I just gave my oldest baby basset a taste of adulthood. I asked him to decide what’s for dinner. I told him to decide what it is and I will make sure it happens. Notice I didn’t say I would cook it. This leaves it open to me getting all the supplies and then getting hubby to make it. My oldest baby basset was at a loss for ideas. I pushed him further and said he HAS to decide. He doesn’t have a choice. He became very frustrated by this question. HAHA. Adulthood – 1 star, would not recommend.
FINAL NOTICE: What would you do if you knew – for certain – that you had 10 days to live? (The FINAL Trilogy Book 1)
by Van Fleisher

FREE for a limited time
What Would You Do If You Knew – For Certain – That You Had 10 Days To Live? Some would get their legal affairs in order. Others would contact family, friends, lovers, and ex-lovers. Some might take a trip or make an exceptional donation. Still, others might clean the house and do the laundry. And some… might kill.
A brilliant young doctor and mathematician, Vijay Patel, has invented a new health/sports watch that monitors blood chemistry so accurately that it can actually predict when someone will die – within 10, 20, or 30 days. The intention of this “Final Notice,” as it is called, is to allow people to get their affairs in order and reach out to loved ones before it’s too late. But when those notified have easy access to a gun, the result is sometimes lethal for more than just the watch-owner.
These are the stories of several people who receive their Final Notice and their very different reactions… including a desire to get revenge with impunity. They range from an 89-year-old resident in a retirement home to a U.S. Senator… from a benevolent widow to a crass tycoon to a noted climate change scientist. But in this fresh, fast-paced, political/medical thriller, page-turner, their stories are all set against the all-too-recognizable backdrop of a guns-gone-wild America and the relentless push by the NRA and their surrogate politicians to make guns even easier to acquire.
Their stories are also connected by the involvement of several likable protagonists. These include the inventor of the watch… the FBI agent charged with stopping the killings… and a recently retired, middle-class couple, Vince and Trudi Fuller, along with their brave immigrant friends and a very endearing corgi, Miles.
Vince and Trudi live happily in their “California bubble” until Vince is knocked down by a young punk in a parking lot. His sense of shame and rage, resulting from feelings of age-related vulnerability, triggers an initial interest in guns. Trudi resists, but later, an unprovoked attack on Miles and Vince – and a growing friendship with two courageous Syrian refugees – changes her mind, with very unexpected consequences.
There is plenty of dark humor and political satire in FINAL NOTICE, as well as touching scenes and outright suspense. So expect to laugh out loud, dry some tears, and bite your nails (not necessarily in that order). It is, despite the somewhat “sci-fi” premise of the watch, a very realistic reflection of American society and the many problems we face today.

A Light in the Window (Margarete’s Journey Book 1)
by Marion Kummerow
(5,707 Reviews)
Genre: Literary Fiction | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Margarete stumbles out of the bombed-out house, the dust settling around her like snow. Mistaking her for the dead officer’s daughter, a guard rushes over to gently ask her if she is all right and whether there’s anything he can do to help her. She glances down at where the hated yellow star had once been, and with barely a pause, she replies “Yes”.
Berlin, 1941: Margarete Rosenbaum is working as a housemaid for a senior Nazi officer when his house is bombed, leaving her the only survivor. But when she’s mistaken for his daughter in the aftermath of the blast, Margarete knows she can make a bid for freedom…
Issued with temporary papers — and with the freedom of not being seen as Jewish — a few hours are all she needs to escape to relative safety. That is, until her former employer’s son, SS officer Wilhelm Huber, tracks her down.
But strangely he doesn’t reveal her true identity right away. Instead he insists she comes and lives with him in Paris, and seems determined to keep her hidden. His only condition: she must continue to pretend to be his sister. Because whoever would suspect a Nazi girl of secretly being a Jew?
His plan seems impossible, and Margarete is terrified they might be found out, not to mention worried about what Wilhelm might want in return. But as the Nazis start rounding up Jews in Paris and the Résistance steps up its activities, putting everyone who opposes the regime in peril, she realizes staying hidden in plain sight may be her only chance of survival…
Can Margarete trust a Nazi officer with the only things she has left though… her safety, her life, even her heart?
A totally heartbreaking and unputdownable story about how far someone would go to save one life, that fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See will adore.

by Hourly History
(221 Reviews)
Genre: History | Foreign Languages
FREE for a limited time
D-Day, the 6th of June, is one of the most significant dates in the calendar. The twentieth century’s fate hung in the balance, as Nazi Germany had marched across Europe, bringing the blitzkrieg, the Holocaust, and the mad dreams of Adolf Hitler across the bloodied landscape of Europe. France had fallen, and until the Americans joined the battle in December 1941, the balance of power was securely in the hands of the Third Reich. But even as the Allied forces joined together under the leadership of Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany continued to win battles. In order for the Nazis to be stopped, the Allies had to invade occupied Europe. And invade they did, launching the most massive amphibious landing the world had ever seen.
The pantheon of heroes of the Normandy invasion includes soldiers who are unknown except for the crosses that bear their names in the cemeteries where they were buried, but all, those who died and those who survived, played their part in the liberation of Europe.
Discover a plethora of topics such as
• Countdown to D-Day
• Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower
• The Invasion Planning is Underway
• A Day in June
• The German Response
• The Invasion
