Review: On a Couch Somewhere in America

On a Couch Somewhere in America On a Couch Somewhere in America by J. D. Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG this is golden! Why doesn't it have more reviews? If you are a fellow Psychotherapist, Mental Health Counselor, or/and Psychiatrist, - you will love this book! It starts on a very high comedy note, but not to give anything away, well it will not stay just funny forever, that's the best of the writing I think.
It is both ridiculous at times and quite realistic, I love the sessions "transcripts", the "internal feedback" of the psychiatrist, made me laugh out-loud many times. But despite of it all, the book can and will go to some pretty dark places later on, and for me the change of pace, style and exposition was welcomed, and well realized.
This one will stay in my library because I am more then certain will be re-reading this book again in the new 2016!

Review: Stop Dreaming Start Traveling: The Ultimate Guide to Traveling More and Spending Less

Stop Dreaming Start Traveling: The Ultimate Guide to Traveling More and Spending Less Stop Dreaming Start Traveling: The Ultimate Guide to Traveling More and Spending Less by Russell Hannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was not expecting much, and my expectations were exceeded by much! There is not much or almost nothing here for the UK travelers, but if you are from the US and/or Canada you will probably be able to utilize the book advise more fully. It is nicely written, gives a lot of links and scenarios to be tailored to your needs, I will keep this one as a present for my North-American friends over the holidays here!

Review: Land of Promise

Land of Promise Land of Promise by James Wesley Rawles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Disappointing but interesting too. It was exciting to see how the story will turn out (yes, I did pre-order the book, the premise was original enough). But sadly it ended up being war and gun "porn" and stopped being interesting because of too much politics involved in the tater part of the book. Not enough characters and characters development almost all absent. I do not know If I will be continuing to read the series, but it was still a good alternative history read.

2015 out 2016 in

The most interesting thing for me about the passing of 2015 is, how polarized it actually ended up being! Yes, I have done many things, but did not keep up with all of them. I have re-done a lot, but finished even less.

How will the coming 2016 size up in all of that self-created mess? And what other challenges will it bring? Will it be exciting or boring, will things look up, or be devalued again? These are the questions that bug me today.

And even with not celebrating Christmas and not celebrating New Year (which one, there are so many of them!) it is till interesting to contemplate "a year in review".

Miners finish work for the last time at Britain's last deep-coal pit





This is just heartbreaking! These people who have done so much, will almost certainly be abandoned with almost no job prospects - disgraceful!

Review: Her Loving Husband's Return

Her Loving Husband's Return Her Loving Husband's Return by Meredith Allard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the last installment in the trilogy and in my opinion the best. It is different in style and pacing, and stands apart from the first two books in the series.

Is it perfect, not at all; but it is a bearable vehicle for the story. It ties all of the loos ends together, finish up story spinets and gives a good The End to the readers.

I enjoyed the historical detour in this book a lot, and the letter forms added to the story a new dimension of "magical realism". The aggressive bigotry showcased in the "human" characters in this story written up in a way that helps the story go forward and it is not too all anointing as it might be expected.

This series was a true surprise. In the beginning I was venomously opposed the vampire story-line, it was so "twilight-like" but it is written so differently and with so much passion that the negative expectations dissipate by the end of the first book in the series.

So, if you want to try this series out, expect a lot of history, a good in all romance and some magic through together to give you a nice story to read through.

December is upon us AGAIN!

I am tired of putting thing on the side, and waiting. I know I have told you this many times before, but in all honesty, after turning 30 this year, and going through the rest of 2015 with all of the turmoil and troubles it has brought to my life and the life of my loved ones, I am just tired... tired of the unproductive thinking process that keeps holding me back from achieving life as I always waned it to be.

There should be no holding back, time is not at all stationery, and despite the fact that I still feel like I am 25, I am not any more, and I never will be. So, why do I wait? Why do I think it will all be resolved magically when in reality it never will get sorted if I personally and actively will get into the job of sorting it out and resolve it NOW! 

Bear with me, I do want to do all I can to use the opportunities to my advantage, but I also know myself, to a point that I can say with certainty, I will fail, - the main thing how will I recover from it, and  how will me failing, help me still to move toward eagerly, to my real life goals.   

So, let's see how it will go, - tomorrow is off-course a better day then ever, but I will start today, start today, and keep up keeping up, in the end - that's all what actually matters.

Review: The 1-Hour Goddess

The 1-Hour Goddess The 1-Hour Goddess by Anne Clara Laugesen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is by no means a ground-breaking book. But one thing the author does well, is encourage and support. Weight-lifting is still seen as un-ladylike, and by changing this notion to, "Girls, Go Lift!" the change becomes tangible, and achievable at the same time.
Yes, I might not agree with all of the things mentioned in this book, especially as a vegan, the "diet" portion of this book, is a no-win to me personally.
But there are still good things in here, this book is sizable enough, but can be read in one sitting, for a greater time used for 1) contemplation... 2) booking your local gym!
The extra touches where support is openly given are great in this book, and I would argue are the main strength point of the book as a whole.
The Facebook group dedicated to the book is very positive and approachable.
And the extra materials are easily gained by emailing the author, which again showcases openness and dedication.
I would probably reread the book, to "digest" (pun intended) the book better, and now the main thing is ahead of me - actually sticking with the changes, and sustaining the positive outlook!

Review: Bird Box

Bird Box Bird Box by Josh Malerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So many times in the middle of this story I would set the book aside with the words - Fuck this, I am not reading anymore of this shit! - which if you ask me is a brilliant thing, because it has proved to me that this particular story has resonated a real emotional response from me. It reminded me a bit of "The Ables" by Jeremy Scott; in its story descriptions, which was another 5 starer from this years read books.
It is truly terrifying read, and no, there is no blood and gore, but an abundance of psychological horror. So, if you are into something like this it is a book that you will enjoy.
There are so many details, in the world-building, and I love it how many things you need to pay attention too, the more attentive you will read the more scared you end up, there is a pure correlation here.
I was reeling for all of the characters practically from the start, I felt like I was invested into the story to the point of thinking obsessively about the gaps in the story while reading the story... All in all I enjoyed the book a lot, I probably will not re-read it, but never the less it was reading/listening time well spent and I hope I will not have night-mares today, so fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Review: Red Hill

Red Hill Red Hill by Jamie McGuire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an AMAZING read! I know that 5 star ratings are nothing strange for me, but in truth each 5 star rating I give to a book is different and for different reasons. This time it is because this stand alone novel was extremely good. I am normally not into standalones, especially post-apocalyptic standalones... but this one is a different matter entirely. Here I was smiling, crying, and chain smoking numerous times, the story did not let me go, I needed to keep up to find out what will happen next and will there be a resolution!? Plus extra kudos for realistic sex scenes (which is quite rear nowadays; may "50 Shades of Grey" burn in obscurity!).
The characters were relatable and interesting, yes there were some tautologies present in the writing and some repetitions unnerved me but it was bearable and did not diminish the main story at all. I hoped there would be a continuation (apart from the accompanieing novella that gives you a different perspective on the same story) but alas there was none. And really, only after finishing the book and going through the epilogue, I understood why - the story is done, the story is lived, the story is out there, - and that's the main thing.
I enjoyed the writing immensely, plus the AudioBook version is very well produced, a true delight! Good bye characters, I will remember you...

Review: Ink and Bone

Ink and Bone Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was a great read that I have finished in one sitting, which is a rear thing for me. It emanates the love of books and ultimately showcases what would happened in "StarshipTroopers" were not in space and had books as weapons instead. It is a thoughtful portrait of corruption, naivete and a lust of knowledge all blended in one. Next installment in the series is seriously building up as a definitive 5 starer for sure!

At last a good story-survival book for the UK! Great presentation scenario explored in detail, interesting characters and highly readable content. Read it in one sitting. If there will ever be a continuation I will buy it in a heartbeat for sure!

Review: The Witches: Salem, 1692

The Witches: Salem, 1692 The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not an easy read at all, but if you have time and are not easily upset, try reading this book. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Plus, the AudioBook version is great presentation in itself, and has some extra material added. This is a study of an endurance known to most people as a historical fact. It is done with diligence and attention. In the end, it is not only educational but both emotional and thought provoking.

Review: The Hospital: The First Mountain Man Story

The Hospital: The First Mountain Man Story The Hospital: The First Mountain Man Story by Keith C. Blackmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was so f****** scary. It gave me the extended TWD episodes (you remember that one of the special short's with the nurse, right?), kinda vibe, but it was original in a completely different way. The sense of urgency and terror was very well written and enjoyable to read, it was both relatable and terrifying, and the characters were well fleshed out too. I was very lucky that this story was a free one, because I immediately bought the whole series, it looks like it will be quite a read, so will keep you posted!
If you want to try and see if this style of writing and exposition is your cup of tea, give it a go! You will not regret it.

Review: Midway

Midway Midway by Melanie Karsak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great intermediary while waiting for the book 2 in audio format. Gives the story a bit of a different twist. Unexpected surroundings to be honest, but it was fun, well... as much as a story like this can be "fun" thou, - you know what I mean, right? I just really enjoy how this story-universe is developed, and characters are really interesting and relatable too.

Review: The Harvesting

The Harvesting The Harvesting by Melanie Karsak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book so much, the portrayal of the main characters had so much detail and it was so accurate (in relation to the old immigration wave, older generation immigrants). I will be waiting for book 2 in audio, because for me personally the audio version of the story is so much better. Who knew, that by complete chance, I will be able to find a gem!

Review: The Symmetry of Snowflakes

The Symmetry of Snowflakes The Symmetry of Snowflakes by Paul Michael Peters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this book, the main character had quite a complicated backstory, that kept me both guessing and interested. It was nice to read something where good attention to detail is present, and where dialogues are believable and advance character arcs consistently.
Also the snowflake metaphor usage was masterful - very well done!

2015 RESOLUTIONS IN ACTION

So, one of the things I was contemplating when 2014 was drawing to close was ... what do I want to change in the new 2015? And there was quite a bit!

One of these was:
1) make more written blog posts
2) make more videos on my YouTube channel
oh, that's two ;)

The second one is still in progress but the first one I am tackling right this second.
Congrats to me! (that was pathetic wasn't it?)

There is a lot to learn for me about blogging and posting constantly will be a challenge but what can be better for both accountability and inspiration then blogging anyway!

So, as many of you already know after the most recent religious fundamentalist shooting in France 12 people are now dead.

And people are discussing and debating and asking questions an I am like - WTF!!!

If there is any more proof needed that all Abrahamic religions are toxic to the modern society I really don't know what it can be.

Is it really so difficult to connect the dots, really?

So today, it's a venting angry post from me.

See you all soon, and remember

- Stay Safe, Stay Sane and if doing something "naughty" don't get caught!
