Most children like the idea of having their own room.  They can be the Queen or King of their territory. However, when it comes to sleeping in their own bed having their own room doesn't have the same appeal to it. Getting a young child to sleep in their own bed can be very trying.  The Pillow Fairy by Marcia G. Riley is a great bedtime story that can get your child sleeping in her or his bed alone in no time.

Life is not Always What it Seems

When some people love, they love hard. Pride and how you want things to play put in your life can become your downfall. These are both realities in the real world. We might know of someone who has these qualities. What's even more painful is knowing someone who has these qualities and they are gradually falling deeper and deeper into an abusive relationship, and the only way out is when they decide enough is enough. Bait & Switch by Lisa Carlson tells of true life events of falling in love with someone and in the blink of an eye you have to walk on eggshells to survive.

Where's All My Stuff

When I was in elementary school I would lay out all of my clothes that I was going to wear to school the night before so I could get some extra sleep and so I did not have to wake up looking for things. This plan worked out great as long as I actually did it. For the days that I forgot to lay out my clothes, it was very hectic in the morning. It was a mad dash to try and find  and put everything on so I would not be late to school. If your child can relate to this experience, Morning Magic by Giles Smith is the book for them.

The Mind and Body Are Equal

In life doctor visits are inevitable and a variety of things can happen that are out of your control that demands you to go see the doctor. Finding a doctor that truly listens to you and has your best interest at heart is a rarity. Many doctors follow the textbook procedure of diagnosing the problem and providing a temporary or permanent solution to said problem. However, misdiagnosis is very common and can be life threatening. Symptoms Of Unknown Origin A Medical Odyssey by Clifton K. Meador, M.D. conveys through a series of stories how important it is for medical personnel to truly listen to what their patients have to say.

Life can truly be experienced in a multitude of ways. Food can ignite all of the senses and impart the same amount of knowledge as if you are going after your second doctorate. Crafting has the ability to allow you to feel the seasoning of life through your hands. Books are not only the window to the world, but they are also the window into the depths of people souls. J.C. Hallman handsomely displays in B & Me A True Story Of Literary Arousal, how literature can connect the dots in your life and take you places that you would have never imaged.

Reading a books can be exciting, fun, and rewarding. But taking a step back and exploring the question 'Why do I read' cam lead to some fascinating facts about yourself and the way literature is presented to the masses. This exploration would no doubt be more penetrating to a Professor of Literature. The commentary in  B & Me A True Story Of Literary Arousal is not uptight, snotty, or uncomfortable. You will be able to relate to the author on so many levels.

"That kind of communication, intimate and intended to generate physiological reaction, is exactly how reading once was and ought to be, but no longer is." This quote is the nucleus of the entire book. Hallman reaches a point in his life where his passion for literature is depleting and being challenged throughout this daily life.  Reminiscing on the intensity of love he once had for reading, he begins to question what were these feelings all about. Through his lengthy knowledge of authors and books Hallmman examines his hate of new age literature, his indifference to the culture of literature, and his new found love and understanding of literature.

I am not an avid reader, but  B & Me A True Story Of Literary Arousal has sparked and interest in me to learn about peoples lives through their passions and has made me examine my own live through my passion. I would highly recommend reading this book. You will be thoroughly entertained from beginning to end.

Getting lost in a book is the most wonderful feeling ever. You feel so connected to all of the characters and the situations that arise seem as though they are happening directly to you. Finding a great book is truly a gem worth having and sharing.

You will be instantly transported to the holy city of Varanasi, India. The descriptiveness of the buildings, temples, people, animals, shops, and river will leave you with the feeling that you have visited Varanasi before. Knowledge of the day today cultural life will be explored into great detail. Also, being that Varanasi is the holy city, spirituality and rituals will be focused heavily throughout this entire book. Through the eyes & lives of travelers, professionals, and natives  you will experience this city. 

The epicenter of this story takes place at the Saraswati Guest House that is located on the banks of the holy river Ganges. The Ganges river is where life and death congregate. Life on the Ganges will be vividly told through the inhabitants of this Guest House; Natraja (innkeeper/American), Ramesh (native), Jill (professional/ traveler), T.J (professional), & Marie (traveler). You will gain a deep understanding of each characters personality, past, and current state of mind.

The murder of a Muslim and a retaliatory murder of 3 Hindis will forever change the experiences of all who are at the Saraswati Guest House.
