| Whirlwind Week --- Lots to Read! |
For any of you who were hiding with a pillow over your head and missed the announcement about HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (otherwise known as Book 5), click on the link below.
Quick observation --- we have noticed that many of you have been changing your Internet providers in the past month. If you do, please be sure to "take us along" by signing up for the newsletter in your new name!
What a busy week this has been. Today as we were doing production, we just kept adding and adding features. Gena, Wiley and I were juggling what was where all day. As a result, we have some really late-breaking features including a sneak peek at an excerpt from John Grisham's new book -- THE KING OF TORTS.
Given our full lineup, I will stop writing here and tell you to all "read on."

| This Week's Book Reviews |
|
SAMARITAN by Richard Price (Fiction)
Reviewed by Bob Rhubart
Detective Nerese Ammons is investigating the brutal beating of ex-high school teacher Ray Mitchell, but what makes this case truly bizarre is that Ray knows who did it, yet he is not revealing the culprit and refuses to press charges.
ICE CREAM by Helen Dunmore (Short Stories)
Reviewed by Kathy Weissman
In this beautiful collection of 18 short stories, British writer Helen Dunmore explores topics such as friendship, regret, mysterious passions and the intense pleasure of ice cream --- all with characters that we come to know and care about.
MENDOCINO AND OTHER STORIES by Ann Packer (Fiction Paperback)
Reviewed by Ava Dianne Day
Ann Packer, author of the national bestseller THE DIVE FROM CLAUSEN'S PIER, offers ten short stories about men and women --- husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends and lovers --- whose lives have taken quite unexpected and not so desirable turns.
THE FORGETTING: Alzheimer's: Portrait of an Epidemic by David Shenk (Health)
Reviewed by Colleen Quinn
Journalist David Shenk has written an important and highly engrossing book that discusses how Alzheimer's disease develops, its effects on patients and their families, historic figures who are now believed to have suffered from the disease and the current race to find a cure.
THE BLESSING STONE by Barbara Wood (Fiction)
Reviewed by Kathy Weissman
Internationally bestselling author Barbara Wood has created a fictional yet remarkably believable world, in which the lives of seven individuals are affected in different ways by one magical blue stone.
THE GUARDS by Ken Bruen (Mystery)
Reviewed by Kate Ayers
Guaranteed to be one of the best crime fiction stories of the year, this absorbing novel features Irish private investigator Jack Taylor who, after getting fired from the police force, investigates the "suicide" of a teenaged girl --- though he has little idea of the dangers that lie ahead.
ONCE TWO HEROES by Calvin Baker (Fiction)
Reviewed by Marie Hashima Lofton
African American soldier Mather Rose and white soldier Lewis Hampton each prove themselves to be valiant warriors on the battlefields during World War II --- but no battle can prepare them for what they are about to encounter upon their return to America.
DARKNESS IN HIM by Andrew Lyons (Thriller)
Reviewed by Ava Dianne Day
Jake Conason is sitting on top of the world the night he goes to a party at his fraternity house --- he has excellent grades, a beautiful girlfriend and an almost certain acceptance to his dream law school --- but little does he know that the moment he walks into that party is the last time his life will be that easy for a long time.
FAT OLLIE'S BOOK by Ed McBain (Mystery)
Reviewed by Joe Hartlaub
Detective Oliver Wendell Weeks teams up with two detectives from the 87th Precinct to investigate the murder of a city councilman, but Fat Ollie spends just as much time methodically tracking down the person who stole the only manuscript of his first mystery novel.
