People like owning a vehicle that reflects their personalities. If someone owns a Jeep, they probably see themselves as independent, resilient, resourceful and proud. They are the kind of people who are ready and willing to venture off the beaten path into new territory.


There is certainly no shame in people seeing themselves this way. Of course, even the most rugged, adventurous individualists need to think ahead and do a little planning. In the case of Jeep ownership, this means getting the vehicle serviced (or doing it themselves) and keeping it maintained. It also means decking it out with the best accessories and upgrades.

Jeep JK LED headlights and light bars are two of the most popular upgrades for Jeeps. It is not too hard to understand why—they enable drivers and passengers to see farther when it gets dark. And when they see farther, they can go farther.

LED headlights have numerous advantages over standard ones:

· They are designed to shine light specifically in one direction. They do not need as many diffusers or reflectors to give people strong, uniform beams of light.

· They do not emit much heat. People might be surprised at how little light CFL and standard incandescent bulbs produce compared to the energy that they require. According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), 80% of the energy that goes into CFLs comes out as heat, not light. Incandescent bulbs are even worse: 90% of their energy gets released as heat. In contrast to these, LED bulbs generate much more light with the same energy (they still get people hot, though, so people should not grab them with their bare hands).

· They are energy-efficient. The DOE reports that LED lights last 25 times longer and use 75% less energy than incandescent lights do.

Some modern LED headlights are so simple to install that almost anyone could do it. Jeep owners can find LED lights designed to withstand shock and vibration—an important thing to consider for off-roading at night. Some headlights have built-in cooling systems to make them last even longer.

Jeep People has some of the best JK LED headlights and Jeep light bars on the market. Its stock of products include TITAN Offroad’s Jeep LED headlights, which have special heatsink design technology and are DOT-approved in all 50 states.

I've read 34 out of 352 pages of On Such A Full Sea

... and it's taken me WAY too many days.

 

The language is beautiful, but I find myself needing to reread almost every sentence because on the first read I'm missing the point, because the sound of the words is so overwhelmingly perfect, I cannot help but letting it wash over me.

 

I need to find something easier to read when I need a break from this one, which I find myself needing every hour or so.  My most recent ebook haul is the above. 

 

I think I'm leaning towards The Girl in the Wall, I've seen some good things about it.  Oh, and my edition of Lengths, has a MUCH more beautiful cover.

Deer in Headlights by Staci Hart is a light, fun, and cute read that has the gods and goddesses of Olympus doing what they do best, pulling the strings of us humans down on Earth. The gods have become bored and decide to have host competitions to gain favours and boasting rights for the millennia. It is Dita's (aka Aphrodite) turn to host her competitions of love and first up is Apollo. They each choose a player and while Dita tries to get them together, Apollo tries to keep them apart.

 

There are some things I really liked about this book: it came with its own playlist (Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, and The Smiths to name a few), the Earth couple of Dean and Lex, all the mythology, and the plot/premise is a lot of fun. There were also some things I did not like. Other than Dean and Lex, I did not care about the other characters at all. They were very superficial and not as developed as I would have liked. Perhaps the development comes though the series since this is just book one. I would definitely read the others to see how it goes. I also felt like some of the sex scenes were added in because this is a romance and not because they actually took the story anywhere. If you are looking for a fun beach read, this is it, but if you are looking for a super interesting and earth-shattering book about life on Olympus, this is not.

What can I say about Deer in Headlights that hasn't already been said? What I ask you?
I can tell you that it was an amazing read, full of steam, drama, and laughs! I can tell you that Staci's writing is great. I can tell you that her characters are likable! Yes I can! Deer in Headlights was a great spin on mythology, that made it fun and modern! I can't wait to move on to Snake in the Grass!

Edith Hamilton’s Greek gods are back, and they’ve brought all their glorious tomfoolery with them. Forget the toga-wearing residents of mount Olympus you think you know, they’ve kept up with the times and are living communally in a Manhattan high-rise. No more antiquated names for them either, now they sport hipster-ish new nicknames like Dita, Heff and Perry. Some things never change though; the Gods still screw with human lives for amusement. Dear in Headlights takes the archetypal girl afraid of love and the bad-boy musician and throws in an interesting dash of ambrosia. To stave off boredom, Aphrodite and Apollo enter in to a competition. Aphrodite has to get Lex and Dean to fall in love while Apollo tries to keep them apart. This book is really two stories in one: the story of the Gods and the story of Lex and Dean with the occasional God-like observation thrown in. What makes a romance novel great is the conflict and tension arising from the relationship of the main characters. When the story depends on two characters falling in love, the reasons given need to be believable. Unfortunately, the falling in love phase of this book was weak. In the real world song lyrics and common interests may draw us to another person, but they don’t equal love (I hope not anyway). Normally, an unbelievable relationship would kill a romance novel for me, but this book offers such a fresh twist on the genre that I almost didn’t notice. With an automaton puppy named Bisoux, vinyl records, rock stars, tons of pop culture references and really old-fashioned vendettas, this book was a witty frolic from the first page to the last.
