REVIEW OF THE BENJAMIN CHRONICLES: RELATIVITY BY MATTHEW DICONTI
I want to welcome Matthew DiConti to Books R Us. Matthew is the author of his debut novel The Benjamin Chronicles: Relativity
published by Create Space. He is touring the Blogosphere with Orangeberry Book Tours. Thanks for stopping by.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Conal Benjamin never let the love of his life Abigail Bradley know of his romantic feelings for her. Years of living with that regret haunted Conals life and left him with an emptiness in his heart. In one serendipitous moment they are reunited at an alumni science exhibit giving Conal a second chance but in a cruel twist of fate Conal's triggers an unexpected chain of events sending Abby and himself through a wormhole to 1888 Whitechapel, London, the time and place of one of the most horrifying serial killers in history, Jack the Ripper. With the time machine lost and Conal and Abby separated, the fate of both of their lives hang in the balance. Nothing is what it appears to be and it’s up to Conal to unravel the mysteries that await him, before it’s too late.
MY THOUGHTS:
I have always been a fan of time travel and Relativity brought us to 1888 where Jack the Ripper lived. I was hooked by the first page and found myself surrounded by a bit of romance, suspense, drama, science fiction and great characters. Matthew has written a fantastic debut novel and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. So if you want a great book to read by the pool or beach than this is the book for you.

REVIEW OF PUREX CRYSTALS DRYER SHEETS.(CONTEST-USA ONLY)
Thanks to Purex, I had the opportunity to try their Crystals Dryer Sheets in Lavender Blossom Scent.
They provide 30 days of long lasting Crystals freshness!
Who knew that one little sheet could do so much? Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets don’t just reduce static cling and leave your family’s laundry soft and smelling fresh: They can also keep your whole house smelling fresh for weeks not days!
Choose your favorite Purex Crystals fragrance and tuck a sheet in hampers, in the linen closets, and any other laundry storage areas. They are available in two great scents-Fresh Spring Waters and Lavender Blossoms.
My Thoughts.
I have two cats and the dryer sheets reduce static cling and help repel pet hair and lint. I have tried many different dryer sheets and the fragrance was overwhelming. That was not the case with Purex fabric softener dryer sheets. I have used them in my dresser drawers and my gym bag. They both smelled good. My laundry was soft, smelled wonderful and the towels were absorbent. You can purchase them in Walmart and are available in 80 and 120 count.

REVIEW OF SEEING GREEN BY ANNABEL HERTZ (CONTEST-USA ONLY)
I want to welcome Annabel Hertz to Books R Us. Annabel is the author of Seeing Green
and is touring the blogosphere with JKS Communications. Thanks for stopping by.About the Book:
With clever social commentary and her own experience in the political realm, author Annabel Hertz will get readers “Seeing Green” in no time.
Her new book “Seeing Green” (April 15, 2014) steps into the world of cutthroat politics and environmental policy as seen through the eyes of a young multicultural woman whose personal life seems to parallel her professional life as an activist on the front lines of Washington D.C. in the ’90s. Never afraid to articulate her personal convictions, Hertz’s modern day heroine is strong and profound, yet humorous and relatable.
“Seeing Green” is Hertz’s first endeavor in historical fiction, reviewed on The Huffington Post as “timely, energetic and witty.”
Much like the protagonist she introduces in “Seeing Green,” Hertz has delved into the world of politics with organizations involved in international relations and sustainable development. More recently, she served as a policy consultant, adjunct professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations and Global Governance Fellow at the World Economic Forum.
About the Author:
“Seeing Green” is Hertz’s debut novel. She holds master’s degrees from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and San Francisco State University, as well as a bachelor’s degree from the University of California where she studied politics. Hertz is currently pursuing a doctorate in international relations at American University in Washington D.C.
Connect with the Author:
I really enjoyed Annabel's first book. It was very informative, and enlightened me on the inner workings of NGOS in Washington DC. I found the novel humorous,and entertaining. It was well written and was easy to read. I finished the book rather quickly and I connected with the main character Arcani. She had a personality that was strong willed and she maintained her principles even after some hardships. I recommend the to anyone who wants to learn a little bit about politics and how it can affect everything.
