Title: A to Z of Meshed Organization: Rebuild Organization Ab Initio 

Author: Jolly J Sen

Date of Publishing: 23 August 2020

Number of pages: 128 pages

ASIN: B08GKY7YK5

A to Z of Meshed Organization: Rebuild Organization Ab Initio is a treasure of the author Jolly J Sen’s years of experience in the corporate sector. 

He talks about several business solutions that can make firms ace their performance and productivity post-coronavirus lockdown. The 128-page-book has many practical ideas for businesses to implement. The tone of the work as well as the content is purely organizational. The many years of experience that author Jolly J Sen has in Operations plus Sales and Marketing is evident by his observations, which are practical as well as balanced. 

His ideas and technique to re-skill the workforce to adapt to the changing business environment are hopeful. Some of the suggestions seem a little far-fetched, currently. However, India is a fast-developing economy and our technical know-how is our pride. Once some of these technical aspects are enhanced with research and customer feedback, we will have a good idea as to how modern business can incorporate these suggestions. 

Author Jolly J Sen’s expertise is beyond doubt. His thoughtfulness to advance business organizations structurally and in turn, functionally is unquestionable. However, the effectiveness of all the ideas presented in A to Z of Meshed Organization: Rebuild Organization Ab Initio can be measured only over time. I would recommend the businesses, who wish to try out the suggestions, to probably begin with a small department with minimum collateral damage, check the effectiveness, tweak it to fit their organizational needs, re-evaluate the suggestion (customize them to the organization) and then proceed to implement it through-out.

Writing is a tough job. To pen down thoughtful course of action, takes conviction, hard work and good intentions- a perfect reason to give new ideas a try. 

For the insights, suggestions and the altruistic intentions of A to Z of Meshed Organization: Rebuild Organization Ab Initio, we @WeLoveQualityBooks give author Jolly J Sen’s thoughtful endeavour -3.5 stars.

Taming the Shopping Bug: My Year of Minimalist Shopping is a book of self-control, self-discovery and self-help by author Marti McGinnis.

You look at the front cover of the book and you are intrigued. You turn the book to look at what the back cover says and you just can’t stop yourself from begin reading it “right now!”.

Back Cover- Taming the Shopping Bug
Back Cover- Taming the Shopping Bug

Author Marti McGinnis uses her experiences, personal insights, psychology and beautiful illustrations to gift the readers a creative wonder. As she says in the foreword, she made a New Year resolution in 2019 to control her shopping impulses, although she was not a shopaholic, just a recreational shopper.

Her 365-day journey to honour her new year resolution gave birth to the book, Taming the Shopping Bug: My Year of Minimalist Shopping.

Over the year, the author not only kept a tab on her shopping whims but roped in some people for a case study. That’s what makes the insights on Taming the Shopping Bug: My Year of Minimalist Shopping authentic.

The author didn’t make a resolution to live in penury. She just decided to shop for essentials with an occasional splurge. Her idea was to count her blessings, make most of what she had and buy things only when there was a real need for it. As a recreational shopper myself, who shopped for years on amazon.com when the shopping portal, Amazon didn’t even have its Indian version- amazon.in, it is really easy to understand where the author, Marti McGinnis is coming from.

In the COVID-19 era, it is difficult to go out and shop. For that matter, it is now impossible to binge on shopping because, every penny, every paisa, every peso and every dime count. The present time makes the book, Taming the Shopping Bug: My Year of Minimalist Shopping extremely valuable. The beautiful cartoons and illustrations add another plus. The book doesn’t become a heavy read, yet its message is effective. Why not learn while getting entertained? This creative form of learning is not only for children. Every adult has the same right- to learn, reflect and imbibe changes yet have fun doing that!

For the interesting, multi-cultural beauty of self-mastery over the most squandering bug called ‘shopping’, we @WeLoveQualityBooks give Taming the Shopping Bug: My Year of Minimalist Shopping by author Marti McGinnis ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – five stars.

A Dress the Color of the Sky is a romance by author Jennifer Irwin.

Clothes play a huge role in women’s lives. As and when their mindset changes, so do the way they dress. Sometimes, the change is subtle while at other, more drastic. Therefore, women’s wardrobe is a peek into their immediate worlds. The name of the novel, A Dress the Color of the Sky symbolises the protagonist’s life preferences. 

Taking the theory forward, author Jennifer Irwin shares the story of an addict named Prudence, who checks into rehab and the cathartic experience alters the way she visualizes her world. As she understands self-worth, her confidence grows. She outgrows the need for external validation- be it in the form of her appearance or people’s reaction to her. 

She transforms so much from the self-conscious person that she was that she is even ready to take the challenge of wearing ‘Donkeyskin’, in a stride.

The novel through Prudence and other characters bring out how time is responsible for modifying the complexity of relationship, perspectives and priorities.

Author Jennifer Irwin‘s writing style is smooth and modern. She switches from the past to the present, smoothly. The novel A Dress the Color of the Sky is an interesting read- time well spent. 

A romantic novel is not just a story of a protagonist’s relationship with other characters but also with herself/himself. A Dress the Color of the Sky is the story of Prudence and how she falls in love with herself. 

For this touching, realistic, life-changing romance, we @WeLoveQualityBooks gives A Dress the Color of the Sky by author Jennifer Irwin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – five stars.

Book Review for The Avaha Order

Book Review- The Ahava Order

Posted We Love Quality BooksLeave a commentPosted in Book Reviews

Title: The Ahava Order

Author: Robert Przbylski

Date of Publishing: 16 June 2019

Publisher: Royal Hawaiian Press

Number of pages: 196 pages

ASIN: B07T442CVV

The Ahava Order by author Robert Przbylski is a fantasy adventure in a pseudo-medieval world.

The novel has all the mystical creatures you can think of and more. It is a dream work that will keep you engaged. What stood out was the fate of the vampires (we don’t want to reveal the plot, but it is beautiful).

Robert Przbylski has also introduced a variety of elixir in The Ahava Order. This is a very important concept for the idea of elixir can indeed be subjective. While some may need an elixir to become immortal, some need elixir for good health, for love and so on. The Ahava Order also brings out how good and bad influence changes our course of fate.

The novel connects rightly with our world and our times. Many instances are easily relatable. Unfortunately, the proper nouns used in the novel are tough to connect with and remember. It somehow alienates the readers to some extent. The second round of proofreading would make the plot of The Ahava Order tighter.

If you wish to read a novel with a different and fascinating take on a pseudo-medieval action fantasy, we @ WeLoveQualityBooks will recommend you to give The Ahava Order by author Robert Przbylski a read.

For an interesting read that is brimming with creativity, we @WeLoveQualityBooks gives The Ahava Order ⭐⭐⭐ – three stars.

Title: The Comedian

Author: Sean-Paul Thomas

Date of Publishing: 3 June 2019

Publisher: Paul Thomas Publishing; 1 edition

Number of pages: 79 pages

ASIN: B07SPDKVY1

The Comedian is a lovely novelette written by author Sean-Paul Thomas.

Like his other writings, author Sean-Paul Thomas creates an alluring take of a man who at his height of success and brink of reaching the autumn of his life. Then one day, he gets an opportunity to relive his past. He gets to understand the consequences of his choices and how his life could have panned out to be had he chosen differently.

Every person gets a chance to re-evaluate the choices they make in their lives, just like the protagonist. There are also times when we misunderstand people or circumstances, only because of our own complexes. The beauty of The Comedian is that it touches on these nuances of the human psyche while weaving an engaging story.

What stood out were the women characters of the novelette. Although the protagonist is a man, it is the strength of the women characters that give the story a push forward and offers it a decisive direction.

For a wonderful read, we @ WeLoveQualityBooks, give author Sean-Paul Thomas’ The Comedian four sparkling stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book-Review for The Purple Light_

Book Review: The Purple Light by Anthony Taylor

Posted We Love Quality BooksLeave a commentPosted in Book Reviews

Title:  THE PURPLE LIGHT: AN HERB AND LIFE ENTHUSIASTS SURVIAL GUIDE

Author: Anthony Taylor

Number of pages: 168 pages

ISBN: 9780359415151

 

The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide is a spiritual and inspirational novel written by author Anthony Taylor.

Author Anthony Taylor talks about how he encountered the Purple Light in one of his narcotic trips and how he learnt to live with It. The author says there are different colours of light or aura. Each colour influences and governs and moulds our behaviour and the choices we make.

Author Anthony Taylor terms the Purple Light as the highest form of divine light. It is pure. It is just, generous and kind.

Initially, the author tries to ignore the existence of the Purple Light but finally embraces It. He has now remodelled his life in accordance with the tenets of the Purple Light. Author Anthony Taylor has transformed his life from that of a cocaine addict to a man of God. He now spreads His teachings and the importance of the Purple Light through his writings. The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide showcase what the author wants to communicate to the world.

In the middle of reading the book, I emotionally snapped. I got aggressive and I had trouble handling my behaviour. So, I stopped reading The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide for a while. A week down the line, I was calmer and more rational. I had figured out a lot of ‘why’ and ‘why not’s’ of my life.

In the cacophony of words and expectations that surround us, it is nearly impossible for us to listen to God’s voice or our inner voice. This book has brought me a lot of peace and insight. I can’t tell you how the dynamics changed. But I could feel a physical shift in my circumstances. I am confident that The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide by Anthony Taylor came to me for review for a greater purpose.

The one who reads The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide with an open mind and courage, will take back something positive from the book for sure.

The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide also talks about how the author Anthony Taylor sees life after embracing the Purple Light. He talks about his views on political leaders, animals, technology, people in general and more.

Indians associate the Purple Light as the colour that signifies the highest chakra in meditation. I could spiritually connect to that concept of the book.

The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide, is for those who can keep prejudices at bay. It is not for everyone although everyone should try reading it once. J. This is not just an everyday self-help book. It has taken the author years to write the book. The first part was written when the author experienced the Purple Light while the second part was written much later.  By then the author had embraced the Purple Light. Still, the story flows smoothly and the writing style remains unchanged.

The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide by Anthony Taylor can serve as an inspiration for those who want to quit using drugs and start a new life.

This spiritual and unusually special novel deserves no less than infinite accolades and a bunch of 8s. But, we at We Love Quality Books will refrain from setting a precedent.

We at We Love Quality Books give The Purple Light: An Herb And Life Enthusiasts Survival Guide by author Anthony Taylor shiny 4.5 Stars!

Book Review: Exit Velocity (The Spotlight Tales Book 2) by S Pearce

Title:  Exit Velocity (The Spotlight Tales Book 2)


Author: S Pearce


Publisher: Amazon Asia-Pacific Holdings Private Limited


Number of pages: 112 pages

 

ASIN: B079R3VTVP

 

Exit Velocity is the second book in The Spotlight Tales Series. The book is written by the prolific author, S Pearce.

Have you ever read a novel without realising that you have reached the very end of it? Exit Velocity by author S Pearce will leave you wondering about that and a lot more.

Have you ever read a novel wherein, you turn the pages, re-read chapters, just to get to the bottom of the suspense thriller? Please read Exit Velocity to feel the thrill of re-reading portions or the entire book and digging out the truth.

Exit Velocity by author S Pearce reminded me of my days in college when as a student of Criminology; I look and re-looked at pieces of evidence to find the answers.

I have never enjoyed a book so much! It is not only a suspense thriller but a book that looks into the complexes and short-comings of people. The book talks about how decisions can be fatal and irrevocable. Exit Velocity by S Pearce is a book that will tell you about how people succumb to little temptations. You will learn why revenge is more powerful than love. The novel will also tell you about why people rationalise all their wrongdoings.

The feeling of persecution is often associated with adjustment issues and denial. Author S Pearce effectively touches upon this subject.

Exit Velocity made me question two things:

1. Do all good things come in small packages?

2. Is everything sweet, wonderful?

The book is so gripping that you will not realise you have reached the end. The clues are interestingly revealed. Each hint is subtle. If you lose focus, you miss out on a hint. But I am sure, the book involves the reader to such an extent that losing concentration is impossible.

Honestly, it is one of the best suspense thrillers I have ever read. I pride myself for identifying the criminal in the first chapter of any suspense/thriller/mystery. This book kept me not only guessing till the very end, but I also re-reading portions of Exit Velocity to identify the culprit.

The tone of the book is complaining and is just right for the subject. All the characters in the novel lament and have passive aggressive thoughts. It sets the mood of the book. The dark clouds the author talks about in the last page of the book looms on the readers from the very first page.

Author S Pearce’s book Exit Velocity is not only entertaining, spine-chilling and engrossing. It is also full of information. That makes the novel Exit Velocity an informative suspense thriller.

Does Exit Velocity by author S Pearce deserve anything less than the full marks? No, absolutely not. The honey-filled suspense thriller Exit Velocity written by author S Pearce is exemplary.

WeLoveQualityBooks gives this amazing, sensational, adrenalin pumping novel, Exit Velocity, nothing more and nothing less but 5 Stars.

ASIN: B07HLVZVQX

You’re Everything I need by, Mia Ford is a romance. The protagonist Cooper Ventry is a successful businessman who has lost the one he loves. He finds love again in Lexi and they live happily ever after.

You’re Everything I need has a hackneyed plot. There is no element of surprise. However, the author Mia Ford has tried her best to add as much spice as she could but unsuccessfully. The novel has love, sex, romance, revenge, a sick ex-boyfriend, good friends and anything else one can imagine. But nothing really holds the readers’ interest.

Sadly the chapters of the book are all titled Cooper and Lexi, alternately. The novel is too long and it is slow paced.

The only thing and the only thing that stood out in the novel You’re Everything I need by Mia Ford is the conversation that takes place between various characters. The conversation style is realistic and interesting. The narration which is the major part of the book falls flat.

Writing a review for this novel was tough. There is not much that one would remember about the book. It is good to read some novels that don’t hit a chord with the readers. It adds a kind of freshness in the readers’ minds when it comes to reading the next book.

Author Mia Ford deserves one star for making an effort to come up with such a long and elaborate novel. That’s one star for her hard work. The quality of conversation in the book was the only saving grace and deserves another star.

To sum it we rate the romantic novel, You’re Everything I need by, Mia Ford two stars.

We Love Quality Books reviews, My Sister and I written by author Sean-Paul Thomas.

 

My Sister and I, is a Crime, Thriller & Mystery. It is a Fiction/ Women’s Fiction published by Paul Thomas Publishing. Before we start reading the novel, there is a disclaimer that reads, ‘My Sister and I, is a work of fiction. Names, places and incidents represented are either the products of the author’s imagination….’

 

And boy! What an imagination author, Sean-Paul Thomas has. My Sister and I, is a book that can’t be put down once we start reading it. We, @WeLoveQualityBooks, finished the novel in about a day and a half. Why? How? Such questions are relevant ones. And we have only one answer…

 

My Sister and I, is a book is gripping and unputdownable.

 

The novel has two protagonists. It is a narration of one of the sisters about her sister and her life. Unlike most of the children their age, the sisters have a tough and rough life. But with grit and spirit, they face the challenges. The novel talks about the special bond that twins share. My Sister and I, also highlights how differently the next generation thinks about parenting. How they always question every instruction parents give the children. It is a different question that the sisters in the novel are quite right in questioning their strict father’s instructions and learning.

 

Honestly, the father the twins had was quite a repulsive guy. He is the perfect villain that no one can identify with. Two lines are all I can give the villain of the novel. Sean-Paul Thomas, the author of My Sister and I, has done full justice to bring out the darkest shades of the character.

 

My Sister and I is a very good example of how heredity and environment play an important role in shaping up an individual’s personality. With very similar genetic composition and living in an identical environment, two individuals may turn out to be totally different. My Sister and I by Sean-Paul Thomas makes us think of another hypothesis…

 

Does self-will somehow overrule the heredity and environment theory?

 

The novel, My Sister and I, is gripping, scary, dark, and fast-paced. It is a book a book lover cannot miss reading. Yes, the book does get dark, but through that darkness, our protagonists find a new light- a new life.

 

Evil exists. My Sister and I, describes that in graphic detail. The novel, however, also points out that after every dark night there is a beautiful morning. After every storm there is peace. After every hopeless event in life, there is a crack of hope.

 

The novel My Sister and I by Sean-Paul Thomas has excellent team-work with an impressive Cover Design by Andrew Crains. The editing by Hannah Franchesca deserves a special mention. Author Sean-Paul Thomas and his novel My Sister and I, totally deserve full marks.

 

For this dark and twisted and perfect novel, My Sister and I, we @WeLoveQualityBooks can only think of one score – 5 Stars.
