For: Let Me Tell You about Jasper . . .: How My Best Fr...

Let me tell you about JASPER !

This is a totally different account written by Dana Perino and her husband Peter... Unlike bland non-sentimental and non-inspiring book of " Everything will be O.K", this is a hilarious, loving and personable book by the same individual ! To which Everyone in the room will enjoy and laugh and cry inside, sometimes, when our best friend leave us for eternity. Even though the breed of Jasper, the Dog, is not pretty but he is never the less adorable and intelligent through his sad face and trickery !

For: The Love Stories of the Bible Speak

Loving stories from the Bible, Jewish and Christian.

A very thoughtful narration on why (and How) to love a human body and mind. Lectures on the past, legendary (or fairy tales) and now, in the 21-st Century. And be gracious, respectful and understanding of it in your presence as it is a true Art that G-d and Nature had created for you to adore, understand and be privileged to have and to enjoy it to its full measure and capacity to implement and to adorn your own life ! That also raises your own status in the eyes of all others ! Wonderfully written and understood !

For: Everything Will Be Okay: Life Lessons for Young Wo...

Everything will be O.K.

Dana Perino is a nice and experienced and well-spoken woman-analyst on Fox News TV channel... She speaks well...But she aint a writer. Period ! Her book on life lessons are pretty bland, uninteresting, besides marrying her English Gentleman.... No concrete samples of her educating (or advising) to younger women: it's just talking, talking without actual samples of who she had truly spoken to and what were the factual & actual substance of those conversation.s ... Not informative narration, what soever.

For: The light within me

The story of Ainsley Earhardt.

She records the failure of her marriage(s) here, but again, doesn't assume any personal responsibilities for those, nor learning lessons to become a better person in marital or human men-women relationships, at least. It is immature and prideful account, to begin with. Bragging constantly about her "virtues" as a human being. Failures in her marriages didn't teach her to be responsible and a grown human being, as she constantly tries to prove on paper, that she was "a good girl" as if she planned to stay a Girl of 5 years of age forever ! In order to Never needing to assume any responsibility of the adult life, forever... That is record that is immature and irritating, at once. Not a charming or a sincere account of one's life, at all.... I have read and was immensely inspired by the autobiographies of our great FOX News anchors and reporters such as our terrific Shannon Bream and Mrs. Donna Perino ! They both are examples of a great personal courage, inspiration and selfishness to each and to all of us ! I do not recommend this account to anyone, woman or a man...

For: Melania

MELANIA. A MELANIA TRUMP'S BIOLOGY & LIFE, As a young girl and a Married woman.

A wonderfully written story of a happy child, youth and an adult. Growing in a loving, supportive and productive family in Europe, with her great mother and father, both-highly educated and well-to- do people, who had instilled in their young beautiful daughter-Melania- an independence, hard-working etiquette and who allowed her the luxury of her own choice to live her own independent (financially) life & legacy and to make her own stamp in life choosing her own destination and higher purpose !

For: Black Saturday

Black Saturday.

It's a morally honest personal account by our Hero correspondent for Israel on the BLACK DAY of October Seventh of 2023, when menacing forces of Iran, Palestinians and hasbala agencies Stroke a war Attack against The Democratic Independent European State of Israel ! Mr. Yingst tells his narrative as He personally Experienced during this Uncalled Inhuman attack/war starting on the Black ( Darkest !) day of the Human History ! He, the author had experienced moral heroism and, also, as always in any war's history, a pity on the palestinians, who were dying as innocents, and served as a human shields for the Attackers themselves..... It's a unwritten law that people die, on all sides of warring countries... and/or Agencies and Groups. And it's impossible to warrant total shielding territory on which people can stay unharmed, for 100% in any war's zone. So, for those who had been there: be it simply observers or immediate forces, the situation is always scary and mind-changing, in horrible ways.

For: Cooking with friends

Cooking with friends by Carley Shimkus.

The recipes are much healthier and better, than Ones from the Doocys' books, but the stories of individuals in it: our favorite FOX News's staff, not great: very short and mostly, impersonal. Also-very short.

For: GHOSTS OF CROOK COUNTY: AN OIL FORTUNE, A PHANTOM...

Mind numbing

Wayyy too much detail for a casual interest in the Indian land allotment and the oil interests at stake. After reading Killers of the Flower Moon, I thought it would be interesting to learn more. But, the myriad of people involved and minute details of the conspiracy was mind numbing and confusing. Not a casual read!

For: The Christmas menorahs : how a town fought hate

Christmas Menorahs: How A Town Fought Hate- Excellent

First, the book's based on a true story of how the brave people in the small town of Billings MT most of whom were Christians, stood up against antisemitism. The book is a lesson in morality and courage and yet it is written for young people to read alone or better with their family. It is uplifting story about neighbors helping neighbors. It is a story of courage and humanity and love.
