Book Description   The last thing Renee Gilmore remembers is being rescued by a pair of unknown arms after her drug-dealer boyfriend attempts to murder her. She wakes up in a beautiful glass house surrounded by doctors and the man that saved her life, Lamont Myers. Lamont offers her protection, if she abides by his rules. Among these; she must not leave the house, making her the bird in his gilded cage. Danny Hansen is a Bosnian immigrant who came to America to escape the bloodshed of his country and the memories of his own involvement.

Book Description   Plastic built the modern world. Where would we be without bike helmets, baggies, toothbrushes, and pacemakers? But a century into our love affair with plastic, we’re starting to realize it’s not such a healthy relationship. Plastics draw on dwindling fossil fuels, leach harmful chemicals, litter landscapes, and destroy marine life. As journalist Susan Freinkel points out in this engaging and eye-opening book, we’re nearing a crisis point. We’ve produced as much plastic in the past decade as we did in the entire twentieth century. We’re drowning in the stuff, and we need to start making some hard choices. Freinkel gives us the tools we need with a blend of lively anecdotes and analysis. She combs through scientific studies and economic data, reporting from China and across the United States to assess the real impact of plastic on our lives. She tells her story through eight familiar plastic objects: comb, chair, Frisbee, IV bag, disposable lighter, grocery bag

  Book Description   Free at last! Free at last! This ain't your grandfather's Huckleberry Finn.It's nineteenth century America and a mutant strain of tuberculosis is bringing its victims back from the dead. Sometimes they come back docile, and other times vicious. The vicious ones are sent back to Hell, but the docile ones are put to work as servants and laborers. With so many zombies on the market, the slave trade is nonexistent. The black man is at liberty, and human bondage is no more. Young Huckleberry Finn has grown up in a world that shuns the N-word, with its scornful eye set on a new class of shambling, putrid sub-humans: The Baggers. When his abusive father comes back into his life, Huck flees down the river with Bagger Jim, seeking a life of perfect freedom. When the pox mutates once again, causing even the tamest of baggers to become bloodthirsty monsters, the boy Finn is forced to question his relationship with his dearest, deadest friend. In this revis

Book Description   The year is 2494. Almost five years ago, Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay were members of the Heaven’s Devils, an elite Confederate marine unit praised for its nerves of steel and combat expertise. After making a stand against their corrupt commanding officer, the two men were forced to go AWOL or risk being unjustly prosecuted and resocialized. Now, Raynor and Findlay are outlaws hounded by an unyielding interstellar marshal. Life, however, has never been better. Each day is another chance to pilfer more credits from the Confederacy’s deep coffers. Each night holds the promise of spending their hard-earned profits in bars, brothels, and gambling halls. But a man can only run so far before the law—and his past—catch up with him. . . . Devils’ Due recounts an unforgettable period of Jim Raynor’s life as he descends into the Koprulu sector’s criminal underworld alongside the street-savvy Findlay. Here, far from his humble upbringing on the fringe world of Shiloh

Product Review   I recently received a digital copy of Yanni’s newest CD from One2One Network. This is Yanni’s first album in several years.  I had always liked listening to Yanni.  His music is very relaxing.   Truth of Touch was no different. The album is labeled as an instrumental album.  However, there are two songs on it that actually have lyrics.  On those two songs, the instruments play the key role.  My favorite song is Guilty Pleasure.   It seems almost to have a mellow jazz beat to it.  The Track List Includes: Truth Of Touch Echo Of A Dream Seasons Voyage Flash Of Color Vertigo Nine Can’t Wait Guilty Pleasure O Luce Che Brilla Nell’Oscurita I’m So Long Way Home Yanni & Arturo Mist Of A Kiss Secret   Yanni recently started a 40 date US tour.  He will be travelling through most major cities in the US.  Check here for Yanni Tour Dates nearest you.

I recently received a bottle of Purex Complete with Zout.  The first thing I looked for is the HE symbol on the bottle to make sure that it is compatible with my machine.  Thankfully it was.  I also noticed that it can be used in both top loading and front loading washers. When I opened the bottle, I was amazed at how wonderful it smelled.   It wasn’t overpowering in the least bit.  I was definitely wondering how the scent would hold up after washing.  I know many detergents smell good when you open the bottle, but don’t hold the fragrance after the wash.  I was happy to see that the scent not only lasted through the wash, but it stayed with the clothes until they were worn.  Here is your chance to get a free sample of Purex to try.  Just go to this site , fill out the form, and you will receive sample packets in the mail. Giveaway   I have two coupons for free full sized bottles of Purex with Zout to giveaway to one lucky reader.    Follow Wakela’s World on Twitter  

Book Description   The stranger’s cloak had fallen back, and with it, a long, white, blood-stained wing. When Melaia, a young priestess, witnesses the gruesome murder of a stranger in the temple courtyard, age-old legends recited in song suddenly come to life. She discovers wings on the stranger, and the murderer takes the shape of both a hawk and a man. Angels. Shape-shifters. Myths and stories—until now. Melaia finds herself in the middle of a blood feud between two immortal brothers who destroyed the stairway to heaven, stranding angels in the earthly realm. When the feud turns violent and Melaia becomes a target, she finds refuge with a band of angels attempting to restore the stairway. But the restoration is impossible without the repayment of an ancient debt—the “breath of angel, blood of man,” a payment that involves Melaia’s heart, soul, and destiny. Book Review   This book is the first in the Angeleon Circle.  This was an incredible book.  It was an
