Hougoumont
After the engagement, they were in haste to bury the dead bodies. Death has a fashion of harassing victory, and she causes the pest to follow glory. The typhus is a concomitant of triumph. This well was deep, and it was turned into a sepulchre. Three hundred dead bodies were cast into it. With too much haste perhaps. Were they all dead? Legend says they were not. It seems that on the night succeeding the interment, feeble voices were heard calling from the well.

The Enchanted Compass
Once upon a time in a quaint village nestled at the foot of a towering mountain, lived a young girl named Elara. She possessed an insatiable curiosity that often led her to the edge of the forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the air was tinged with enchantment. The villagers often warned her against venturing too far into the woods, for tales of mystical creatures and hidden dangers were woven into their shared history.

A title that should be unforgettable
Flash back to 2013 here I am walking the path in Santa Monica California looking out at the beach. Mind you I was at the part where there is a cliff and a railing blocking you from falling off. You have a nice vantage point of the whole beach, and a beautiful view of sunset from there. Walking in the direction of the pier, I noticed a book left on the top of the fence. Seeing nobody around, I grab the book and began to read.

Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things.
There are books in my library, such that it is, which have held within them excitement, knowledge, curiosity and anguish. There are books between whose covers I have found yearning, disgust, loyalty and contempt. There are many which have brought pleasure, a few with the strange gift of boredom, and some, just a handful, which have changed my life. Not in the way that all things do, each new experience making minor adjustments, but in the way that shows, decades later, in the makeup of my world. The first of these are lost to me. I am told I was besotted with a particular ABC, and the illustrations of Shirley Hughes continued throughout my own children’s early years, to resemble my idealised family life to a suspicious degree. The Maggie B, by Irene Haas may well underscore my concept of cosy, and I dare say the smallfolk I nearly glimpse beneath the trees in dappled sunlight have been seen first on a page, from the haven of my mother’s lap. One, likely some, of these early books has changed my life, turning me into a reader and lover of stories before I can remember otherwise. But I want to talk here about the first clear memory, the lucid revelation, of the world I build my life in.

The Prompt Write about a book that changed you. Read more about this here I chose the title, a question mark because I don't know the title of the book that had the biggest influence on my life. I don't know the name of the book but I think it was a French translation. There was a dog called "Socks", that, as far as I know, is not an English pet name.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project and Research for Advanced Practice Nurses
The next two textbook reviews are 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project' and 'Research for Advanced Practice Nurses'. In the first textbook to be reviewed it is mainly describing what a terminal graduate degree in nursing is all about. 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project A Framework for Success' is written by three women who are Katherine Moran, Rosanne Burson, and Dianne Conrad. As said above this is a book for students who are studying for a terminal graduate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. The students may already be nurse practitioners but who want to do more for their patients or clients. This is a book that covers what the Doctor of Nursing Practice is all about from the history and the why nurses become doctor practitioners.

A Book with No Name
I don't remember the name of my book. Which I know is a rather strange thing to say about a book that made such an impact on my life. This one taught me a lot of lessons though, not all of them good ones. Not all of them about myself either.

A Change of Fate
When I was younger, I was an avid reader. I was reading whole series within a week, sometimes a day if I was left alone enough. At this point in time in my life, I was eleven years old. We had a reading program in school called Accelerated Reading, where you would read books within your reading level, and you take a small test on them on the computer to get points in return to see how well you comprehended the book you had just read.
