Nancy Furstinger
BowTie Press, 2007
Humorous, Enjoyable Reading
Read this book if you like dogs as much as you like people. This "tongue in jowl" book if full of enjoyable quips about the beauty of dogs.
In this dog-eat-dog world, it is nice to have a light, quick read, which is very funny. Wonderful for the coffee table or bedroom. I find myself continually flipping it open to read about something a dog will do to charm and amuse you.
The author has ...

A Gift of the Spirit
You don't have to be a screenwriter to enjoy and embrace Sally Merlins musings. Ms. Merlins compilation of personal anecdotes and philosophical musings is truly a gift of the spirit and a must read for all writers in all disciplines. Be prepared though, to learn the business and the magic of writing along with a thing or two about yourself. Musings manages to find

The Other Side of Thirty: Musings of a Modern Day Bachelor Gal24 reviews
M. A. Thakor
Xlibris Corporation, 2001
Fun, wise and incredibly well researched!
Ms. Thakor just wowed me. I bought the book after a mutual colleague told me about it. Actually I bought several copies actually, thinking it would be a good gift for my growing list of "singelton" friends. I was expecting a Bridget Jones-like approach with a few clever adaptations, I was delighted to be wrong! I loved the more modern medium of email instead of a diary to impart the interesting ...

Musings of a Missionary Mom6 reviews
Jayne P. Bowers
AuthorHouse, 2006
A lovely and inspiring book
Jayne Bowers,a college professor, has written an intelligent, lovely and inspiring book. Unlike many college professors, Bowers is not blinded to the things of faith and the heart. She has taken scripture from the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, and the LDS church's Doctrine and Covenants and applied them, often brilliantly, to her own life. One does not have to be a ...

Thoughts for Thought: Meditations, Musings & Poems for the Inner Life5 reviews
Rachel Elaine
Infinity Publishing, 2004
Review- by author-C.Gale Perkins
Thoughts For Thought was written by Rachel Elaine and is, no pun intended, a very thought provoking book. One thought that really spoke to me in the book is --Teardrops are the delicate raindrops on the soul's flower.-- I found this to be very powerful for me and put a lot of my tears into perspective. The poem Memories also spoke to my heart. This is a book that should be read by anyone who is ...

Life's a journey not a destination
At the end of ones life all we can hope for is having made a positive contribution to this world we live in.... So that when it's our time to go, we leave this world a better place than how we fond it....
This book is such an example, as a group of cyclists commit to something larger than themselves and strive to make a difference in their lives and in the people around them....

Haiku Therapy: Some Random Thoughts and Musings4 reviews
T.A. Korba
AuthorHouse, 2005
Pleasure from a common sense to life
This book is for those of us who are not very spiritual or inward thinkers. Where other books of this nature have failed, Mr. Korba's writings have touched that inner part of me which seldom see the light of day. His words flow like a symphony from verse to verse, a verse or two like that morning cup of coffee. Such a treat.

Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man6 reviews
Harry Gilleland
Lulu.com, 2008
Very Insightful!
From the title, one would think that "Poetic Musings from an Old Fat Man" is strictly humorous. But in reality this is not the case. Sure, there are several poems within the collection that will make you laugh, but there are others that will evoke different types of emotions, whether it's happiness, sadness or even anger. I myself became emotional at the poem "A Soldier's Death." Why? Well, ...
