What once was Mine

 

What Once was Mine By Liz Braswell

I am excited to be listening to the twisted tale series again and this book was next. The way it started out was a little confusing at first. With a brother and sister in a hospital rom while she received her chemo treatment. But I thought it was endearing that the story of Rapunzel was told to the sister by the brother in his own version of the story. What a version it was too. Instead of being healed by the Sun drop flower, it was the moon drop flower that was found. This gave Rapunzel's hair a whole new form of magic that makes things more complicated. I don't want to reveal any spoilers so if you would like a different Rapunzel story I recommend this book.

It Happened in Utah

 

It Happened in Utah By: Gayen Wharton

I found this at my local library, I have been wanting to learn more about the history of Utah for awhile, I know a lot regarding rather large events and such. But there are a few small towns or ghost towns that I've always been interested in learning its history. I thought this book might be a good start. At first I will admit the author came a ross as unprofessional in regards to written as a history and even seemed rather biased at times for a historian. But the more I read it changed and I was able to learn a lot from towns that I either have lived in or live near by, and much more.

Out of the Shadows

 

Out of the Shadows Understanding Sexual Addiction. By: Patrick Carnes, Ph.D.


I read this book as a request from my husband and his therapist. It was very insightful and helped me to understand a little more about sexual addiction and the stigma behind it. It also helped me to understand how this addiction can have an impact on the family and those that are associated with the addicted party. It was very difficult to read as most self help books are but very insightful.
