Oct 14 Christmas with the Cowgirl by Justine Davis

  

  
Christmas with the Cowgirl by Justine Davis
This sstory starts out with Miles and he's heading back to Last Stand, TX. Jacksons son is having a birthday party and Riley is the woman who brings him a pony. At first sight he saw her and fell in love with her.  He gets to know her a bit and sees sketches of work a relative had done, hanging in her bedroom. He heads back to CA and feels out of sorts. He has a picture from the same relative with a letter.
Story also follows Riley and how her day goes as she helps births animals, mucks down the stalls, takes car eof her invalid dad and the others in the family who are dealing with a loved on in the hospital. She lets things go as they fall. 
He heads back to TX and shows the relatives the letter and they cherish it as it was from their son.
 They do spend time with each other, adult situations.
Like the scenes they are together but more inspired by the ones with Jackson's son and he's just such a great kid. Miles asks her for money for a business they can run together and she takes things the wrong way and breaks it off with him. He talks to others and figures out what he had done wrong.. He heads back to TX for Christmas and searches for her and they do get to talk. You wonder if she will ever forgive him...
Great read, especially for Christmas. the town lights up the skies.
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing via BookSprout and this is my honest opinion.

book Review: Mastering ChatGPT: A Complete Guide from Novice to Expert in AI Conversations by Fredrick DePonder

  

 
Mastering ChatGPT: A Complete Guide from Novice to Expert in AI Conversations by Fredrick DePonder 
Like this book because it teaches you ChapGPT actually gives you choices to make. Especially helpful to me being visually impaired.
Specializing in making lists for you with things you are not allergic to, after you tell it which items those are. It knows what's in products. References are listed after each chapter so you just learn about those, all in one place rather than at the end where everything is included. Love discussions on medical preventative patterns, screenings outcome. Like data privacy settings and how ot utilize them. 
Great book to keep handy.

Book Review; The Swan Lake Murders by Susan Rowland

  


  
  The Swan Lake Murders: A Mary Wandwalker Mystery (Mary Wandwalker Mysteries Book 4) by Susan Rowland
Enjoyed this book because it so different from the other mystery books I have read. Mixture of magic, murder and especially like Mary's techniques and strategy to find out who did the killing. Like how the ballet is presented, learned so much about the performance and production and what is needed to get it to be big hit. Love how Mary just digests everything she hears to plug it in later with her notes from others responses. Other mysteries arise...
Love at the start the listing of who is who. Easy to keep track of them all for me.

Oct 10 Destination Christmas by Candice Y. Johnson

  

 
Destination Christmas by Candice Y. Johnson
This story is about Sutton and Drew. She is an author and just wants to get away from her life, heads to snowy VT which she hates winter weather. While signing books there Drew approaches her and reads her the riot act about girls his daughters age.
After talking to her mother in MD she is able to relax. After her parents and family show up all chaos. Love the winter events and festivities around the holiday.
Love how so many were broken but were able to talk about things in the past and make amends. Oaklyn has really enjoyed Sutton and  it's hard for the little girl to leave to go back home.... Love that the book continues on after they all leave the Christmas town to get back to their real lives. Love all the different generations going through the problems that arise and how they deal with them.

Restore Your Gut Health with Kimchi: Fermented Foods and Probiotics for Women Over 40 to Improve Digestion, Boost Immunity, Balance Weight, Detox Naturally, and Reveal Clear Skin in 28 Days by J. Lee Ander
This book starts out  with introduction all about the methods of reducing bloat and other stomach ailments. It discusses in detail the symptoms and then the remedy. Love learning of the Korean method and their culture and how to make the concoction that will cure your ailments. Love the history of the mixture, the time spent with others actually hand making it and how to preserve it for future additives to meals.
There are also recipes and the explanation of what to do if its not the right flavor or texture. So many helpful tips and tricks along the way.  Learned so much about the gut to brain connection. 28 day meal plans are included.
Great book.
