Royal Flash (Flashman)

Royal Flash (Flashman) Review

In Volume II of the Flashman Papers, Flashman tangles with femme fatale Lola Montez and the dastardly Otto Von Bismarck in a battle of wits which will decide the destiny of a continent. In this volume of The Flashman Papers, Flashman, the arch-cad and toady, matches his wits, his talents for deceit and malice, and above all his speed in evasion against the most brilliant European statesman and against the most beauiful and unscrupulous adventuress of the era. From London gaming-halls and English hunting-fields to European dungeons and throne-rooms, he is involved in a desperate succession of escapes, disguises, amours and (when he cannot avoid them) hand-to-hand combats. All the while, the destiny of a continent rests on his broad and failing shoulders.

Hunted (The Flash Gold Chronicles, #2)

Hunted (The Flash Gold Chronicles, #2) Review

Self-taught tinkerer Kali McAlister is determined to build an airship and escape the frigid Yukon forever. Unfortunately, she’s the heir to the secrets of flash gold, an alchemical energy source that tends to make her a popular target for bandits, gangsters, and pirates.

With the help of her bounty-hunting business partner, Cedar, Kali has outwitted and eluded attackers before, and she thinks she’s prepared for anything. Then her ex-fiancé strolls into her workshop.

As if fooling her once wasn’t enough, he aims to embroil her in a fresh scheme. Meanwhile, a new nemesis is stalking her, a shrouded figure with an arsenal of deadly machines that make Kali’s inventions seem like toys. This time, it’ll take more than her ingenuity and Cedar’s combat skills to survive.

Hunted is a 27,000-word steampunk novella.

The Hot Flash Club: A Novel

The Hot Flash Club: A Novel Review

From the bestselling author of Between Husbands and Friends and An Act of Love comes a wise, wonderful, and delightfully witty “coming of age” novel about four intrepid women who discover themselves as they were truly meant to be: passionate, alive, and ready to face the best years of their lives.

Meet Faye, Marilyn, Alice, and Shirley. Four women with skills, smarts, and secrets—all feeling over the hill and out of the race. But in a moment of delicious serendipity, they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones and lost dreams. Now as the Hot Flash Club, where the topics of motherhood, sex, and men are discussed with double servings of chocolate cake, they vow to help each other . . . and themselves.

Faye, the artist. A determinedly cheerful widow and connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she’s struggling with creative block and an empty, lonely house. Now she’s got a tricky problem to bring to the club’s table: how can they catch her perfect son-in-law cheating on her only daughter Laura?

Shirley, the healer. Though her yoga-slender body belie her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of being broke make her feel her age. Shirley has a secret dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. But first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities, and in her friends at the club.

Marilyn, the brain. A paleontologist who has spent so many years looking at dried-up fossils, she’s almost become one herself. Worried that her brilliant but nerdy son is about to marry the very wrong woman, she gets some help from the HFC, who transform her from a caterpillar to a butterfly, with amazing results.

Alice, the executive. Black and regal, she soared to the top of the corporate ladder. Now her shoes are murder on her arthritic back and the younger jackals are circling in for the kill. But as the inspiration behind the HFC, she’s about to discover something extraordinary: contentment.

For Faye, Shirley, Marilyn, and Alice, the time has come to use it or lose it—be it their bodies, their brains, their spirits, and their sense of fun. Together they realize that they can have it all, perhaps for the first time in their lives. And though what sags may never rise again, feeling sexy has no expiration date— and best of all, with a little help from her friends, a woman can always start over . . . and never, ever, give up what matters most.

Digital Subtraction Flash Cards in Color (1-9 Shuffled Twice)

Digital Subtraction Flash Cards in Color (1-9 Shuffled Twice) Review

This eBook includes 180 digital subtraction flash cards in color (where color is available). Each flash card is decorated with smiley faces and looks just like the flash cards depicted on the thumbnail image for the cover of this eBook.

The 180 subtraction flash cards include two sets of 1-1 thru 18-9. All of the flash cards are shuffled.

The reason that all of the flash cards are shuffled (unlike our matching addition flash cards book, where the first set is in order and the second set is shuffled) is that kids who have already tried to memorize their addition facts should be able to learn the subtraction facts by understanding how subtraction relates to addition. For example, if you know that 6 plus 5 equals 11, by understanding what subtraction means, you can deduce that 11 minus 5 equals 6. Therefore, instead of putting the first set of subtraction flash cards in order, we thought that it would offer better practice for both sets to be shuffled.

If your child is just learning the subtraction facts, but has already tried to learn his or her addition facts, we suggest that you try to explain that subtraction is very much like addition, but rearranged. If you add 3 to 6, you get 9. If you take 3 from 9, you get 6. 3 + 6 = 9. 9 – 3 = 6. A child who can make this connection only has to memorize one set of facts instead of two. Once your child understands that subtraction facts can be answered by rearranging addition facts, he or she will need practice in order to apply this concept successfully. The two shuffled sets of subtraction flash cards included in this eBook are designed to offer just such practice.

If your child has not yet tried to learn his or her addition facts, we recommend that you begin with addition, and use this subtraction book once your child has begun to master his or her addition facts.

Each flash card appears as its own picture on its own page. All of the flash cards come in pairs: First comes the problem flash card, followed by the corresponding answer flash card. The answer flash card reminds you what the problem was. So first you see the problem, and then you check your answer immediately.

This eBook reads like a book. It is not a program or a game. It does not use a random number generator. The flash cards do look like ordinary flashcards (and they are in color and are decorated with smiley faces). Each subtraction fact appears twice. Both sets of subtraction flash cards are shuffled so that kids can’t guess the answer based on a pattern. However, the shuffled cards will always appear in the same order.
