This book is a fantastic resource for self Help, self care and healing from childhood trauma. The workbook is self healing and helping therapy which guides you through your journey. Personally for me I found it very hard to focus and follow through the workbook as it is not exactly written for those with Childhood Complex Trauma-PTSD. I have attempted to read but found that it gave me an overwhelming feeling that I first needed to get appropriate support of therapy before embarking on following this journey in the workbook. I highly recommend that if reading this book gives you triggers as it did for me please seek professional guidance and theory then return to this workbook.

I usually enjoy reading the Sci Fi and Fantasy genres unfortunately I found that the story was unable to hold my attention and interest at all. I was unable to focus and follow what was happening. I am sure that other readers would enjoy the story.

A Zodiac Odyssey

Publisher: BooksGoSocial

Sci Fi & Fantasy; Teens & YA

4 Stars

The Dragon Queen A Zodiac Odyssey was interesting, nail biting and sad moments. Tragic moments and Unlikely bonds and relationships occur along with some issues causing changes and chaos.

The story was a little slow paced at the beginning but began to develop as Akita’s journey began. Some characters made me wanting to stop reading yet I continued as I needed to know what will happen next and the ending.

I’m in agreement with the authors that this book Intuitive Eating for Diabetes is not one to listen or read before going to bed at night as you might miss out on learning more about diabetes and how to manage, advocating etc. This book is one to keep handy on a coffee table, in your book case, or even in your bag. As there’s sections to reflect, keep a notebook or journal handy so you can write your thoughts or even questions to ask your medical team. I’m glad to receive this book as I am able to learn how to self care, advocate for myself, how to work with my medical team and nutrition.

An absolutely gripping thriller that will have you up all night

3 Stars

The Hunt might say it’s a gripping thriller that will keep you up at night I can certainly say that it didn’t happen for me. Personally I found the story a little slow and confusing which I was unable to get a grip or sense of what was happening. Usually I enjoy reading about true crime, mystery and thrillers and general adult fiction but it didn’t seem to have the right balance and wasn’t quite gripping my attention to focus and follow what was happening.

I personally found the book Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Love not my usual style of fiction. It was slow to read and understand. I did attempt to read but I was unable to get into the story. It’s not exactly my cup of tea but it would be someone’s.
