Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection is just spectacular.  This book has vivid images and the text is fascinating, Taylor gives you, in crystal clear detail, the history of each piece and how she came to possess it.  The stories dealing with Richard Burton are wonderful, but my favorite was the story behind the Prince of Wales broach she bought at auction from the Duchess of Windsor collection, it is hilarious how she outbid everyone and her children's reaction, this Hollywood Legend is one of kind and Lord does she have an eye for gorgeous jewlery.  Looking through her extensive collection, you can't help but be impressed with her taste, she really knows what is beautiful, she did not desire just any expensive stone, she wanted the most beautiful, her jewels, as large as some are, never seem gaudy, the are just simply exquisite.  Really a wonderful book, on a singular woman and her gorgeous jewlery collection.  In all due respect to Richard Burton, Liz's greatest affair was with these beautiful jewels...an exquisitely beautiful woman and her equally exquisite collection.

Simon and Elizabeth, literally a match made in heaven, a couple out of time literally. The adventures in the past, and their unfailing  love for one another, are what legends are made of.

Another beautiful love story by Liz.  May and Kurt, who are in their thirties and forties, have finally found their only true love. The lives they live are totally different but the love they have for each other overcomes all.  You will love them also.  It's hard to put down till the end, and then you wish for more.

Having met Miss Love and enjoying per performing is a special gift and a treasure. Her voice remains great as ever! This production by Steve Van Zandt is the best. This CD is long overdue and a long time coming, but it has truly been worth the wait. Darlene Love is one of the best vocalists and entertainers of this or any point in history. She is still as pretty as ever and sings even better than she did forty years ago. Miss Love is a priceless American entertainment asset. SHE IS THE BEST!!!

This Love is the 45th book in the Forever and Ever Series.

I usually like to give a little report on all the characters in the book, but an event so huge has over-shadowed everything... Arsen and Silke are married!!! Yup. Happy dance, unicorns & glitter, praise the Lord because Arsen finally got Silke back and this time, it's FOREVER!!! So happy!

You know how you can just love an album, then somehoe, for some reason, it get buried under others and you sort of forget about it? Well I did this to JLS. I rediscovered it and honestly, I think I have been listening to it practically non stop,now for two months. It's amazing how I leap in the air and sway, laugh in one song, then the next, especially Dear Father renders me nearly in tears in reflection of my life and those I have love, and sometimes those lost. Of course soaring and finding your own way with courage is the theme. Neil Diamond's voice with his unique way of pleading and vulnerability gets right into the deepest recesses of your brain and heart. This is a truly magical album. The musicianship is incredible. Oh, those strings! That piano, the drums, just every single instrument is flawless. Please, I can't  encourage you enough to buy this music!

I have been listening to this LP (now CD) for over 20 years, and I never get tried of it. The "Fallin in Love" LP is the LP Hamilton Joe Frank & Dennison will be remembered for. EVERY cut is outstanding. Guys, if you want to be "in like Flint" with your girl, play this CD for her on Valentine's Day. You can't miss with it. God bless Dan Hamilton (who wrote most of songs) for coming up with a gem of an album. I head the group perform songs from this LP on the Midnight Special back in the 1970's and have not forgotten it. Anyone who wants to hear heartfelt,  great beautiful music check this CD out, you will NOT be disappointed. It is truly the BEST of Hamilton Joe Frank & Dennison.

This is The Velvet Goldmine story for  real. Its no wonder Bowie didn't want anything to do with that movie. This is some of the best glam music I have ever heard and it still sounds good decades later! Thank you Morrisey! The song I Love a Good Fight is the best and I have been listening to it over and over again. The pictures are fantastic and great liner notes. I heard that some of the best was left out, many people who know about music have told me about ooh la la, his best song . Lets hope they realese everything soon.

Linda Eder's vocal brilliance shines in this CD.  She sings the classic pop songs like no other female artist alive today.  Her song "Even Now" is a full force anthem.  The lively salsa number "Havana" will transport you right into Cuba's 50's hey-day.  "Vienna" is a rich, gorgeous tribute to Linda's homeland.  This gifted vocalist sweeps you into a wonderfully orchestrated trip on every cut on this CD.  Don't miss this one for your collection.

As I write this, I'm puzzled so see that there are only three other reviews for this album posted on Amazon's page. For a singer-songwriter as acclaimed and outstanding as Neil Diamond that's very surprising. Granted, his fans have heard many of these songs before, but I think that this is still a CD worth owning regardless. As the title of this album says, these songs were recorded on the Bang label from 1966 to 1968, and for this CD reissue they have remastered in "the original mono in which there were intended to be heard." That sound, and these songs, are first-rate.

As the liner notes by Steve Baltin say, "In these remastered recordings ... you can hear the earliest glimpses of the talent, but just as importantly, the dedication and craftsmanship that would make Diamond the superstar he would go on to become." Indeed, this CD makes for both a fascinating and exhilarating listening experience. The joy and comfort of hearing so many of his old classics (and there are TOO many to list; you KNOW these gems) is augmented by surprise cover tunes such as "Red Rubber Ball", "Monday Monday" "La Bamba", and "Hanky Panky." Bonus points for ending the album with "Shilo," one of my very favorite Neil Diamond songs. Sheer joy!

The CD comes with a 24-page booklet that includes the short essay by Baltin, as well as a longer look at Diamond's early Bang years, written by none other than Neil himself. I love his synopsis of this collection: "At its heart, it's all about a hungry kid from Brooklyn, New York who had an emptiness so deep inside that it has yet be filled." Lucky for us, however, that Neil's song have become such an important part of our own lives, filling us with love and happiness. These songs are among the greatest pop creations of the 1960s. Listen and savor this musical magic!

When your heart and your trust and your entire being is broken in a million pieces all over the ground it only leaves you with one option. Stay broken forever or pick them up and start healing.
What a long journey this has been for Emma.
And while my heart remains broken for her, I have also wanted to stomp all over hers even more so than has already been done.
Evan and Emma are earth shattering ground moving soul mates. When Evan tells Emma it will always be her, he means it 100%.
What a beautiful horrific story. What a beautiful ending.
I am so happy that they found peace and found each others love again.
Bravo to the author for an amazing amazing series!

Me, who was never really a rocker, love the two rocks songs on this beautiful soundtrack.
The song "Endless Love" is timeless.  I listen to it every morning before going to work and before going to bed at night.
The instrumentals are perfect and I love the conversation pieces as well.
If I ever get married, Lionel and Diana will definitely be at my wedding through "Endless Love"  :)
Peace.

I couldn't wait to purchase Lizz' follow-up to Salt and while I enjoy listening to this CD, it doesn't compare to Salt.  In some ways, it seems kinda monotone.  In any event, this isn't about Salt, so...my favorite cuts are I'm Confessing, Stop, A Taste of Honey and Wake Up Little Sparrow.  Lizz still reigns supreme in my book and this CD is infinitely better than any of that other gobbledy-gook that's passing for "popular/R&B" music these days.  Her voice is simply fabulous!

Love Diamond! I've never read one of Peter Lovesey's books that I didn't like. This book was no exception. Peter Diamond gets physical in this one, with more twists and turns than ever. There are two writters that I always look forward to getting their next book. Petter Lovesey is one of them. I'm never disappointed.

I have a dilemma because Im not sure I can write a review that signifies just how much I loved this book plus I want everyone to read this book. But at the same time, I don't want to give away the story.
The prologue starts with the death of Lizs husband and soulmate. (Im not giving anything away because its in the synopsis). This was the first time I was in tears. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Have your tissues read. In fact, youll need them close by while you're reading the whole book. Chapter one picks up 6 months later.
Although I haven't lost a partner, Rachel Higginsons writing allowed me to connect with Liz as she embarked on one of the hardest journeys anyone has to travel. I experienced a myriad of emotions  I cried, I sighed, I smiled but most of all, I hoped.
Some might think Lizs world is one of chaos and disorder, but I loved it and I loved her children. I wish I had Emma as my sister. But most of all, I loved Ben. I challenge you not to fall in love with him.
This book is called The 5 Stages of Falling in Love but its also about the 5 stages of grief. I loved how the author tied these two things together. You might think that is impossible, but Rachel Higginson did and wrote a book that Im sure Im going to read over and over again.
I gave The 5 Stages of Falling in Love 5 stars
