*************************
Every story has a narrator. Someone who writes it down after it’s all over. Why am I the narrator of this story? I am because it is the story of my life–and of the people I love most. . . .”Harry and Madeleine Winslow have been blessed with talent, money, and charm. Harry is a National Book Award–winning author on the cusp of greatness. Madeleine is a woman of sublime beauty and grace whose elemental goodness and serenity belie a privileged upbringing. Bonded by deep devotion, they share a love that is both envied and admired. The Winslows play host to a coterie of close friends and acolytes eager to bask in their golden radiance, whether they are in their bucolic East Hampton cottage, abroad in Rome thanks to Harry’s writing grant, or in their comfortable Manhattan brownstone.One weekend at the start of the summer season, Harry and Maddy, who are in their early forties, meet Claire and cannot help but be enchanted by her winsome youth, quiet intelligence, and disarming naivete. Drawn by the Winslows’ inscrutable magnetism, Claire eagerly falls into their welcoming orbit. But over the course of the summer, her reverence transforms into a dangerous desire. By Labor Day, it is no longer enough to remain one of their hangers-on. A story of love, lust, deception, and betrayal as seen through the omniscient eyes of Maddy’s childhood friend Walter, a narrator akin to Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, Indiscretion is a juicy, richly textured novel filled with fascinating, true-to-life characters–an irresistibly sensual page-turner that explores having it all and the consequences of wanting more.Indiscretion also marks the debut of a remarkably gifted writer and storyteller whose unique voice bears all the hallmarks of an exciting new literary talent.

natched through a portal into a land of magic, a young musician must use a mysterious, multistring duar to rescue the world into which he has fallen before he can return to his own
Jonathan Thomas Meriweather is a typical college student, interested in girls, music, and an occasional taste of reefer. But when a journey through an interdimensional portal lands him in a world of talking animals and ominous sorcery, he finds he is on a very different trip indeed. Here, when he plays a strange instrument called a duar, peculiar things happen–powerful magic that may be the only way to stop a dark force that threatens his new world–and his old one. Reluctantly, he finds himself teaming up with a semi-senile turtle wizard; a thieving, backstabbing otter; and a bewildered Marxist dragon to rally an army for the war about to come. Spellsinger, the first in Alan Dean Foster’s eight-book Spellsinger series, introduces a world of magic and mayhem, where animals are people and plunging ahead no matter what the consequences may be the only way to survive.

Buka HD
Genre(s): Games
Buka makes the stars go boom.”
In this cute game of skill, you face the impossible odds of countless baddies. But you must succeed in order to help Buka on her quest to find the Happy Place.
But How Can I Help?
The enemies are flying in from all directions and at different speeds. You’ll certainly have to be on your toes to succeed, but you’re the only one that can help poor Buka. She’s cute, she’s charming, she’s blue, and she’ll make you want to save her: “Me go so far. Go with me.”
Protect Buka by creating powerful shockwaves and explosions with just a single touch. “TAP TAP TAP make baddies go away.” With a short touch, you can use shockwaves to push objects closer or farther away. With a longer touch, you can destroy your enemies. The longer the touch, the bigger the explosion, and if you time it right, you can take out many enemies at a time. But be careful because the resulting debris can be just as deadly. (Sometimes it’s easier just to move out of the way.) Pay attention for special pieces of debris, however, as they can help you out.
There are lots of options, too. Play in either of two modes: Journey mode adds an adventure element to the game while in Survival mode you simply destroy everything you can. Change how you move Buka: either using the accelerometer or by touching and dragging her. You can also send your scores to the leaderboard and more. Buka integrates with Facebook for leaderboard results, friend invitations and challenges, and sharing achievements.
Destroy what you can of the enemies blocking your path and navigate through the rest. You’re bound to find the Happy Place.

Beautiful Things by Gungor
Genre(s): Christian, Gospel
From an Amazon Top Reviewer:
heard what a wonderful, revolutionary album this was from friends and bloggers, so when it was released this week I bought it the first day online.
I was doubtful it could live up to the hype, because when I asked what was so unique and different about this band, they all couldn’t explain yet encouraged me to see it in concert and listen to it.
After listening to it a few times, I’m hooked. My friends were right: This is a truly special album! I think I love each and every song for a different reason. Some seem playful, others just fun. All are a delight to the senses. My only regret is ordering it online because the music is so good I sometimes miss focusing on the lyrics, and the lyrics themselves are equally as moving and meaningful as the creativity in the music itself.
Gungor: Please come do a concert in California!
Just amazingly stunning, richly crafted music. I’m not one that listens to “worship music” all the time but I love this, and surprisingly, it draws me into worship, wonder and awe every time I listen.
