Walking: Weight Loss Motivation: Lose Weight, Burn Fat & Increase Metabolism (Walking, Walking to Lose Weight, Walking For Weight Loss, Workout Plan, Burn Fat, Lose Weight)Walking: Weight Loss Motivation: Lose Weight, Burn Fat & Increase Metabolism by April Stride

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As Spring showers and breezes swirl their way into our lives, I am getting excited about getting outside and back on the walks that I took when I first got to this town. With no car and no door-to-door mail, walking is necessary. But during the colder parts of the Winter, when my fibro reared its ugly head my walks faded into the background. And I am in no way ready for 5-mile round trips. So I thought this book would be a good place for inspiration.

It was. It was a quick read. It was clearly written with motivation blooming from every page. It didn’t assume that the reader was either physically fit or couch potato. It covered a comprehensive, step-by-step method to get everyone out and walking, whether for pleasure or extreme sports (marathons).

What was missing and what I was hoping to find were illustrations of stretches and other exercises for warm-ups and cool-downs. The author did include verbal instructions, but I needed to see. I’m a visual learner and, well, a picture is worth a thousand –well, you know the saying.

I plan to keep this book downloaded on my devices so that I can refer back quickly as I get back into the routine.

Rangeela Tales- Book 3Rangeela Tales- Book 3 by Gita V. Reddy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Disclaimer: I received this book for an honest review. Much of this review I used in the review for book 2 but it applies to this book 3, also.

When I got my version of the book, it didn’t come with the front cover. I’m seeing it here on GoodReads and Amazon first. I love it! It perfectly shows what the book is about.

Two things about the second and the first book that I don’t like: the girl is mean, the cat is deadly… and he looks like my cat. There are so few books of great adventure where the girl is the main character. I can understand that it started with educators wanting to get boys involved in reading, but leaving girls out or making them the bad people doesn’t help raise girls who are assertive.

But those two things don’t detract from my five-star rating. Maybe because of reading this and the next book straight through. The cousin, the girl, becomes a better person and the cousins start to enjoy the adventures together by this the third book.

AND because I read these last two books in a row, I can’t distinguish each book. So I have written very similar reviews for both of them. The first thing I want to say is how I think this series would make up into a wonderful television series either animated or real actors. Sometimes as the bird is talking I am hearing Mr. Ed speaking. It would be great for the Saturday Morning line-up.

Meanwhile, these three books are great for read-alouds, bedtime or otherwise. Many educational moments could come from parents reading these with their children. The books are written in such a way that the students could read them to themselves. After the first book introduces where the characters live and their living situations, the things that are different than the average American lifestyle would be dismissed and the reader moves into the story with the main character.

What I liked best is the last little bit in the books teaching us all about parrots and Rangeela’s type in particular. It sure makes me want a parrot of my own, even if it wouldn’t have the intelligence of Rangeela, parrots are pretty smart!

Great job, Gita V. Reddy! These were fun books!
