MOA's How to be a Pirate!
On May 15, 2010, in conjunction with the North Carolina Potato Festival, the Museum of the Albemarle held a 'Pirate Day' where visitors could meet members of Blackbeard's Crew, a Virginia based historic reenactor group, that invaded Museum of the Albemarle for the public to experience a pirate's way of life through a live encampment and demonstrations. This video is just a bit of some of one of the activities going on that day.

Made the Grade: Doctors in Training Series, Book 3
Format: Paperback | Pages: 217 | Release Date: July 2010 | Publisher: Silhouette Books"The Doctor's Undoing" [Doctors in Training Series, Book 3] by Gina Wilkins
My Book Summary : Haley and Ron are friends, medical students in their 3rd year of training, and they are on the same rotation while their other friends from the study group their in are somewhere else. Ron has grown up not knowing if he would be able to amount to much, and because of that anytime something tough happens to him he walks away from it before it gets too hard. Which is also what he applies to every aspect of his life from what he does for a job, how he makes it through medical school, and in his personal life with the woman he dates. Haley is what Ron calls a "cheerleader", as soon as he or anyone around them starts complaining about giving up she is right their to cheer them up and on to the next course of their schooling. Because of their different, point-of-views they have had their share of fights/arguments during their study sessions. However, since the beginning of their 3rd year, they have been on better terms then they usually are.
With all their friends in different rotations, except for each other, they become closer in working together and studying with each other. So much so that they both try fighting their attraction at first because they don't want to ruin their friendship. But after that first kiss, Ron is committed to Haley wanting to see where this will take them. Now he just needs to convince Haley that just because his motto usually is to ‘walk away when things get tough’ doesn't mean he plans to ever walk away from her.
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. This is my first doctor book and as short as the book was I really liked how smoothly it guided it's scenes to fit in more detail then I originally expected. Lets just say I was pleasantly surprised. =0)
My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Almost Famous
Book Teaser(s) :
He was starting to sound annoyed, and she bit back any more expressions of concern that he seemed to be so nonchalant about the possibility that his unpleasant resident would hurt his résumé. Maybe he was right, maybe one ill-tempered resident and one uncaring attending wouldn't cause much trouble for Ron. But that didn't mean he should just give up and say there was nothing he could do about it.
Irked with him for not listening to her, she shrugged. "Fine. It's your career."
"Exactly." ~ within Chapter 7

Idolizing In: A Summer Novel, Book 2
Format: Hardcover | Pages: 276 | Release Date: April 2010 | Publisher: Simon & Schuster"It's Not Summer Without You" [A Summer Novel, Book 2] by Jenny Han
My Book Summary : Belly has always loved summer. She use to wish her days at school pasted by quicker so she could be with her family and their closest friends at Cousins Beach. But this is the first year that she won't be and she's just doesn't know what to do with herself.
The reason for this is because her mother's best friend, Susannah -- who owned the beach house, dead from cancer two months ago, Belly's ex-boyfriend was that Susannah's son, and ever since the funeral she hasn't been able to put the pieces of her broken heart back together. So, when her best friend, Jeremiah -- who is another son of Susannah's, calls to tell her that Conrad (Belly's ex and Jeremiah's brother) has taken off and is asking for her help in finding him, even though she's afraid of confronting Conrad again, she immediately agrees. However, the thing Belly doesn't realize is that Jeremiah has fallen for her too.
They find that Conrad has run off to the beach house and they go after him since he took off the weekend before his summer finals at college, so he needs to return soon. Once there, Jeremiah and Belly find that Conrad had actual reasons for leaving instead of just running away from his responsibilities like they originally thought. In addition, Belly unknowingly finds herself in a love triangle between two brothers, one who would do almost anything to please her and the other who will only show he cares when it suits him best .... what will she do? And when she decides ... how can she choose in a way that won't hurt them all after?
My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!!! I loved this continuation of Belly's story! Especially with getting to read some of Jeremiah's point-of-view! With the way the author left the book I think there will be another one, I hope, and I can't wait to see what that "a couple years later" part was about and who with!! Maybe we'll even get to read a bit from Conrad since he is one very moody character I'm curious as to what he's really thinking about. In truth ... I like both brothers and I can't make up my mind as to which one I want Belly to be with. In some ways I wish she could just have them both ... but I know it's not that kind of story either. LOL. This was a great story about the meaning of friendship, how sometimes that friendship can evolve into something more, what brothers or even best friends will do for one another, losing a person who meant quite a bit to you, and the power of teenage romance -- what's true about it and what we just want to see in rose colored glasses.

"When you swim," he started to say. I thought he wasn't going to continue, but then he said, "You wouldn't notice if the house was on fire. You're so into what you're doing, it's like you're someplace else."
He said it with grudging respect. Like he'd been watching me for a long time, like he'd been watching me for years. Which I guess he had. ~ within Chapter 21

Feasted On: Sign of the Zodiac Series, Book 5
Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 515 KB | Release Date: May 2010 | Publisher: HarperCollins"Cheat The Grave" [Sign of the Zodiac Series, Book 5] by Vicki Pettersson
My Book Summary : Jo is back and kicking ass!! However, things have completely changed in her world again ... she's now mortal. With that knowledge her troop kicked her out and she is no longer an agent of light. She also just went trough loosing her lover to his ex and has a crazy man, named Mackie that wants to kill her with his soul blade, chasing after her. Not to mention that if she makes contact with any of her old collages from the troop or any superhuman being then the leader of the troop of light, who's also her old boss, will have no problem killing her. Along with quite a few more people/beings who would like to kill her too, and one of them just happens to be her birth father.
But in some twisted turns of events she might just come to find she does have some allies she can lean on, that is if she looks in the right places...
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Okay ... yes I skipped over 3 books in this series to read this one and I am happy I did so, especially because it was written in a way that I didn't really need to read the others (unless of course I want to know exactly what happened), since this book could probably stand alone in the way it describes all that has happened to her in recent events. But I liked this book sooo much more then the first one that I can't complain at all ... even about not reading the previous books. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE 6TH BOOK COMES OUT!! And I REALLY hope things will work out between Hunter and Jo!
My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1
Book Teaser(s) :
She smiled back, sweet and with tears moistening her eyes, before turning to Hunter. "You are a part of me now, and I will love you forever."
A relieved smile overtook his face, and faded like a ghost. I whirled on her. "I'm going to kill you!"
Olivia laughed merrily. "I believe I have the advantage here."
"Ugh, God!" I pulled at my hair. "Olivia! What the fuck?"
She laughed some more. "Yep. That's about as T-Rex brain as you can get." ~ within Chapter 5

Made the Grade: Sign of the Zodiac Series, Book 1
Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 375 KB | Release Date: March 2007 | Publisher: HarperCollins"The Scent of Shadows" [Sign of the Zodiac Series, Book 1] by Vicki Pettersson
My Book Summary : Joanna (Jo) grew up in a rich family but when she was sixteen she was raped and her life completely changed. Now it's her 25th birthday and her life is changing again ...
After going out on a date with a man who tries to kill her (and possibly the room-full of people at the restaurant), she meets up with her first love again and sparks fly. But then she finds out that her father, Xavier, isn't her birth father and because of that he cuts her out of her inheritance. Then the big thing is more people are out to kill her just because of who her birth parents truly are and what Jo will be able to do in the future, which means if she doesn't go into hiding (or something) she will definitely die.
However, it seems that the men after her underestimated her ... now that time has past her 25th birthday .... she is introduced to a whole new world without really knowing where she belongs. And what doesn't help is that even those who seem to be helping her, don't trust her....
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Okay this book, I almost gave up on it. I got through the first 5-6 chapters and I was bored. But thankfully I skimmed to the good parts and kept reading since I did finally get hooked. However, you have to admit that the beginning is kinda unreal ... it's like she gets everything and nothing at all, which completely ruined it for me. But anyway ... if your like me then I recommend to keep reading it once you start since it does get better!
Book Teaser(s) :
"We all have our disguises," Warren added helpfully.
"What?" I snapped angrily. "And 'Yoda on crack' was the best you could come up with?"
"I see you did nothing about her temperament," Warren muttered.
"Some things even I can't fix." ~ within Chapter 10
