Art History 101 Without the Exams
'Art History 101 Without the Exams' is an academic textbook that is written by Annie Montgomery Labatt. This is a textbook that to me read just like a novel. The book starts out looking at prehistoric art all the way to modern art. The technical format of the book is fine print on glossy pages, but still easy to read. The images in the book are bright and vivid and shows the reader what the artists saw and did during the times of their lives.

The Unyielding Truth
In the heart of Metropolisville, a city renowned for its towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, there existed a peculiar government office known as the Department of Veracity. Despite its grandiose name, the department was infamous for harboring a culture of corruption that ran deeper than the ink in its bureaucrats' pens.

Leviticus. Content Warning.
'The Book of Leviticus' is another classic piece of literature that was written by a very wise person. It is the story of rules and very important laws that we all must follow in order to achieve a oneness with ourselves and to bring understanding to all people no matter the details. It is again another well-detailed account on how one should be living life in so many ways.

Numbers. Content Warning.
'Numbers' a book written by an old, wise person. This is the story of how we should be accountable in all that we say and do. It is a very descriptive text on how we all 'spend' our time and to make sure we are doing it for the right reasons. It is very detailed for there are many lists and it does seem to repeat but that is only to get you to remember the 'Why'.

The Exodus. Content Warning.
'The Exodus' another book written by a great man. This is the story of voyage in search of the perfect land. In it we learn about the sacrifices that our ancient ancestors had to give up and learn ideas in a different way. It is also a story of families.

My Coworker, Death. Top Story - November 2023.
Death and I work very closely, but never together I see death in passing about once a week, but we've never actually met. For most people death is an obscure thought, something that rarely crosses the mind. For others, it is the prominent shadow that runs past our peripherals. Tonight, death worked over time. He was not a blur that ran past as I was turning away, but was a prominent shadow in the room I stood in and the floor beneath me. I didn't see him at first, he's easy to miss if you want to. My focus was on the muddy veins of my patient's right arm, attempting to finagle one last good one to draw from. It was never my forte, but when I did get it, I enjoyed watching the smooth red liquid collect into the tubes; the simple movement of it was relaxing to me in a sense. It was a reward, an earning for my blind pokes that eventually caught what I was looking for.

Jig Gets Lost
'Jig Gets Lost' is a children's picture book created by Julia Kneeland and Rachael Budd. Who doesn't like a good animal story. 'Jig Gets Lost' is a picture book that should make readers want a puppy. Julia writes a story about a little puppy named Jig and his day in the neighborhood and his adventures. Julia is a writer and a teacher and says this is for beginning readers and has chosen primary type for easy reading. Rachael has created pictures that are vivid and realistic images in her work. There could be lessons on community workers, what makes a family, and even teach geography in a way. It is also a good book that shows emotions in ways.

Walk with Me
'Walk with Me' is a children's picture book written by Stacey Tucker and Tonnja Kopp. This is quite the relaxing read for it is a trip through the flora and fauna and paying a visit to all that are presented. It is a picture book that shows and tells how relaxing and wondrous nature can be for all who partake. Stacey and Tonnja wrote this picture book to teach readers about nature and show how soothing nature can be. This would be a good book to induce relaxation skills from young children clear through to the elderly. It is like taking a walk through the woods.
