Hand Lettering Art Set and Project Book - Gabi Joy Kirkendall and Jaclyn Escalena

I got this as an ebook, if you get the physical copy you get the book, 12 artist markers, and drawing pencil. This book includes artist's tips and shows different types of fonts. It is not much and not the entire alphabet for that style. Each shows common style elements. Sows defining characteristics of the different types of typography – art deco and coastal are just two of the styles. Some show the history of the style and writing. It talks about the style as well, not just show you what the letters could look like. 3D techniques, flourishes, and other techniques are shown. The book is a good start off point if you want to branch out in your writing style or artwork or craft.

Get Money Kristin Wong

Instead of saying it is in parts, it is in stages. The reading can and most likely to go through all three stages. It is more of a personal finance book. Within the book, exercises/assignments are places for the reader to do. It gives space within the book where you can write in it. You do not have to write in the book but it is an option. On the website, www.thegetmoneybook.com in the introduction, states you can find the assignments and worksheets to print out, video tutorials and more. There are pro talk sections, different interviews with personal finance and behavioral experts. Has the end of chapter points. Talks about setting goals – like saving for a trip or paying off student debt. SMART acronym – specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based. How this process can be helpful throughout the book and life outside the book. Also talking about frugal, budget, emergency funds, credit inquiries. At times the points are focused on an American audience but can be generally looked at by other people outside of America.

Fix Freeze feast Kati Neville and Lindsay Ahrens

A cookbook, one that is helpful for those who want meal plan a week or two in advance. Information about planning and prepping your kitchen. The recipe set is basically the same for each one. It states the ingredients, how to make, then to cook the freezer meal and on hand for cooking each meal and pack it up items. There are different categories of chicken main dishes, beef main dishes, beverages, and others. There are images of the recipes to show you what they would look like when you make them. Feast tonight meals – light colour background. Recipes have some information about an ingredient or authors history with the dish. The recipes do seem pretty easy to do so it is not that hard for people to do one day a week and bring it out later. Reference at the back and shelf life of the items. And there is a freezer inventory template at the back.

365 Ways to Live Generously - Sharon Lipinski

This is set up in weeks, week 1 to 51, not days like other books that have the same concept that I have read. I am used to the books going from January 1 to December 31. But this one takes the week approach. It will go week one day one and so on. In the books, each week comes attached with one of the seven habits the author stated at the beginning of the book. They are physical health, mindfulness, relationships, connecting with yourself, gratitude, simplicity, and philanthropy. On the day it will state the habit, a quote, talks about what it is that day, and practice. Most of the practice is journal work. This book is still just as interesting as other 365 books. It does make you think of you can do and do better. Some of the days connect to other days. It will be like, 'back on day 8...' or something similar to that. There is a year in review for each habit. Simplicity is divided into a few categories in itself. There is a charity evaluation worksheet. There is no conclusion, it goes straight to the table and sheet. The index is divided into the habits.

Toxic Home Conscious Home Dr Rob Brown

This book has three parts, twelve chapters total. Each chapter talks about the realm of the home, as well as water, air, and food that come into your home and body. It is very informative and well researched. Much of the information is recent – between 2010 and 2017. The writing can be easily understood by the reader. Has figures/images like a table of different plastics. Talks about different types of water, what is in our air, our food and the products we contain and cook with. Small talk about cleaning and personal care. Energy and spirit we put into the home also have an effect and it briefly talks about it.

Self-Sufficiency Handbook By Alan and Gill Bridgewater

First part of the book is about the land and using it. It holds information about the advantages and disadvantages of living in the country, animals and going abroad. The second part goes into the self-sufficient house. They go into a little bit of three different types of homes – passive, high-tech and the natural house. They go into different heating and cooking options. The advantages and disadvantages are in list form and not in paragraphs and are not overly explained. you get the point, and if you want to know more you can get another book on the topic. Tells what would be a poor or good choice in firewood. The book does have images and diagrams to show things talked about – like solar tubes. There is a slight focus on alternate power sources. Part three goes into a food garden. It talks about common wild food, soil care, saving rainwater and so on. There is an A to Z section of vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Part four goes into animal husbandry and part five is about the pantry. Talking about different animals you could keep. And making different foods and doing different things – drying mushrooms and smoking cheese.

As a complete guide, it does go into a whole variety of things. If it did explain everything, it would be a lot longer. But it is a good start to have a look at the different things out there. It is a good starting point.
