Michael Jackson: This Is It
$28.96
Beautiful! Brilliant! Breathtaking!

There are so few words that even come close to describing the man who blessed us all with his amazing spirit and unmistakable, endless talent. 'This Is It' takes you inside the awe-inspiring and magical mind that is Michael Jackson. It feels as though you have been invited, whole heartedly by Michael himself, to listen in on a secret meeting of something great. Even now, I find it hard to express just how this movie makes me feel. I can best liken it to the feeling I got when I was little and saw that Santa had brought me the best gift I had wished so hard for. It's like feeling your heart literally swell up with love and excitement that you are that special to be included.

You quickly learn why Michael Jackson found it difficult to quiet his mind long enough to get some rest. His talent just seems to pour out of every part of him. It's hard to find where Michael Jackson ends and the music begins because they are so clearly one and the same. He is music. He is soul. He is love. And with a broken heart I have to say, Michael Jackson is missed.

Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred
$14.98
One of my employees recommended this DVD to me, it's a great workout in just 20 minutes. Perfect for a quick morning workout! I do wish there were more workouts, would love to see Jillian come out with another version that has maybe 10-20 workouts to choose from, but all still just 20 minutes each. I really like the combination of cardio, strength and core. It's a great workout for beginners and for those already in good shape. I recommended it to my sister, who loves it as well!

Nine Dragons
$27.99
Michael Connelly's books are consistently excellent, and Nine Dragons is clearly the best of them all.

The book is filled with gripping tension because of the multiple events, many of which are quite unusual. Harry Bosch, the brooding and melancholy, but enormously interesting and dedicated detective, needs to solve the murder of a man who once helped him when he was in need. Bosch's partner is a good man and a good cop, but seems to be afraid of working outside on the streets, and this causes problems for Bosch. A Chinese officer is assigned to help him, and the officer senses that Bosch is prejudiced against him.

Bosch's daughter is kidnapped in China. The Triads threaten him. His ex-wife wants to find their daughter, but blames him for the daughter being kidnapped. She threatens that once the daughter is found; she will not allow Bosch to see the daughter again.

Bosch needs to go to Hong Kong, China to find her. Where can he get a gun? How can he find his daughter in such a large city? Can he overcome the tension with his wife during the search? Will it hinder him? Will his ex-wife's beau hinder his efforts? Is this man associated with the Triads?

There seems to be a leak in the case in San Francisco. Someone seems to be telling the triads what Bosch is doing. Bosch makes mistakes and there are unintended consequences.

These are some of the many tensions that Connelly melds together to create this excellent mystery novel.

Who comes to help Bosch may surprise most readers; but surprise or not, it is a delight, for Bosch and for us.
