A Priests Tale by Lindsay Llewellyn

I Loved this book,  a great read.

When does the end cease to justify the means?
Kayt'an Sahn has been sent to stop a bloody conflict - but at what cost?

*****************************

While a princess waits for her handsome prince, a priest sets out on a journey she didn't choose, in company she'd rather avoid, to a country where priests of her religion are killed on sight.

If she's going to survive in this strange new world, she's going to have to fight for her principles and face her prejudices - but first she needs to discover which is which.

In the meantime she's determined to make her feelings known, volubly.

New Year 2013

After an extremely busy day in Calendar Club we went to the Club at Manor Park, and had an enjoyable evening seeing in the new year.

On New Years Day - Shock Horror, we both had the day off, it was lovely and sunny and we drove to Kelling and had a lovely walk.

Christmas 2012

Sunday before Christmas - Went to Debbie and Jons
On Christmas Eve - Kinga and Kevin came round for a short while.
Christmas Day - Went to Church then Jen and Andy's
Boxing Day - Went to Mums while Bob Worked, we went for a nice walk along Snettisham Beach, then we went to Steven's when Bob got home for tea.

The problem with Calendar Club is we have little Christmas, as we only have Christmas Day off which i find disappointing.

The Scavenger's Daughter: A Tyler West Mystery by Mike McIntyre

Thoroughly enjoyable book, quite different and unique

Tyler West, suspended Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter from the San Diego Sun, is desperate for a scoop that will save his career. Defying a spiteful publisher and a vindictive homicide detective, he investigates the baffling deaths of several of San Diego's powerful, rich and famous. Police call the murders unrelated, but Ty uncovers a common link: torture devices last used during the Dark Ages, including the Iron Maiden, the Pear of Anguish, and the most sinister of all—the Scavenger's Daughter.

Ty is plunged into a mysterious world of medieval torture scholars, antiquities collectors, museum curators, and sadomasochists. Aided by photojournalist Melina "Mel" Koric, a former Bosnian War refugee, Ty must break the brilliantly conceived series of slayings that has cast a dark shadow over a city better known for its sun, sand and surf. The elusive killer goes by the name Friar Tom, in tribute to his hero, Tomás de Torquemada, the first Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition. As Ty scrambles to unmask the monstrous zealot, he pursues his lost love, Jordan Sinclair, an assistant district attorney and single mom. With the city caught in an escalating nightmare of medieval mayhem, Ty is drawn into a lethal game of cat and mouse that could cost him everything.

Lightning-paced, intricately plotted and wildly suspenseful, The Scavenger's Daughter grabs the reader early and doesn't let go until its heart-pounding climax.

Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

This is one of the best Witch Mountain Films i have seen, thoroughly enjoyable.

A Las Vegas cabbie enlists the help of a UFO expert to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organization that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans.

Pretty Witches all in a Row by Lisa Olsen

This was a different and interesting book, thoroughly enjoyable.

Pretty Witches All in a Row delivers a compelling crime procedural that kept me guessing the whole way through. Throw in a supernatural twist with magic and a coven of witches, and we're in for quite a ride. Author Lisa Olsen balances the thrills and chills of paranormal mystery with a generous helping of humor, quick banter and well developed characters. Sergeant Nick Gibson is our sympathetic hero; his playful wit and down to earth relationship with his teenage daughter made me root for him from the first chapter. Annaliese, the pretty witch helping with the investigation, is an enigma; you want to trust her, but there are enough questions that you resist letting your guard down, and you end up hoping Nick isn't a fool for placing his faith in her. I hope we'll see this cast of characters again; it'd be a crime not to see where they go next.

My Birthday
