AWESOME !!!!
 I have been waiting for this book since the last one came out (Which seems like for ever ago, but in reality was only a couple months).
 Thor finally gets the girl, Or in this case a Queen Mother. Instead of the Queen Mother playing matchmaker this time, her kids decide to push her out side of her shell and set up a series of dates; really publicity stunts to gauge the public's response to the Queen Mother moving on and the possibility of new love for her. But the Queen Mother already has someone in mind, if she can get him to go along...
One of my favorite books by Carol Moncado so far, although I think I say that about ever book she writes. I would Highly recommend putting this book on your TBR Pile.

This book was good. If you don't mind a book that's race-filled and less on the romance and more on the action, which with this I didn't.

I had a few issues with it. Samantha was a bit annoying at times and totally oblivious to some things. And how Jonathan talked--which isn't that big a deal, I know, but I'm English and when I ask questions I NEVER end it with "Yes". Does anyone do that?!

Other than that though, I got really into Samantha's journey from winner of everything small circuit, to F1 test driver to F1 racing driver. She deserved it and she earned it. She overcame many issues and grew up a lot.

I've noticed that there's a second book in the series and would like to read that too.

Discworld Industrial Revolution #1
<2021 update>

I hadn't realised that this book had the first appearance(s) of Ponder Stibbons, Arch-Chancellor Mustrum Ridcully alongside that of Gaspode the Wonder Dog! (well, maybe I knew the latter)

<original review>

Book #10 in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, which (for my money) stands alongside Soul Music as one of his best works, perhaps because these are the two books it is easiest to catch the many allusions in!

This is the one where Discworld discovers the magic of the Motion Picture, culminating in a not-quite-right scene of a giant lady carrying a screaming ape up a tall building (Ankh-Morpork's Tower of Art in the Unseen University), and is also, perhaps, the only book where CMOT Dibbler is actually a major character rather than an extra.

Welcome back to the world of the shifters of Kadenburg. This story continues to delight as you revisit old characters and welcome in new ones. The bears of Kadenburg come to realise that their 'little' problem with Breslin is actually larger than at first thought. The twists and turns that will take you through the story keep it fresh and exciting. There is a bit of everything in this book - humour, new romance, old romance, mystery, intrigue, and action. It really does have it all.

If you are a fan of shifter books then I can highly recommend this series. Just one thing though, beware the cliffhanger ending!
