Book Review: The Whispering Trees of Yellowstone by Kerry Anne Boer

  



 

The Whispering Trees of Yellowstone by Kerry Anne Boer  
Story written about Tilda who walks through the trees and hears the whispers.
She knows every turn of the creek and all landmarkings. There is also a lyrical poem before the story starts. Like all the characters she comes upon. So mystical, magical and so very calming and peaceful. Even a bonus chapter is included at the end. First writing was 1957.
This Yellowstone is in Australia, not in the USA..

  

Book Review: Who Banged the Big Bang!: Trans-scientific Mysteries: Decoded, Simplified! by Prabha Karan

  


 
Who Banged the Big Bang!: Trans-scientific Mysteries: Decoded, Simplified! by Prabha Karan 
Author explains all about this theory and about many others that relate to it, your body, mind and consciousness. There is so much to this book about so many other things going on in your mind and he has good explanations for them all. It's not for everybody to read but for those who will explore and not dwell on things too deeply.    A lot of what is discussed was also in a n earlier book by the author.   This book was a bit over my heard, even though I kept looking up words.
 

Book Review: The YOU in ME, Forever...: A Romantic Approach to Your INTELLECT by Prabha Karan

  


 

The YOU in ME, Forever...: A Romantic Approach to Your INTELLECT by Prabha Karan
What I like about this read is that the author describes things in easy terms but at times uses words I've not heard of. They are kind of like Latin words that really mean something in our everyday lives. I like the parts that are broken up into smaller ones so you can take your time to digest it before it's brought back to the big picture. I am familiar with a few of the yoga's and appreciated learning what it all means.  The phrases used in this book I am not familiar with. Was hoping they exploit more of the movements in the various yoga sections. It's really, to me, a state of mind. Think this book was a bit over my head.

Book Review: Free Yourself from Anxious Attachment Your Guide to Secure Attachment: Build Healthy Secure Relationships Choose Confidence, Boundaries and Trust, Overcome Past Trauma and Stop Overthinking by Freeman Publishing

  



 
Free Yourself from Anxious Attachment Your Guide to Secure Attachment: Build Healthy Secure Relationships Choose Confidence, Boundaries and Trust, Overcome Past Trauma and Stop Overthinking by Freeman Publishing 
Like this book and how it's  divided into chapters and subchapters.
It consists of many forms of anxiety. What I really appreciate is that they go into the symptoms of the different types and the solutions to them. Throughout the book there rae pages for a journal and for you to write down your thoughts.
There is also an assessment section with questions to ask yourself and you can get a rating on each of the anxieities to figure out which one you really have. Then there are solutions to the speicifc anxieties.  At the end there are references to the notes during the reading.
Super informative and even has solutions.

Book Review: ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MYTHOLOGY OF THE GREEKS: DISCOVER THE GREEK GODS, HEROES, AND MONSTERS

  


   
ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MYTHOLOGY OF THE GREEKS: DISCOVER THE GREEK GODS, HEROES, AND MONSTERS. VISUALIZE THE MYTHS OF ANCIENT GREECE AND HOW THEY STILL AFFECT LIFE TODAY by LBDEV PUBLISHING ENTERPRISES LLC  
The Ultimate Guide To Mythology of the Greeks
Enjoyed this read, always been fascinated by the Greeks and what they have accomplished over the centuries. Love leaning more about the Gods, heroes and the monsters that are created by some.  I can see the wisdom behind it all, in todays world when it was created back so long ago.  Like how Achilles got his name, the ball of string helped Minotaur, etc.  Each shows how we use teamwork today and just simple aides.
Like how the subchapters are set up. Some people I am not familiar with but they interact with others and those I did remember from my education. References are listed at the very end.
Received this review copy from LBDEV PUBLISHING ENTERPRISES  and this is my honest 
opinion.

May 25 Book Review: Final Exit (Martha's Vineyard Murders Book 4) by Raemi A. Ray

  



 
Final Exit (Martha's Vineyard Murders Book 4) by Raemi A. Ray 
This book is about Kyra and her friend Tarek and how they investigate the town's camp grounds from long ago. A body has been found and they are able to gather a lot of information from the locals, some who were there around the time of the incident. 
Tarek gets called away on another assignment and nobody hears from him so Kyra calls the special number she has and inquires about him...
There are so many twists and turns and things become complicated with Chase and visiting his sister to see if she has any further information for them.
Love hearing about all the adventures and can't wait for more.
So descriptive I found myself walking in their footsteps being just as scared as they when they are able to see whose body it is... Money is involved also and that makes the plot take a different turn. So entertaining.
Received a review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

May 27 Book Review: The Guest Cottage by Lori Foster

  



The Guest Cottage by Lori Foster
Story follows Marlow and she's left the ex husbands family company and now that he's passed away she wants to leave, to find herself and be happy. 
The in laws find her eventually after she's established herself in a town a few hours away, a country town where the community are behind one another.
She rents a lake house from Cort who has his house in the area and another house he rents out. the town has decided no others can move there, population control, til they take another vote...
Marlow is working at the bar/restaurant and loving it, she has the rhythm for it. Cort helps others with handyman tasks and he is an ex marine.
An unrelated woman and baby approach her and she listens to her story... Pixie and Andy and the mother is very ill and others in town help take care of them.
Pixie opens up to Marlow and they come to agreements on certain subjects and she'd be a perfect fit for the store Marlow ha sin mind to run in a nearby town.
Love the relationships, the turmoil and the twists and turns, scary as they are and how they all have solutions for them. Love morning cup with sun in your face at waters edge, nothing like it, so calming and peaceful.
Love how it ends and leaves it open so we can hear more of Pixie's story with updates from Cort and Marlow.  
Love details, descriptions, relationships and atmosphere, and the location.
Cant' wait to read more from this author.
Received this review copy from Kensington Publishing a via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
