Tis the season for great family movies! Let me tell you about Norm of the North!
A polar bear of many words, Norm’s greatest gripe is simple: there
is no room for tourists in the Arctic. But when a maniacal developer
threatens to build luxury condos in his own backyard, Norm does what all normal
polar bears would do…he heads to New York City to stop it. With a cast of
ragtag lemmings at his side, Norm takes on the big apple, big business and a
big identity crisis to save the day. www.NormOfTheNorth.Movie

I love Star Wars! I can even tolerate Jar Jar Binks. So when I was offered the opportunity to see Star Wars The Force Awakens, well I was all kinds of excited!
There has been so much hype and all kinds of products bearing Star Wars logos that I was a bit dubious it would live up to all the press. Well, it did.... in a BIG way!
Oh..... My..... Gosh!! What a movie!
Do you remember the first time you saw the original Star Wars? The excitement, the wonder, the sense of discovering something entirely new? That's exactly what this movie did for me all over again! The minute the movie started with the familiar Star Wars logo and that amazing music by John Williams, I was swept away! It's a brand new movie, but it manages to evoke all those emotions we experienced with the first Star Wars movie.
I usually do a quick synopsis of a movie when I review it, but not this one. I don't want anything to spoil it for you. There are amazing revelations, we get to see our old friends again, and make new ones! The battles are epic, the light sabers are completely cool, the villains are... well, pretty villainess.
I was on the edge of my seat during the battles! I laughed, I gasped out loud at times, I even shed a few tears. I felt like I'd been on an adventure when the movie was over. I almost didn't want to leave the theater... I didn't want the experience to end.
It is a long movie, over two hours, but the time passed so quickly. I really was swept away in all the magic that is Star Wars! I'm going back tomorrow and taking my family with me! I'm excited for them to see it, and I'm really excited to see it again!
May the Force Be With You!

Shadow Wolf... right away the title of this book draws me in! It's capturing your attention too, isn't it?
So what is this book about?
From the book cover:
Elite tracker Kino Cosen is hunting for the drug lord who murdered his father. After a decade of searching, he's finally got the Viper in his sight—until a woman gets in the way. Now Kino has a new lead. Aid worker Lea Atlaha has seen the Viper face-to-face…and lived. But now Lea's a target. And while Kino thinks he's protecting her because she can help him get justice for his father, he soon realizes that she's not just another witness. As the Viper moves in for the kill, Kino has to choose between his need for vengeance, the traditions of his tribe and the woman he has grown to love.
Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, I agree! This book does not disappoint. I'm an avid reader of mysteries and suspense and this book by author Jenna Kernan held my attention the whole time. I loved reading a book set in my own backyard (southern Arizona) and loved learning about the Shadow Wolves and the Apache Tribe. The suspense kept me turning the pages and I liked the interaction between Lea and Kino.
There is a subplot about a younger sister that Kino and his brothers thought was dead, but recently discovered she was alive. I'm excited to read the rest of the series to find out where this part of the story goes.
A big thumbs up to Jenna Kernan for a great romantic suspense novel! I'm really excited to read the next novel, Hunter Moon.
