5 things for Monday

The troubled singer Amy Winehouse joined the 27 club when she passed away in her London home July 23. An English singer-songwriter known for her powerful contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B,soul and jazz, she is credited for influencing the recent rise of popularity of female musicians and soul music. With 5 grammys under her belt, Amy Winehouse was just starting to show the world her infinite talent, but a life time use of drug and alcohol finally took it’s toll and the world has lost another gifted soul.

We can only hope she is finally at peace.

My New Book Review Is At Smexy Books

Todays's book review is on Blood Rites. Book 6 of the terribly popular Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher.

Harry Dresden is a professional wizard who has unimaginable powers, has saved the world umpteenth times, and has loved and lost. 

Yet he still can't pay his rent on time.

So when his young friend Thomas asks for Harry's help concerning a friend...Harry can't say no. But he'll wish he had.

For Harry soon finds himself waist deep in vampire politics again; having to pit his magic and his friends lives against those who want to see him dead for good.
