March 17th: Hotel Chocolat Less Sweet Selection
In and amongst all the Easter goodies Hotel Chocolat sent my way this year they were also nice enough to include this Less Sweet Selection Box. Described as a collection of 'less sweet recipes so that the authentic flavours of cocoa and praline shine through' it sounded like a decent enough proposition to me, and I eagerly read the handy menu included inside which handily identified the chocolates inside.
The collection comprised of 21 pieces - milk and dark batons, gianduja cubes, mellow caramel truffles, hazelnut praline truffles and lastly some orange praline truffles. The presentation was was pretty familiar looking in style, and combined sleek and sophisticated outer packaging with several protective inner layers that ensured the freshness and high maintenance of each of the different pieces. As you will see from the chocolates below all of them looked pretty appetising, but it was the caramel piece that really stood out with some intricate swirls on the surface of each chocolate.
Below are my thoughts on each of the different chocolates rated from Awful-to-Superb ...
Milk & Dark Chocolate Batons - These were both excellent as I expected, with the milk chocolate batons formed of the 50% house recipe and the dark chocolate batons formed of the 74% house recipe. The milk chocolate was noticeably a little less sweet than the normal 40% cocoa recipe used across the majority of Hotel Chocolat products, though the dark batons really stood out taking the depth of flavour that stage further and had a richer, longer lasting taste. Both chocolates melted with infinite ease into their liquor states and provided an experience that was not only luxurious in taste but also wonderful feeling in the mouth. They were a real joy to eat. Superb.
Mellow Caramel - This pieces was the best looking in the selection and was the one that I was really looking forward to trying. Much like the dark chocolate batons the outer chocolate was superb and had a nice long, rich taste that grew in flavour volume as it melted. The inner caramel praline centre did bring a small notes of sweet toffee and butter to the party, however I was expecting more and would have really welcomed a minor hint of salt to play off the sweetness of the caramel flavours which would have made it truly outstanding. Good.
Hazelnut Praline - The outer 50% chocolate was super smooth in melt and established a creamy, rich cocoa taste as soon as it was placed on the tongue. Sitting below this glorious outer chocolate layer a drier filling of hazelnut praline provided strong woody hazelnuts which further reaffirmed the fresh tasting, crunchy whole hazelnut pieces that lined the top of each truffle. As hazelnut chocolates go this was absolutely fantastic, so much so I made a point of swagging all three before my family could nab them :D Superb.
Orange Praline - out of everything in the selection this piece appealed to me the least, however I am glad to say it wasn't out of place amongst the other fantastic chocolates. The outer 74% dark chocolate brought strong, unsweetened cocoa flavours to the party straight away and melted with a pleasant smoothness to reveal the soft, smooth filling below. Conversely to the outer chocolate the orange filling was sweet tasting, with some zingy citrus flavours that contrasted well with the dark chocolate. Orange chocolates are never my first choice but this was up there with the best of them. Very Good.
Gianduja Cubes - Well I have reviewed these on their own before (See HERE) so I need say very little apart from refer you that previous review. These are among the very best of all the great things that Hotel Chocolat make, if you haven't tried these already and love praline you really need to do yourself a favour and buy some. Superb.
Overall this Less Sweet Selection provides a good insight into some of Hotel Chocolat's capabilities, however I wouldn't rank it alongside some of their other finer selection boxes. The quality of the chocolate involved here is unquestionable - the 50% milk chocolate and 74% dark chocolate are amongst the best out there and I think it is a very safe bet to say you will get undoubtedly get a lot of pleasure out of the plain chocolate batons. The Gianduja Cubes are quite simply in a league of their own - I can't say anything more positive about them than that, you simply need to try them for yourself to really understand how good they are. Personally I think the truffles are what hold this selection back somewhat. Although I have classified all of them as Good or above, you have to consider the fact that if someone doesn't like orange, nuts or caramel the options are a little limited. This collection isn't the most varied that Hotel Chocolat offer but if you are looking for a small selection of fine chocolates you do well looking at this Less Sweet Selection.

They have done this collection for ages now I am a little surprised you hadn't reviewed it previously.
I remember having this a few years ago. - March 17, 2010
The variety of chocolates isn't that great is it?
If you don't like nuts I can't imagine you would really like to get a box of these.
Luckily I do though lol.
Rxxx - March 17, 2010
Jim if you are impressed by these plain chocolate batons you should try the white and caramel pack. I got some last month for my birthday and they were seriously amazing.
- March 17, 2010
You are totally right about the gianduja being in a different class. I could have a box of them all too myself.
I thought you were going to give the caramel chocolate another superb as I know you love your caramels. Obviously not lol.
Dx - March 17, 2010
I wish I could buy Hotel Chocolate. They should sell their chocolate in export.
- March 17, 2010
If this isn't the best Hotel Chocolat thing for milk chocolate fans, what is?
I don't think the variance in chocolate is that bad. You get a fruity one, two nutty one and a caramel one. What is wrong with that? - March 17, 2010
The stick things look a bit boring but I can't take my eyes off some of the truffles.
I wish I had the money to have Hotel Chocolat everyday. Sadly I don't think I will be able to upgrade from my usual Lion bar any time soon :( - March 17, 2010
I think it's great how HC cater for all tastes. However I have to say the packaging looks rather boring and uninviting. It doesn't do the chocolates themselves justice.
- March 17, 2010
After reading your review of you the Gianduja chocolates I had to buy some.
You will be glad to hear that they lived up to expextactions and even exceeded them. You aren't a true fan of chocolate until you have tried them. - March 17, 2010

Dear Jim,
Please stop writing about so many yummy things from Hotel Chocolat my bank account can't take the strain.
Lol Thanks
Lauren - March 17, 2010
I would rather have more tuffles in place of the plain chocolates as they are a bit boring in my opinion.
I like that they have included both fruit and nut but it would have been good to see them combined in to one chocolate like I see they have done on previous truffles. - March 17, 2010
This might come across as a really stupid question - but what is Gianduja? I keep hearing about it from all angles but I don't actually know what one/it is? Can someone please tell me.
- March 17, 2010
I have all my fingers crossed that this year will be the one that I get a Hotel Chocolat easter egg. I have all my fingers crossed but I won't be holding out all my hope.
Knowing my luck I will just get lumped with the usual crappy cadburys one. If that is the case I bet get a cadburys mug :) - March 17, 2010
The endless Hotel Chocolat propaganda is getting hard to bare. Give it up already.
- March 17, 2010
I love it how someone can be so rude but not a leave a name. Very brave.
Hotel Chocolat are amazing and most of their chocolates taste exactly so.
Get a life. - March 17, 2010
Some people are odd aren't they. If you don't like what the guy writes about why do you not click the little X on the top right of your window.
I really like Hotel Chocolat chocolate and I doubt I would have been introduced to it had I not started reading this blog. You could probably do with trying some of their chocolate before you start spouting such rubbish.
A good place to start with be with the gianduja chocolates like Jim suggests.
Freddie - Gianduja is chocolate that is prepared with hazelnut paste. - March 17, 2010
The orange praline truffle looks great. I can see myself buying this mini selection in the future for a present for someone.
- March 17, 2010
This selection is very much to my taste so I wouldn't say no to it lol I think the caramel and orange would be particular favourites with me! I like the 'less sweet' idea, although as you say I'm sure there is a little room for improvement.
I still don't know if I like their packaging designs on these boxes (like on the caramels one)they just seem a bit dull to me lol - March 17, 2010
These appealed to me straight away as I prefer dark chocolate and often find milk chocolate too sweet. Will definitely try them.
- March 17, 2010
- lottie said...
What a nimble idea. I know loads of peeps who aren't keen on dark chocolate but find most milk chocolatey things too sugary. This fits neatly into the middle-ground I'd say.
Not for me personally, I'm too trashy and sugar is my handmaiden. Apart from the gianduja, which gives super powers I think.
The snippy anon, cripes propaganda?! We're not recruiting for war here. It's only chocolate. Chillax dear! - March 17, 2010
- Jim said...
I don't really control what they send me - I can ask for stuff but usually it is down to Hotel Chocolat what samples they send along.
I get your point their. If someone doesn't like nuts there isn't much to please them in this selection.
Long time no hear from you chap! Where you been? I will have to check out those caramel and white chocoalte batons. they sound like my sort of thing.
It wasn't the best caramel flavoured thing I have had from Hotel Chocolat.
The Gianduja cubes are still one of the best things I have reviewed this year.
They sell their chocolate in America aswell? I guess that isn't much help to you?
I don't think there is anything wrong at all with the selection ... but when you compare it to some of their other boxes this is no doubt a little weaker out of them all.
If you had Hotel Chocolat every day then it wouldn't seem so special when you did have it! Does that make any sense to you?
What I am trying to say is that if you had it everday it would then become that 'every day Lion bar'.
Really? I think you have said that before about this style of packaging they do haven't you?
I would say it isn't the most glamourous style of presentation they have, but I think it looks better in real life. Perhaps my photography isn't doing it justice.
They are fantastic aren't they. I would agree that they are well worth tracking down for any chocolate fans.
Sorry no can do :D if you really think this you might want to avoid the site in the coming weeks haha
I think the different chocolate batons do a nice job to be honest. I think they are nice to have in there myself.
I agree it would have been nice for them to have done a combined fruit and nut piece like they did in the Dark Sleekster box.
I think Duncan has done my job for me here. I suggest a quick wiki search if you are still unsure about it.
I would cross my fingers for you also but I have to type out the reviews :D
Is this worth responding to??? Nah!!
I am glad you agree. I just ignore people like that to be honest. They aren't worth responding to. If they feel so strongly they can send me an e-mail.
It is cool to hear my reviews led you to discovering something you get pleasure from. I would also recommend the gianduja cubes as a fantastic place to start with their range.
It would make a nice small present - it isn't that expensive either. Not by Hotel Chocolat rates anyway.
The only people I think who wouldn't like this selection would be people who don't like nuts. If that is the case you are a little buggered by that aside I think most people would love this.
As I said to Phil perhaps my photos aren't doing the packaging justice. I personally think they look pretty cool when actually in hand.
If you do try them I would love to hear your views - Hotel Chocolat do exceptional dark chocolate.
Indeed it is a nice middle ground - perfect for people who aren't that experienced with dark chocolate but want to try something a little stronger than their usual milk chocolate.
I have to thank you for pushing me to get involved with some gianduja products. For that I am forever in your debt!!
Regarding the anonymous poster I think it is best off left a alone. It is just some saddo who has nothing better to do. Describing it as propaganda is evidence of that!
Thanks everyone - more Hotel Chocolat coming very soon indeed! (sunday I think!)
JIM - March 17, 2010
How wierd, on the HC website the Less Sweet box is opposite in colour i.e white with blue and black writing rather than blue with white text! lol I think they do look a bit different in person though as you say, they do make alot of effort in protecting the chocs which is good I have to say :)
- March 17, 2010
Its not propoganda folks, its business.We all need money to live and hotel chocolate advertise a lot on this site.

A clinical mentor is a clinician currently working in the medical field who has agreed to mentor a CMU PA student once a week during his/her didactic year.
As the student progresses through the didactic year, allow students to perform H&P's on patients appropriate for student's level of skill and ability (refer to Mentor Guidelines).
For a Mentor Evaluation of Physician Assistant Student form, click Evaluation Form.
The following describes the classroom experience of our students to help you know what their knowledge base should be now and as the year progresses:
Summer I
The remaining semesters, in which the first year mentoring experience occurs, covers the following subjects:
Fall (late August through December)
Spring (January through early May)
Summer II (early May through end of July)
We understand very well that your practices are busy. One of the major concerns that potential preceptors have is getting behind on their schedules while mentoring a student. This is indeed sometimes difficult, but often a student can help by spending some extra time with people while you see several other patients. As they learn charting skills they can aide in the paper work as well.
What is my role as mentor?For the first few days in your clinic the student should spend some time learning how your clinic operates and shadowing you as you see and examine your patients. Fairly quickly though we expect the student to transition into a more active learning role. They are in their first year of their studies so medical knowledge will initially be limited; however, they know enough to begin taking focused medical histories.
After assessing your student's skills, we encourage you:
Of course, any patient the student sees also needs to be seen and evaluated by you. All chart notes need to be thoroughly reviewed and co-signed by you. A student may not perform any procedures independently. Should you choose to physically supervise, the students may attempt procedures you have taught them or they have learned in class; however you must be present and actively supervising. We invite you to quiz students and give them reading assignments as you teach.
Is the student covered by liability insurance?Students are covered by liability insurance through Central Michigan University as stated in the signed affiliation agreement. Students can work with any licensed provider in your practice as long as this agreement is in place.
Do I earn CME credits?If using hours for obtaining CME credits, you should verify the acceptability and applicability with your own licensing authorities and boards and should use actual hours performed.

It's the "publicity version" of Opium (never heard of that phrase before), by Carter & Van Peel (#27260, to be exact!). It starts off with very strong clove, like you get early on in Jacomo de Jacomo, then it softens up into a more feminine-smelling scent (spicy and ambery, with a bit of a sweet, powdery feel). Does this sound like a good copy of the women's version, or does it sound closer to the men's?

You are welcome and I definitely look forward to discussing the same. I have plenty of experience in the "Victim Role," and I am currently on a phenomenal journey home to myself!! I was in the victim role for most of my life, growing up in a dysfunctional family, riddled with drug & alcohol addiction(both parents) and total chaos! I then went from toxic relationships into a 12yr. abusive marriage. I survived it all, I am a strong woman and a survivor!! I believe that everything I went through was for a reason. To learn and to help others who are perhaps where I once was. Again Penny, I look forward to some awesome discussions soon.

Insites: The Book (and why I wanted to sponsor it)
Around this time last year at Brooklyn Beta, Keir Whitaker and Elliot Jay Stocks told me they were going to create a book of the same name as their excellent series of talks/meet-ups, Insites, which was to feature a series of in-depth interviews with notable people in our industry. This was to be the first project of Viewport Industries, their new venture which was their break from the grind of client work:
Earlier this year we organised Insites Tour together, and with all sorts of ideas for products — both digital and physical — bubbling around every time we went for a beer, we eventually decided to form a company, ditch the majority of our client work, and make some cool shit.
They asked me whether I wanted to sponsor the book, and I said yes for two main reasons:
- Keir and Elliot are two of the nicest and up-standing gents in our industry. Always humble, respectful and supportive of others.
- It's very exciting to see two people follow-through on their dream of doing their own thing. We all want to do that, but so few follow-through and execute.
I'm excited to see that Insites the book is now ready after many months of hard work and graft, and looks terrific as this Flickr set shows.
So congratulations to Keir and Elliot: I'm excited to see what they do and make next, but in the mean time I'm sure the book is going to be a succes and will inspire others to do their own thing.
Ultimately the moral of their story is, be nice and make nice things.

Comments about REI Passage 2 Footprint:
Great purchase to go along with my REI Passage 2 tent. I like that I can pick up and either move or shake out my tent when not staked down...if you try to move the tent with this footprint though, it will fall off immediately. I wish it was sized a little different so that the tension would match that of the tent. The tension is a slight mismatch with mine regardless of whether you use the inner or outer grommets on the tent. If I could pick up the tent without the footprint falling off...it would be a 5-star product for me.

Comments about REI Passage 2 Footprint:
This foot print is perfectly designed. The negative review below is not accurate. Footprints are SUPPOSED to be slightly smaller than the base of the tent. The reasoning for the footprint being smaller is so when it rains it does not catch water when it rains.
If you have issues with water coming through the bottom of the tent around the edges, then you need to take your tent down and move out of the middle of the creek.
You would think a reviewer would know this.

Comments about REI Passage 2 Footprint:
After ruining multiple tent bottoms in the rocky Ozark and Ouachita mountains, I sprung for a footprint and haven't looked back. This footprint is durable and waterproof, with color-coordinated tabs (with the Passage 2 tent and rainfly) for no guess-work in set up. Serves as a tarp and pack-cover in the rain. We don't leave home without it.

All I want is a better life for my children. I work as a Store Cashier but my days of work have been cut from 5 days a week to 3 days a week. I am now looking for a second job but with barely any money for gas and for other basics it is hard to even get to the interviews. I don't have anyone to turn for help. That is why I am reaching out to this amazing site GiveLocally.net. We will use any help we receive to fix our mobile home and move back in. If I can get a second job I will be able to take care of the kids as a single mother. I really want to thank you for this opportunity."

I do have one final, semi-serious Future of Reading post to write, but I'm caught up in a few other things and will have to put that off until tomorrow . . .
Now although libraries weren't a huge part of the discussion at the RIT conference the other week, they obviously play a huge role in the future of book culture. I know that I fell in love with reading thanks to my local library (we didn't have a bookstore in Essexville, Michigan, so thank god, thank god) and loved scanning all the various shelves for hidden treasures. Unfortunately, librarians don't get nearly enough love when we talk about the future of reading, books, book culture, etc., despite the fact that libraries have been dealing with readership and community issues for years now.
There were a couple news pieces earlier this week related to libraries that I think are worth pointing out. First off, over at Art Beat, the blog for NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Jeffrey Brown continued his "Next Chapter of Reading" series by talking with Camila Alire, president of the American Library Association, which held it's annual conference this past weekend (more on that in a minute):
Camila Alire: [. . .] I've talked to library school students all over the country this year and I tell them this is the most exciting time to be going to library school, to be coming into the profession, because these students are tech savvy, you know, they know everything about library 2.0. They know everything about the different mobile devices and all their capabilities. They know that they can just click on a mobile device and get to specific information. They come in, they are part of the solution in terms of thinking broadly and thinking ahead and thinking how we could incorporate the best technological advances in our libraries. Our public libraries listen to their communities. They do community analysis, and when they hear the community say we want more access, you know, 24/7 access. We want more electronic databases; they try to respond.
Jeffrey Brown: Well, you know, you've talked about new devices, you talked about the e-book, something we've talked a lot about here is the future of the book, the form it will take, who reads it and what do they read on and how do they read. How much is that discussion affecting your world as you think about the library of the future?
Camila Alire: Well, it's interesting because I think the lay person spends more time wondering about the future of the book than the librarians do. We want to be able to provide what our communities, what our customers want. E-books are really popular and they are getting even more popular now. In 2007 our public libraries provided about — 38 percent of their collections were e-books. That rose to 55 percent in 2009. The challenges in the readers and, also you know, I was just in a session yesterday where one of the librarians reported that people can just download a particular title, an e-book title onto their device, and then they have it; they don't have to come in to the library. They check it out virtually. We'll still have the printed words. But, you know, libraries have transformed. We have changed for a long, long time. I mean, we first only provided the printed the word. Then we were hearing from our communities that they wanted it on visual resources, so we did that. And they were saying, well, you know, we would like more online databases. Most people love the catalog. I am sure you can remember the card catalog, but you know there aren't a lot card catalogs around anymore.
And speaking of ebooks and libraries, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week on an Internet Archive project through which a group of libraries will make a slew of public domain and contemporary ebooks available to readers:
To read the books, borrowers around the world can download and read them for free on computers or e-reading gadgets. Software renders the books inaccessible once the loan period ends. Two-thirds of American libraries offered e-book loans in 2009, according to a survey by the American Library Association. But those were mostly contemporary imprints from the last couple of years—say, the latest Stephen King novel.
The Internet Archive project, dubbed Openlibrary.org, goes a step further by opening up some access to the sorts of books that may have otherwise gathered dust on library shelves—mainly those published in the past 90 years, but of less popular interest. [. . .]
With its latest project, the organization is making inroads into the idea of loaning in-copyright books to the masses. Only one person at a time will be allowed to check out a digital copy of an in-copyright book for two weeks. While on loan, the physical copy of the book won't be loaned, due to copyright restrictions.
The effort could face legal challenges from authors or publishers. Paul Aiken, the executive director of the Authors Guild—which challenged Google's scanning efforts—said "it is not clear what the legal basis of distributing these authors' work would be." He added: "I am not clear why it should be any different because a book is out of print. The authors' copyright doesn't diminish when a work is out of print."
Mr. Kahle said, "We're just trying to do what libraries have always done."
This plan—which may well work—brings together a few of the issues facing libraries today: how to reach readers who live digitally, and how to work within shrinking budgets. Jeff Brown brought up budget cuts in his conversation with Camila Alire, and they talked about reduced hours, closing on Sunday, etc., etc. That all sucks, but makes sense in our economic climate. What doesn't make sense is FOX News Chicago (surprise, surprise!) and this piece (thanks BoingBoing) on tax money and libraries:
They eat up millions of your hard earned tax dollars. It's money that could be used to keep your child's school running. So with the internet and e-books, do we really need millions for libraries? [. . .]
But keeping libraries running costs big money. In Chicago, the city pumps $120 million a year into them. In fact, a full 2.5 percent of our yearly property taxes go to fund them.
That's money that could go elsewhere – like for schools, the CTA, police or pensions.
Knowing Illinois like I sorta do, I can only imagine the ways in which politicians could embezzle and/or misuse this $120 million. (And while we're talking about FOX, this Onion article is brilliant. " 'Our very way of life is under siege,' said Mortensen, whose understanding of the Constitution derives not from a close reading of the document but from talk-show pundits, books by television personalities, and the limitless expanse of his own colorful imagination.")
And while this is all devolving into a series of jokes (man, it's almost Friday, right?), I wanted to come back to the ALA conference for a second. I was there on Saturday afternoon to participate in a really interesting panel on translations. Alane Mason of W.W. Norton and Words Without Borders spoke, as did the very impressive Edwin Gentzler.
That's all fine and good—the ALA is a wonderful conference, with very interesting panels, thousands of cool libraries, etc., etc. But really, the best reason to go to the ALA is the Book Cart Drill Team World Championships. I have no idea who won this year (should've delayed my flight!), but I really hope it was "Gett Down With Your Funky Shelf":

Well it's time for another Super Mom Challenge update! As a personal trainer I play many roles in my clients lives; coach, cheerleader, disciplinarian, teacher and student... yes student. You see I learn as much from my clients as they (hopefully) learn from me. All good relationships are a two-way street and the personal trainer/client relationship is no different!
With each and every client I have learned more about the sacrifices made over gaining weight. Sacrifices such as never being able to shop in certain stores or wear certain fashions. Giving up quality time with the family by the pool or at the beach because someone is ashamed of their body or watching relationships fall apart because a family member is in a downward spiral over body image, food addictions or weight gain. This is all certainly powerful stuff to consider the next time we reach for that small temporary pleasure nicely packaged up in the form of a cookie or decadent meal.
But the learning does not stop there. . .
I have also learned about the power and beauty of someone taking control of their life. I have seen the smiles of joy and accomplishment when a person exceeds their goals. No piece of cake or fast food meal will ever allow you to do more with your family or be around longer for those you love and our Super Moms are doing just that!
Sundra has now lost over 30 lbs and realized the value of making herself a priority in her busy life. She recently attended her husband, Brad's college reunion and for the first time in years Sundra was able to purchase a spectacular dress for the event. The whole family was amazed at how beautiful and confident she looked! Since she began, Sundra has dropped from 33% body fat to 20.6%. Sundra will be the first to tell you that it has not been easy, but the benefits far outweigh the choices and lifestyle she was living!
Super Mom Shannon continues to amaze with her lifestyle changes and has transformed not only her lifestyle, but herself. Now almost 40 lbs lighter, Shannon has learned more about herself and her choices. She has brought changes into her family's life as well. Both of her sons love soccer and she has enrolled them into a sport specific training program to further their playing enjoyment and success. Since starting the program, Shannon has gone from over 45% body fat to less than 35%. She continues to improve the quality of her life by cooking more meals at home and becoming a source of inspiration for family and friends. Recently Shannon saw how lifestyle choices were affecting the quality of her friends' lives and inspired them each to take control of their lives!
When you fill your life with good food and exercise, some things have to be sacrificed. You might just have to give up watching re-runs of The Office and Seinfeld to find time to cook dinner. You might just have to give up nap time to get your exercise in, but the amazing thing is this: The sacrifices you make are going to have huge returns. Your body, with healthier eating and exercise, will have its own clean-burning energy system. You will be more productive. You will feel better about yourself and you will live longer with less illness. Not a bad exchange, if you ask me.

Beautiful and self-confident businesswoman Rusty Carlson was hurt, terrified and alone with a man she feared. But one thing was certain – she would surely die without his help. Vietnam vet Cooper Landry had a deep-rooted grudge against beautiful women like Rusty. Experience had taught him they were takers. But he'd survived far worse dangers, and this time he'd be damned if he'd let her risk his chance for survival. But there were predators in the dense woods – both animals and human – and the odds were against them. They could handle that. What Rusty and Cooper weren't prepared for was the discovery that they desired more than just survival….
©2007 Sandra Brown (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I love books, it's my great escape.
"Sensuality, believable characters, totally hot!."
Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors and paired with Joyce Bean I felt confident in making this purchase. This is another great love story by Brown and Bean is an excellent narrator. On a steamy scale with one being the least amount of steam and 10 being totally hot. This story gets a ten from me because of its sensuality and believable characters. I don't know how Sandra Brown could make someone hopping around on crunches in the kitchen into a hot scene; well you will just have to hear it for yourself. I am about to do a rewind and listen to this one again.
"Loved it."
I love all of Sandra Brown, and I have listen to most. Joyce Bean is one of my favorites.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"Good for its Time"
This is one of Brown's earlier books. Its a rerelease. For its time it is an ok read. Plot was predictable. I have said before its not the ending so much as it is the journey. If you are a Brown fan, you know how far her writing has come today. This story revolved around an aircraft crash and the two people who survive. Totally predicatable, but a good read nonetheless.
50 something listener loves ending the day lost in a good book.
"Love Story"
Love story with a twist and lots of drama. Weekend read that i enjoyed on the deck
"Another Great Sandra Brown"
I always choose Sandra Brown's audiobooks. Her stories always keep you listening.
Nora Roberts - both enjoyable, easy listening. No brainers!
Narrators are always good. Joyce Bean, especially!
I usually laugh out loud - by myself!
Keep them coming!!
"Enjoyed this book very much"
The number of characters in this book was what made it the most enjoyable for me - the fewer the better and Sandra Brown is always a good read (listen).
"Earlier work but still a good read."
Probably, because I typically miss some of the details on my first read. But I wouldn't read it a third time. This is one of Sandra Brown's early novels, and while entertaining, can't compete with her later ones, like Lethal, my favorite.
I think it was when Cooper came crashing through the cabin door and threw a knife into the mountain man's chest.
I liked the one when Rusty opens the front door of her L.A. home and finds Cooper standing there, as well as the ones that immediately followed.
I have mixed emotions about this book. There were number of times when I thought Cooper was unbearably crude and verbally abusive. At the same time, there were moments when Rusty came across as unbelievabaly naive and not too bright. That was especially true in her failure to detect anything wrong with the two mountain men, and her faulting Cooper for killing them. It was also true in her failure to recognize, or at least admit, that her occasional and inadvertent nudity had any effect on Cooper. One begins to wonder what world she's been living in. Even so, some of their conversations were amusing and sometimes even funny. This was kind of a microcosm of the war between the sexes: a very masculine guy irresistibly attracted to a very feminine woman and the unavoidable conflict that engenders.
"Characters very unlikeable"
Different characters and a different male voice
Not sure
Probably not. I did not enjoy her male voice or female voice for the main characters. I also didn't like the main characters so this might have some influence as well.
Not sure
"Absolutely Awful"
Virtually no plot. I should have realized as it was pulled from the archives. On the verge of being soft porn. I had nothing else to listen to and thought it would get better. It was awful through the end.
"Two Alone - A Fine Read by Sandra Brown"
Fantastic Plot. I did not read the printed version. The audio version was full of suspense and description.
The male lead character.
I have to think on this one, but the book title should be sufficient.
I enjoyed this read very much.

June 27, 2007
St. Joseph, Mo. — A former clerk in the Buchanan County Prosecutor's Office who stole more than $30,000 from the office's bad check fund was sentenced today to seven years in prison on one count of felony stealing in Buchanan County Circuit Court. Holly Keller (DOB - 11/19/75) of St. Joseph pled guilty in an open plea. Judge Daniel Kellogg retained the right to review Keller's sentence after 120 days incarceration.
The office of Attorney General Jay Nixon was appointed special prosecutor in the case after the Buchanan County Prosecuting Attorney cited a conflict of interest.
Nixon filed a charge of felony stealing against Keller on March 6. A probable cause statement filed with the charges said that Keller was employed to collect bad checks in the prosecuting attorney's office. Nixon alleged that between Sept. 24, 2004 and Jan. 29, 2007, Keller stole $30,611.15 from the bad check fund.

Cannot wait for Puella Magi Kazumi Magica~ Thanks again, Yen Press! You're getting very good at licensing manga for the fan-bases!~ Now all I need is Ef and my life will be complete~
Glad to see information about Kazumi Magica's release date. I confess I am also eager to see when Oriko Magica will be released as well.
Yay! Cant wait for are you alice?, btoom, blood lad, kazumi magica and soul eater soul art! Good releases coming up on May 2013! Ty sooo much! I am so happy >u<
Excited to get BTOOOM and Omamori Himari.
If you guys are releasing the 10th volume of OmaHima in May, does that mean you'll be releasing Book of the Gaiden in February? From what I know, you guys release a new volume every three months or so.
Jiro Suzuki! I've really missed her artwork for some time now, and it's nice that she returns in Umineko!
I can't wait for Soul Eater Soul Art.I am such a big fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XDXDXDXD
Since Black God is coming to an end, any chance Yen Press will license Freezing to replace it? It would be great to have it since the anime is already out over here. According to Wiki, Freezing is published by Kill Time Communication in Comic Valkyrie and is already 16 volumes long. Come on, you guys know you want another long running money maker!
Do you know when I can order Soul Eater Soul Art?
@anne Soul Eater Soul Art is actually available for preorder right now at all of the usual suspects (Barnes & Noble, Amazon, et al.)
@tania Thank you!
Do you know when I can order Soul Eater Soul Art in Canada?
Waiting for Madoka!
@ anne
You can order the Soul Eater Soul Art from my favourite site of all time, namely bookdepostitory. The service is great and it's much cheaper (at least for me as an european) than amazon.
Here's the link:
I already set canadian dollars above, so, if you have a credit card or a paypal account you can preorder it just fine.
@anne Most booksellers should be able to order the book for you, brick-and-mortar stores too if you ask a clerk~
@just somebody
Thank you sooooo much!
Can't wait for Are you Alice? !
The Omamori Himari redirects wrongly – there's an extra "r" in the code.
Woo can't wait for Puella, Soul Eater and Umineko! I hope you can lisence Tiara manwha from Kara the art of Angel Diary and Legend
Why use more Kanon and Jessica for the umineko covers? There's more characters than them… Its even a new Episode. Kanon's such a bad character.
@Jellorific Sorry for the confusion, a sales catalog cover was accidentally uploaded. ^^ The covers for Umineko Episode 2 are going to be the 1st and 4th covers. As always, unused cover art and all inserts will also be included.
I'm glad to see The Always Lovely Beatrice on the Umineko Cover! I was a little dissapointed to see Kanon and Jessica again, but this is much better! Thank you!
Thanks for changing Umineko cover
KINGDOM HEARTS! Thanks for listening!
Perfect timing for 1.5 HD RMX, Thanx!
I love omamori himari and finally vol 10 is here! Yay!!!!!
Omamori Himari Volume 10′s cover art still isn't up on the series page. I would like to get a good look at it before I get it in the mail at the end of the month.
@Stephen – Thanks for your comment. The image has been updated!
On that note, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan page is missing its volume 4 cover. (And Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Volume 2 is listed twice on its page.)
Are You Alice? will be arriving in the mail within the next two weeks! Very excited for that. I'm also thankful that YP picked up KH. I've been thinking of trying that one out.
Little side note: I've noticed YP doesn't seem to be using the "series complete" tags anymore. I kind of liked them being there, though it's not really a big deal. I think I'm just obsessed with consistency XD Things like Alice in the Country of Hearts have them, but not Black God or My Fanatic Rabbit. (Madoka Magica, Hero Tales, and 13th Boy are still treated as if ongoing as well.)
@Arc – The Yuki-chan cover and the KH issue have been fixed. We'll look into the Series Complete issue you mentioned. Thanks.

Obligatory Twitter article
Oooh. Twitter. So. Here we are, then. Twitter. Yes. Gosh. Flavour of the month. Everyone's doing it. But is anyone understanding it?
People seem to be using Twitter for all sorts of things. Broadcasting enigmatic philosophies about toasters and weasels, sharing valuable knowledge about their bloody grandmothers, pretending to be boring celebrities, and most importantly of all showing people pictures of themselves stuck in lifts.
What's more, it's possible to post from all sorts of amazing high-tech software and hardware. I personally blog in an immensely Nathanesque manner – iPhones, Firefox add-ons, desktop thingies, the lot. This only serves to make the whole thing really, really bloody addictive. It's like if, say, Facebook were poppers, then Twitter is cocaine. No, that's not clichéd enough. Heroin. Hang on, not there yet… um… fuck… bubble wrap. YEAH, BUBBLE WRAP. That's fucking right.
But, in old-style retro Teasmade fashion (going back to my roots, people), I just don't think it's been taken far enough. The world hasn't got enough Twitter outlets. What's more, there's far more that could be covered, and by far more people So, let's mash all that up.

Romney says comments in video were badly stated but sticks by them
COSTA MESA, California |
COSTA MESA, California (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said on Monday that disparaging remarks he made about supporters of President Barack Obama in a secretly filmed video were not well stated but he did not back away from them.
"It's not elegantly stated. Let me put it that way," Romney said at a hastily arranged news conference in California to respond to his latest stumble on the campaign trail.
In the video Romney was shown telling fundraisers he has no way of attracting support from 47 percent of U.S. voters because they are dependent on government and pay no taxes.
The Obama campaign leaped on the video and declared Romney elitist and out of touch with most Americans, who will vote in a presidential election on November 6.
"I'm sure I could state it more clearly and in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that," Romney said.
However, he did not back away from his comments and said it was a message that he would continue to carry.
"Frankly, my discussion about lowering taxes isn't as attractive to them and therefore I'm not likely to draw them into my campaign as those in the middle," he said.
"This is really more about the political process of winning the election and of course I want to help all Americans have a bright and prosperous future and I'm convinced that the president's approach has not done that and will not do that."

God forbid should Romney win the Presidency. He makes it clear that he has no intention of representing all Americans. Only those who worship at his feet.

Iran takes strike at youth vote
- |
TEHRAN - Iran's decision to block access to Facebook - less than three weeks before nationwide elections - drew sharp criticism yesterday from a reformist opposition hoping to mobilize the youth vote and unseat President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The decision, critics said, forces Iranians to rely on state-run media and other government sources ahead of the June 12 election.
It also appeared to be a direct strike at the youth vote that could pose challenges to Ahmadinejad's reelection bid.
More than half of Iran's population was born after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and young voters make up a huge bloc - which helped former reformist president Mohammad Khatami to back-to-back victories in 1997 and 2001 but failed to rally strongly behind Ahmadinejad's opponent, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, four years ago.
Young voters are now strongly courted by the leading reformist candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi.
"Every single media outlet that is seen as competition for Ahmadinejad is at risk of being closed," said Shahab Tabatabaei, a top aide for Mousavi. "Placing limits on the competition is the top priority of the government."
Tabatabaei said the Facebook block was "a swift reaction" to a major pro-Mousavi rally Saturday in a Tehran sports stadium that included an appearance by Khatami and many young people waving green banners and scarves - the symbolic color of the Mousavi campaign.
Iranian authorities often block specific websites and blogs considered critical of the Islamic regime, but critics of the latest decision said the loss of Facebook means Iranians must rely on the government for information.
"Facebook is one of the only independent sources that the Iranian youth could use to communicate," said Mohammed Ali Abtahi, a former vice president and now adviser to another proreform candidate, Mahdi Karroubi, a former parliament speaker.

"I love pizza. Who doesn't? The idea of this book started to form after I completed a six-month journey into true pizza obsessiveness…
From the beginning, I decided this book was not going to be simply a Zagat-like guide to New York pizzerias… It was going to be two books in one--profiles of at least twenty pizza personalities, then honest reviews of as many pizzerias as I could visit.
You'll learn a lot in this book [like] what kinds of cheese and tomatoes and ovens pizzerias use… If it opens your eyes to the great big pizza world out there, makes you suddenly crave a couple slices, or leads you to embark on your own sleepless search for the city's best pizza, then I did my job."

For awhile there, you thought you were gonna die.
Your head hurt. Your body ached, and your stomach was acting like a fresh-caught fish – but that didn't matter much. Bills still needed paying and business needed attending. There was family to care for, work to do.
Yes, you should've stayed horizontal but you came back from the dead – and so did Easy Rawlins. In the new novel "Little Green" by Walter Mosley, Easy's recent demise never gave him but a moments' rest.
His vision was blurred. His thoughts, more so.

This month, you've decided you need a whole new look.
Your hair and wardrobe are out of date, so you're getting a cut-and-style and a fresh wardrobe, shoes and all. You've got an appointment for a mani-pedi, a dermatologist, dentist, and – no more glasses! - you're getting some of those colored contacts.
But there's one thing you can't alter. And in the newly updated book "The Color Complex" by Kathy Russel-Cole, Midge Wilson, and Ronald E. Hall, you'll see how much it still matters.

Not in a hundred years.
There was just no way. From the minute you saw her, you knew everything you needed to know about that woman. She was a schemer, she was ghetto, she was the worst kind of liar, and a friendship between the two of you was Not. Going. To. Happen. In a hundred years.
Famous last words, huh? Because you got to know her a little and danged if she wasn't okay after all. But can she be trusted? As you'll see in the new novel "Friends & Foes" by ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Victoria Christopher Murray, that's up for discussion.

Throughout your life, you've dodged a lot of bullets.
By accident or design, you were in the wrong place at the wrong time but somehow remained unscathed: the almost-hazard while driving, the near-miss at work, the moment you caught yourself just in time from falling.
Things could've been worse – much worse - but you dodged a bullet. So did it make your heart pound, or did it change your life? For author Sampson Davis, it was the latter because, as you'll see in his new memoir "Living and Dying in Brick City" (with Lisa Frazier Page), the bullets were sometimes real.
Sampson Davis hid his intelligence from his friends.

"Was there a time when civil rights protesters could be attacked by a club-wielding mob while police officers stood by? When the president of the United States had to mobilize 30,000 federal troops to put down an armed insurrection prompted by the enrollment of a single black man at a state university? There was…
Here's a story about the integration and evolution of college basketball, set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, one of the most convulsive periods of our nation's history… My aim here is to persuade you that a pivotal moment in that transition was the improbable championship of the Loyola Ramblers, a black-and-white team that opened a lot of eyes and stirred a lot of hearts."

Your child has caught some bug that's going around.
He has a terminal case of The Gimmes, and he's not getting any better. It's "Gimme that" and "Buy me this" all day long. It's GimmeGimmeGimme, usually accompanied by whining, pleading, and a maddening inability to understand the word "no."
The Gimmes are enough to make any parent crazy. They make you wish there was some sort of doctor who had some sort of shot to prevent it. But there isn't - so why not read "Do I Look Like an ATM?" by Sabrina Lamb instead?

The dirty glasses haven't quite made it to the kitchen yet.

Your mother scared the daylights out of you last week.
She said she was going for a quick walk but when she didn't return three hours later, you went looking for her. You were frantic, she was confused, you were embarrassed. She has early-stage Alzheimer's and you're trying to cope but things are getting worse for her. Things are getting worse for you.

"SBF. Single Black Female. Walk through any major city in the U.S. on a Friday or Saturday night and you will find her. She'll either be alone or with her girlfriends, but almost never, EVER with a mate…
The how and why of relationship status among African-Americans is a touchy subject… The black marriage gap has become such an open secret that it is now a source of endless bad jokes and fodder for prime-time reality shows such as "Basketball Wives" and "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

BILLINGS, Mont. — Fire crews are working to contain a wildfire threatening rural houses northeast of Roundup as they brace for several days of hot and windy weather that could fan the flames on multiple blazes across the state.
Spokesman Pat Mckelvey said Monday that the lightning-caused Delphia fire northeast of Roundup has grown to almost 55 square miles. Mckelvey says about 15 to 20 outbuildings have been destroyed, but no houses.
Claudia Rapkoch with Northwestern Energy says the company hopes to restore power Monday to the last of several hundred customers who lost it after a transmission line burned.
National Weather Service forecasters say hot weather will set in Monday and Tuesday, when dry thunderstorms could spark new fires.
Meanwhile, fires in neighboring Idaho have sent smoke pouring into western Montana.

Recently Dr. Trauth, President of Southwest Texas State University (SWT), sent Dr. Gregory Powell, President of Panola College, a report regarding students who transferred to SWT in the fall of 2001.
Dr. Trauth reported that Panola College transfers, after one year at SWT, earned an average of 28 semester credit hours with a 3.10 GPA. This exceeds the figures for all 2-year college student transfers who earned an average of 20 semester credit hours with a 2.56 GPA.
"The report from SWT is further confirmation of the outstanding education provided at Panola College. The passion we have for educational excellence is evident in the successes of our students," said Dr. Powell.

UNDEAD AND UNPOPULAR moves the vampire queen Betsy Taylor just a little bit further down the line to being married, and to being more like a reigning monarch over her people. This little read is very much a one room drama - the characters hardly leave the house and spend their time bumping into each other in the hallways to throw out some sass and then move on. As will be the wont with vampire novels, there isn't a lot further up in the predatory chain to a competant vampire so therefore there's no threats coming from above. The warring factions approach has been attempted here but it is all so haphazard and casually done that you would feel a greater sense of tension from not remembering where you last saw your bookmark.
This series had an explosive start, and suffers now from the problem of what to do with Betsy. The marriage card can only be dragged out so long, and it's hard to feel much for two people who drink blood from each other anyway. This book is more of a quick character catch-up for the regular readers with a barely-there plot which would do little to draw in a new readership.
