Product Description From Canada’s new queen of suspense, another hugely entertaining supernatural thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. Prepare to be enchanted . . . Forget the cackling green hag in The Wizard of Oz, forget Samantha from Bewitched. Real witches are nothing, NOTHING like this. For years real witches have hidden their powers, afraid of being persecuted. They have integrated so well into the community, you could have a witch living right next door and never know about it. Take Paige, for instance, whom we first met in Kelley Armstrong’s novel Stolen. Just an ordinary twenty-something who runs her own website design company, worries about her weight and wonders if she’ll ever find a boyfriend. Okay, so she’s leader of the American Coven and guardian of Savannah, the teenage daughter of a black witch. Really, life is ordinary. But then a telekinetic half-demon, Leah O’Donnell, shows up to fight for custody of Savannah. And although Paige is ready for her, she’s not quite so prepared for the team of supernaturals that Leah brings with her, including a powerful sorcerer who claims to be Savannah’s father. When all hell breaks loose -- literally -- and Paige is accused of witchcraft, Satanism and murder, the Coven, fearing exposure, abandons her. Cut off from her friends, Paige is forced against her better judgment to accept the help of a young sorcerer lawyer. And she quickly comes to realize that keeping Savannah could mean losing everything else. Breathtakingly thrilling, hip and funny, this new novel is another page-turning triumph from an author who is going from strength to strength. “I had a feeding frenzy on my front lawn, an unconscious paranormal investigator on my stairs, and, somewhere out there, an entire Cabal special projects team devoted to ruining my life.” -- from Dime Store MagicFrom the Trade Paperback edition.Customer reviews Magical families  by .. drsra (LA, USA)
Book 3 in the Women of the Otherworld series
This book can be read independently of the first 2 books as it stars the witches rather than the werewolves.
Paige is the star character and the book explores her use of magic in our world and her struggles to raise Savannah, a teenage girl featured in Book 2.
I was very nervous of this book after being so keen and excited by the first two books starring Elena and Clay. However I was delighted to find it written so well with fascinating characters and situations.
Kelley Armstong has written a series here that features independent books, each can be read completely independently but fans can get more out of the series if they read them in order. Every time a new Kelley Armstrong comes out, I am distressed that it does not feature the characters from the previous book but I am always overwhelmed by how amazing her new characters are. A fantastic writer - please keep writing!
Magically, the best so far.... by .. S. McCullough (Indianapolis, IN)
"Dime Store Magic" is the third in Kelley Armstrong's Woman of the Otherworld series. The first two volumes focased on Werewolf Elena, and the two main characters in this story were introduced to readers in Elena's story "Stolen". In "Stolen" someone was kidnapping various supernatural beings for nafarious studying. Paige Winterbourne, a witch, met Savannah Levine, another kidnapping victim. Savannah is a powerful black magic witch who is only thirteen years old. Her mother is killed and Savannah is left orphaned, with powers she doesn't know how to control. Paige takes over guardianship of Savannah, when the group escapes. "Dime Store Magic" takes place around a year after the conclusion of "Stolen". Paige is the leader (in name) of the Coven of Witches but because she believes in stronger spells than they approve of, and because she is mentoring a 'black' magic witch, there are some riffs between her and the other members of the Coven. Now a half demon Leah has found Savannah's father and is threatening to have custody taken away from Paige. Savannah's father is a powerful man and heavilty relies on black magic. Savannah meets up with Lucas Cortez, a powerful man in his own right, who also happens to be a sorcerer and a lawyer. In the course of this "custody" battle, Paige is accused of several increasingly horrible crimes, including murder. I find myself wanting to give away more details of this fabulous tale, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
I found Paige to be more likeable than Elena as a main character. I enjoyed reading about her spells and her interactions with Savannah. I also found their relationship completely realistic and beautifully written. Savannah is a typical hormone driven teenager, who just happens to be able to cause extreme chaos when she has her mood swings. Lucas Cortez is charming, funny, and earnest. I would love to learn more about him and his past, as well. The action in "Dime Store Magic" is relentless. These characters hop from one situation to another, almost without pause. (The scene in the funeral home was one of my all time favorites..its creepy and exciting at the same time). A lot of action stories lack good character development but Ms. Armstrong does a supurb job of fleshing out both of those. I feel like this is probably only the tip of the iceburg as far as where the future of Paige and company can go. Kelley Armstrong is smarter than a lot of series authors in my opinion. While some of my favorite series are starting to get stale, she had the smarts to alternate main characters with different powers. This is a great way to stay fresh in today's increasingly peramormal fiction marketplace. This is a must read.
Dime store magic review by .. J. McGillis (Alma, MI United States)
i thought the story was fast paced and a good read. not exactly a page turner through the whole thing but in some chapters it was. i enjoyed this book and i am in the process of buying the rest of the series.
I did not like Paige Winterbourne  by .. platypuslord (Mountain View, CA USA)
Paige Winterbourne stumbles her way through this book, assailed on all sides by people who hate her for no good reason. (Most of them, the reader suspects, hate her because she's rude to them. Paige claims repeatedly that she wants to help people, but she Does Have Her Pride, and she Does Not Hesitate To Tell People Off.) The sole exception is Lucas, who remains polite and helpful despite Paige's insults and abuse, until about two-thirds of the way through the book, when she relents and they have sex.
Is this how a heroine is supposed to see the world?
Web designer by day, witch by night by .. Sylver (Des Moines, Iowa / Frydek-Mistek, Czech Republic)
In the third book of The Women of the Otherworld series, "Dime Store Magic," Paige Winterbourne, witch/website designer is faced with a child custody battle that leads to mayhem and murder. Helped along the way by sorcerer, Lucas Cortez, Paige must protect her young charge while trying to discover the secret of the lost witch magic.
I really enjoyed this book. Paige is a likeable character, and seeing a young woman trying to suddenly deal with the problems of parenting a teenage girl in addition to all the supernatural baddies to be dealt with made this book an entertaining read. Not to mention the dash of romance Armstrong added, which is always nice. I've read it maybe four times already and still love it.

Product Description In Dime-Store Alchemy Charles Simic, one of contemporary America’s most idiosyncratic, engaging, and skillful poets, reflects on the art of the homegrown American surrealist Joseph Cornell. In a work that is in various degrees biography, criticism, and sheer poetry, Simic tells of Cornell’s life in Utopia Parkway, Queens and of how he loved to wander the streets of New York hunting for overlooked and unexpected odds and ends. He illuminates the hermetic mysteries of Cornell’s beautiful boxes, now in major museums throughout the world—works in which private obsessions were alchemically transformed into enduring works of art. Simic also sees Cornell’s work as exemplifying a distinctively American aesthetic, freed of slavish dependency on tradition, open to the world, improvisatory, at once homemade and universal, modest and teasing and profound. Full of unexpected riches, Dime-Store Alchemy is both an entrancing meditation on the nature of art and a perfect introduction to a major American artist by one of his peers, a book that can be perused at length or dipped into at leisure again and again. Customer reviews If you loved the Cornell show at the Peaboday- Essex by .. Martha R. Manno (Seekonk, MA)
Then you will love this book of short essays and responses to Joseph Cornell's work by our Poet Laureate. It's amll and without a dustjacket, quite elegant and easy to take with you to read when you find yourself with a few spare minutes.
Dime Store Alchemy: The Art of Joseph Cornell by .. Shirley C. Wilson (Seattle. WA)
This elegant book reminded me of "Einstien's Dreams." The book is about the genius of imagination. Cornell's provincial life gave him the opportunity to observe his world closely and let it expand into his art. The writing by the poet Simic is a piece of art in itself.
Delicious!! by .. patrick Thompson (Oil City, PA USA)
Reading Dime-Store Alchemy is a fine way to get to know Joseph Cornell's work (and of course Charles Simic's). Simic uses a writing style which pieces together different elements of Cornell's favorite authors and poets, beautifully reflecting the montage operation created by Cornell himself. As Simic ambiguously reveals aspects of Cornell's life in New York City, the reader finds him/herself on the same search for an understanding of beauty that the artist spent his entire life investigating. Don't miss it!

Customer reviews Beware!! Judge a Book by its Cover!  by .. Regina (MA)
I just received my book, and it's the exact same book I already own! However, here on Amazon, it is shown with an entirely different cover--all pink. The exact same book has a brownish cover with glass jars for a bathroom. It's a good book, don't get me wrong! I just never would have ordered TWO of the same! Seems like false advertising to me. And, it's not worth paying for shipping to send it back. Oh, well...

Dime Store Decorating by .. Shelby Anderson (Jacksonville, Florida)
This is a book that you check out from the library, not one that you purchase. Everything seemed skimpy to me, from the pictures to the text. Also, beware of another of the author's books, Fabulous Flea Market Finds. The cover is different and it has a different title, but from cover-to-cover it is the exact same book! I had no idea that you could just change the title of a book and sell it.
dime store decorating using flea market finds with style by .. KiKi Z (IN, USA)
I loved this book! As an accessory designer I thought I had seen just about everything for flea market decorating, but Jill Grover proves me wrong. She has a wonderful, fearless, and imaginative decorating sense which is what decorating is all about. Anyone can this! A++

Customer reviews An artifice of requisite variety by .. Adam M ()
Don Byrd's poem is a rally cry for a new poetry, one that refigures our place in human history, and one that disrupts the unifying - totalizing - hierarchical demands of the powers that be. As an extension of the work of Charles Olson, The Great Dimestore Centennial shuffles a mosaic of information, some seemingly unrelated, together in order to build a method of "uncovering honey/ where maggots are."
Byrd pushes the use of computers and the internet as a way of "singing a millenial song" so that the general population can unplug themselves from the opressive formal system and plug into a realm of creative thought. A poetic realm of making, not mimicking.

Customer reviews hopes for a second book by .. jerseygirl@skyweb.net (Ridgewood, NJ)
i own a copy of this book, and i had the pleasure of spending a week at a workshop taught by dr. townsend. this book never leaves my bag. my highest praise for a spectacular collection of poems and its lovely author.
Outstanding first-book of poetry. by .. ()
Dime Store Erotics is a splendid book of poetry, by a real up-and-comer! It is lyrically rich but also riveting--familial, sexual, natural. The poems range from the experiences of motherhood to buying dime novels in a busstop store, from gardening to drunken revelries. In addition to the strong narratives, the poems are themselves extremely well-made, tight, formally coherent but flexible. Ann Townsend surely knows how to write!
