Some Books about Seattle - Happy Seattle Reading!

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation , loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the date of two tribes hangs.

Now Bella has made her decision; a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic..

How to meet and marry a man in Seattle…

There are all the usual ways, of course, but here's how Janine Hartman and Meg Remington did it.

Janine: My grandfather Hartman arranged a husband for me! Zach Thomas, the intended groom, was just as outraged as I was. But Gramps insisted we'd be "a perfect match." First comes marriage, according to him.

Meg: My teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on my behalf—

Wanted: Perfect Partner.

Worse, Steve Conlan, who answered the ad, was perfect, according to her.

Does Grandfather know best? Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? You decide!.

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men. Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical?

But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven't stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy's life. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.

But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help because Georgina's about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny...

"What an incredible debut novel! Succubus Blues is exciting, witty, sexy, intriguing and had me captivated from the first page." --Cheyenne McCray, author of Seduced by Magic.

The Seattle Seahawks were born as an expansion franchise in 1976. Within a decade they were competing for AFC championships with a hard-nosed coach, a future Hall of Fame wide receiver, a cast of some of the wackiest and most colorful players in the league, and the loudest fans in the game. Win or lose, the Seahawks have always been worth paying attention to.

"Then Zorn Said to Largent..." collects many of the best stories and anecdotes in the history of the Seahawks. With a preponderance of the stories covering the Seahawks' two most successful eras--the zesty 1980s and the Mike Holmgren years--this book unearths scores of stirring, hilarious, and poignant stories about the best and worst personalities and moments over the last 30-plus years.

Coauthors Paul Moyer and Dave Wyman--both former players who now cover the Hawks as members of the broadcast team--have been around the Seahawks for almost all of the franchise's existence. They've seen a lot and eagerly share their best stories from their playing days and their involvement with the team since retirement. Many of these stories have never been told before. All of them will bring back strong memories of unforgettable times, leavened with humor and good fun.

The authors have drilled deep to uncover long-forgotten or never-before-told stories about the Seahawks' early days in the league, the magic of the 1980s, the up-and-down-but-never-dull period of the 1990s, and the rebirth under coach Mike Holmgren.

The Seahawks are riding high right now and "Then Zorn Said to Largent..." does a remarkable job of identifying the best stories that have emerged from this always fascinating franchise..
