In my Facebook shop, anyway.
The book I put up (pictured) was one I forgot I had, as I usually pick up fiction books.

I just finished reading "Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gawain, and I truly love this book. It's an old book, and I wish I read this long time ago, lol. In this book, there are different techniques that can help you manifest...

I’ve been working on With A Little Help over the past few days, I think I have the introduction figured out, and the start of an article, or essay. I do plan on using a few pieces from the Original Publication, but there are...

Canadian YouTuber (and soon-to-be North American late night talk show host) gives advise on how to be successful in a way only Lilly Singh (aka @!!superwoman!!) can. Her humour and voice are clear but definitive in giving advise...

I actually stayed up later than I had intended I finished up several reviews, two of them not so favorable as the novels just didn’t capture my attention, but I got them reviewed and that’s what counts, I did read two good books...

I had heard of James Ellroy for years, but I had never read any of his novels before. Being a fan of noir, and true crime, I figured that it was about time, and when this book caught my eye on the Mt.TBR pile, well, it was time....

After reading Anthony Bourdain's very amusing and revealing _Kitchen Confidential,_ I was looking forward to taking this one in. Designed as a counterpoint to his current series on FoodTV, _A Cook's Tour_ is a manic ride at the...

I freely admit to enjoying reading about the Victorian period of history, that time between 1840 or so to the turn of the twentieth century. Caught as it were, between the start of the Industrial Revolution and the First World...
