Lilly was unloved by her parents and lived a miserable life until they vanished and she was sent to a new life in Canada with the grand-father she had never met. Her new family have supernatural secrets which may put Lilly in danger and threaten her new relationship with Oliver.
I really enjoyed this book because of a wonderful mix of supernatural plot and beautifully written characters. You connect to poor Lilly and her miserable life, watching as she grows into a confident young adult with her new family and friends, but feeling guilty for loving her new life when her parents are missing. I found the whole idea of the raven and cat shifters fascinating and different from the usual shifter stories I read. I loved Rose, Jo, Gabriel and the rest of the family, and it was GREAT to see a school and community welcome the new girl for a change, instead of bullying her. A few comments have been made about the age gap between Lilly and Oliver. I felt that as Lilly was nearly 14 and Oliver was a young and less mature 17 year old because of his family losses, it was ok. Oliver was shy and awkward and the relationship was very innocent between them. The age gap thing also fits the pattern of everyone in the family marrying young to someone they bond with, which is explained by their supernatural genes. So I was fine with their relationship. The bit with the pair of angels nearly brought a tear to my eye, it was so sweet! (I won't spoil it by saying any more! The reveal of the mystery helper didn't surprise me, nor do I think it was meant to. Again no spoilers but I love this character so much! Everyone who was introduced just seemed to fit perfectly into the story, and there are a few minor characters that I want to see more of.
The plot is not all out action but a gradual reveal of Lilly's story. I was always keen to know what was coming next, which means that the author has a good storytelling ability. We learn the truth behind her cold upbringing and the family tragedy that led to it, the nature of her shifter abilities, the sad story of Rose and her lost love which really tugged the heartstrings because Rose is such a lovely person, the pain of your first love, and the exciting quest to the Elders to find out more about her father's circumstances. The things that happen during the quest were great twists which you can sometimes see coming, but you still want it to happen that way. I was quite sure before the quest that I knew what was going to happen in the second book, but I couldn't have been further from the truth! What happens on the quest throws open so many possibilities that I can't wait to read book 2!
So any niggles or issues? No. I really liked the book and the way it mixed the supernatural elements into normal life. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys YA paranormal whatever your age. No sexual content or f bombs etc so suitable for all YA readers.

"Raven" is about a young girl named Lilly Taylor, living in England with her parents, until they disappear one day. After she moves to Canada to live with her paternal grandfather, she finds out there's more to her (and her family) than meets the eye. She must learn to cope with this shocking information, discover the secret to her parents' disappearance, and navigate the course of young love.
I really enjoyed this book. It grabbed me from the beginning, and I found myself drawn to Lilly. Although she's only thirteen years old, she seems wise beyond her years throughout her story, and yet there are several incidences where you can see her for her true age. I am not ashamed to admit that there were tears in my eyes on quite a few occasions, as the author really knows how to pull the reader in to share in the characters' emotions.
I had no sooner finished the last sentence of "Raven" before I was purchasing the second book in the series, "December Moon," from Amazon. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds!

Concluí a leitura de "Raven" a 1 de Dezembro de 2011 e dou-lhe 4 estrelas.
Esta é uma história que combina diversos elementos do paranormal, como transmorfos, vampiros, lobisomens, bruxas e muitos outros. Para quem é fã do sobrenatural, é um livro em que certamente encontrará algo que lhe agrada.
Lilly é a personagem principal e tudo irá mudar radicalmente para ela. Agradou-me o dramatismo em torno da vida dela em Londres. A descrição das emoções está muito bem conseguida e quase senti uma "nuvem negra" a pairar sobre mim tal como sobre ela. Nesta primeira parte Lilly relacionou-se principalmente com a sua suposta mãe, pelo que me surpreendeu mais à frente a menção ao amor que ela sentia pelo pai, que esteve praticamente ausente. Tudo bem, é uma jovem de 13 anos, é normal que goste dos pais apesar de não lhe darem muito carinho, mas esta foi uma figura que praticamente não integrou a história, pelo que achei um pouco esquisita a afeição/ preocupação súbitas da Lilly em relação ao pai.
O desaparecimento dos pais é deveras um mistério intrigante e o quarto vazio leva-nos a especular sobre o que lhes terá acontecido. Confesso que concebi imensas teorias, mas não acertei, lol!
Na segunda parte da história, a personagem principal vai viver para a casa do avô, no Canadá. É giro vê-la a descobrir coisas novas e a conhecer o mundo, algo que lhe estava vetado antes.
A boa recepção da família é positiva, no entanto a paixão por Oliver foi demasiado repentina (se bem que a família tem um grande historial de amores à primeira vista, pelo que ela não fugiu à regra). Se me perguntarem, ela é demasiado nova para romances. Mas a autora não se demorou em cenas românticas e o ponto fulcral reside antes na descoberta do sobrenatural e história da família, o que é óptimo.
Analisando as coisas agora com mais algum distanciamento, acho que a história é muito "cor-de-rosa" e precisava de mais "negro". O avô é excessivamente bondoso, a família é muito complacente e depois há a coincidência maravilhosa de descobrirem uma prima há muito perdida. Quanto à última parte, creio que se podia ter adensado o mistério em torno de Tabitha em vez de se revelar logo tudo.
Para terminar, gostei da surpresa da autora em relação ao título. Não vou ser "spoiler" e explicar; digo apenas que o compreendo e que foi engraçado descobrir a relação entre o mesmo e a Lilly.
I finished reading "Raven" on December 1st 2011 and I rate it 4 stars.
This is a story that combines various elements of the paranormal, such as shape-shifters, vampires, werewolves, witches and many others. For anyone who's a fan of the supernatural, you'll find something you like in this book for sure.
Lilly is the main character and everything will change radically for her. I liked the drama surrounding her life in London. The description of the emotions is very successful and I almost felt a "black cloud" hanging over me as over her. In this first part Lilly dealt mainly with her supposed mother, so I was surprised later by the mention to the love she felt for her father, who was absent. Okay, she's a 13 year old girl, it's normal for her to love her parents despite they don't give her much affection, but dad was a figure that was hardly part of the story, so I thought it was a little weird the sudden affection / concern of Lilly toward her father.
The disappearance of her parents was a very intriguing mystery, and the empty room leads us to speculate about what had happened to them. I confess that I conceived a lot of theories, but I didn't picture the right one, lol!
In the second part of the story, the main character lives in her grandfather's house, in Canada. It's nice to see her discovering new things and getting to know the world, something that was vetoed to her before.
The girl was well received by her family, which was positive. As for her passion for Oliver, it was too sudden (though the family has a long history of love at first sight, so she was no exception). If you ask me, she's too young for romance. But the author didn't linger in romantic scenes and the main point lies in the discovery of the supernatural and the family history instead, which is great.
Looking at things now over some distance, I think the story is too "pink" and needed more "black". The grandfather is too kind, the family is very helpful, and then there's the wonderful coincidence of discovering a long lost cousin. As for the last part, I think that the mystery around Tabitha could have thickened rather than just reveal everything at once.
To finish, I liked the surprise of the author about the title. I won't be "spoiler" and explain it; I'll just say that I got it and it was funny to discover how it was related to Lilly.

There was a lot of intro to get into this story but after I got past all the necessary garbage poor Lilly had to go through I very much enjoyed this story. It has a great twist that isn't quite like the vampire/werewolf stories out on the market today but is enough like them to be very appealing to people that like that genre.
I don't particularly care for the trite vampire novels but I do love a good story and this was just that. The twist was unique enough that I found it entertaining and I loved reading this book. The characters, especially Gabriel, were very personable and likeable right from the start. I knew we were all going to be good friends.
I was happy for the ending and it didn't really hold any surprises for me. I think this story was more of a tale rather than a suspense although I do think suspense was what the author may have been after. To improve it, more detail would be great for the scenes where there are troubles and more extremes for good guy/bad guy … like he/she's so the best in the world then he/she turns out to be a villain.
Overall, I liked this book and recommend it as a must read. It was well written with an easy to follow storyline.

Lilly Taylor is a young, beautiful girl who has been raised in a lie. Her parents have raised her to think that in a family it's normal to show no affection. That it's normal to eat cold, canned food everyday, and that wearing the same color everyday is a part of life for any normal family. But after returning home from school one day, she finds out that her parents have disappeared and her life changes completely. I don't like giving to much away, so I'll try to keep this review short. Suzy Turner has done a very good job of giving you alot of mystery, a pinch of romance, and a dash of family unity that I found refreshing. This was actually the first book I've read that I can honestly say didn't have an overabundance of romance. It actually had very little romance and a great deal of mystery and I found that to be refreshing.
This book will have you up till late reading and the way that it ends was very well thoughtout. I actually thought that there were going to be some loose ends at the end, but everything came together masterfully. There were some areas that I found alittle boring, but they were very few and far between.
I give this book 4 out of 5 hearts. This is a book that I think many people with a love for the paranormal would really enjoy and I would recommend it to them all.

For many, the world of the supernatural is real. In this novel, you'll meet vampires, werewolves, changelings, witches; and of course, an evil stepmother.
Having grown up in a cold and loveless home, Lily Taylor never realized how different the first thirteen years of her life had been, compared to that of other children, until the mysterious disappearance of her parents.
Travel to Canada with this shy, yet mature girl, in her quest to unravel the mystery of her parents' disappearance. Read how she discovers the delights of being part of a large family whose members have some very extraordinary gifts. You will truly feel part of the warm circle of friends and relatives that support Lily on her mission, and which emphasizes the importance of mutual support in a group where every member is unusual in one way or another.
This, the first book in a new series full of lovely characters and thrilling adventure, made me look forward to the second book, "December Moon".
A highly recommended read for young and old alike!

Lilly has always lived a rather strange life. She didn't realize how strange until her parents disappeared one day. While her parents are missing; Lilly must move to Canada to live with a grandfather that she has never met. Once she arrives, she discovers that the woman she thought was her mother isn't. Not to mention the fact that some members of her family have the ability to turn into ravens. It turns out that Lilly's life is only going to get even stranger.
I was pretty intrigued by this book. It has a good premise and some interesting takes on the whole paranormal normality. The history and the organization of the shape-shifting community is very interesting. What detracts from the book are the character's reactions to events. All the characters are completely open minded and angst free. I honestly could not make up my mind whether it was a refreshing change of pace or completely annoying. At the very least it was unrealistic (I know, I know it is a fantasy book but still...) Several of the characters received extremely unexpected news and they all basically say "huh, that 's weird, but I guess I'll get used to it."
At the end we get a teaser about what has happened to a fairly minor character in this book. If the minor character gets a book I hope her reactions are a bit more realistic.

Raven was a delightful surprise. From the moment I picked up the book until the day I regretfully reached the end , I thoroughly enjoyed it. It may be targeted for young adults, but this book has appeal for all ages. The storyline was engaging and original. The quality of writing reflects the insured future of this writer, and that is successful. Honestly, I didn't want to put it down, so when I found out the is a sequel I was excited. Keep up the great work you have a follower and a fan in me!

Not what I was expecting, the cover doesn't look like a 13 yr old. I really liked the story though once I started. It was a fast read that I didn't want to put down.
Lilly has grown up in a very sheltered and strict household and doesn't know any different. Her parents seem to never really talk to her and she thinks this is normal. She ends up coming home from school one day to no one home, which never happens. She ends up going to Canada to live with her grandfather that she really didn't know about and meeting her family for the first time. She's welcomed with open arms and experiences what a true family is, love, comfort, and acceptance.
I can't really get into much more than that without giving anything away. Awesome story and I can't wait to read the next one.

I am so glad that I was given the chance to read this amazing book. All of the characters fit so well together. From the first page you feel for Lily. She has a mother who hates her and restricts her to school and home. Lily has no idea that this is not normal. This has been her life for as long as she can remember. Lily's father is more of a shadow than a person. Little does she know that there are so many secrets and lies. One day Lily comes home to find their home empty. Her parents are gone and her world is going to be turned upside down. Eventually Lily meets her fathers side of the family and the answers to her questions are more confusing than the questions.

on Sep. 11, 2011 :
First, what I liked: 1. this is a very effective cover. 2. I wanted to like this book. I really did. I read all these great reviews and expected a wonderful book.
A major irritation was the "telling not showing" issue. As a reader, I can tell what a raised eyebrow or a wink means. I don't need several more sentences to explain it. I would have liked to have seen dialogue used to advance the plot. Show HOW characters are bonding, rather than to be told they 'talked into the night and bonded.' I found the characters quite stilted and uni-dimensional because they couldn't reveal themselves in their own words.
I would probably have liked it more if I wasn't an English teacher. The average 13 year old is probably not going to notice that there were mechanical errors on almost every page. Between spelling errors, incorrect verb tenses, misplaced modifiers, faulty pronoun references, and poorly wielded commas, I kept having to put this down and walk away from it. I read two other books in single sittings in the same period.
I did not believe the instant love interest between Lilly and Oliver. She is 13. He has graduated from high school and has been working, so he's 18 or 19. I have taught both age levels. Trust me: never the twain shall meet! Any 18 year old interested romantically in a 13 year tends to be seriously slimy. I just kept wondering what was wrong with him. Then, just as quickly as he fell in, he falls out of love and has to leave the community. That didn't work with the set up. I presume he'll show up in the later books, but frankly, I don't really care.
Those issues would have rated it a three from me. However, there were huge setting issues.
I live in BC. This book is set in BC and it is plain that there was no Canadian editor checking accuracy or vocabulary. FYI- here soda is pop, a beanie is a toque, a rucksack is a backpack, and the likelihood of a scone showing up as a packed lunch is very, very low. A muffin or some bannock, on the other hand, would have fit. I didn't mind when Lilly made the mistakes at the beginning, but when First Nations Canadian characters said blatantly un-Canadian things, I wanted to scream.
I was also really irritated by the fact that Lilly's family is introduced as the Tulugaqs. My first thought was "Why does her family have an Inuit name, if they're from around Vancouver?" I double checked to be sure. Yes, 'tulugaq' is Inuktitut for raven, so Turner got that right. However, Powell River, where Lilly's family lives, is the land of the Sliammon people- a Coast Salish tribal group, not an Inuit group from the Arctic. In Sliammon language, raven is 'poho.' I waited all book to hear the back story of why the family had moved over TWO THOUSAND KILOMETRES from the Inuit lands of the North to come live in Powell River, but it didn't happen. This is equivalent to setting the Scottish Picts in North Africa without explanation! Rather a huge error, actually. I will grant, however, that it is unlikely to be spotted by anyone from outside Canada.
Another one that made me grumpy: The end of January she has just gotten her cast off. Lilly says she wore it 2 months, which means her implausible log crushing accident was the end of November. During her time in a cast she celebrates Thanksgiving and Christmas. If she was in the USA, she might just have made Thanksgiving, but in Canada, our Thanksgiving happens the second Monday of OCTOBER- 5 or 6 weeks before the accident.
I believe an author needs to be responsible about setting. Not everyone will notice the errors, but it is important to be respectful enough to the 'host community' to get it right. It's the difference between an okay story and a great one.
These significant issues made it very difficult for me to enjoy this book. If I had not promised a review, I would never have finished reading it. I definitely will not be reading any others in the series.

For some people, there are many things to get addicted to. For me, it's a good book that gets me hooked. And Raven? It's a fantastic book that had me hooked from start to finish.
It's the story of Lilly Taylor, a teenage girl living in England. The kids at school call her Mellow Yellow because everything she wears is yellow.
Lilly is a lonely girl who doesn't receive affection from her parents. Her mother feeds her tinned food, and usually it is cold.
But she thinks this is normal. After all, she has no friends to compare experiences with.
One day, she meets a new girl at school, December Moon.
It soon becomes clear that Lilly and December are two peas in a pod. From then on, they are best friends.
Lilly's life continues in this fashion until one day something happens that though she doesn't realise it at the time, changes Lilly's life forever.
Jack and Vivian, her parents, disappear.
Lilly having no other family, is taken in by the next door neighbours, sisters, Dorothy and June, until social services can investigate her parents sudden disappearrance.
Dorothy and June soon realise that Lilly has never eaten a decent home cooked meal, and does not know how to cook for herself. So they decide to teach her the basics.
Consumed by guilt over enjoying herself after what happened to her parents, Lilly cuts off her hair and uses a bottle of dye to completely change it. She also decides that she needs new clothes and the sisters help her to make new outfits on their sewing machine.
After a while, Social Services decide to send Lilly to live with family in Canada.
Lilly knows nothing of Canada or her family there. Her parents never told her, and the times her grandfather wrote to her, Vivian intercepted the letters.
The one time she managed to get a letter, she learned her grandfathers name is Gabriel, but Vivian snatched the letter and tore it up before she could read more.
Upon arriving in Canada, she is met at the airport by Ben and driven to Powell River. Lilly doesn't realise that day how much being there will change her life.
When she meets Gabriel he tells her "We have waited many moons for this day to come Lillian Tulugaq, welcome home. Welcome home."
Upon asking him about her surname, as she thought it was Taylor, Gabriel tells her it has long been the name of their forefathers, "It is the great black bird of the sky, the Raven"
Now it would not be fair for me to tell you the rest of the story, but suffice to say, Lilly makes friends, finds a boy she likes, Oliver, and is shown a completely different side to her life.
The story has twists, turns and quirks that captivate the readers imagination. If you like supernatural, then this is a book for you.
I was certainly surprised and held captive until the end.
Now I cannot wait for the sequel, December Moon, in September.
This story spoke to me as a girl who had her share of hardships, and I only wish I had had the journey Lilly had, and made the discoveries she did. Boy would my life have been different (and I would have known vampires, werewolves and werecats amongst other things, were real)
Suzy Turner has a beautiful way with words that touched my heart immensely.
I am not ashamed to say I shed a few tears. It is suitable for teens, but also suitable for people my age too (*whispers I am 28*)
For all of you who look at this book and wonder if you should buy it, you really REALLY should. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. It is worth a lot more than the price you will pay for it. Don't believe me? Take a look and see for yourself.
Thank you Suzy for writing it, and I eagerly await the final two installments

Lately I have been stumbling across some of the most amazing YA writers, and Suzy Turner is by far one of the best. I love the fact that she has brought elements of all supernatural beings into her story and the plot was very well thought out where explanations for every aspect were articulated so there was no mistake. She writes with intelligence and precision and the result is something otherworldy and completely beautiful.
This story is about Lilly Taylor, otherwise known as Lilly Tulugaq a 13, almost 14 year old girl that has grown up without the true love of a parent her entire life. For so long she has thought it was normal for parents to act the way hers did until they disappear... that's when she starts to find out that her world is anything but normal and her true family is something that fantasies and dreams are made of. When she goes to live with her grandfather Gabriel, she not only finds the acceptance and love she always craved, but she finds an entire world that is far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
This YA novel is a definite must read and don't miss out on our contest for the sequel this month! But don't read "December Moon" until you've read "Raven" you can find both of these books on Amazon.com.

I received this book from the author. I also received it free for the privledge of reviewing it. Since this is not a genre I would normally read I am really glad to have put my name in to review it as I would have missed out on an excellent book.
Lilly Turner is the main character in the book and leads a very sad life until her father and the person she assumed was her mother disappear. She is sent to Canada to live with her grandfather where she learns the secrets of her family.
This was an amazing book and will be getting a copy of it for my grandaughter as I think she will like it. I am waiting for the next book called December Moon to be out as I will be getting it as well.

My review: I received a copy of this ebook from the author on the suggestion of a dear book friend, Megan from Amythest Daydreams. I committed to a review in exchange for the ebook. I would have gladly paid FULL price and then some for this book (I love paperback books and if this would have been a paper book, I might have squeezed the words right out of it hugging it)! I literally could not put it down.
The world that Suzy Turner has created is amazing. I was hooked from the first page. I could not read it fast enough. The story flowed so well and I could totally picture everything I was reading. I was so lost in this book, meaning it sucked me in so far, that I was clueless as to the world around me.
The beginning introduces us to our main character Lilly, who leads a very sad life. She seems to be such a wonderful little girl who is horribly mistreated by her parents. She goes to school and comes home. She knows she is an outcast and has no friends for several reasons. She is TERRIFIED of her mother. She meets a new girl at school and finally makes a friend. Life is looking up for Lilly until she gets home from school and her parents are GONE. Vanished...not a trace. From here, Lilly finds out that a whole world exists that she knew nothing about. She lives with some neighbor ladies for a bit before finding out she is leaving her home in London to move to Canada, where her Paternal Grandfather lives. Upon arriving in Canada, Lilly finds the family she has always wanted and a few family secrets she would have never dreamed of!
When I first started reading, I was a little confused. I soon found out that it was not the book at all, but ME!! Our author, Suzy Turner actually lives in Portugal. It took me a bit to adjust to the dialect but then I imagined her reading the story in my head & fell in love with all over again. I love that this book brought my mind into perspective of living the language and culture of our neighbors all over the world!
My emotional range throughout this book was off the charts! NO LIE! One minute I was smiling like a big cheesy smile and then tears would be falling down my face.
Thank you Suzy for writing such an AMAZING story!!!

Lilly is about to discover that everything she's known in her 14 short years is a lie. She has to come to grips with a new family that she didn't even know existed, and why this has happened to her, plus she discovers a para-normal family secret. The language in this book is beautiful and I could hear Lilly's English accent in her dialogue and I really fell in love with her. I couldn't wait to see what happened next, and it was very hard to put down. This tale had me crying and laughing, and that is the best sign of a great story.

The story is about a young girl, Lillian Taylor, who comes home from school one day to discover that her parents have gone missing. This is when Lillian is thrown into her new life in a strange world. She embarks on an incredible journey and slowly begins to unravel the daunting mystery behind who she really is. She constantly struggles to fit into this changing new world around her. There are a few surprises, and they aren't always nice. This story will appeal to anyone who enjoys the YA fantasy genre. At 99c, you can't go wrong. This book ticks all the right boxes for an enjoyable read. And when the story comes to an end, you'll be looking for the next book in the series, December Moon - which is due for release very soon I believe - I checked on Suzy's web page.

Raven is Suzy Turner's debut novel for young adults. In it we follow the character of Lillian Taylor as she goes on an epic journey across the world to find herself and the family that she has lost. Over the course of her journey, Lilly learns that there is far more to life than the meager existence that she has lived for the past 13 years. She learns that she has family across the world who she has never met and who are dying to have her home with them. She also learns some hard to swallow truths about herself and her parents. It's a wonderful story of a young woman finding herself.
Lilly's life is the same day in and day out. Everyday she wears ugly yellow clothes, cold soup from cans and silence. She's watched every hour of every day. Lilly isn't allowed to make friends or to have fun. School, food, sleep and silence- that's her life until one day, she comes home from school and finds her parents are missing. When they are not found, she is sent to live with her paternal grandfather who she has never met across the world. She must leave England to go to Western Canada. When she reaches Powell River, she meets the family that she never knew she had and begins to unlock the mysteries of her life. What makes Lilly special? Well, you'll just have to read Raven to find out!
I loved this book because it was so new, interesting and different. The beginning is almost painful to read as we see Lilly struggle through her life, completely isolated. Then after she is sent to Canada, she begins to grow and change. She becomes more sure of herself. She learns about what life is really like and how to live it. Lilly finds love and experiences the joy and pain of first love. She also finds out the truth behind her life and begins to delve into her parents' disappearance. Lilly also learns that she has possibly inherited a gift from both of her parents. This gift opens a world of possibilities for her and she's forced to accept that there might be more to the world than meets the eye. I loved Lilly's character but I also enjoyed Rose. Rose is like a mentor and a mother figure to Lilly and she has lived an amazing life. She's not your typical older lady. She's an artist who is a little eccentric and who has a secret gift of her own. All in all, this was an enthralling read that is everything but ordinary. I would say that it is suited to readers 12 and up.

My review:
I didn't know what to expect from Suzy Turner's debut novel, but I am sincerely glad that I got to review this wonderful book! I was captured from the first page. Raven is the first book in the series and gives a very good introduction to the surroundings, characters and story itself. Even though it is the first book in series, then it still gives a standalone story. One more thing which is wonderful about this book – it can be read by middle grade, young adults and adults like me. It was an interesting book to read and also well written.
Regarding the plot:
Meet thirteen your old Lilly Taylor, whose parents disappear from one day to another. Nobody has a clue where they are. Lilly simply comes home and they are gone and their bedroom is empty – no furniture, no nothing - just a small bottle of blood and black colored walls.
When the story develops you found more information about Lilly and her family's weird life: no friends are allowed, no going outside except school is allowed, no TV allowed, no affection from mother, no attention from father and it somehow gave me creeps and made me read the book even faster. I wanted to know what is going to happen!
Police is not capable of finding her parents and Lilly is moving from London to Canada where she is meeting the rest of her family which she had no clue about existing. And then the truth comes out about who Lilly is and what it means to have a family.
Raven was a wonderful and easy paranormal read. You don't want to miss that!
Regarding the characters:
There many interesting characters and they all had a part of the story to tell and carry in the book. Even the smaller characters had a role to play. Since I cannot describe all of them in the review, I will mention only the very best of them.
Lilly was a mystery for me when I started reading the book. I did not understand in the beginning what was wrong with her family and I later found out that this was exactly the author's intention – you found answers to your many questions throughout the story. Lilly was very sweet, naïve and innocent, she basically did not know anything about family ties, love and life as such. She was kept from everything around her. I loved following how she grew after meeting her grandfather's family. She blossomed after finding her family in Canada. The author created such a wonderful girl while writing Lilly.
My other absolute favorite character in the book was Rose, Lilly's mother's sister. She was so smart, leveled, clever and sweet and loving. The way Rose embraced Lilly was overwhelmingly nice.
Suzy Turner's Raven is a book which should be a must read of 2011! I'm looking very much forward to read the next book of the series to come out. One of the best and warmest paranormal books I've read.
5 stars out of 5!

on June 03, 2011 :
Raven is a spine tingling teen (YA) paranormal story with several different twists and turns. I was honestly pleased with all the unique elements within the story that was written by Suzy Turner. Her writing style, effort to entertain, and create a mind boggling adventure truly has paid off in this debut story.
Many times as I read, I was wowed. A lot of the elements or even simple little pieces Suzy wrote I never read or remember reading anything similar. Raven was a refreshing read.
The plot moved quickly and the characters were engaging even diabolical in some cases. I loved that it had good and bad characters. A paranormal story isn't good unless it has both and I loved the wicked side of the ones who caused the main character, Lilly, pain. Because without them Lilly's life would not have been as adventurous or intriguing.
For those who enjoy YA paranormals with love, mystery and a somewhat dark twisty plot then Raven should be on your to-read list!

Need help with this Garage sell find. 88 Score, 89 Fleer, 89 Topps, 89 Topps Traded.
So I came across this huge box of Baseball cards at a Garage sell. Paid $20 for it all and this is what I got:
1988 Score Collector Set 660 Player Cards 56 Magic Motion Taivia Cards
1989 Donruss Complete Set
1989 Fleer Logo Stickers and Trading Cards Factory Sealed
2 1989 Topps Complete Set Factory Sealed
1987 Topps Complete Set
12 little red boxes 1989 Topps Baseball "Traded Series"
The guy I got them from told me that there was atleast a couple hundred dollars worth of cards. Im thinking to my self that he probably doesn't know the market these days. Why else would he be selling this box for $20??
As soon as I got home I hit eBay. I know I have Ken Griffey Jr RC's along with Randy Johnson RC's, Deion Sanders RC's, Craig Biggio's.
I dunno what to do with these?? Leave the sealed sets, sealed or pull the Rookies out and have them graded??
To be honest, I would pull the Griffey and Johnson rookies and see if they could grade well.
Once it gets cold, use the score and 87s in your fireplace.
If the sets are all factory sealed see what you could get for them. I'm sure you will make your money back alone on the Topps Traded. Take into account what the grading will cost and check to see what they go for graded.
If this was purely a buy with the intent to sell for profit sell them sealed. You will make your money and your profit and take out the risk of the Griffeys not grading well.
Garage SALE
I sold a lot of this stuff at a show a couple years ago for $1-$3 a set. I started at $5 and no one bought, kept going down until it was gone.
[QUOTE=joey_peapod;3424840]Garage SALE[/QUOTE]
Thank you!
I hope you actually looked to see if the griffey cards are in the boxes......
Do the following..
88 Score.. find the Tom Glavine, burn the rest
89 Donruss.. find Griffey, Smoltz, Biggio, Randy Johnson, and Sheffield.. burn the rest
89 Fleer... find Griffey, Smoltz, Biggio, Randy Johnson, and Sheffield.. burn the rest
89 Topps...find Smoltz, Biggio, Randy Johnson, and Sheffield.. burn the rest
87 Topps.. Find Bonds, McGwire, Larkin... burn the rest
89 Topps Traded... Find Griffey and RJ.. burn the rest
If you don't follow the above advice... I REALLY hope you paid less than $5 each for the big sets and under $3 each for the traded sets.. that's what they are worth retail... if that
16 Griffey Jr. Rookies plus the others for a total of $20 bucks??? Not bad at all. Hell we piss that away on 3 or 4 packs anymore easy and get jack schitt for our money. But yeah outside of the main rookies or "star" players the rest are filler material. Use them to ship with when you sell ;)!

When the members of the Cuban delegation march on to the pitch in Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium for the 19th Maccabiah's opening ceremony, they will be making Jewish sporting history. Although individual Cuban athletes have participated in the Maccabiah before, this is the first time that an official delegation from the communist island south of Florida has come to Israel to take part in the games.
If all goes according to plan, the 44 athletes, as well as their coaches and chaperones, will all be sporting spiffy new uniforms in the red, white and blue of the Cuban flag – with the letters PRT sewn onto their sleeves. The letters, however, do not denote any sacred Cuban motto or historic rallying cry: they are the initials of Preston Robert Tisch, the late Jewish billionaire philanthropist who lived his life far away in New York.
His son, Steve Tisch, an Oscar-winning film producer and co-owner of the New York Giants American football team, decided to inscribe the initials on the uniforms as a "personal footnote" to commemorate his late father. He agreed to pay for the design and manufacture of the uniforms during a recent tour of Havana after a 72-year-old leader of the Jewish community convinced him that it was the right thing to do.
The "amazingly charismatic dynamic and passionate" Adela Dworin, as Tisch describes her, who serves as vice president of the El Patronato center at the Beth Shalom synagogue in Havana, was well prepared for her meeting with Tisch. "She knew of my involvement in sports and she knew that I was in the movie business, and that I would be drawn to the fact that this is a great story to tell. I told her I'd be honored," Tisch recalls.

"This invitation had plenty of room for all the information we wanted to include, and we used the back of the card to share where our daughter will be attending college in the fall. We chose the matte paper, which was perfect as the black background resembles a chalkboard look. The black also was a nice contrast to our photos."
"I have had many compliments from family and friends about how nice my sons graduation card turned out. I liked how I could put so many different pictures on to view. Also, how I could mix colored and black and white pictures."
"We Love this card --- very happy with the product when it arrived - the pictures are great! The only thing, if I had to mention something, would be the very tiny picture option on the back of the card .. the size is pretty small; however I knew that when I finished the design; not sure what else you would put there? LOVED that they give you a heads up on the extra postage too if you mail this in a regular square envelope, so we opted for them them to send a larger size to avoid the extra cost."
"This can be used for two graduates because the text can be changed and also font type to fit what you need to print. Shimmer paper brings out pics more. Im very happy"
"This design was fun to work with and easy to fit all the details into the designated text area. The photo layout fell into place with ease. I love the finished product and quality of paper. Delivery turnaround was extremely fast - I just love this card!"

A forged copy of a company check was presented to be cashed but was dishonored when it was learned that the check was forged. This information was presented by college officials to law enforcement for an investigation. Additional information may be available from the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office. Ari Ben Aviator is an FAA approved flight school and a federal and state accredited college that offers Associate Degrees in Aeronautical Science and pilot certificates from private pilot to airline transport pilot. Ari Ben Aviator has nothing to do with a "vinyl wrap for automobiles" nor does it have "speciaists" to do so.

The Art of Public Speaking HTML version
Why wait for a more convenient season for this broad, general preparation? The fifteen minutes that we spend
on the car could be profitably turned into speech-capital.
Procure a cheap edition of modern speeches, and by cutting out a few pages each day, and reading them
during the idle minute here and there, note how soon you can make yourself familiar with the world's best
speeches. If you do not wish to mutilate your book, take it with you--most of the epoch-making books are now
printed in small volumes. The daily waste of natural gas in the Oklahoma fields is equal to ten thousand tons
of coal. Only about three per cent of the power of the coal that enters the furnace ever diffuses itself from your
electric bulb as light--the other ninety-seven per cent is wasted. Yet these wastes are no larger, nor more to be
lamented than the tremendous waste of time which, if conserved would increase the speaker's powers to their
nth degree. Scientists are making three ears of corn grow where one grew before; efficiency engineers are
eliminating useless motions and products from our factories: catch the spirit of the age and apply efficiency to
the use of the most valuable asset you possess--time. What do you do mentally with the time you spend in
dressing or in shaving? Take some subject and concentrate your energies on it for a week by utilizing just the
spare moments that would otherwise be wasted. You will be amazed at the result. One passage a day from the
Book of Books, one golden ingot from some master mind, one fully-possessed thought of your own might
thus be added to the treasury of your life. Do not waste your time in ways that profit you nothing. Fill "the
unforgiving minute" with "sixty seconds' worth of distance run" and on the platform you will be
immeasurably the gainer.
Let no word of this, however, seem to decry the value of recreation. Nothing is more vital to a worker than
rest--yet nothing is so vitiating to the shirker. Be sure that your recreation re-creates. A pause in the midst of
labors gathers strength for new effort. The mistake is to pause too long, or to fill your pauses with ideas that
make life flabby.
Choosing a Subject
Subject and materials tremendously influence each other.
"This arises from the fact that there are two distinct ways in which a subject may be chosen: by arbitrary
choice, or by development from thought and reading.
"Arbitrary choice ... of one subject from among a number involves so many important considerations that no
speaker ever fails to appreciate the tone of satisfaction in him who triumphantly announces: 'I have a subject!'
"'Do give me a subject!' How often the weary school teacher hears that cry. Then a list of themes is suggested,
gone over, considered, and, in most instances, rejected, because the teacher can know but imperfectly what is
in the pupil's mind. To suggest a subject in this way is like trying to discover the street on which a lost child
lives, by naming over a number of streets until one strikes the little one's ear as sounding familiar.
"Choice by development is a very different process. It does not ask, What shall I say? It turns the mind in
upon itself and asks, What do I think? Thus, the subject may be said to choose itself, for in the process of
thought or of reading one theme rises into prominence and becomes a living germ, soon to grow into the
discourse. He who has not learned to reflect is not really acquainted with his own thoughts; hence, his
thoughts are not productive. Habits of reading and reflection will supply the speaker's mind with an
abundance of subjects of which he already knows something from the very reading and reflection which gave
birth to his theme. This is not a paradox, but sober truth.
"It must be already apparent that the choice of a subject by development savors more of collection than of
conscious selection. The subject 'pops into the mind.' ... In the intellect of the trained thinker it
concentrates--by a process which we have seen to be induction--the facts and truths of which he has been
reading and thinking. This is most often a gradual process. The scattered ideas may be but vaguely connected

Pregnant with number 2, and feeling the pain of allergies. Last time I had really low supply and couldn't exclusively BF, I would like to NOT have that problem this time- I was told that anti-histamine medication may have been a contributing factor.
Anybody have some facts? Or at least some guidelines? I'm only 2 months pregnant at the most and not sure when, if ever it is ok, or how often, etc... I would just like some relief from the sneezing and watery eyes!
Blarg, blarg-blargity- BLARG!!!
I thought it was the decongestants that were the contributing factor in low supply. Make sure that whatever you take doesn't contain a decongestant (Often times, the brand name has a -D tacked on the end i.e. Claritn-D) Call a La Leche League leader that has a current copy of Dr. Hale's book "Medications and Mother's Milk" to find out what his research has discovered about the specific drug you plan to take.
Some people say taking a tablespoon of locally produced honey every day can help with allergies. It has to be local so that the bees have been working around the same pollens that you are being exposed to.
I take claritin (loretadine) for allergies with no supply issues. (But I never had low supply.)
I agree with the PP that the decongestant part (pseudoephedrine) is usually what's blamed for loss of supply.
Ugh, Sudafed (which a doctor told me to take) dried me up with ds1. It happened SO fast.

We stayed in a hotel on the river front which is a really good location as you are away from the hectic city and the hotels all offer a boat shuttle to take you into the main areas.
The city seems to have changed quite a bit since I was last here 5 years ago.
The sky train is a good way to get around as well as the boats. Taxis are really cheap here you just have to be careful with the traffic. Tuk Tuks are also a popular mode of transport here.
Along the river are a good selection of hotels and restaurants and a really good night market.
We had afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental which was gorgeous, lots of good quality food, great value and an amazing setting. That evening we headed to Calypso Bangkok Theatre on the riverfront to watch a 'ladyboy' show - great fun!
The following day we had a full day sightseeing tour. We visited Ayutthaya a world heritage site with palaces and temples and returned back to Bangkok by boat along the Chao Phraya river.
We visited Bang Pa-In Palace - the royals summer palace and three temples, Wat Maha That, Wat Na Phra Mane and Wat Lokayasutharam.

Steptoe & Johnson LLP got its start
representing the airline industry, as well as pipelines, railroads,
and foreign companies whose assets had been seized during World War
II. Today, the firm serves as counsel to a number of blue-chip
clients and is routinely ranked among the top firms for
international trade, insurance, tax, intellectual property, energy,
white-collar criminal defense litigation and evolving Internet law,
including "open Internet" policies, privacy, law enforcement and
Cavaliers Unite
In 1913, Philip Steptoe and Colonel Louis
Johnson, both graduates of the University of Virginia School of
Law, combined forces to form Steptoe & Johnson in Clarksburg,
West Virginia. The match verged on cliché: a pairing of the
introverted Steptoe with the extroverted Johnson, who had a way
with people and politics.
It was Johnson's inclination for politics that
helped pave the road for the future Steptoe & Johnson. Johnson
agreed to serve as Assistant Secretary of War in FDR's cabinet in
1937. When he was done, he stuck around the capital and established
the firm's Washington, DC presence in 1945. The Colonel didn't
waste time diving back into politics, though-he accepted a position
as Harry Truman's secretary of defense not long after setting up
shop in DC.
In 1980, the West Virginia and DC offices of
the firm split in two, creating a name confusion that persists even
today-Steptoe & Johnson LLP, which goes by Steptoe, is not to
be confused with the still-in-existence Steptoe & Johnson PLLC
in West Virginia. With offices throughout the U.S. as well as in
London, Beijing and Brussels, the former now has more than 500
attorneys-roughly 300 of whom are located in the DC office.
Steptoe & Johnson LLP is known for its
white-collar criminal defense practice, and partner Reid Weingarten
is a major player in this area. During his illustrious career, he
has represented several high-profile individuals including Enron
Corporation's chief accounting officer, Richard Causey; WorldCom
chief executive, Bernard Ebbers; Secretary of Commerce, Ronald H.
Brown; Secretary of Agriculture, Michael Espy; former Teamsters
president, Ron Carey; Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein; and film
director Roman Polanski.
Steptoe's international trade group is
similarly well-regarded. The group recently represented SKF Inc. in
a long-running anti-dumping suit and the government of China in its
first-ever case as a complainant before the World Trade
Rubbing Elbows
Steptoe, like many DC firms, has seen both
Beltway business people and politicos come through its doors. Among
the firm's alumni are BET's CEO Debra L. Lee, Montana Governor
Steve Bullock, and President Truman's Secretary of Defense Louis A.
Johnson. Boasting government experience, the firm's roster includes
attorneys who formerly served under the Departments of Commerce,
Defense, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development,
Interior, Justice, Labor, State, and Treasury; the Securities and
Exchange Commission; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission;
the FBI; the FTC; the IRS; the National Security Agency (NSA); the
US Senate Banking and Finance Committees; and the Office of the
Vice President. The firm is also home to former members of the
House and Senate to round things out.
Award-Winning Arbitrators
Steptoe took one of the top prizes at this year's
annual Global Arbitration Review Awards ceremony
winning in the category "International arbitration practice that
impressed in the past year." In particular, Steptoe was
selected for its work for the von Pezold family in a successful
claim before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment
Disputes (ICSID) against the government of Zimbabwe over a
"racially discriminatory" land reform program initiated by
President Robert Mugabe. The editors noted that the case was a
rare example of an ICSID tribunal granting restitution, with the
state ordered to return seized agricultural estates or pay US$196
million in damages. Steptoe partner Matthew Coleman led the
London-based team.
Punishing Piracy
On December 17, following a two-week jury trial, Steptoe
won a precedent-setting victory in the Eastern District of
Virginia on behalf of music publishing house BMG Rights Management
US LLC. BMG sued Internet service provider (ISP) Cox
Communications, claiming that Cox was liable for contributory and
vicarious copyright infringement by ignoring illegal downloading by
its subscribers. The jury awarded $25M in damages to BMG and found
Cox liable for willful contributory infringement-the first of its
kind against an ISP. The Steptoe team included Michael Allan,
John Caracappa, Will Pecau, and Roger Warin, who handled both
opening and closing arguments.
Beating the NRA
Steptoe successfully helped defend the city of Seattle and Mayor
Ed Murray in a lawsuit challenging a city ordinance to impose a $25
per firearm tax on retailers to address the costs of gun violence.
On December 22, King County Superior Court Judge Palmer
Robinson ruled that the city has the legal authority to enact the
tax, dashing an attempt by the NRA and several other groups to
overturn the law. The Palo Alto-based team was led by Bill
Abrams with partner Laurie Edelstein, of counsel Sarah Jackel,
and associate David Kwasniewski.
Fancying Up the Flagship
Steptoe & Johnson LLP made a long-term commitment to keep
the firm's flagship Washington, D.C. office in its current
location near Dupont Circle, in a building that will be completely
renovated. The firm signed a new lease with Boston Properties
to remain as the primary tenant of 1330 Connecticut Avenue, NW for
another 15 years. Under the terms of the deal, brokered by
CBRE, the building's interior will be taken down to the slab and
rebuilt in a more modern configuration with many amenities.
Construction on the 230,000 square foot project began in
December 2015, with completion anticipated by the end of
It's Easy Being Green
Steptoe announced a major expansion of its Financial
Services practice with the arrival of Micah Green and his
six-member team. Mr. Green, who joined the firm as a partner
in the Washington office, leads the firm's Financial Services
practice and co-chairs the Government Affairs & Public
Policy Group. Also joining Steptoe were partners
Carolyn Walsh and Matthew Kulkin, and as senior policy advisors
Michael Dunn, a former commissioner and acting chair of the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Richard Shilts, a
former director of the CFTC's Division of Market Oversight.
Together, the expanded Financial Services
practice brought together professionals in the
legislative, regulatory, compliance, enforcement and financial
litigation practices.
Achieving Acquittal
In a precedent-setting victory, Steptoe secured a complete
defense acquittal for David Rainey, the highest ranking BP
executive charged in the fatal 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, the
largest oil spill in US history. On June 5, following two
hours of deliberations, a jury in New Orleans, Louisiana found Mr.
Rainey not guilty of the remaining charge against him, making false
statements to FBI investigators. The acquittal followed a judge's
dismissal of an obstruction of Congress charge earlier in the
week. The Steptoe defense team was led by white-collar
criminal defense litigation partners Reid Weingarten and Brian

SaskTel CEO lets out a tidbit regarding the next-gen iPhone
This article contains unofficial information.
McGraw-Hill was punished by Apple for letting out some information ahead of time.We're at that stage in the game when things begin to heat up for Apple as the world anticipates concrete information surrounding the next generation iPhone. Apple is probably talking to some of their launch vendors that include a mix of partners from accessory makers all the way to the actual wireless carriers that plan on taking part of the festivities. Someone probably forgot to keep things under the radar about news of the fourth generation iPhone, but they may soon find themselves out of the loop if there is any indication of how things that played out in the past. The relatively unknown Canadian Saskatchewan-based wireless carrier, SaskTel, is being heard to offer the next incarnation of the iPhone starting July 1; according to the Regina Leader-Post. Robert Watson, president and CEO of SaskTel was quoted letting out a tidbit saying that, "The good news is that (Apple) is coming out with a new version of the iPhone in the June time-frame and they're going to put us on that. So we're quite excited about that." Even though SaskTel currently offers CDMA 3G connectivity, they are in the works of moving everything over to a GSM based network to undeniably offer the iPhone with their high-speed HSPA network up and running by July 1. With this slight slip of the tongue, it's not yet known if there will be any repercussions – but from what we've seen with the unveiling of the iPad,

Remember Verizon has the best talk coverage of any wireless network with rarely a dropped call unlike At&t and At&t may be making everyone look crazy because you can use the internet while on the phone call it's not going to make an ounce of difference once LTE Comes out because then the fight will be back to who has the fastest 4g an my guess will be sprint seeing as they have it already an have enough time to get better since they are the first with it. Also as far as CDMA iphone I wouldn't say never just like I wouldn't say never to an At&t Droid .. We will let Steve Jobs make his Announcement an we gon be coo.

Tags: college, golf, San Jose Country Club, summer fun
LG got her first set of golf clubs on the day she was born. Yes, you read that right. She comes from a long line of golfers and her Godfather is a golf pro. The clubs arrived when she was a mere 14 hours old and she has been playing ever since.
Today LG starts golf camp. This is a day she has been waiting for over the past 2 years. When we joined our golf club, LG spent the summer watching the kids at golf camp and she wanted to go. It was easy to explain that you had to be 6 to go to camp. The kids were so much bigger than her and that was an acceptable answer to her.
Last year she was really bummed to see some of her buddies heading to camp while she still wasn't allowed. My husband and I spent much of the summer taking her to the course on our own, perfecting her skills watching her wack the ball here and there. I like to joke that golf will be her way to a scholarship in college, but she is actually good.
When sign-ups came around this year, my husband asked if we wanted to send her to camp. We all did, but the registration form reminded us that she needed to be 6. Ack! Thankfully, our golf pro knows her and said that of course she could go. I haven't seen LG so thrilled in a long time.
For some reason this is BIG for me. Sure, LG has gone to preschool for the last 3 years without me. I drop her off every day and she rarely looks back as she runs into her classroom. This is different for some reason. I am sending her off with the big kids. I am afraid they will treat her like a baby for being so young. I am afraid that she will be much younger than most kids and won't have a buddy. Geez, I am a mess!
Truth be told, LG will be fine. She could make friends with a wall. She isn't scared of the big kids and while they may find her to be an annoying "baby" she never seems to notice. I love that she is a strong willed, confident girl. I am proud of myself and my husband for the girl we have raised. She is an amazing 5 year old.
Today, while LG walks off with the big kids I might shed a little tear, but then I will be off to find out information on college golf scholarships. What????

As rap groups go, they are certainly unique.
Chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres and comic actress Rebel Wilson have formed a new group - RebEllen - which they launched with a rap about watching cat videos online.
In a comic skit for Ellen's show the Bridesmaids actress, 28, and the Oscar host, 56, unveiled their rapping alter egos to the enthusiastic audience - the aptly named duo, Rebellen.
"By popular demand we formed a rap duo called Rebellen - get it? - and our first album is dropping today," said Ellen.
"It's called White Ladies Rapping. I thought I should have a release party right now."
To loud cheers Wilson stepped out onto the stage with a swagger, rocking a bedazzled black Adidas track suit with her pseudonym Reb encrypted upon the back.
The Super Fun Night star brought out a matching track suit with her cohort's name imprinted upon the back in the same fashionable gold as her own.
To finish off the look, DeGeneres smugly pulled out a large, multi-fingered ring with the word Deezy boldly etched into the ring.
"Let me put my ring back on, cause you got this for me, didn't you Deezy?" DeGeneres said, showing off her bold, bedazzled piece of jewellery.
While standing in front of a large tapestry of the two posing together in styles reminiscent of 1980's hip-hop, the blonde rapping duos listed off their favourite tracks from their yet-to-be released album.
"Baby Got Backfat," Wilson rattled off with a smile as the audience roared with laughter.
"One of my favourites is Booty Slap for Africa," The ABC star said as she proudly began to slap her own bum.
"There's that one, One In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush. That's our more romantic kind of ballad."
Degeneres then joined in the fun.
"The song that's really blowing up the charts though, when it gets to the charts it will blow up, is Watching Cats on the Internet," she said.
Wilson then added: "I mean, I heard it's already been downloaded like, five times. Do you guys want to hear it?"
Set to the deep beat of a gangster rap, Wilson started off the rap with lyrics that matched the toughness of the rhythm.
"Kitty cat, kitty cat, kitty cat, kitty cat," Rebel rapped into the microphone. "It's a Saturday night and I'm feeling alright ... tonight I'd rather be watching cats on the internet."
Wilson will be reprising her musically inclined character in the sequel to the 2012 comedic hit Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2.
The film is expected to be released on May 15, 2015 in the United States.
