Funny, tender and romantic tale of law school Dean Garth Matthews who, upon receiving a multi-million dollar leadership award from a prestigious Foundation becomes embroiled in an international art theft ring, just as he falls hopelessly for the beautiful and mysterious granddaughter, Julia, of the Foundation's powerful Matriarch. First novel by esteemed legal expert Glen Weissenberger! Check out Glen's wonderful new novel. Average review 4.5 on Amazon. I give it a 5. Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley The magical legend of King Arthur is magically retold through the eyes and lives of the women who wielded power from behind the throne. A spellbinding novel, an extraordinary literary achievement, THE MISTS OF AVALON will stay with you for a long time to come. Diana's Note: This is one of my all-time favorite books. I have read it at least three times, and enjoy it more each time. Those of you who are familiar with the story, will see references to my "Kandide" series in it. |

Now king, he weds his intended and the kingdom rejoices when a daughter named Snow White is born. Beyond the castle walls, Rapunzel waits in her crumbling tower, gathering news of her beloved from those who come to her seeking wisdom. She tries to mend her broken heart but her love lingers, pulsing in the magic tendrils of her hair. The king, too, is haunted by his memories, but after his queen’s mysterious death, he is finally able to follow his heart into the darkness of the forest. But can Rapunzel trade the shadows of the forest for the castle and be the innocent beauty he remembers? |

The Legend of Dust Bunnies, a Fairy's Tale by Michelle R. Eastman
Michelle R. Eastman's charming book is a refreshingly lighthearted story about a very important topic: Being Yourself. It will open your eyes to a world of dirt and dust that you never knew could be so magical and fun. Did you know that Dust Fairies come into our homes at night and spread dust, spider webs, and even spit crumbs into the carpet? They do! Well, not all fairies. Artie is different. He doesn't like messes, and he doesn't fit in. At first, Artie is lonely and unsure of what to do, but then he takes matters into his own hands. It is the story about how and why a misfit Dust Fairy turns dust into cuddly dust bunnies and the joyful aftermath that follows. (Picture book, ages 3-9) |

Erica Dhawan is simply brilliant. Her concept of Connectional Intelligence unlocks the 21st-century secret to getting "big things done," regardless of who you are, where you live, or what you do. We typically associate success and leadership with smarts, passion and luck. But in today's hypercompetitive world, even those gifts aren't enough. Get Big Things Done argues that the game changer is a thoroughly modern skill called Connectional Intelligence. Virtually anyone can maximize his or her potential, and achieve breakthrough performance, by developing this crucial ability. Connectional Intelligence is the ability to combine knowledge, ambition and human capital, forging connections on a global scale that create unprecedented value and meaning. As radical a concept as Emotional Intelligence was in the 90s, Connectional Intelligence is changing everything from business and sports to academics, health and politics by quickly, efficiently and creatively helping people enlist supporters, drive innovation, develop strategies, and implement solutions to big problems.
