The Drug Market: From Amphetamines to Prescription Drugs

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973570629/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Ir-nAbS432JAX

This is a good book to have around the house to learn about what medicines the doctor prescribes you. Especially if you have a family and want to learn about the medicines they bring home from the doctor. You might not have been there during the doctor visit.

This book also teaches of drug addiction dangers of some medications. That there may be another form of treatment than taking the medications that are easiest to get addicted to.

I enjoyed this book. It is easy to read, follow and understand. I recommend this book to everyone. It is better to be safe and learn about the medicines you are to take than be sorry.

All This and Heaven Too

All This and Heaven Too: Tough Jewel Exceptionally Beautiful Better Lifestyle
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784NKK7F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dAVnAb4T4T534

Someone once said, “The beauty of life does not really depend on how happy you are but on how happy others can be because of you”. I think life should be about touching the lives of people around us just as the author has done reassuring us of a better tomorrow. Accepting people for who they are, going out of our way to help others and loving with all that we have.

At times, all it takes is one simple gesture, and we can put a smile on someone’s face and make him or her feel less alone. That is what we should live for making positive impact, because when we are gone from this world, we cannot take anything with us. All that is left are the people whose lives you have touched and the difference you have made while you are here as shown by the book. So make this life count while you are still alive.

This book shows how deep the author’s love for God is. I have learned a lot from it and I would recommend it to anyone desiring to experience a transformation.

Mindipulation

Mindipulation

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y65R9X9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_UoPnAbV8H1XYC

This book aims to teach you ways to be happier in your everyday life and enjoy it more. Its about personal growth and positive mind shifting. This book says to slow down and relax. To create peace; think less, observe more and talk less, listen more. The power of silence. Lead by example, not words. A lot of problems are caused by language misunderstandings. That can cause hurt feelings, confusion and arguments.

There is a lot to learn in this book. It says to take care of your emotions and reactions to things. The aftermath can last for days and affect your appetite and digestive system as well as your ability to relax and sleep well, concentration and memory decreases, and many other things. This book also says to take care of your body, it affects your mind and happiness.

Help yourself get well. This is positive mind control- controlling your own mind rather than letting the environment, people and other things control it for you. Look for positives in negative situations. The more control you have over yourself; thoughts, words and actions, the more powerful you become.

There is a lot more useful information in this book. I really enjoyed it. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. I recommend it to everyone that is trying to increase happiness in their lives everyday.

The Golden Prayer

The Golden Prayer: A Path To Salvation
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1977695906/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9ONnAb080RT72

This book is about knowing and loving God. Its more of a Jewish perspective. It tells you what the Golden Prayer is and about finding light in dark time. It teaches how to connect with God and find a path to salvation. It also teaches learning how to forgive and let go to create happiness in your self. It teaches many other things also.

After reading this I can say this Author knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend this book to better your own happiness.

Note: Some of the ideas like fate and determinism may rub some people the wrong way. The Author says to stay with him until the end for full understanding. I did and it was worth it.

Implicit: Soul Invictis Book 1 & All These Things: Maya Invictus Book 2

Implicit: Soul Invictus (The Spirit Invictus Series Book 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076KDPMLZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pc.mAbCNKW3EY

This book is like ground hog day movie. If you don’t know what that is, the main character has a chance to redo his day for many days until he gets the day right. In this book, Maya gets to repeat the past and future until she learns the lesson given and gets the day right.

The book has a shocking beginning. Maya was a teacher at a law school until a student who was too lazy to study lied on her and got her fired. Maya contacts her college friend Larry to help her with the case of the school incident. 

Larry is to meet Maya in a library. When shooters come in. Maya recognizes one of the shooters. He said he should have killed her last time. They kill a few people then kill a child, Larry, and Maya. With her last breath, she says I will avenge them!

Mayas soul then reincarnates over and over again in this book. You must read it to find out if Maya is able to avenge them. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. It is a very interesting read. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

All These Things: Maya Invictus (The Spirit Invictus Series Book 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077L1W4WZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_X--mAbSJVJV2K

This book stirs up so many emotions right from the start. When I read the words Dad has a car wreck, the child was in car seat properly, and Dad is being charged with murder, so many questions came to mind.

I first hoped Dad wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol and I hoped they would find him not guilty. Loosing his child was enough punishment. Then I thought well if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol then I hope he is found guilty.

The book begins as a lawyer Maya sees the news during Happy Hour at a bar one day after work about the crash with the father and daughter. A couple days later, her boss hands her the case files and she is to be the fathers lawyer. When the case files finally came in from the DA's office, she realized why they might have considered it murder and she started the investigation.

But you must read this book to find out if he was really guilty or not and if the judge said if he was guilty or not. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. I recommend it to people who love books about law and crime and TV shows like CSI and NCIS.

The Withering

The Withering
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010TYZNW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wK8mAb7VQQ1XH

This book was very different from what I thought it would be. It is like a creepy ghost story. It is very interesting and I loved it. It starts out as Victoria, an educated British woman, boards an old steam ship to Europe. She is going to be a Nursing Officer and assist the surgeons.

Right away, she feels too intelligent for the people on the ship. She ends up insulting the people on the ship directly and indirectly. One woman puts Victoria in her place at dinner after growing tired of Victoria boasting all through dinner. All the men laugh and that embarrassed Victoria. She goes to sleep angry that night.

The next morning she woke on the floor as a large steam cargo ship crashed into theirs. She opened her cabin door to be greeted by smoke, fire and rising water. The ship is sinking. An explosion throws Victoria into the water. She manages to climb on a floating box and fall asleep.

The next morning she wakes up on an island. It has ancient ruins, statues, and a building. She finds a crazy lady on the beach she is terrified of and runs from. There is a cloaked women in the building but has no interest in harming Victoria.

This book is creepy and you must read it to find out what happens to Victoria. I love books by this Author which is why I said it was different than I thought. I buy his books knowing they will be a good read and they always are. I’ve read many of his books now and none are money wasted. I highly recommend this Author and his books.

Joy.ology: The Chemistry of Happiness

Joy.ology: The Chemistry of Happiness
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973365340/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IYfmAb6DSTJ7E


This book teaches about happiness, what actually makes you happy. There are 4 chemicals in your brain to thank for happiness: Dopamine, Serotonin, Endorphins, and Oxytocin.  I agree with this book in money doesn’t make you happy.

I have seen this where I work. Bottom employees aren’t happy about their rate of pay. Mid managers are too tired from working the extra hours. My store manager is always tired from working all the extra hours and listening to employee and customer complaints all day.

Happiness and unhappiness are chemically created in your brain. The 4 chemicals help make you happy. How you negatively react to a situation, stress releases too much cortisol chemical in your brain and can cause unhappiness.

I agree with the information in this book. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. I highly recommend this book to everyone to help increase the amount of happiness in their own life.

Maya is an Indian working woman who migrated to America fifteen years ago. She spends her days balancing a rewarding career with household chores, and lives with her husband Raj and her thirteen-year-old daughter Ruhani in Detroit.

As she nears her fortieth birthday, Maya starts re-evaluating the choices she had made—or hadn’t made—and wonders if she has fulfilled her purpose in life. The dust on her suppressed dreams may have settled long ago, but the quest to find them again stirs her future.

When her university reunion comes up, she has a chance to revisit her hometown, family, and old friends. In Mumbai, she meets her old college friend, Amit and gets a feeling of déjà vu. She recollects her childhood memory of Madhumita, a beautiful singer who had disappeared mysteriously. She finds herself drawn to Madhumita’s story, and in the process, she digs up secrets about herself, her close friends and even her family. She revokes all her past passions and touches upon the so-called life repressed memories, only to discover that there are more unfulfilled dreams in her life.

In this emotionally charged account of Maya’s self-journey, we find ourselves asking the same question she’s been asking,” If I get to choose my life again, will I do it differently?” Sometimes the answer your heart returns and that of your mind will bring to a crossroads in life, all roads may not be created equal but only you can find your purpose in this lifetime – and maybe if you are lucky, the next!

The Amaranth Chronicles

The Amaranth Chronicles: Deviant Rising
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077B1G4YH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4yZiAb14YEF9H


This book has several story lines. At over 400 pages its like you are getting several books for the price of one. This Sci-fi book is set in the future. It gives you images of what our future could be like with space ships and flying cars.

One story line follows a girl named Lithia who used to live in a habitat dome on Venus. Her and her brother now live on Earth in San Francisco with their Aunt and Uncle. It was court ordered and Aunt Petra isn’t very nice to the kids. Lithia dreams of the day they can escape and get back to Venus.

Another story line follows Captain Pacius who wants nothing to do with the Helix earrings that are being force upon everyone in the galaxy. One earing has more computing power than any old computer. They can access almost any information you could ever want. They can perform almost any task. They can communicate with people on the other side of the galaxy and store complete memories of a lifetime. All you do is think and it reads your mind.

Doesn’t sound like a bad thing right? Must be if they are being protested, right? Lithia who just wanted to get off Earth accidentally discovers it has a secret and this is not a good thing. 

Revolution in the United States

Revolution in the United States: Slaves to Their Gods https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077988DKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lkViAb1WXAE2R

This book tells how industry and housing development are using up all the land that can be used for agriculture. To grow food and house animals used for food. This is leading to a shortage of food which increases the cost of food. Industry is using cheap materials to make houses now and selling them for way more than they are actually worth. Which puts people in unnecessary debt.

This book says the USA is overcrowded. It has light immigration laws that contributes to the overpopulation. Buildings and cars pollute the air. Natural resources such as food and water are reduced. Environmental damage happens daily. High cost of living causes poverty and starvation.

They always say the USA is a free country. I agree with this book. Maybe to some extent it is but nothing is free here. Not even water. If they could put taxes on the air you breathe, I'm sure they would. You have to have a job and pay taxes to the government if you want to eat and drink.

I enjoyed this book and agree with some points the Author made in it. I recommend this book to people who like books about government and religion.

At age 18 and now finished with high school, her dad still tells her to grow up. That Li Bai doesn’t exist and never did. Now that she is 18 she will loose the help from her teacher aid. Sadly, her mother had passed away.

Since her dad told her to grow up, she used his credit card without permission and jumped a plane from Sydney to Shanghai, China. Her dad was highly worried when she didn’t come home. She was to meet up with a guy she had went to school with.

Truth being Li Bai actually existed long ago in 701 AD. He was a great poet and assumes he was brought back to this world to protect Caitlin.

A Business for the Broken

A Business for the Broken https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077LDJSM3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_b13hAb79YBB1F

I can honestly say I enjoyed this book too much. My husband said I was ignoring him and was jealous over this book. There are two story lines to follow in this book so its like you get two books for the price of one. Both story lines are well developed and take time to get you to the part of the underground revenge service.

The underground revenge service has their people around. If they hear a  heartbreaking story, they slip their future client a black business card. A meeting is set up to get any information they can about the person who caused the heartbreak. Revenge is now in the making for those who don’t want to wait on karma to do her work.

I really enjoyed this book. It slowly builds up the characters and makes you feel for them. Then the revenge planning begins and you are happy for the clients. I highly recommend this book.

Dr. Warren’s first female villain is dead. She was using cyborgs and clones to steal classified military data in an attempt to colonize the outer reaches. But her hidden network on Mars is alive and well and following in her footsteps in Book 2.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K3RZJ0G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eTdhAbTSVQHQC


Wow! What started out as a mystery quickly turned into a creepy ghost story. I loved it! You have to read this book!!!

The book starts out as Jack, Cindy, and Rich want to go kayaking in Alaska. They talk Drew and his new girlfriend Beth into coming along. So they hop a plane to Alaska and spend the night in a hotel. The next morning, they are greeted by a van with 3 kayaks. They stop at a store for supplies. Beth, fascinated by a bottle learns from the store owner it came from a lost town called Whisper from the gold rush days. Drew buys it for her. 

They make their way down the river. Bout two weeks later they hear a whispering sound and stop to explore. They found abandon cabins and a cave w a hole in ground. This is where the whispering is coming from. But its human voices. It is a ghost town. Will they make it out alive? That is for you to read.

I loved this book and highly recommend its creepiness.

Becoming

BECOMING: The Life & Musings of a Girl Poet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HFKG3E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tcbhAbY5385DG

I love to read and write poetry so I got a copy of her book Unscrambled Eggs. I enjoyed it so much that I had to buy this one too. I really enjoy the authors writing and style. She really puts her heart into these poem books and shares them with the world.

You really feel what the Author was feeling when she wrote them.  Her poems are inspirational and uplifting as she writes about her own experiences and inspirations. She uses her talent to write what she is passionate about.

Noble Man is my favorite poem in this book. I just loved that one although the other poems are great too. I recommend this book and her other poem book to all poetry lovers. I really enjoyed both books.

I love to read and write poetry so I got a copy of this book. I really enjoyed the authors writing and style. She really put her heart into these poems and shared them with the world. You really feel what the Author was feeling when she wrote them.

The title Unscrambles Eggs came from her first poem in this book. She says “I can no more unscramble eggs than change the past”. That is so true to me and that one line says a lot.

Crimson

An awesome book for mythical-fanstasy book lovers.
Crimson (Huntress of the Succubi Book 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074M2NWP6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_R4ZgAb4NN1764

Crimson De-Haven was born into a family of demon huntresses. Her ancestors have been demon huntresses for over 100 years. They track and vanquish succubus demons. Female demons that steal the souls of men so they can stay on earth. It forever damns the men to slavery in the underworld. Crimson was born with the sight to see these demons through their human form. They fight the demons with spells, potions, and poisoned buckshot shells.

Over the years Crimson turned into a really good huntress. She started ATL college and began hunting in the city. She was doing good until word got back to Lucena, the head demon in the city of a huntress in the area. She was wondering why demons were missing. This is where trouble starts for her and where my review ends. Will Crimson be able to fight the head demon and all of her demon sisters in the area?

I really enjoyed this book. It sucks you in and it is hard to put down. I enjoyed it. I recommend this book to lovers of mythical-fantasy books. Another note, not for underage children.

Broken

Broken https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973162695/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bWGgAb8JMWG5S

I love to read and write poetry so I got a copy of this book. I really enjoyed the authors writing and style. He really put his heart into these poems and shared them with the world. It is nice to read poems from a man that doesn’t hide his feelings and emotions. This book talks a lot about love and lost love.

One poem really stood out to me when I read it. It seems this is so true these days anymore.
              
                      Cold World.
It’s a cold world out there, but they keep talking global warming. I try to seek friends, but all I see are storms forming. I try to seek help, so I reach put my hand. But its lonlier than a strait man in the pen.

I recommend this book to poetry lovers out there. I enjoyed this book.

Destination Earth

https://www.amazon.com/Destination-Earth-Philosophy-World-Traveler-Writing-ebook/dp/B01GQKZZ52/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

A pleasurable envy overtook my emotions when I read Destination Earth. I grew up reading National Geographic, imagining myself in distant lands. This book, based on an around the world Odyssey, approaches travel as full immersion into these foreign lands. I loved the way the writer set forth a philosophy to immerse yourself as you travel, even considering the "difficulties and struggles" that a traveler inevitably faces at some point during his explorations. I also liked the inserted vignettes with the travel stories that always have something substantial to teach. One in particular, still has me thinking. In “Legs and Arms” he writes, “My legs are the symbol of my strength and independent spirit. My arms are the symbol of my weakness and my dependent nature.” A fascinating read that brought me back to my childhood love of NG and ignited my wanderlust.

Driving Grandpa

https://www.amazon.com/Driving-Grandpa-John-Redstand-ebook/dp/B00ZZ7SA78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509929349&sr=8-1&keywords=Driving+Grandpa

Driving grandpa. What an awesome book. Elderly folk are awesome and always say things that make you laugh. They just don’t care what comes out their mouth. I started reading this book and had a hard time putting it down when I had to. My growling stomach when I was supposed to be cooking dinner for my family wasn’t as interesting as this book.

The book starts off about a year after grandma passes away. Relatives tried to stay with grandpa but said he was just too ornery, like living with a grizzly bear being attacked by hornets. Grandpa is described as a 90 year old WWII veteran that is unable to drive anymore. The grandson telling the story said the last time he let grandpa drive, he forgot to hit the breaks. Grandpa told grandma he was sitting at a red light and the car on front of him put it in reverse and hit the gas hitting him. Lol. One of my favorite stories in this book.

Well the grandson got a job at the bank going to abandon houses to change the locks. He started taking grandpa with him every day. He stopped to get grandpa one day and found him walking miles from his house saying your crazy uncles tried to put me in a nursing home. Which was actually just an apartment.

Grandpa tells him war stories all the time as they hang out during the day. When he gets questioned about some of his stories he gets defensive. It makes me laugh. This book will have you fall in love with grandpa. But if I told all the funny  stories in this book, there would be no point in buying it. Brace yourself for the ending though. I highly recommend this book. I loved it.

After college I went to several interviews with little success. I am still at the same job I was at before I went to college. I got this book to help me land the job I went to college for. There are tips in this book that I never thought of such as after the interview, send a thank you note. And again express your interest in the job.
After reading the resume tips, I am redoing mine. It states that you must have a cover letter. If you are entry level, your resume should only be one page. Fonts used on resumes should be easy to read.
As far as interview tips this book says you should practice your interview. You should arrive prepared. You should have a friendly first impression. Follow their dress code and make eye contact.
This book also has tips on what to do after you land the job. They will be very helpful in my success. Such as take notes during meetings. Avoid office gossip and be a team player.

Here is a great book for you to check out.
https://www.amazon.com/Life-Turmoil-Stories-Franken-08150017-ebook/dp/B075PMH9FH/ref=la_B00N8EB3J2_1_3_twi_kin_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509455336&sr=1-3

This book tells a sad story of how Ana Franken sought to be loved by her mother her whole life. Her mother had a bad life and always took it out on Ana.

Ana’s mothers life went down hill around age 13 when she choose to sleep w a man and got pregnant. Took him away from a family he already had. He despised her and their first born child becoming an alcoholic and an abusive husband.

Ana looked just like her dad so her mother took out her bad life on Ana. Ana was verbally and physically abused her whole life. Even her 3 brothers blamed everything they did on her. Got her in more trouble with her mom. Now matter how good of a child she was her mother never loved her.
When Ana grew up she got married and had a family of her own. She was wealthy beautiful and smart. Yet she still kept going back to see her mother hoping for her approval and love. She eventually tried to stay away from her mother but had a dream she lost her house. Ana went back and saved her home. Ana’s mother still didn't love her. Ana finally decided to stay away from her mother forever.

I enjoyed this book. It was sad and emotional but it ends on a happy note. I am so glad Ana finally decided to never see her mother again.
