Simply Grilling

Simply Grilling by Jennifer Chandler is a nice recipe book that should be added to any collection. She even helps those who may not have a grill by having many of her recipes available for indoor cooking with a grill pan. From appetizers to desserts she covers all the bases. There are different sections for the meats and she even suggests what sides go along with the main course. There is a full color picture of each recipe as well.

The book starts out with a grilling 101 section to help those who don’t know much about grilling but to also help those who think they may know about grilling. Some of the recipes are made inside and some of them have you inside and outside at the same time, but they compliment the grill recipes very nicely.

This is a book I will keep on hand and refer to each and every time I am interested in grilling. No matter the season with this little book you can grill anytime!

Eyes of Justice


Wow! If I had one word to say about Lis Wiehl’s new book Eyes of Justice, that would be it. Eyes of Justice, another book about the triple threat club is amazing and will keep your attention from beginning to end. I could not put it down and read the book in a day and a half.

As the other novels in the series we follow the lives of three ladies. Nicole, the FBI agent, Allison, the federal prosecutor, and Cassidy, a crime reporter for the local station are all back in this new novel, but something happens and one of them will not make it to the end. I say that because if you read the book description you will find that out as well. Who is it? How does it happen? Will they be able to find the killer? Can they even work on the case?

Follow along as they weave their way into finding out who the killer really is and what it will take to bring them down. Parts of the novel became a tiny bit predictable to me; however it is well worth the time and energy it takes to read this book. I highly recommend this book as well as any of the books in the triple threat series.

The Founders' Key

The Founders’ Key by Larry P Arnn is not only a quick read but also is one I would recommend to anyone who wants to know more about the connection between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

I was surprised to see that the book included the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and some of James Madison’s Federalist Papers for reference. I haven’t read these documents since college and it was nice to read back through them again and was a great help as I read through the book.

I definitely plan on reading this book again and I am sure I will pull more out of it then I did this time. The book centers on the connection between the Declaration and Constitution and how closely they are to each other. Mr. Arnn makes reference to how many in politics today try and lessen that connection.

Overall this book is a nice and easy read and I would recommend it for anyone who has an interest in the Founding Fathers or those who have no idea who they are. We all need to take some time and learn from our past so that we can grow in the future as they would have wanted us too.
