Graham is minding his own business, preparing for a lengthy evening of algebra homework, when a wicked witch reaches out of his mirror and pulls him into Oz. While most of us would consider any trip to Oz favorable to several hours of homework, Graham wants nothing more than to get away from this witch. Once he makes his escape, Graham travels toward the Emerald City, encountering an alien presence along the way, and taking on a traveling partner named Telly. Telly is a robotic-looking creature with a television set for a head. Among the Ozites that are encountered in this book are the Cowardly Lion, the Woozy, and a beautiful unicorn named Jeanne-Marie, whose story is sure to touch your heart. Dennis Anfuso's arresting cover illustration is a joy to see.

32岁的布里奇特·琼斯（蕾妮·齐维格）是一位单身女子，家住在伦敦西区，一天到晚做着电视公司研究员那份平淡无奇的工作。她没什么野心和抱负，唯一的一点点愿望就是能减轻体重以及寻找到一份真正的爱情，可这些对她来说依然是那么遥不可及——琼斯的感情生活似乎永远是危机四伏，男朋友换了几个，总也找不到跟自己合拍的人。还好有两个死党莎泽（萨丽·菲利普）和嘉德（雪莉·亨德森）陪在琼斯身边，在她需要安慰时及时发表一通虚伪的女权主义演说并免费提供廉价的澳洲葡萄酒，多少让她觉得好过一点；只可惜，有些时候两位好友的帮助反倒使情况变得更糟糕。总而言之，一直以来，琼斯的生活过得枯燥无味、让人垂头丧气。 于是，在新年到来的那一天，琼斯决定尝试一种新的生活，让一切从头开始。首先，她要做的就是开始记日记，把生活的方方面面都记录下来，让自己感到变化的喜悦。渐渐地，琼斯的日记成了一本最刺激、最浪漫、最疯狂的书，里面的内容从平时工作、周围的好友到锻炼、饮食、男人、性……琼斯的生活也随着她的日记翻开了崭新的篇章，所有的东西都在翻天覆地地变化着，她开始意想不到地受到周围人们的注目，其中也包括两个和她发生感情的男人：一个是像小说人物一样完美的丹尼尔·克里弗（休·格兰特）；另一个是一身毛病但很真实的马克·达西（科林·菲尔斯）。这两个人的出现叫琼斯又欣喜又发愁，她思前想后也拿不准自己该挑哪一个。看来，新的生活中依然有不少麻烦陪伴着琼斯，不过她却乐在其中呢。

Psychologist Alex Delaware hasn't been in private practice for a long time, but when the mother of a former patient calls and asks for his help, he can't turn her down. He couldn't help Lauren Teague when she was alive, but something about his failure with the beautiful, sullen teenager who grew up to be a high-priced call girl won't let him walk away after her bullet-ridden body turns up in an L.A. dumpster. When she wasn't turning tricks, she was a straight-A student; despite his detective pal Milo's demurral, Alex is convinced there's a connection between Lauren's death and another beautiful UCLA psych major who disappeared a year earlier. With his customary skill and compassion, Jonathan Kellerman draws us deep into Lauren's complicated life, from a university campus to a Malibu estate owned by a wealthy publisher of soft-core porn (who bears a distinct resemblance to the pajama-clad mogul who made a small white bunny famous). Kellerman's last couple of books have been a bit disappointing, but here the bestselling author is writing up to the high standard he set in his earlier ones. With solid plotting, well-realized characterizations, and a strong narrative drive, Flesh and Blood delivers the real goods on every page.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.     And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.     And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.     And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.     ... ...
