This is a beautiful story about Omar and his family. As we all know, there are no winning sides when it comes to war. This book narrates the hardship an Iraqi family has to endure due to the consistent off and on wars conducted in his country.
The book displays a beautiful description of the city and clarifies the misperception westerners have regarding what social norm is in Iraq.
It was fascinating to read how sanctions affected the people and the quality of life, they were so desperate to keep. The reality of every invasion is that many are abused. The author did not shy away from that either, and by doing so, he created an everlasting emotional bond for the reader, making us feel strongly about the Iraqi people and what they really go through.
The work was written strongly, and I enjoyed the message that came from reading the book. We can always rise above the circumstances the world puts us in. For that, I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading about wars and wishes to know how both sides suffer.

“Millions of Americans are afflicted with genital herpes with tens of thousands of new cases being reported each year. This ravaging disease afflicts its sufferers with both physical and emotional scarring, and while effective treatments for the physical aspects of the disease have been developed in recent years, relatively scant attention has been given to the emotional trauma associated with the disease. And even less attention has been given to the connection between patients’ stress levels and recurrences of herpes outbreaks.” By Erasing Scars
Erasing Scars provides a program and a method towards preventing outbreaks caused by the herpes virus. It does not advocate for you to replace or substitute any of your current medication and it certainly does not provide a magical solution to any problem. It simply points out the crucial part of understanding what leads to the outbreak of the disease and how you can prevent it from happening, or at least moderately resolve it.
When I initially started reading this book I felt overwhelmed with the information, however; slowly I realized that Erasing Scars is not just a book creating awareness to Herpes, it is also offering new theories and developments that can be proven to work. “Aesthetic Realism” is the philosophy offered in this book, developed by the poet and critic Eli Siegel and is the main breakthrough for this disease.
As Dr. Okun studies more into this philosophy, he discovers that there is a link between deep psychological pain, vision, and the herpes infection. This is where the book caught my attention. I have never read this anywhere through my studies. It is a fascinating discovery, and from there I did not wish to put the book down anymore.
Dr. Okun believes that “Aesthetic Realism teaches people an accurate way of dealing with the stresses inherent to life, and its role in alleviating stress.” He is convinced that “Aesthetic Realism is directly connected with the body’s own immune responses.” The book also covers what the meaning of stress is and offers many subject examples to solidify its discovery.
In summary, I recommend this book to anyone that is open to new medical discoveries and innovative remedies to healing.

Most people do not expect much content or deeper insightful things, in a children’s book. However, Bell Mountain is one of those books that you can be rest assured in containing more than you expected.
The story has religious references and is a beautiful tale about two children on a mission to ring the bell of Bell Mountain. There is a secret behind this assignment and as they go through climbing this mountain they encounter many challenges. Aside from the assassin that attempts to stop them, they have to also defend themselves from beasts, hunters, bandits and more.
The people have forgotten about God. Praying is rarely done and is mostly unanswered. It is the call of God that has these two children, Jack and Ellayne on this mission and of course when you have God on your side, all will be well, won’t it?
Bell Mountain takes you on, an extraordinary voyage that was pleasant to the eyes and warm the heart. In my opinion, the book is suitable for all ages and not just for young adults. You truly care for the characters and as for the pace of the story; the beginning may have been a little slow. However, without that backstory, I don’t think the book would have had the big impact at the end.
Prepare yourself for a sweet and sour journey. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this Author.

1001 islands is a Sci-Fi Fantasy novel written in a sea world where 1001 Islands posses characters such as witches, pirates, a princess and much more. There are multiple storylines, two of which have romantic hints to it and each plot is as intriguing as the next.
Once the plots combine, the work then becomes an epic experience. The characters are all well developed, and each have their own drawn personalities. I enjoyed how the female characters were strong, and the love interest was delightful to read.
The work does possess adult contact, and the ending was sudden and unexpected. However, the entire experience was wonderful, and I recommend this book to fantasy readers.

September Sky is a story written about two men, Chuck and Justin. This father and son end up taking a trip to make amends over the time they have not spent together due to work and study. While on the ship they are offered a way to go back in time using a time machine. The two venture into the 1900’s where the great hurricane in Galveston, Texas happened.
They discover many things about their family’s history. While cruising in the past, they decide to solve a murder case and prevent an innocent man from conviction. While accomplishing all this, they fall in love with two women. During their time in the past, they are restricted with instructions and have to come back in a specified time.
This is a beautiful story with accurate historical references and a thoroughly researched plot. The concept of the story is well written and the literary standard is up to speed. I found the pace of the story to be side tracked at times. However, it would then faithfully return on its main course, so it did not bother me as much. It has a beautiful ending that is a pleasant surprise, and once you reach it, you feel satisfied and happy.
September Sky focuses on the main character’s emotions and feelings. Therefore, you can easily handle and feel more connected to them and the story. They have to face a devastating hurricane. Will they be able to survive it? The time they can stay in the past is limited so how are they going to say goodbye to the women they fall in love with? There are many delightful twists and turns in this exciting ordeal of a journey.
I look forward to reading the next book and wonder what adventures these two can unfold. I recommend this tale to anyone that loves time travel, suspense, and romance books.

When a blessing knocks on your door do you return it or keep it?
It is almost Christmas and Jayce has been reflecting on her life and situation for a while. She has everything she wants and needs; however she still feels a void in her life. One snowy evening as she is praying to God asking him to show her the way and to give her a sign she hears a knock on her door. A small baby named Noah is being offered to her with a note informing her to keep him, until further notice.
Not sure of what she is supposed to do; Jayce decides to take care of the baby until the mother decides to show up giving her answers. The next day Noah’s mother comes to Jayce’s door and clears up the reason why she cannot have the baby and asks Jayce to be the legal guardian.
Jayce is a businesswoman and has a partner that has asked her to marry him. The baby is not what she was asking for and is definitely going to make a big change in her life. How is she going to cope with all this change? Can she keep the baby and remain living the way she is?
I found this short story to be a sweet little Christmas tale. There was a lot more dialogue than backstory content to the book. The back and forth conversations between Jayce and Kyle were funny, and the pace of the story had a nice motion to it. The overall ending was a surprise but short. This tale has great potential in becoming something bigger, and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Quality DNA is a futuristic novel set in 2059. The DNA of every person is stored in a database called the Genome. Things become complicated when Annette wants to find out who the father of her little girl is after her one night stand.
The results show that the father is someone completely different and so she begins to investigate how that can even be possible. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel approach the author had taken into the storyline. The concept of creating the best, strongest human being has always been a fascinating concept in futuristic stories. The consequences though have never fully settled in and here, mankind will never stop until they succeed.
Whether the notion of success is truly a satisfactory result can be discussed at another time. The literature was strong and I enjoyed the original voice refreshing inventiveness and delicious use of language within the content of the work.
I recommend this book to sci-fi readers and those who enjoy futuristic tales.

Fly into the world that is full of hope and joy. Here lays 52 chapters filled with words of wisdom in hope to connect people to each other and themselves. This book is like the helpful fairy tale animals that assist you in your journey of life.
I found myself smiling when I started to read this book. There are numerous relatable topics in this book that I believe many of us have endured during our lifetime. We can definitely use this book as a guideline and light up the doors that we may have missed and lead ourselves back to the joy we used to feel.
Each chapter is organized and divided into self-healing sections such as meditation, health, living in denial, relationships, money, self-esteem, anxiety, and jealousy. The most important one that I particularly liked was getting over your childhood. The source of many of our problems in adulthood is linked back to when we were children and ‘Wake Up To the Joy Of You’ takes this very seriously, addresses it and shows us a way to overcome it.
At the end of the book, you are to feel more at peace with yourself; you let go of your pain and aches, and you learn to trust yourself and to believe. Agapi believes that we are “Human Beings” and not “Human Doings.” This is referred to the way we live in today’s society where it is just ‘GO, GO, and GO’. In this case, she recommends us to slow down, listen and to feel. “By stopping and just concentrating on ourselves we revamp and energize and perform better,” she adds. In addition, Agapi gives us examples of how this method has been successful in the past. Albert Einstein pondered the riddle of the universe with a cat on his lap and Isaac Newton figured out the law of universal gravitation when sitting under a tree.
By referring to her own personal experience the Author allows us to understand where all this comes from. It makes her more reachable and relatable. I also particularly like the way she asks us to write things down in order to face them.
There is a general understanding that not all problems and issues are solvable and not many people succeed the first time round. Many problems are too complicated or have had a much harsher impact on our soul, and I believe it would do best to say that Agapi might not have all the answers, however; her determination in not giving up is a good attitude to have.
Even if you didn’t wish to believe or agree with anything the author says, you still feel happy just reading the book and feel the encouraging energy the book is giving you. I recommend you buying this book even if you didn’t want to read it, just in case it’s positive reinforcement, accidentally brushes off on you.
