow thought it was a historical read – dunno why * shrug* my bad, but when I finally got to it I learned Fantasy wasn't all Star Trek, LotR and Terry Pratchett type reads and was hooked….Sometimes mistakes pay off 🙂
I felt the last book was slipping a little, still a worthy four star but that some of the magic ( hah!) had been lost for me, with the Commander being a very changed person from the one we first met, and looking back at my review I'd written this
"I am beginning to get a little tired of the issues of Null Shields, Theobroma and Curare though. It seems that they are becoming the catch all solution for both sides, and it means its very difficult to see what can happen when one of these "new" solutions keeps popping up. In some ways it evens the playing field, but I'm just not convinced when they seem to be the answers to every problem. I was happier when I knew it was down to the talents and skills ( good or bad) of certain individuals, whether magical or just well trained."
That sums up much of how I feel about this book too, its very much plan goes wrong, someone gets caught, someone gets rescued, make more plans, but when there's this null shields for magic, theobroma, curare, and now new versions of similar drugs then it gets a little tired, impossible to try to work out what can happen and that takes the fun out for me. There were so many times this format cropped up that it actually became repetitive, something I never thought I'd say, and I found myself rolling my eyes…
With the earlier books what I enjoyed was the magic v the skills learned and natural talents, so when they were fighting some would use magic but the skilled non magical people could still win with their natural talent for battle, and using the skills they had long trained for. Think of Ari and Janco training Yelena in that first book, and of her learning to use her bo staff with Mara, discovering that people without magic could still win if they were alert and clever enough. That seems to have got lost for much of this book, with even Valek's famous plans going wrong, and his much vaunted skills in espionage and conflict definitely showing his age…
It was good to meet Ari and Janco again – that duo never change and I love them. Likewise Little Miss Assassin, and some of the up and coming newer youngsters that look set to move into place if there are more books planned. Fisk is now a leader of a fairly large group, a clever man grown up from that quicksilver lad we first met. I always love seeing him, and his clever way of finding out things, knowing who has what skill and putting people where they're best utilised.
The storyline had become very complex with it being difficult to recall who was supposed to be on whose side, and why, and whether they were still with that group or had switched sides, or where playing a spy role. It made sense – in a way – but did become difficult to follow and dull at times.
I enjoyed the early reads when we knew who was for which side, when there were times a character – or a few characters – were duped, but not on the mass scale of this story.
I did enjoy the story, even with the repetitive bits and the other issue I mentioned, just that for me they stopped it from being a five star read, stopped me being glued to the book, having to read "just one more chapter" and finding out its 3am….all avid readers have been there!
I found myself actually putting it aside easily, and felt that when it did come to the final point it was almost a non event….
I can see the potential for the younger kids to move up into place for a new series, but unless its going to be like a return to those first books, more skills, more magic and less plant based improbable solutions to almost everything then I won't be reading… I don't think…. Depends I guess on what else is around at the time 😉
Its not a book you can read without earlier ones, even just reading the first two in this trilogy won't let you understand the minute details from the past, the things that shaped events now, and there are a myriad of little quips and reminisces here that refer back to those early reads. You could possibly miss out the glass trio, they weren't my favourites anyway, but then you'll still not really follow the storm-dance characters and what they do. Its one of those series where to get the best you need to start at the beginning and work through, though I haven't read any of the side novellas, and they are extras rather than essential reading.
Stars: its difficult to rate, I loved meeting all the characters, seeing how they'd grown up and changed, but that constant capture and release and magic v plants got old quickly for me. I guess I'm going three and a half. I thought about four but those parts do make up a substantial part of the story

Steam and Sensibility, A Steampunk Novel of Suspense, Kirsten Weiss
Genre: mystery and thrillers, sci-fi and fantasy
I haven't read a lot of Steampunk, a couple that were really enjoyable and a few that were OK reads, but its good to read outside one's comfort zone occasionally.
This book sounded fun, but for the first half it really was a western type read more than steampunk, with very little to bring the story into that category.
I liked Sensibility, and her confidence in her abilities, and enjoyed the aether refs, they made for a bit of extra and Steampunk does need that touch of magic IMO.
I wasn't really taken by any of the other characters though, and found the plot to be a little thin.
It seemed to be a who can be trusted and everyone is out to get the Journal, and rather too much bumbling around to fit my taste. It picked up after the halfway point, but never really hooked me fully into the story and the steampunk elements were very thin on the group.
The author mentions this was a book that has been reworked to fit the steampunk category and to me it feels like that, doesn't feel as if its fully immersed in the genre, but another story with added extras making it fit where the original story didn't. There was the watch, and the little mechanical sweeper she made, but no traditional elements such as dirigibles, fantastic creatures etc until close to the end.
Maybe it will appeal to steampunk lovers more than those like me who tend to stay on the fringes, I don't know, its not a bad book, just one that was only an OK read for me.
It's a fun read, but definitely a one off for me.
Stars: Three, an OK read but steampunk is a bit thin.

Wanted, A Gentleman, KJ Charles
Wanted, A Gentleman, KJ Charles
Genre: LGBTQIA, Romance
I never take much notice of covers but this one – that's just how Martin is in my mind!
I love KJ Charles writing, love the way she portrays the past with such vivid reality. Her books always make me think too about the issues raised.
This is a romance and yet there are serious points in it, slavery and the (im)morality of it, how homosexuality was a crime, debtors prison and the way that impacted on people's lives, plus of course the whole marrying a title/marrying for prestige and money conundrum.
The words too, she's one of the writers that really uses English to its fullest extent, throws in words I don't know – I can guess them from the context of course, so its not off-putting – but its fun to look them up, see where and how they originated and ponder on why they fell from use. Gamahuching – that one I'd read before in one of her books but is a wonderful word!
So we're back in time to when a free person of colour was still a novelty.
I loved Martin, loved the way he was so angry about his past, and yet he understood compared to others he'd been lucky.
When he's conversing with Theo about it though and Theo is trying to convince him he has the right to feel angry, doesn't need to feel obligated at being set free after being ripped from his family at 4 years old and given as a gift I felt so sorry for him. So sad that this was real for many people back then ( and for far too many now too!)
Its awful to think of kids being treated like that, and yet back then it was commonplace, and even ostensibly "free" people were treated as disposable in the same way.
I really enjoyed the way they talked about it, the way it gave me insights into what kind of people they were, the way it set the whole story solidly into that era where Money and Class ruled.
Theo is one of those "free" people who are anything but. He's scrabbling to make a living, haunted by past decisions, and really living hand to mouth.
I was so taken by the attraction between these two very different characters, and the way they came from disliking each other, full of cynicism and preconceived ideas about the other, to lovers.
Of course it being a heinous crime back then they had to be so very discreet to avoid being caught, imprison and lose what little freedom they had.
Its a great fun read, I loved they way the romance novels played such a great part, the way everything finally worked out. I was racking my brains for a solution but couldn't see one, and that's why I'll always be a reader not a writer 🙂
When things go wrong, poor, poor Theo, I so felt for him. I understood how Martin felt too and wondered what I'd do if I was either one of them. Its a sad tale and one that was all too common back then. The ending KJ gave us though was just perfect.
Stars: Five, I really enjoyed this but as a one off read. Its not got the appeal for me of the Magpie stories which are ones I enjoy re reading, but its still a well deserved 5* read for me.

Ethan's Heart, Vickie King
Ethan's Heart, Vickie King
Genre: Romance,
A step back in time here. back to the 1800's and we meet Annie and Ethan.
Circumstances have brought them together and I thought it sounded like a book I'd really enjoy but…though it was OK it wasn't one to set me on fire.
I had a few issues, the main one being the timing.
Ethan's only been widowed six months, and I just couldn't see how he went from grieving, heartbroken widower, desperately missing his beloved Elizabeth to falling for Annie within such a short time.
Equally the children – Mollie hates Annie, but within a month adores her.
Then there's Annie herself. After all that had happened, after what she was risking, could she just get swept off her feet in such a short time? Especially given they began with Ethan telling her he'd had a "real" wife and only needed her for the children, and she being so scared she'd slip and reveal her secret. They barely spoke, definitely kept out of each others way so its not as if they even had a full month to fall in love.
There were a few other niggles I can't explain without giving too much away but where I could have loved this story had they been addressed and the timespan much much longer as it is I just felt this was on OK, one off read.
Stars: Three, an OK read.

Lost in Time, (The Fine Art of Deception 3), Alyssa Richards
Lost in Time, (The Fine Art of Deception 3), Alyssa Richards
Genre: Romance, fantasy and paranormal
Well, the home stretch 🙂 I'm in two minds – always am at this point. I love to see how the trilogy/series ends and yet its hard saying goodbye to characters that feel so real, that I've worried about. How authors must feel I can't imagine.
Still, I love to reread good books, and this is one series that's so unusual, so different from anything else, that I think a back to back reading will be even more enjoyable than this piecemeal reading of instalments.
I had to reread the last couple of chapters of book two to remind myself where we were up to as its such a complex novel.
SO, by now after books one and two ( and don't try jumping into book three without reading those, you'll get hopelessly lost) we are well informed about the background and characters, though its been so intense and so very different to the usual fantasy/paranormal reads, that I have trouble recalling exactly how it all started and some of the connections. That's where a back to back session will make this trilogy even more enjoyable!
This picks up from the end of book two, where Blake and Addie have journeyed back through a Wentworth painting to 1920's. They're hoping they can find Addie's dad and grandfather, find and deal with Otto, and bring back Blake's mother who went with Otto under duress, knowing it was the only way to keep Blake and Addie safe. Simple then, should only take a short while….!
Note that term "deal with". They're all shying away from what they really mean, haven't quite faced up to what they have to do to stop him permanently.
Otto's such a mad man now, so unpredictable, unable to be reasoned with that everyone is shying away from what Deal means…there's little grounds to imprison him in the present time, he's done some awful things, committed murder, but there's no proof. Likewise the 1920's, even if they could manage to get him imprisoned he's bound to find a way out, or be there for just a short time. With his abilities to "push" people, and his manipulating but convincing nature he'd find a way.
He's a really clever man, if only he'd stuck to his first intentions and not let the power go to his head, want more and more and become obsessed over keeping Blake's mum. She loved him once, til he became obsessed with power and control.
Addie's worried about Blake, its been two years now back in time. They went as partners, taking Blake's half brother and her cousin, Phillipe, with them, but as time goes on Blake disappears for days at a time without telling her where or why he's gone. He's become more and more distant, obsessed with the twin aims of finding his mum, and keeping her and Addie safe from Otto. He's becoming a control freak, and even though Addie understands his fears its pushing her away.
Phillipe, who she's known since a child, has become much closer to her too, and Blake is jealous of that. Even though he can see what Addie needs from him, see that he's risking their relationship by his actions, he still can't seem to change, just getting vaguely irritated when she brings it up, saying he'll try harder but still going on the same way, convinced he and only he can keep her safe, make the decisions needed, shutting her out physically and emotionally. Phillipe loves Addie, will keep aside if Blake is who she wants, but can see the breach happening and is ready…he even warns Blake but nothing changes.
I loved the 1920's part, which covers most of the book. There are snippets to what's going on in the current time via the books that send messages. As the action moves from America to Paris though they need to find a third book so they can continue to communicate with Addie's family. That's not easy, Addie's dad and granddad know where one was earlier, but of course nothing is static and things change all the time so they have to hope its still there….
Throw in that Jack and Sarah, who are Blake and Addie in a previous incarnation, are alive here, that Blake is becoming more like Otto in the way he sees Addie, that Addie's dad and granddad have made a life for themselves back in time after 20 years there, and the story becomes ever more complex.
Addie's dad and granddad try to impress on Blake, Addie and Philippe how important it is not to interfere in the past, but with so much going on and being in the same place as their past selves its very difficult, and then things really come to a head!
Everything seems to happen at once, the past looks to be changing, they don't know why or how to put it right, can only guess, they catch up with Otto but it doesn't go well, Blake and Addie are still struggling. Philippe's feelings are getting more intense and Blake's jealousy stronger than ever, but he's still staying with ultimate control even though he can see what he's risking. Its as if he can't actually believe it, that the Soul Mates part that's brought them back together in this incarnation can't change – but it can, especially if the past changes…
I was desperate for them to make it, I love Philippe, but it's Blake and Addie that make the magic for me, they belong together, and I wanted that for them with Phillipe getting his own lady at some point. Would it happen though or would it all go wrong?
Its riveting story, full of surprises. I really felt I was back in the Twenties with them, loved the descriptions of the clothes, the day to day life, and the week it took them to sail to Paris. Travel wasn't quick and simple then. Of course they had money and that makes things easier, and it was because of the first two books, where we saw how they'd amassed what they needed that made this part feel so genuine.
I hate books where things come up for convenience, and they get funds by the equivalent of some kind of lottery win, unknown relative leaving a fortune or something. Done this way, where we know where the money has come from, can see the trail and it makes sense, then I'm happy.
The last quarter is non stop action it feels, with things looking positive, then its all turned around. There's several different plotlines all coming to a head at the same time, and its almost breathless the way I was speed reading through full of excitement, happy one moment and then down when it all went wrong once more.
I really couldn't guess how things would get resolved, what would happen, and its clever writing like this that kept me wondering if, how, why and when….
A fabulous read, something so very different in the Fantasy/Paranormal genre where it's dominated by stories are just a couple of hundred pages or less of a Vampire or Were hundreds of years old finding his Mate, in a simplistic, sickly thin story * roll eyes * so its a real treat to get a book I can really get stuck into, lost in the magic (!) of the story.
I'm hoping that maybe there's more to come from this world, perhaps Phillipe or some other relatives have inherited some of the reading/pushing talents that allow the story to continue but focus on them, and keeping Addie and Blake happy, just showing us them in cameo roles.
Stars: Five, one to keep, to savour rereading the whole trilogy back to back.

The following was written for October 2, 2016, "Our Daily Bread" by David McCasland:
My friend Bob Horner refers to Jesus as "the Master Reminder." And that is good, because we are so doubting and forgetful. No matter how often Jesus met the needs of the people who came to Him when He was here on earth, His first disciples feared they would somehow be left in need. After witnessing miracles, they failed to understand the greater meaning the Lord wanted them to remember.
On a journey across the Sea of Galilee, the disciples realized they had forgotten to bring bread and were talking about it. Jesus asked them, "Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?" (Mark 8:17–18). Then He reminded them that when He fed five thousand people with five loaves, the disciples had collected twelve basketfuls of leftover pieces. And when He fed four thousand with seven loaves, they filled seven baskets with leftovers. Then "He said to them, 'Do you still not understand?'" (v. 21).
The Lord's miraculous provision for people's physical needs pointed to the greater truth—that He was the Bread of Life and that His body would be "broken" for them and for us.
Every time we eat the bread and drink the cup during the Lord's Supper, we are reminded of our Lord's great love and provision for us.
In the Lord's Supper, Jesus left us a great reminder of His sacrifice. Read about it in Matthew 26:17–30; Luke 22:14–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26.
Communion is the Lord's reminder to us of His love and provision.
In Mark 7–8, Mark records three stories that highlight Jesus's ability to meet the needs of His followers: the exorcism of a demon-possessed girl (Mark 7:24–30), the healing of a deaf and mute man (7:31–37), and the feeding of four thousand people with seven simple loaves of bread (8:1–10). Mark tells these three stories in quick succession, underscoring Jesus's ability to meet the needs of people in a variety of situations. The apostle John calls the miracles Jesus performed "signs." Like all signs, they point to something. In the case of Jesus's miracles, they point to His true identity.
READ:Mark 8:11-21
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
