Dare to go Bear

 

 

 
The only problem with self-help books is they often dictate life changes that are almost impossible to put into practice.  But these books sell because they help keep us on the path we need to follow. 

With that disclaimer in mind, you'll want to get a copy of The 12 BAD Habits That Hold GOOD People Back (aka Maximum Success) by James Waldroop and Timothy Butler - even if you only read the chapter headings.  The learned professors have worked with the leaders of major companies and know their stuff.  Now it's your turn to benefit from their advice.    Nancy

 

If a book you're looking for is out of print, click on any link to Amazon Books Home Page, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, or Alibris to find out if it is available as a used book. 

Mini Book Review List 

Mysteries often seem to be part of a series whether or not the author intended to continue the adventures of the hero from day one.  Iris Collier has written Day of Wrath in this way, and I'm hoping for #2.  In the meantime, this mixture of royalty, religion and Renaissance whodunit will have to do.  Nancy

 

 

If I ever open a actual bricks and mortar shop, it will either have books or antiques because I like things with a history.  Lyn Hamilton makes it sound so easy in her series about a Toronto antiques dealer who (surprise!) solves mysteries, but odds are I'll settle for shop keeping vicariously through Hamilton's hero.  Nancy

PS  Though why anyone would want to go into business with her ex is really beyond me.  Ah fiction.

PPS  Begin with The Xibalba Murders.

Dare to go Bear

 

 

There is a lot of so-so historical fiction floating around, but Sharon Kay Penman consistently delivers highly readable and wonderfully complex novels about the late Middle Ages in England and Wales.  That makes her a treasure.  And now she's writing a medieval mysteries.  I am a major fan, and I can guarantee you will be also.   Nancy

Island life in Maine is less than a remote possibility for most of us, but gosh darn, murder happens even in Atlantic havens.

The Home Repair is Homicide series by Sarah Graves (such a good name for a mystery writer) takes place amidst the even present upkeep that older homes demand.  While I, who will be installing my first porcelain tile floor as soon as I write this mini-review, haven't picked up any useful tips from Graves' books, I do enjoy both her locale and her plots.  Begin with Triple Witch.  Nancy

 

 

No century to date was as well documented as the 20th, and Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Schlesinger has contributed heavily to our body of knowledge.  His personal story, A Life in the 20th Century, both fascinates and illuminates.  Nancy

 

How about some good prehistorical fiction?  Judith Tarr has written a fascinating series of early Bronze age/earth mother goddess books that begin with White Mare's DaughterIf you like books by Joan Wolf or Jean Auel, you will definitely enjoy Tarr's.   Nancy
