This was not a good book, but it was a good distraction for a couple of hours
 
 


Career Of Evil
by Robert Galbraith


The book is a series but does stand alone. There are many times the past is referred to with comments on the past that clarify. There is a quiet love story that is not overshadowed . Passed events strongly contribute to the present horrors occurring. Deceit and sub defuse are ever present and staying with circumstances when they are no longer relevant. The description and characterization makes the book so real.
 
 


Scientific Healing Affirmations
by Paramahansa Yogananda


Someone recommended inreas this and it would change my life. Couldn't get past some super outdated ideas in here for a supposedly wise and enlightened human to be so sexist, didn't jive with me. Also this copy ends with a "excercise to heal the teeth" where you just think about your teeth to fix them. Seems like a weird an abrupt way to end your book..
 
 


A Court Of Mist And Fury
by Sarah J. Maas


Ok, this was excellent
 
 


The Madness of Crowds
by Louise Penny


This is a wonderful book dealing with the aftermath of COVID. It takes place in “three Pines” a factitious place in Quebec # 17 in her series. Each book stands alone but has the background stories in bits and pieces. It deals with allowing others to say their piece even when one does not agree with them. Has a lot to do with loyalty of friendship, families and the difficulties that can bring to a situation and relationship. Great book.

How To Win Friends And Influence People (self-improvement Series)
by Dale Carnegie


I hear about this book a lot. I am a bit of a people pleaser and I find I'm having more and more confrontational interactions with people, sometimes even strangers. I'm interested to learn ways to handle these situations with grace and humour and kindness, without blowing up or getting defensive or feeling like a doormat. I also read that it was like a guide to manipulate people, so I wanted to read it to make sure I am not being manipulated by every jerk who read this book. It's great though! If I am being manipulated, great! These "manipulations" are so nice. Be kind, be curious about other people, listen more than talk, compliments over condemnation and try to always see from the others point of view. Appeal to people's most noble values. Find out what they're interested in. These are all pretty obvious things but it gave me a little boost of inner confidence knowing I already do many of these things in life. Or maybe that's what Dale Carnegie wants me to feel so he can sell more books.. damn it! Jokes on him, it's a library book. Anyway this was great and the anecdotes were very interesting to me. It's kind of written like you're a big fat cat businessman wanting to become a better fatcat businessman but I feel like it's more like permission to be a nice person and know you're not being naive, but powerful, and making people feel that too. Pleasently surprised by how much I enjoyed this bokk
