Dr. Neal Barnard's Book on Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs
Dr. Neal Barnard’s Book on Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs by Neal D. Barnard
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This book was so informative and convincing that I decided to follow Dr. Barnard’s advice. I have now decided to go vegan/low fat. I was already vegetarian, had been for a couple decades now. But cheese and snacks have been my downfall every time I attempted vegan. I am determined to not fall down there again.

You see, I have fibromyalgia and have a lot of pain. Pain longs for comfort. I am going to have to pull on a soft-comfy blanket so that I don’t long for the bad foods. On top of that, I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so I have been testing my blood a lot. I wasn’t controlling the sugar levels my way. I refused to go back to eating meats or other dairy (milk/eggs) so giving up cheese and snack with oils is easy. Besides, Doctor Bernard suggests that it is possible to not exercise at first. So this is a test. 🙂

At first I borrowed this book through the library but I knew I needed to have my own copy. Then I bought the paperback. The font was to small, but the recipes in the second half of the book are great to have on hand in tree form and they are easy to read. But that wasn’t enough. I had to get the Kindle version so I could read it on my tablet where I could enlarge charts, etc. This book is a keeper in all forms!

What’s SUBMERGED about?

From the international bestselling author that brought you CHILDREN OF THE FOG comes a terrifying new psychological thriller that will leave you breathless…

“Submerged reads like an approaching storm, full of darkness, dread and electricity. Prepare for your skin to crawl.” –Andrew Gross, New York Times bestselling author of 15 Seconds

Two strangers submerged in guilt, brought together by fate…

After a tragic car accident claims the lives of his wife, Jane, and son, Ryan, Marcus Taylor is immersed in grief. But his family isn’t the only thing he has lost. An addiction to painkillers has taken away his career as a paramedic. Working as a 911 operator is now the closest he gets to redemption–until he gets a call from a woman trapped in a car.

Rebecca Kingston yearns for a quiet weekend getaway, so she can think about her impending divorce from her abusive husband. When a mysterious truck runs her off the road, she is pinned behind the steering wheel, unable to help her two children in the back seat. Her only lifeline is a cell phone with a quickly depleting battery and a stranger’s calm voice on the other end telling her everything will be all right.

Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison by Piper Kerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit that I picked up the hardback copy from the library after watching the series on Netflix. The tree version hurt my eyes to read so I went ahead and bought my own Kindle version. I’m glad I did. This book was worth every penny! I could listen to text-to-speech while I read. It might have been even better to have the audio-version with human voice but this was just fine.

The beginning was very satisfying as it mirrored the Netflix version. The book proceeded from there a little less raw. It did feel like Ms. Kerman was putting a good spin on her experience in prison. The Netflix version puts in a lot more drama. Which is the real version? I don’t know but I feel like it may fall somewhere in between. I think the Netflix may take other stories about prison life and show other things that may go on.

Piper Kerman’s writing kept me engaged and wanting to know what was happening next. I was impressed with her zen attitude and reserve while describing some of the horrid things that go on in prison life. Even though I am twice her age I could identify with feelings she eloquently expressed.

Everyone should read this book. Men and women alike, all ages and races. We can all appreciate the message and maybe help create a better world.
