You know how sometimes it's hard to talk to each other? Well, machines find it hard to communicate, too. Recently, the Flipster app started giving us errors due to a problem of their system communicating with our system. To fix this, we're using a different way to log in to the Flipster app so you can keep enjoying those magazines. Here's what that looks like now...

I listened to this audiobook series out of turn and regret it after finishing the explosiveness that was Book 1, Burn for Me. I had complained that Book 2 (White Hot) was a little too action packed. Book 1 would have set up that action nicely. This book reminded me of superhero movies--lots of high powered magic and muscle. And that muscle? Apparently the book designer took that to heart, giving the hero a 6-pack so tight it required extra shading in the tendinous intersection. LOL. Who was the art editor that cried "more shadow!" But back to Book 1. Burn for Me began and ended with well developed characters in addition to all that action. I couldn't wait to revisit Book 2 so I can move on to Book 3 (Wildfire). -Melody
