I loved Strip Off Your Fear. This is a straight talking guide to being a woman. As women we hide behind so many things and we worry so much about how people think, it is just the way we are, and it hurts us. Betsy calls us on it and encourages us (not so subtly) to move past it. I truly loved it :)

I really enjoyed reading How To Be Remarkable by Colin Wright. It is basically a collection of short, easy to bite of chapters that talk about great truths for living an intentional life. A quick read, easy to put down and pick back up again. I love how ebooks don't have to add a bunch of fluff words to make a book....

Nice earphones but they don't last very long. I had them for 6 month now and the left earphone is not working anymore. That being said, I used them everyday for one to two hours. The sound is ok but not amazing. I would say it's a good purchase for the price you pay.

This author wastes no time getting to the meat of the story. In this case it is the dominated male, whose own meat is threatened in this story.

I was hoping for a good general history that might also be suitable for teens, etc. But it is both shallow and somewhat nationalistic, overall inferior to many others easily available. (see davies and zymoski)

Ospreys are short and sweet and the author's are some of the best; Vusik has long been my favorite illustrator - he really knows his subject. I research the history and present living history and I highly recommend this book.

its described as a hover disc but its a balloon with a bungi cord to keep it from floating away. Most disapointed! the real hoverdisc is a great and inspired toy, worth it even if excited kids bust it in a half hour. This one would survive because no kid would actally play with it.

very few and overly large gems. Perhaps it might fit some need but these were easily twice as large as I reasonabally expected. When something is bigger than the hope diamond I'm not even sure if "gem" is the right word.

I like the pair I got but the crossgaurds fell off almost instantly. That did not bother me much, otherwise I might have given one or two stars. Also rather heavy, ok for my need but I could see being unhappy about that too.

"Desert Survival Skills" is enjoyable to read and very informative.

The section on navigation is limited, but then the topic is desert survival, not land navigation. ...

"Wilderness Survival" is well written and an excellent book to motivate you to study further (and the author encourages this frequently), but as an instruction manual it is severely limited.
