In Dime Store Magic, the third in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, following Bitten and Stolen, she displays a nice ear for dialogue, an imaginative way of describing the differing characteristics of witches, demons and sorcerers, and skill in piling on the suspense, which adds up to one fun read.

However I needn't have worry, Dime Store Magic is a surprisingly fast paced and well written book, as Paige and Savannah (and eventually Lucas) move from one crisis to the next, even worse, crisis.

 Hernando: Dime store dreams yield lessons for life
And dime stores were where I went to Christmas shop when I was growing up in the Midwest.
As a family with seven kids, we did not have much, so a dime store was just about the only place a kid like me could shop when a place like Sears was considered upscale and a place like Marshall Fields was just someplace you went to look at the window displays around Christmastime.
A final value garnered from those early dime store days was an ability to be a little awestruck by the vast array of consumer goods available to most Americans.

 Dime Store Economics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Though known to countless neighborhood customers simply as "the dime store," our store is part of a national chain and had been selected as the first in the city to be remodeled.
In striving for profit, our store was simply striving to please our customers in some very specific ways- it would not be exaggeration to state that each decision to relocate an item was very much an entrepreneurial decision.
It is ultimately the wishes of the consumer, not the caprice of the corporate executive, which determine how the store should be decorated, what lines of merchandise should be dropped or added, and even whether brown towels should be displayed next to green ones or blue ones.

 Magnolias : Dime Store Dream - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Of all the records that have been recorded at Paisley Park, this one has got to be the most raucous, the most fun, and the most rock & roll.
The Magnolias really hit their stride with Dime Store Dream, perfecting their blend of power pop/punk and straight-up street stories with the keyed-up energy of their spirited performances.
Yes, many bands have come before and many will follow (probably unknowingly) in their footsteps, but the Magnolias played from their hearts, and left an endearing, singular mark in doing so.

 MARX SIX INCH FIGURES
In 1963 Marx launched an inexpensive new line using the latest plastic technology that brought many, many dime store sales- the new six-inch soldiers.
The “six inchers” incorporated much of the molding and style of the very small Marx play set figures and the boxed “Warriors of the World” series, even at times the same figures, but at six inches the new line could display a great deal of detail, at times too much for some buyers.
But at dime store prices as low as 7 cents, the kids of World War II veterans snapped them up, and backyards, sandboxes, and bedroom floors became the battlegrounds of the ages.
