I read this book on Safar Books Online using an iPad and the Safari Books Online App. This is the 4th Scott Kelby Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Photographers book I have read, and they all have been worth the time. These books have been where I have gotten most of my personal photography workflow from and why I made the switch from doing all of my post-production in Photoshop to doing it all in Lightroom. In fact I only open up Photoshop to do quick panoramas (I have other software I use for large intricate panos) and for extensive retouching or composites. ...

Soft Target by Stephen HunterI bought this audiobook on sale from Audible and listened to it using the Audible app on my iPhone. I absolutely love Stephen Hunter’s Bob Lee Swagger series of books, but after so many books they got very stale to me. It started feeling like Mr. Hunter was not trying very hard to come up with something new, so I have not read any Stephen Hunter books in a long time. When I saw this audiobook on sale at Audible I decided to give it a try. ...

I bought this book from Safari Books Online and read it using the Kindle app on my iPad. I really like Zack Arias as a photographer and a person. He is very open about what he does, why he does it, his triumphs, and his troubles. Photography Q&A is full of questions that amateur and professional photographers have asked Zack with his honest and heartfelt answers. So much good information here, it is an amazing amount of information. ...

I bought this book on audible and listened to it on my iPhone using the Audible app while traveling from Atlanta to Portland. I have been working on loosing weight and getting in better shape over the last year. So far I have lost around 30 pounds, I am very happy about that. As a part of getting in shape I have been doing some running, mostly the run/walk/run thing, but for now I only average a 15-minute mile, a bit slower in the summer heat. So this is where my interest in running has come from. ...

I bought this hardcover book from Amazon. I really enjoy these cheesy Doctor Who novels, they are great fast reads that deepen the mythology and add a lot of depth to the characters. This story is about the Eleventh Doctor, as played by Matt Smith and Amy Pond romping around New York saving the earth from an invading army of doll-sized aliens. Good stuff. ...

I bought this book from Audible and listened to it using the Audible app on my iPhone. This is the 4th book in the Retrieval Artist series. Jay Snyder turns in another great performance; to bad the story is not up to snuff. This story took the politics to far, I seriously lost interest in this story many times. I feel like there is very little action and entirely to much explanation and whining. This is not why I have been reading these books. ...

I bought this book from Audible and listened to it using the Audible app on my iPhone. This is book 3 in the Retrieval Artist series. I really liked this one. So far it is the best book in the series. The tension between Noelle and Flint continues to grow as they try to sort out how they feel about each other. ...

I bought this audiobook from Audible and listened to it using the Audible app on my iPhone. This is the second book in the Retrieval Artist series of books and is a great continuation of the storyline. In this book Flint and Noelle are no longer working together and Flint is learning that he really can’t trust anyone, which is very hard for him as he really wants to trust Noelle with everything he knows, but telling her to much will endanger his clients and their families. ...

I bought this audiobook from Audible and listened to it using the Audible app on my iPhone. I chose this book based upon the reviews at Audible and they were right, it is a very good listen. Jay Snyder turns in a very good performance bringing the characters to life and giving each one a uniqueness that makes them come alive. ...

I bought this used hardcover book from The Book Nook II in Marietta. After reading “A Dirty Job” also be Christopher Moore I was determined to read more of his stories, so I bought 2 of them as used hardcovers. The Stupidest Angel was a very quick read, it only took me two nights of reading to finish it and I enjoyed every minute. It is a fun romp through a small town where everyone is in everyone’s business. ...
