It’s a new day in Absaroka County, with the old sheriff still in town but coming from another network.
Television is fickle. The show that is the darling one season gets thrown on the slagheap the next. Even the highly rated are not immune; Murder She Wrote, as many of us remember, was cancelled while still in the top 10. Latest on the chopping block—the A&E mystery/western, Longmire.
“We are people who want to give…people who want to provide Fresno’s homeless with a meal that others would normally experience at their own kitchen tables…” Justin Kamimoto, Founder and Program Director for Fresno’s M.E.A.L.
I’m not sure where to begin with this review of After Ariel–there are so many good things to say.
First, there is a glossary of Australian slang at the front of the book. It was fun reading. However, I didn’t find it necessary in order to understand the outstanding dialogue.
Maxine O'Callaghan's Delilah West books were among the first contemporary mysteries I ever read, so when I heard they were being re-released I was excited and looked forward to being able to read them again.

The Penguins of Madagascar features the penguins from the Madagascar series of movies. This movie starts where the third movie left off with the penguins leaving the circus and going to break into Fort Knox to celebrate the youngest penguin, Private's, birthday. They steal cheese nibbles out of the vending machine which is a discontinued product.
Christmas in Maine could be a life-changing proposition for Maggie Summers. She’s visiting her guy, Will and his aunt. The weather is more than she expected. With only one pair of boots vs. four foot tall snow banks, it’s a challenge to say the least. Winter in New Jersey isn’t like this!
When Fritter came to Dianne to be fostered in May, 2014, he was about seven years old and had been an owner turn-in.
