<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Nora inherits a
bookstore, a house, a dog, and much more from an uncle she never met. She
drives from California to St. Augustine, Florida, to investigate her claim.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It is the "Much
More" that presents her problems—her uncle is murdered, is friends with
the mob, owns a ship, and has left her millions. While settling in, she meets
various colorful characters, including a detective who sparks her interest and
helps him solve the case.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The murderer in the
case is closer than one would think and solves itself. There are a few twists
and turns, but Nora can handle anything.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The dialogue throughout
the novel is funny, and the greyhound dog knows how to control things. The read
is quick and an excellent lead into a series.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The composition of this
non-fiction is so well-developed that the reader will come away thinking - Wow,
I did not know that. And, most likely, the reader is correct.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I am well-read and knew
many of Schweitzer's topics just by the headline theme. Thank you, MSM and the
press, for the information.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to detailed
information by the author, China is attacking our young through social media
(TikTok), the motion picture industry, and video games. Using cut-outs, China
has already killed Americans with drugs (Fentanyl derivatives) and did control
their information about the COVID-19 pandemic.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This propaganda war by
the CCP is, in some respect, payback for the Opium Wars - Please look it up.
And the CCP believes that the West's, especially America's, decadence will
destroy the world.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Schweitzer's narrative
includes how our leaders do not pressure China, knowing they are doing what
they are doing. This is a mind-boggling financial circle.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This book is what
readers, my followers, consider a book for the INQUISITIVE MIND. It is a
must-read if you care about your children and grandchildren.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Despotism vs. Freedom

Villages and Riskers unite or stay apart; a Villager can never question it.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Iskra, a
fifteen-year-old girl, is a resident of the Villages. A nail-biting event
brings her into the Riskers' homeland, where people can ask questions and do as
they wish - it is another world.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In the Riskers' camp, there
are sparks between Iskra and Xico. However, she must go back home. It is the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The risky adventure
begins. The leader of the Villages knows and must stop for all the villagers'
safety and fairness.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">She returns many times,
the sparks become love, and a deadly adventure begins. The twists and turns of
this whole story will have the reader thinking about current events.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Catalina, CAT, is the
only cat lover in the dog city of Barkview. She is the producer of her Aunt
Char's Dog Show, an entertaining TV program that teaches people how to train
their canines.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Everyone in Barkview
has a dog, many with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. A Champion dog competition
has come to Barkview.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Two famous canines cannot
be found, and the owner is dead. All indications say Aunt Char did the crime.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">CAT is an investigation
report in her past life; her new friend Russ is with the FBI, and Uncle G. is
the sheriff with two dogs who follow him around.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The three's
investigative skills are used in a long dog-days night crime wave, including a
kennel burning. CAT's past explodes in the present with a deadly ending.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">C.B. Wilson's writing
is crisp and colorful but a little too detailed for me. However, if you love
dogs, you will love CAVALIERED TO DEATH.</span></b></p>

for the series 'A Pizza Parlor Mystery </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Book 1.' There needs to be more minor character
development to make the story interesting.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">However, the reader
gets to know Gina, the main character, a bit. The author needs to be more
in-depth in book 2 for the series to move on.</span></b></p>

fires the chef in her sick uncle's pizzeria after determining the place is

of pizza in his hand.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Gina becomes a sleuth

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This novel is a
courtroom drama to prove that Santa did not do it. Cass is hoodwinked into a
case to free a small town's favorite Santa Claus from spending years behind
bars.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Santa is captured on
video leaving the crime; he is fighting with the victim a few minutes prior,
and the victim's government committee will take away his life's enjoyment.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Lastly, the case is
tried two weeks before Christmas, with only those weeks for Cass to prepare a
defense. Everything happens so fast that the reader will not put down the book.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The ending surprises
Cass, the authorities, the client, the town, and the reader.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">G. Lawrence's prose
flows with these little nuggets throughout this novel of King Henry the First

directs her to marry a newly knighted fifteen-year-old for political reasons -
she is property, and her son is heir.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Matilda's fictional
words include historical drama. Her psychological development moves into
philosophy, which is sometimes wordy.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The novel is long but

clear and fluid explanation of Liberalism, Nationalism, and Realism in this
thesis on how countries use them to place themself in the world hierarchy. The
United States has been promoting liberal homogeny for years as its foreign
policy, and it's not working.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mearsheimer's arguments
against liberal foreign policies are compelling. Reality needs to change how a
unipolar power like the United States involves itself in other countries'
business, which is how I read his hypothesis.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This dissertation goes
into multipolar examples, which include China's and Russia's participation in
global power struggles. The reader can decide whether the status quo of the
United States's spreading liberal homogeny should remain.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lastly, Obama and Trump
bucked the foreign elites on the matter, but Hilary Clinton and Biden followed the
elites' playbook. Obama gave in. Trump is still fighting for Nationalism in the
country and Realism in foreign policy.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">John J. Mearsheimer has
written an engrossing description of how the modern-day political world
evolves. GREAT DELUSION is a vital read you should notice if you care about the
USA.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Ms. Rosenberg does an
excellent job of using facts and fiction to bring a remarkable woman to life.
Pommery crossed into a world in the 1850s that few had - male domination in
war, peace, and wine development.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The male world placed
conflict after conflict before Pommery, but she found the strength to reach her
vision. Ultimately, her beliefs and desire to produce the Brut brand, a dryer,
less sweet champagne, succeeded.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This story, written by
Rebecca Rosenberg, is inspiring and well-developed. The twists and turns keep
the pages moving.</span></b></p>

Mystery book #1, where we learn the background story for her next adventures.
Her famous legal family has disowned her, and she learns something about her
best friend. A man dies after Poppy fights with him, and she loses her job in a
donut shop.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The video of Poppy

In walks Ophelia to save the day, she and Poppy begin their investigation.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The duo's search goes
around in circles, looking into the victim's background until one gets an

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">According to Henry
David Thoreau, Confucius said, "To know that we know what we know, and
that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge." Readers,
think about this statement for a moment.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I read Thoreau's words
in a Massachusetts High School, in an American Lit college class, and now at
seventy-five years old. They resonate more now because one gets wiser with age.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">However, you must read
his words at any age. The simplicity of Thoreau's living philosophy at WALDEN,
Massachusetts, in the 1850s, applies to many complicated situations in modern
society.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The prose is
uncomplicated to a reader who takes his time - a Thoreau axiom. Walden is an
important story that every High School or college student should read,
including us older adults.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The book SEX
TRAFFICKING story ends earlier than its published date, 2017, and before the
open border in the USA. Note: Eastern Europe problems and open EU borders
enhance traffic. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">According to the
author, the global economy is one of the main reasons human trafficking has
expanded. This book is not a thesis but written as a personal fact-finding
journey.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The author adds
individual narratives of young women's horrific lives as sex providers for
drama - they are compelling, destroying faith in humans.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">However, his solution
crosses too many boundaries controlled by men who use those services. It is
pathetic, but it is changing the world's individual countries' insurmountable
economies.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Mr. Kara's detailed
fact-finding is well-written, but he does not crucify the stupidity of some
religions and cultures that help feed the trafficking. In his writing, I
understood that governments are at fault, but religions run many.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">SEX TRAFFICKING is an
interesting read that needs updating but is a start.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I am less than a
layperson when it comes to doctoring. I do not like or take medical pills
unless I am forced to - like gummies.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Doctor Davis’s gut
microbiome solutions, self-made yogurts, and fermented foods improve your
SIBO/SIFO (Intestinal Overgrowths). These explanations are complicated diets,
i.e., one item must reach 106F to be used.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If he titled the book
DIET FOR A SUPER GUT, it would not sell. He gives the diet at the end of the
book after an extended eight-chapter analog of how our stomach and intestines
function, which only a medical student can understand.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Although Dr. Davis
writes clearly and sometimes funny, he takes too long to get to the book's main
point: selling his distinct yogurt and diet. If you have one of the SIBO or
SIFO illnesses, I recommend his fixes. If not, save the dime.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">People say, "The
Devil made me do it," as a joke referring to demons controlling the
actions of a human. Some have used this state of mind to defect from their
actions in murder trials.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">SCREWTAPE, a teacher
demon to Wormwood, explains how The Father-From-Below wants Wormwood to trick his human (Patient) out of his soul. Each letter chapter instructs the novice demon on
how to sway his patient against the ENEMY (God and Christian religious norms).</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The prose is hilarious,
profound, and thoughtfully written. C.S Lewis's understanding of human nature
comes alive in the letters.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">These conflicts in
behavior will enlighten the reader. The reader's mind will reflect on their
life's progress.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">SCREWTAPE LETTERS are a

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">UNLOCKING WELLNESS is
not a book to read and forget. The reader needs to be open-minded and curious,
reviewing chapters to get clarity.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Although Ms. Legault
promotes Yoga as a cure-all, most of her dissertation revolves around the mind
to physical control of one's health. She delves into affirmation, exercise, and
nutrition that leads to a healthy life.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">"So, what is the
mind-body link? Simply put, it is an incredible bridge between your emotions,
thoughts, and physical health." Ms. Legault believes each person can develop a
way to reach that goal.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Sara Legault outlines
many ways to reach wellness, using her facts and stories of people who have.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">CUP is a cozy mystery
where the characters shine. The main character, Wynona LeDoux, is a witch with
no powers and has a purple mouse as a sidekick - she reads tea leaves.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The police chief is a
vampire who needs his blood coffee to get him going in the morning. His deputy
is a wolf shifter and one of Wynona's suitors. The Chef is a gnome, and other
strange people live in Hex Haven.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Pastry Chef, who is
hired to fill Wynona's Tea Shop with delights, is killed in her shop while she
is home in bed. It was another gnome, but they all think it is the Chef.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The police chief puts
the crime on Wynona, and from this point, she becomes an investigator at the
disdain of the chief. Their battle to find the truth is in her favor because
she has powers unknown to her and her Rich Presidential Witch Family.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">CUP ends in a flaming
battle with the murderer, who is known only to Wynona.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I am neither an
intellectual elite nor a full-blown conservative. Mr. Sowell is an intellectual
conservative who writes convincing arguments against fleeting
progressives on their fallacies of Equal chances, Racial differences, and the
other pigeonhole placements of humanity. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">FALLACIES is a thesis
on how the wealthy and intellectual elite (UN, WHO, and WEF, three) vanguard
manipulates humanity to believe and follow their dictates. Fifty percent of it
has footnotes, clarifying Sowell's thoughtful positions.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Whether you agree with
his stand on racial fallacy progression, as an example, the reader will have a
hard time disagreeing with his opinion. This well-written and thought-provoking
book is for the Inquisitive Mind, which many of my readers have.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you want to clear
the cobwebs out of your mind and think about how the world around you happened,
SOCIAL JUSTICE FALLACIES is a good read for you.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lauren, a teacher,
signs an agreement with Alex, an artist, to care for his two-year-old daughter
during summer break, Viv—the arrangement between one hottie and another hottie.
It could only end in a "Happy Endings Book Club" conclusion, as all
the stories in this eleven-book series.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you love HALLMARK
movies, this is right up your alley: no significant twists and turns. Lauren
wants what Alex has, and vice versa.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">There is some hot sex,
and it is preordained that marriage is in the cards. Viv is the linchpin - she
loves Lauren, her second mommy.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The story is
well-written, with some girlie-funny conversations. However, I will not buy
another book in the series, but if you are a romantic and like happy-ending
stories, start with book 1.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What could be better
than a Witch in a Cozy Mystery? Not much for me.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This story was quick
for me. Willow Tree Falls is a magic tourist trap where Tempest Crypt, her
family, and her hellhound reside with other witches, demons, and angels.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tempest has a demon
living within her, and her hound can talk. The other characters of the town are
also strange - angels are the police, and others are half one thing or another.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tempest's sister Aurora
is arrested for murder by an unruly angel, and her investigation begins. Then,
all the weird twists and turns for who murdered the mayoral candidate develop
into many laughs.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tempest and the Angel
Police Force only know who has done it once a secret comes out on election day.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fun read. Purchase: <a href="https://amzn.to/3SjGKPO">https://amzn.to/3SjGKPO</a></span></b></p>conniesbrother.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14300774960519493898noreply@blogger.com0
