Agatha of Little Neon by Claire Luchette was a terrible book! It dragged along going nowhere. Had one funny part when the sisters' car broke down but that was it. It was all just about one nun's personal journey that led her to leave the sisterhood. I thought this was one of the worst, most boring books I ever read. I only finished because I thought something would happen and it would get better, but it never did. The only good thing about it is that the chapters are very short so you can read just a little at a time because a good stopping point is never far away. (Karen's review, 1 star)

"Hemlock Island" by Kelley Armstrong
In Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong, Laney gets an island as part of a divorce settlement which she rents out to make money. She gets a call that something strange is going on at the island and she better come down to look. Soon she discovers that she has a big problem! This book started off okay, but went sideways near the end. I never cared about the characters at all and I thought the ending was very strange. (Gerard's review, 3.5 stars)

"Blood Sworn" by Scott Reintgen (Book 2)
Blood Sworn by Scott Reintgen is the follow-up book to Ashlords. The race is over and now the war has begun. The three main characters are back: Pippa, Adrian and Imelda must now work together for the better good of the country. Can they and will they save their country? This book was better than the first with fast action and lots of twists and turns. (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"Ashlords" by Scott Reintgen (Book 1 in series)
Ashlords by Scott Reintgen is teen fantasy about horse racing. It is time for the race with 11 horses and 11 riders. Three riders (Imelda, Pippa and Adrian) have a lot at stake. You will have to read the book to find out what that is. This book gets off to a slow start, but once the race begins, it more than makes up for it! It is easy to follow. I really enjoyed the three main characters and liked it because it has lots of action. Now it is on to Book 2. (Gerard's review, 4.5 stars)

"Bowlers Guide" - Great Instructional Booklet
I found my old Bowlers Guide booklet for years ago and read it again to refresh my memory. It helped me bowl more confidently and consistently, improving my scores from two weeks ago. It gives basic fundamentals, explains how to shoot spares using the 3-6-9 system, tips for lefthanders, seniors and children with lots of pictures. It really covers everything from deliveries to scoring and equipment. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to bowl or improve their game. I remember giving these to the last place team in our church league years ago. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
