So, here is my Think Out Loud for this week!
 
 
My very good Goodreads friend and author Marina Latcko, who happens to be Russian, decided to make some videos called Free Russian Talks.  Her desire is to provide free Russian lessons to anyone anywhere.  Because I thought this was so cool and to help get her word out, I decided to post her first two Russian Talk videos...









 
 
 
 
 
About Marina Latcko
I live in St.Petersburg, Russia, and am proud of having seen my great country through so many epochs and changes it has been struggling with.  I am an English teacher, who wants to shapeshift into an author, and I am on my way to getting all necessary skills and experience to reach this goal.  I love to read, watch, see everything which enriches my mind (not through drugs!!!) and gives me knowledge of this amazing world and great people living in it.  I love to find wonders in everything and do my best to pass it on to willing hearts and souls (and ears :))



AURORA: SECRETS BEHIND REALITY is my debut novel, my dear baby. The second edition is waiting for its readers here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CVEBKRU

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
