Review:Still absorbing the data and detail. I value the myth busting truth and factuality . A book that will work like a suppository if you take it
on. The quality I really appreciate about these books in the way they allow me to turn emerging theory into useful action. Read more

7 Powerful Prescriptions to Feed Your Body Back to Health
7 Powerful Prescriptions to Feed Your Body Back to Health

Review:The Food RX approach to healing your body and creating inner balance makes so much sense. The earth is beyond abundant in wholesome, smart foods that know exactly how to nourish our bodies back to health. Why are we not utilizing these amazing tools? The book contains 7 food prescriptions that profess to nurse you back to health. I really loved the GI prescription, I encountered some pretty heavy GI issues this past year and I was eager to find a holistic approach to healing my gut. Prior to rea... Read more

Dragon Wing (The Death Gate Cycle, Book 1)
Dragon Wing (The Death Gate Cycle, Book 1)

Review:As you have seen with others, the Kindle version is rife with typographical errors. About location 200, and I am done with it. A few errors are expected but "ar rows", really? The fantasy names have been swapped back and forth a few times as well, so if you are a new reader (as I am, and - being the first book- you would expect others to be) you are left going "wait, what is this place called?". I can't review the books content as the technology has ruined it, in this case. Save yourself some fr... Read more

Easy DIY Projects to Add a Warm and Rustic Feel to Any Room
Easy DIY Projects to Add a Warm and Rustic Feel to Any Room

Review:Expensive book for what you get. The people pictures don't even look happy! Very "staged" I might pay five or six dollars for this book, but not more. This may be like a "model home, but much of it is not practical. Seems so strange to buy something new just to make it look old, but maybe that's just me. Go to some garage sales in the country and find the real thing, because your time is valuable and the real stuff always has a story behind it! Read more

-- 24 Color Cards with Numbered Swatches -- 5 Color Plans for each Color -- 2 Value Finders Red & Green

Review:Product arrived on time and in good condition. The tool is very similar to all other color theory approaches. Compact enough to carry in your purse when purchasing material. However I think a book on Color theory would be more helpful. A small color wheel from any art store would provide the same information. If you do not have any color tools this might be a handy beginners tool. Will keep and perhaps if I find it not useful will give as a gift to a beginning quilter or artist. Read more

How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet
How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet

Review:This is a fascinating book full of great information about cats. It gives the reader insight into cat psychology and behavior. It describes scientific research into cats over the past several years, and the need for more. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the initial chapters went into great detail on the history of cats and their domestication. Don't put the book down if the history part isn't for you, just breeze on past to the next part on behavior and psychology. This is a... Read more
