~The Great Grammar Book~

The Great Grammar Book, an unusually entertaining grammar
text, enables readers to not only master their grammar problems, but also to write clearer, more
concise, and more readable sentences. The well organized book uses step-by-step instructions
along with crystal-clear examples to ensure that readers fully understand each topic.
The book uses fun facts, amazing trivia, and odd news events to make learning grammar fun.
Over 2,000 practice sentences-more than any other text-make it possible for readers to master
even long-standing grammar problems.


Alright!!!!!
Oops! All right.......I have forgotten quite a bit of what they taught me in school.
Although I have been writing the word ALRIGHT wrong my whole flipping life and didn't even know it!!! I learn that now after almost 35 years that I should be writing it...
All Right

So enough with what a dumb blonde am I and onward with this book.....
For a book where you actually learn something, it was actually rather fun!!!

Even my son who HATES books of all kinds, found himself using this book for help on his English homework. 
It is currently being held hostage in the wilds of his room until the end of the school year and you know, I actually don't mind one bit (LOL)


I only wished I had a book like this when I was going through my English class. I rather learn using fun facts and trivia than a teacher that drones on.


This book is wonderful to have on hand not only for those of us who have kids in school, but as well as anyone who writes and needs a little refresher on grammar.

~True Highland Spirit~

A steamy adventure set amidst the chaos of 14th century Scotland, where clans jockeyed for political prominence, and the French and English vied against each other in a never ending threat to Scottish autonomy.  A feisty laird’s daughter, Morrigan McNab,holds the secret to the stolen relic sought by French knight Sir Dragonet. Attraction sparks between the unlikely pair as each loses their heart as they pursue the same prize.


Did you really think I could go that long without a Highlander?
(Me either!!!)

What can I say? It was sweet to read a historical that the woman wasn't some romantic ditz for a change. Now don't get me wrong I do like my ditzes, but in this book the woman, Morrigan was a sword welding bad a$$. I LOVED IT!  


Action packed....never a dull moment...from robbing, loving, to attempted murder to being left for dead....heck I really haven't got one clue what this book didn't have in it!


Just thinking what a person would go through for family OMG!!!


Oh...and the Templar's treasure...did I forget to mention that??? Ahhhh yes....we all know how they keep their secrets, but really one that freakin big!!!
I'm so glad I can still like Sir Dragonet!
(That's the only clue you all get....LOL)




Amanda Forester does a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life and adding the reader to the story. I totally look forward to her next book.....Lets hope it comes VERY SOON!!!!
