It fits perfect if you take your dimensions and the material is very good quality! Perfect for a lady wanting to fit into a body-con (form fitting) dress!

Chicken Little was a dumb cluck, even for a chicken and he could get very excited over nothing.  One day an "acorn fell from the sky and hit him on the head  . . .  BONK!  EEP!"  His eyes bugged out and he plopped right over onto the ground.  When he came to his senses, he was all riled up thinking that the sky was falling down.  "The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!  I must run for my life!  And that he did.  He grabbed his umbrella to cover his head and ran off willy nilly.

Crash, boom, bang!  He ran right into Henny Penny who didn't have the sense of a duck.  Chicken Little started yelling again and told her the sky was falling.  Next thing you know they were both on the run.  "The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!"  Lucky Ducky, who wasn't really lucky was their next victim.  "BONK!  ACK!"  The crowd was getting bigger and the more they ran the more critters they encountered.  Loosey Goosey and Turkey Lurky soon joined the crowd as they all ran for their lives.  But wait a minute.  Fox wanted to know why all the "little birdies" were "going at such a frantic pace."  Hmmmmm.  The fox had a nice place for them to rest and he opened his mouth to let them in.  Was that going to be the end of  the silly little birdies?

This is an adorable take on the old Chicken Little story.  The colorful, wide-eyed characters are very appealing and add a lot to this tale of a hysterical race to escape the falling sky.  If you are a grandparent who might be a bit hesitant about purchasing an old classic with a new twist, don't worry  . . .  your little one will love it (and you will too)!

I got some bad news today, and when that happens my escape has always been between the covers of a good book. Browsing Amazon I came across The Wicked Witch of the West: Munchkin Killer. The cover, the caption, the commentsthey all caught my eye, promising hilarious content. I couldn't resist. So glad I didnt. The author puts a wickedly funny, zany spin on an old favorite of mine. Its dark, its edgy, its irreverent. I loved it! Author Darrin Mason you crack me up. Thanks for lifting my spirits today!

While participating in a mock wedding, Dana utters the words she could not say six years earlier when she left her fianc? Nick at the altar. When she is in dire straights and has to go to her estranged mother Babs for a loan (unbeknownst to her, her mom is broke), she runs into Nick at her mom's apartment. Nick and Babs have remained friends - he does favors for her like stealing jewels or rare birds from owners who want to cash in on insurance.

When he attempts to "steal" a bird from Vivian, he is too late - someone has beaten him to it. Then Vivian discovers that her $25 million inheritance actually goes to the rare flightless parrot indigenous to New Zealand called a Kakapo. Vivian and her husband get desperate and kidnap Babs to insure that Nick will find the bird. He and Dana join forces, while both wrestle with their emerging feelings for each other.

Like a 1940's screwball comedy - zaniness abounds, as everyone wants a piece of that "smelly green chicken" named Mr. Saunders. Chock-filled with great one liners, hysterical situations, and well drawn secondary characters like the inept kidnappers, Finn the reformed bird thief (who gets his own story in the upcoming "Comeback Kiss"), and feisty mom Babs, this is a story that is sure to delight. Rich is quickly become a must read author for me.

Vomit, Virgins and Villains! Does it get any better?
Mistaken for a thief known as the "magical Megs", Princess Tatiana is held prisoner by the Pirate Lord Cairn McTavish. He's convinced she is this infamous thief and also lover to his rival and is intent on breaking her to his will and using her as a pawn to seek his revenge. Though we know Tatiana is a Princess and Cairn was once a pirate, we just aren't sure where Tatiana is from or when Cairn was ever a pirate. It's ok though because this story is so FUN! From the first chapter I was game for the wonderful ride Lois Greiman takes us on in THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE. This light book was a wonderful read that teases the reader by knocking out our hero just before they consummate their relationship. It was both amusing and entertaining. This book is a gem if you are looking for fun and silliness. You will find no heavy historical content however, so don't choose this story if that is what you are looking for. This one is PURE enjoyment from start to finish and a good break from more heavy storylines you may be reading.

Tongue-In-Cheek Thrills Every Page!

When Officer Autumn Winn and her partner, Sergeant Carter enters a local chimpanzee-owned tailor shop after stopping for donuts near by, things go suddenly awry. While they're checking IDs, baboons drop through the skylight and a gun battle ensues. The young wife of the tailor is abducted, and Sergeant Carter killed. Autumn doesnt trust the customer, Mack Davis, but wants to help Brian, the chimpanzee tailor find his wife. Mack thinks it was a White Knight PoliSec operation in the first place, and since Officer Winn is a White Knight, well maybe they were trying to get rid of her and Carter. Winn sends a signal that she and her companions are crossing to another building, and then a missile destroys the building they were heading for, so now they are on the run.

This was a fun and unique adventure with all the packaging of a thriller aimed at YA and adult readers, but with a bit of tongue-in-cheek to keep the story from being too serious. It loosely shows our prejudice against those different from ourselves. Since animals suddenly became intelligent, the world has experienced a new flood of immigration  by sentient animals. In fact, the boss of the underworld is a genius cat in need of his fur brushed. The story flows easily, and the action is fierce. Readers of SF, mystery, or thrillers, will enjoy this yarn, and no matter what your age, it will leave you with a smile. Highly recommended.

This book was so HAWT it nearly melted my panties off! LOL If you like hunky fire fighters and kick-ass confident heroines, then this story is for you. Ella, the curvy bakery owner, is one of my favorite characters. In this installment, she learns the outcome of her bakery fire. No spoilers, but let's just say that a sexy fire fighter makes sure all is right...in more ways than one. There's also a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. This book, like all the books in this series, is a well-written and fun escape from the cares of the world. These books are addicting. The author can't write them fast enough for me!

Creative, clever, and oh-so chuckle-worthy, The Charlatan's Boy is a gift I almost didn't recognize because it came wrapped in a genre I don't usually read and one that's actually rather difficult to define. It's a-bit-of-fantasy meets Mark Twain's Huck Finn, with enough of the unexpected to turn everything on its head!

Grady and Floyd make a rather ingenious pair of hucksters, and this book is packed full of some interesting schemes for winning a crowd and making some good pocket-change in the unusual world of Corenwald. It's fun going back to the beginning to consult the map and follow their journeys across Corenwald. And those journeys are full of the wackiest and most entertaining adventures!

Many of the characters are quirky in a rather lovable way--like Short Fronie, the drovers, and Barbary. What an array of personalities! And the narrator, Grady, won me over with his big, mixed-up heart and his witty observations. Just like Huckleberry Finn, he tells it like it is from the way he sees it, and it's a pleasure to watch him discover just who in this crazy world he is.

With a great narrator, an enjoyable story, and a surprising depth, I recommend The Charlatan's Boy for all those who want an adventure with some laughs and smiles along the way!

*With thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion.*

A caper worthy of Donald Westlake, but starring a woman much more savvy than Dortmunder. What more need be said?

Dangerously funny! Be warned, there are sneaky spit-laugh moments throughout. Honestly, I have not laughed out loud, loudly, in the middle of the night so often since I was in third grade and entranced by Freddy the Pig.

The porkers here are Ginas male relatives and their business acquaintances, as befits a woman whose extended family is THE local crime family in their part of Canada. After a courier from another famly gets killed on their turf, they're desperate to avoid a gang war and Ginas the least likely to be searched at the border so.

Oh, did I mention the jewels? Fabulous! And the shoes? To die for, darlings! And the MAN. The kind wed all like to have at our side (or back, or front) when bullets are flying and bodies are bouncing. Theres a bit of mattress-bouncing too, but the heated action takes place off-page, with only some tasty flirtation around it.

Also, its short, a Rapid Read that you can get through in half an hour over your coffee. With due respect for potential choking due to sudden spurts of laughter.

This is an insanely zany caper that unrolls speedily into your eyes and brain with great visual images crafted from fewer words than I would have ever imagined possible. A comic tour-de-force and not to be missed! A heartfelt five stars from me.

I loved this novel!

It was almost over the top in every way: the seduction scenes were so hot that engineers could use the instant vapourization to power cities; the painful growth of the characters' self-awareness and ability to love themselves made me cry five-gallon pails; the action made my feet feel like a ballerina's; Callie and her female counterparts were strong as carbon-fiber beams; and the suspense made me almost scream, "ENOUGH, ALREADY, SARAH, HE FINALLY TELLS HER HE LOVES HER, RIGHT NOW!!!" But noooo, she drags us along for the bumpy ride a little longer!

I typically read Jane Austen Fan Fiction, and this would have been a steamy non-canon version with very little changes. It was historically challenged, but I assumed that was the point: Regency romances are fiction. Every girl picked last for basketball wants to be adored and seduced by a handsome, passionate, rakish Duke, and fall in love in the process. Ms. MacLean provides the swirls in the whip, on the way to your mocha latte! Yum!

I am near panic attack anticipating Ms. MacLean's next novel!

Fabulous early story - the creatures were SCARY! and the plot was fully realized.  Lovely mix of HEA and angst!

Where, indeed, is Kiki Sax? She seems to disappear often, and when she shows up, it is in the most unlikely places. Helen Dunn has captured the antics and foibles of a group of high spirited women in a tightly written, fast paced novella that is humorous, bizarre, whimsical and good, clean fun. (Be forewarned, there are a few steamy love scenes!) There are many surprises in this little book, but it all turns out well in the end (at least we readers are led to believe it does, but who knows?)
Leave no stone unturned! Search for her everywhere, and soon you may also be asking the same question: where is Kiki Sax?

I'll say it again. There is an old saying in the military: if you grab them by the b@!!5,the rest of them will follow wherever you care to lead them (paraphrasing).  Okay Jack you can let go now. What a sweet, pulse-pounding read this was. Spare, yet insanely gripping. Filled with unlikely heroes, or should I say heroines; and villains, a parcel of rogues for sure. Talk about a rush!

Chopping up classics and smashing them into little pieces is a great way to get below-average kids to read! Mickey is a tough, smart little hood, from the wrong part of town. His hulking, moronic sidekick Hulk is always following him around, begging to tend the rabbits . . . I mean, to fit in with the gang. Then tough Mickey meets sexy Birgette, who has a green light that glows all night long at the end of her . . . uh, BMW. Birgette wants Mickey to help her beat up the bullies, so suddnely they all turn into expert car thieves and go out beating and tolchocking, just like Alex and his droogs! But two wrongs don't make a right, and suddenly for no real reason our young hoodlum/hero/gang ends up running down endless corridors, searching for a final confrontation that . . . uh, never quite materializes.

"Tell me again about the rabbits, droogy!"

"Sorry, old sport, but when Daisy told me to beat up the bullies I just couldn't help myself!"

What an amazing  addition to magic and mayhem!  What a great read it made me laugh til I cried and took me by surprise a time or two.  I love the feeling of being sucked into this story as if Im one of the residents of assjacket.  I couldn't put it down!
