The Psychologist's Menopause Solution: Beat Your Symptoms, Embrace Your Wisdom, Navigate Medical Menopause & Reclaim Your Joy by CE Davidson Cibelli 
Lot of explanations about what's really going on in your body and mind when you hit menopause. Parts I liked the best were sleeping as I still struggle from that. There are so many more steps I can put into place that will aide my sleep. Have tried about 5 of them so far to no avail and there's quite a few more I had not heard of prior to reading this book. There are refereneces at the end.  So many  other categories are listed also to help you get through it.

Book Review: Alaska Deadly by J. L. Askew

  


  
Alaska Deadly by J. L. Askew
What an awesome read. There is something for everyone in this book: so many mysteries, shapeshifters, abductions, child trafficking, cult, and missing people all in the middle of Alaska.
Loved learning more about Alaska, the terrain, climate, scenery that is out of this world and the team effort of helping others who live there. So many twists and turns.
The PI is sent to Alaska to find a missing child. He has some clues but gets help from others in town who might know of the tribe and it's events that take place at midnight...
The father of the child shows up and so do scientists who are there for their own reasons. One is studying wolves and I love learning about that aspect of this book. 
Love how they are able to help a plane land, collect the passengers get on board and take off again while being shot at. What strategy, so crazy it works!
Love hearing about the fire pit and how it has a secret there.
There is so much to this story, easy to keep everybody straight and learning about the people that live there. Grand finale, well one of them is the house with moveable walls.
Can't wait to read from this author. Super descritpvive I felt I was there and could feel what they were feeling, the smells, sounds and the sights.
 

Book Review: Cherish or Perish: Strengthen Your Intellect; Save The World! by Prabha Karan

  


 
Cherish or Perish: Strengthen Your Intellect; Save The World! by Prabha Karan 
Like this deep thinking book that makes a lot of sense to me. It talks about 3 parts of your body that rule your body and how they work together.  Like summary at the end of the chapters to make sure you're on track still. It's a deep read with some light areas that help the book along with real stories.
Like the way you can advance your learning  to strengthen your intellect, many of which I have been doing for years as I'm well over 65 now. Keep track of your progress and see the difference from month  to  month.
 

Book Review: Hack Your Life Teen Money Skills 10 Secrets to Raise Your Financial IQ: Create Smart Money Habits

  

  
Hack Your Life Teen Money Skills 10 Secrets to Raise Your Financial IQ: Create Smart Money Habits Earn Budget Save Invest with Confidence AI Applications to Accelerate Success by Freeman Publishing 
Like that this book starts out with ow many states require an education in financial things before they graduate. Each chapter starts with a secret and then the chapter discusses how to achieve that.
 Love the  examples on how kids can start earing money but doing simple tasks.
There are case studies throughout the book with how others achieved their goals. Never thought about investing when I was younger. I would just set the money aside and not use it til i got enough for the goal i had set.
 When I was growing up we had nothing digital it was all hands on. After mom started her craft business she'd have me make hundreds of Irish Fisherman sweaters and other things others wanted. I'd get paid and not have to worry about all the business paperwork behind the scenes.
 Love breakdown of expenses we had to do one for our financial advisor and it's easy to update every year. Proved we could live within our means even after retiring. We have some no spend months so when we travel we can splurge.
Such easy common sense strategies.

The Memory Lane Quiz Book (Large Print): A Gift Book of British Nostalgia & Trivia: Fun Quizzes, Classic Memories & Thought-Provoking Prompts About Life in 1940s–1980s Britain [Print Replica] 
by PuzzlePlayPress 
What I like about this book is that it's based on BBC trivia and it's so much fun. Categories start with the years and go through music, culture, tv shows and so much more from 1920's to 1980's
Each question has a choice of 4 and you get to pick one. The answers are listed at the back of the book. I can see having a trivia night with friends, this would be the perfect book to use.
After the year categories there are then Music, tv shows, sports, food and shopping,  and royal moments in time. There are sections right after the questions that allow you to write your memories of the time frame.  Very entertaining.
