Keto Reset Diet Book: a review

If you leave with nothing else: the print version which I received was hard to read from a visual standpoint. The columns are too wide, but the information is golden and reflects what I've learned about Keto elsewhere.

 When I ordered "The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson with Brad Kearns" I was expecting an easy read that excited me to dive into more information about a lifestyle I was already familiar with. It looks friendly at first and has awesome recipes I have yet to get around to trying at the back. The cover is amazing and everything about the book as an object is amazing. 

 And then I started reading it. The first page of each chapter is set up nicely, the columns are spaced well and its easy to buzz through, and then you turn the page and it's a ginormous block of text with no end in sight. Giving myself until the chapter break occurs to finish a section is a nightmare as I read before bed, and the chapters are too long. 

 It's also hard to get very scientific when there's studies to prove every side of an argument has all of their points. All the information I've gathered from my history shows that the Keto diet is an amazing lifestyle, but getting all your information from this book is a hard call. Any scientific explanation doesn't feel backed up securely and it's all going to end up being how someone utilizes the information for themselves. 

 My Advice to anyone who's considering getting this - get the Ebook version. The width of the columns made this hard to read so the hard copy is really only the best form for the recipes. If you were going to store the recipes online regardless, just jump to the ebook. 
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

How to Set a Table : a book review

How to Set a Table is a quaint little book that was published by POTTER STYLE, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, but oddly enough doesn't credit any author on any of the standard pages. Much digging into the fine print on the very last informative page tells us that Chloe Lieske wrote it - but trying to find this book using her name doesn't show up readily in search results, as though she was discredited and only there to write up a joint collective voice. The book itself is textured in such a way from the burlap style of the cover, that it turns itself into a nice piece to display around your house. How to Set a table is extremely visual and easy to read over - but putting everything mentioned into practice is significantly harder if you're not a specific kind of person. If you don't have nice dinnerware of either porcelain, earthenware or stoneware of varied sizes and shapes along with diff...

Leading Lady: Sherry Lansing and the Making of a Hollywood Groundbreaker - a review

I picked up Leading Lady: Sherry  Lansing  and the Making of a Hollywood  Groundbreaker  by  Stephen Galloway  without  any knowledge of Sheryl Lansing or what she had worked on.  But here was a confident woman on the front of a  book with raving reviews on  Sheryl at the back (rather than the  common reviews on the book itself).    My  experience with reading this  book was one of  inspiration, when her story began to pick  up. I started and put the book  down at least three times, telling myself to just get through it, because  even a poor story  deserves   the second chance opportunity, and for me it really did need that struggle through reading a few of the chapters.  It really doesn't pick up until chapter 4/5 and with such long chapters it's hard to say someone will sit with the story long enough to get caught in it.    When you understand that Sherry ...

Friends, in number- response

Friends can be defined as many things. When we think of the word "friend" we think first of a favored companion we enjoy to spend time with. Still, a friend could just be an acquaintance. I used to get confused between the two, but if you are indecisive of what to call them, why not just assume they are both? It may not be important to have many friends, being the kind you'll arrange meetings, play around and call whenever something comes up, but it is important to have a lot of acquaintances, or as some might think, future relations. To put a number on friends is as though you're putting a number on a person. I would rather not associate faces with numbers or positions. A friend is a friend and an acquaintance an acquaintance. Maybe the number of these "friends" don't mean anything because I would not take time to count up how many people have affected me in some way, shape or form. My own definition of friend is loose, and from a young age ...
