Dark Detours & Strange Journeys With Mystical Aliens
From Dark To Light Belinda’s personal story reads part psychic drama meets Hollywood horror movie. Our suggestion, is that Ms. Belinda immediately secure rights to a screenplay and sell it immediately. Otherwise, if you’re curious about chakras, and how to heal them, this is a wonderful introduction. Each chakra is broken down in-depth, including how they influence and impact your life. Additionally, there is a 30-minute transcript of the healing meditation Belinda uses with her clients. You can purchase the audio version on her website, which probably is easier than having to memorize 10 pages of the meditation. Follow Your Detour Everyone has plans, but not everyone grows up to…

Sweet & Twisted Bitches
Sorry for the delay folks. The holidays were a busy time for me, so I’m finally back catching up! Hope your holidays were a blast and Happy New Year! Sweet Girl If you like cooking shows, you’ll find yourself cheering throughout this book. This is a “sweet” romance (no pun intended) but rather a romance without the sex scenes. But don’t write this one off as a lame read just yet. The main character has a secret she’s hiding, which has carried over into all aspects of her life. The plot is pretty predictable but worth an afternoon read if you’re not looking for anything too heavy or serious. …

Unf*cking Myself, Casting Spells, & Chasing Rich Men.
October Book Haul Rising Strong Stories, we all tell them, not just to our friends, but to ourselves. These “stories” stem from the unresolved hurts of our past, which eventually manifest in our adult lives. It’s a no-brainer how this happens. This book is about what “triggers” us, and how we respond both in the workplace, and at home. Academic, yet simple, Dr. Brown explains every typical “trigger” response in easy to understand language. I confess, I’m guilty of every response she mentions. What’s notable is her suggestion to use journaling as a self-introspective solution. I for one, do not like her journaling method, and prefer the use of my…

Litsy: A Mash-up of Instagram & Goodreads
Goodreads.com sucks. From it’s hideous brown (tan?) layout, to a mobile app that lacks creativity, coupled with a community that can either be friendly or hostile, it simply sucks. For years, I’ve struggled to update my list of books, and interact with friends there. For the record, Goodreads is a behemoth in the book catalog industry. It’s backed by Amazon and sports one of the largest online communities of book readers. I’ve never been a fan, nor had a say-so in joining them. I’m one of the readers who came along after the acquisition of Shelfari, Amazon’s now defunct version of what Goodreads is today. Shelfari was a wonderful creation,…
