Ewen Chia, the author of How I Made My First Million, put together a well planned, easily understood method of making money online. With little experience on the technical side of internet marketing I wasn’t sure what to expect or knew if I should tackle his book but I did and am thankful for it.

While I wasn’t able to comprehend everything he advised of doing, Chia had me scribbling some ideas down in a notebook before the first chapter ended and continuing to do so throughout. I now have plenty of ideas and less excuses for not putting them into effect and am on my way to making a significant income through the internet.

I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they have a plan or idea that want to make money with. Ewen Chia tells his remarkable story and helps you achieve your own success to that you can tell yours!

A book featured in the video The Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, is only the beginning of the three classics contained in The Science of Success. It’s classics also include The Science of Being Well and The Science of Being Great.

Although I found it somewhat difficult to read I made my way through every chapter and feel enlightened for doing so. The Certain Way, I realize, is relevant in all three and can be easy to achieve. I am, however, most skeptical and yet most curious about The Science of Being Well.

I previously believed that I questioned every concept presented to me but understood, during the reading of Being Well, I hadn’t questioned enough. It seems I trusted everything up until I graduated as my “formal” education was what everyone needed – or so I thought.

Now I ponder who decided what it was we all needed to know in order to get our diploma. Why do we have to follow the Canadian Food Guide to be healthy and not someone else’s strategy?

I know who I am and do see who I will become, a lesson taught in The Science of Being Great. I will pass this along as I am convinced a positive attitude and smiles are contagious and make the world a great place to live in.

Having heard such rave reviews regarding Meyer’s Twilight series I was an anxious to read her books as I was the well-known and loved Harry Potter series. Any book or series that has the young generation wanting to read has my attention.

The trouble with both the Harry Potter and Twilight series is their fantasy genre (which I say loosely). With so many other books on my shelf I couldn’t bear the thought of forcing myself to read a genre I don’t absolutely love.

When I saw The Host, Stephenie Meyer’s novel for adults, I wanted to read it but couldn’t justify it’s purchase. When I received it as a Christmas present I was more than delighted and put it on my list of immediate reads.

When I was able to get to it I did so with an open mind knowing it’s genre was not a typical one for me.

Diving in I had to say I struggled getting through the first 60 or so pages. I ventured on, bargaining with myself that I would make it to 100 pages and if I still wasn’t enjoying it I would stop. I soon found myself caring about the main characters, Melanie and Wanderer, and their welfare so I kept going past page 100. When I became accustomed to putting the book down, reading others and dreading trying to get back into the book I knew it was time to move on.

I have to clarify:
- I’m not a fantasy/ science fiction nor vampire fan
- I’d recommend this book to any who is
- I completely respect and admire any author who becomes a bestseller quickly, especially with children’s and young adult’s books
- I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read The Host

I normally would/ do not write reviews on books I don’t finish, simply because I’m an author myself and want each one of my readers to finish the book before making up their mind. I do not expect any fan of her work or anyone new to Meyer’s work to take this rant personally.

I still do have the book and will soon have one year off so may be able to read the rest of The Host then. If I do, I’ll update you on my opinion to see if it has changed.

Catching up on older Coben books has proven to be incredibly quick and easy. This author, with even his less impressive books, blows me away with each and every turn.

No Second Chance had me distraught from the very beginning – literally. The title had me wondering where my life would be if I was never given a second chance and it’s thoughts disturbed me. I had to read the rest and, although I didn’t find it on the same magnificent level as the ones I’ve read previous, it was one of the best novels I’ve ever read.

Marc, this novels main character, was left for dead and when he pulled through things got even worse.

His wife murdered, their 6 month old daughter disappeared, someone non-descriptive picking up the ransom – all Marc had to live for was disappearing and fast.

Repairing physical features of strangers while his own life was in shambles, Marc pulled through somehow but was left wondering it it’s the wrong thing for the right reason or the other way around.

Harlan Coben is an author that the owner of Cover to Cover Books in Riverview, NB recommended and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

Promise Me followed previously introduced character, Myron Bolitar, through his personal trauma of asking a friend’s daughter to promise him she would call if she was ever in trouble. A simply innocent approach to avoiding a teenager driving with another drunk driver this led into much more than Myron ever expected.

Soon the teenage girl took Myron up on his offer and called him. She ensured, above all else, that he would not tell anyone of the phone call or the favour he acted on for her and so he kept his word.

Coben, a master of mystery, led me to believe the guilty were everyone I didn’t think of. Taking each character to be a vital piece of the story line I knew he would surprise me but, having read a work of his before, I tried desperately to fit some pieces together before being shocked. It didn’t work and he got me again.

Let Harlan Coben intrigue and surprise you; pick up a copy of Promise Me today and see how a simple favour can turn into such an intricately weaved masterpiece.
