Fun Fiction From Jasmin, & Kinky

picalttag

'Kill Two Birds & Get Stoned' by Kinky Friedman. Interesting how this celebrated writer mixes the hilarious, bizarre, inane, contemplative, and even the beautiful in one masterly contemporary novel. Two very odd people meet our frustrated 1st person writer- narrator, sending him on three rollicking, anarchic adventures in the Village. The trio battle a mental hospital, a big time real estate developer, and the world's #1 Coffee Chain. Along the way, some terrific dialogue, discussions of the art of the novel, the real vs the fantastic, and a general critique of modern urban society shine through. A fine page turner written by a terrific pen man, with more than enough laughs for all. My only complaint: a bit too harsh on the three corporate adversaries and our three Robin-Hood style protagonists may be interesting. but they are definitely not all that nice! A very tragic ending, but the last paragraph is a winner. maybe even a beautiful finale.
'Payback' by Jasmine Cresswell. After being a media sensation (for two books - SUSPECT and MISSING), the late wealthy bigamist Ron Raven is no longer headlines news and his two families are finally moving on past his transgressions. This is an exciting ending to the Ravens and Fairfax trilogy although the police come across as more incompetent than the Keystone cops. The story line is fast-paced as the lead couple investigates what happened to Ron but their attraction reigniting in a second chance subplot seems unnecessary as the hunt for Raven, if he lives, is more than poetic justice to sustain the PAYBACK.

Extremely Liberal..Not Religious..Morally Centered..?

picalttag

'The Steep Approach to Garbadale' by Iain Banks. If you enjoy stories with characters that are gritty, earthy, extremely liberal and not religious or morally centered, you may like this book. This book has not been reviewed too kindly, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. Interlaced with the business stuff is the family stuff, notably Alban's obsession with his cousin Sophie. Yes, it is a little like a soap, but I found it quite fascinating. The family story is told through narrative that jumps backwards and forwards in time. The Time-Jumping can be a little annoying at times with other books I have read but this one did not seem to bother me. I didn't find it obtrusive or confusing. Well done Mr. Banks!
'Once Bitten, Twice Shy' by Jennifer Rardin. I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this novel. Rardin ads a perfect blend of humor and humility to an otherwise strong female lead character. I can't believe that this is her debut novel. With a seemingly over-abundance of vampire novels, I found this as a fun, light-hearted, supernatural, spy novel.

Love and Country!

picalttag

Love and Country. I had great pleasure in reading these two eBook titles. I am a sucker for a good Love Story and if you are to then you will absolutely love Dear John, by Nicholas Sparks. I really enjoyed the parallel with current events. Let me say that Dick Francis is one of my favorite Authors. I probably have read every book he has written and this one is right up there on my favorites list. I am an equestrian so I have an interest in Britain's racing world. Dick Francis brings to life an interesting tale of life on the racing field with Murder and Mystery. Again... Great read. Be sure to check below for your special discount code.

Dead Heat eBook edition by Francis, Dick
After a six-year absence from the bestseller lists, Dick Francis roared out of the gate with 2006's Under Orders, demonstrating once again every ounce of his famed narrative drive, brilliant plotting, and simmering suspense. Hard on the heels of that triumph comes Dead Heat, set against the backdrop of Britain's famed Two Thousand Guineas Stakes. Max Moreton is a rising culinary star and his Newmarket restaurant, The Hay Net, has brought him great acclaim and a widening circle of admirers. But when nearly all the guests who enjoyed one of his meals at a private catered affair fall victim to severe food poisoning, his kitchen is shuttered and his reputation takes a hit. Scrambling to meet his next obligation, an exclusive luncheon for forty in the glass-fronted private boxes at the Two Thousand Guineas, Max must overcome the previous evening's disaster and provide the new American sponsors of the year's first classic race with a day to remember. Then a bomb blast rips through the private boxes, killing some of Max's trusted staff as well as many of the guests. As survivors are rushed to the hospital, Max is left to survey the ruins of the grandstand-and of his career. Two close calls are too close for comfort, and Max vows to protect his name-and himself-before it's too late.
