Outliers: The Story of Success
Price: $3.99
In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell seeks to disabuse us of the notion that genius and greatness are predominantly a function of innate ability and IQ. He rightly notes that while IQ is certainly a contributor, it reaches a “point of diminishing returns” after a while: once people score about 130, IQ becomes less important and “intangibles” (my term) become more important.
In The Tipping Point Gladwell changed the way we understand the world. In Blink he changed the way we think about thinking. In OUTLIERS he transforms the way we understand success.

The Unrelenting Tide (Islands of Intrigue: San Juans – Christian Romantic Suspense)
Price: $2.99
If you’re in the mood for a little romance, funny things kids say and do, mystery, and adrenalin rushes, this is the story for you. Lynnette Bonner provides for all these needs in her latest release, The Unrelenting Tide. I loved the main characters, Carcen, Devynne, and Marissa. The story kept my attention without any problem. It was fast paced and kept me trying to figure out who the bad guy was, or if there might even be a couple working together. Just when I thought I knew who it was someone else did something to cast suspicion on themselves. In the end, I was not disappointed. There was plenty of humor in the story too. Little Marissa was quite the character. But I loved Carcen and Devynne’s sense of humor too. Lots of laughs.
Widowed former Hollywood actress Devynne Lang has been living a quiet life in the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest. For years, she’s hoped her fabricated death would keep her identity safe from the public, and more to the point, from the stalker who forced her into hiding. But strange things have been happening around her place and this time, with a daughter to protect, she can’t afford one mistake – even if it means letting Carcen Lang get close enough to help.
Carcen would do anything to protect his brother’s widow and her daughter. So when he discovers Devynne may be in danger, he vows to find the man responsible. But dead lead after dead lead frustrates and baffles. Until the unthinkable happens and he realizes the danger has been closer than either of them could have imagined.
…because lies always have a way of coming back to bite you.
