I was perplexed by Mose Rabeinu's placement into the eightth row of Rabbi Akiba's Classroom until I read Rabbi Cardozo's Explanation. With similar genius he turned the very complex to a basic idea of understanding. Thank you

Blood On The Wind: The Memoirs Of Flying Horse Mollie, A Yampa Ute, is an eye-witness account of the events of 1880 when U.S. Army troops expelled the Yampa Utes from Colorado and compelled them to reside on a Utah reservation. Flying Horse Millie was a teenager at the time and tried to come to terms with the overwhelming forces that seemed designed to drive her people's traditional way of life into extinction. Now in her nineties and with a dozen books and several awards to her credit, author Lucile Bogue's account of Flying Horse Millie, her fears for the future, her disappointments in the adults who failed to protect her, her sadness in the face of loss, and her eventual personal maturity and assumed responsibility for the well-being of her tribe's next generation is an invaluable contribution to Native American studies and a compelling read for anyone who enjoys a riveting memoir of an ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances.

I loved it - if you live in LA you HAVE to read it!

This series by Nathan Aldyne (who I just recently found out was not a real person but a nom de plume for two writers collaborating) was what got me hooked on the genre of gay mysteries. I loved the characters, the settings, the plots, the humour, everything!

I actually read them when they first came out (!) in the early-to-mid 80's. I think I was able to read Vermilion and Cobalt back-to-back in 1983 (since they were published in '80 and '82, respectively) and eagerly awaited the next installment, which turned out to be Slate in '84 (followed by Canary in '86). I was very disappointed when nothing new came out in '88 or anytime after. It's one of the strengths of the Internet that I can now know why this series ended then (one of the collaborators died).

Anyway, I'd give all of the books in this series 5 stars since I re-read them all regularly and still laugh. I'm glad that they have been reissued since my little paperbacks are getting quite yellowed and brittle and I can now replace them.

If you enjoy good mysteries filled with humour and a gay twist, you'll enjoy any of these books. As with many series, it's more enjoyable to read them in order.

Up to this point, no one has anwsered the questions that this book has. It's the greatest. Better than the doctors by far. Easy to read and gives confidence to the caregiver. I'm am so grateful someone has finally put into words all of the side effects of this disease.

Liz Jarrett's zany voice lends sparkle to the Harlequin Duet series Hometown Heartthrobs. One of the greatest challenges in writing for the Duet line is meeting the demand for humor and romance while still creating a story and characterizations with depth. Jarrett rises to the challenge with well-laid out conflict, pacing that enhances the narrative flow and engaging wit. Further, Jarrett deftly demonstrates her gift for creating strong characters that feel overwhelmed by their attraction yet hesitate to commit to a long-term relationship. CATCHING CHASE and NABBING NATHAN combine in a dynamic and amusing read, proving that Jarrett's witty style can't help but win reader's hearts. Very highly recommended.
