Defeating Depression: A Natural Guide to Overcoming Depression, Fear, and How to Improve Your Quality of Life By Brian Score

This book is a concise guide to helping the average joe deal with clinical depression. I found it very informative, the tips were easy to understand as well as the explanations for the tips. The book was excellent and I will use some of the tips Brian offers in my daily life. He explains the importance of diet, exercise, and having a good support system which are all good pointers to keeping depression at bay. He also asks that you challenge the depressed feelings and what is causing them and I found that extremely interesting. While it was a quick read it was super informative and I enjoyed it.

The Medical Marijuana Patient's Guide By Brian Stone

This was a very interesting book full of facts on the uses of cannabis for the treatment of various diseases. Before I read this I was unaware of how many different strains of cannabis there were and how they are differently utilized for the treatment of diseases like Cancer, Fibromyalgia, and MS. Mr. Stone also puts the usages into layman's terms that everyone can understand. He explains the different active chemicals in cannabis like cannabinoids and THC and their effects on the bodies of human beings. I found this book very informative and interesting in so many ways. I myself suffer from Fibromyalgia and I was unaware of the use of Marijuana for its treatment. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to know anything about Marijuana's medicinal uses and those who are beginning treatment with the drug.

Who We Were by Christy Sloat

This is a great coming of age story. I found the characters and situations very relatable. It took me back to my high school years when my best friends were found not in my school but out of my school. My favorite character was Nolan, he was a wonderful mystery to unravel. All in all this was a good read that pulled you in. I found it hard to put down. I also loved Kyleigh, she reminded me of my best friend in high school.

Amongst the Clouds By Wendy Nystrom 5+++ Stars

This is a beautifully written fantasy all my favorite characters are back for an incredible journey amongst the clouds. Wendy Nystrom wraps you in a
Incredible spell and holds you in it until the very end. I loved Matthias the dragon and the return of the yule lads. I also thought Ranni was a great addition to this universe. The artwork was very beautiful I loved how the characters were drawn. I am always excited for a new release by Wendy and this book did not dissapoint. Both my daughter and I truly enjoyed James' journey amongst the clouds. Well written and great for children young and old.

Alien Species Series books 1-3

I had the privilege of reading the Alien Species series anthology which are books 1-3 in the series.All I can say is incredible. JK Accinni has a very different view on the end of the world. I cried my way through Baby, and fell in love with this amazing little alien who cares for the Earth, and also for his human family. She writes from the heart in this amazing tale of love, loss, and coming back from the edge of darkness. Book two is Echo, again another amazing read! I'd already fallen in love with Baby and then when Echo is introduced how can you not love her. Her bond with Barney is particularly touching. All of her characters are extremely well thought out and written so that you are living in their shoes. I've read the entire series and it's just beautiful and amazing how the animals and humans work together, and how the bonds form between them. You are in for an amazing ride in this set of books and it will leave you wanting for more! Guess what? There ARE more! They are all artfully written and the story came into my imagination in living color. I would recommend these books to anyone, JK Accinni is a master storyteller. You should definitely try these out!

The White Door By Christy Sloat

I absolutely loved The White Door by Christy Sloat. Having read the entirety of this series it brings it to a whole new world for all of the characters. Christy is an amazing storyteller who pulls you into the dark world of her characters. I am a huge Brylee Branson fan. She's such a strong female character with a whole lot of fight in her. The story brings the Brown House series to a close with a bang and an unexpected end to one of the stories of one of my favorite characters. I believe in the world beyond and The White Door doesn't dissappoint. It's got romance, intrigue, ghosts of course, and a curse that needs to be ended once and for all. This is a great book and I recommend this series to everyone! Christy is a wordsmith of the highest regard and I'm looking forward to more of her incredibly entertaining stories!
