Uplift: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors

Book of the Week: Uplift: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors
Barbara Delinsky (Author)

Barbara Delinsky’s 1998 bestseller, COAST ROAD, featured a heroine who was a breast cancer survivor. To this day, it is the book that generates more mail than any of her others. That fact, combined with Barbara’s ongoing commitment to breast cancer research, led her to her first book of nonfiction.

Not a medical book — there is no discussion of the pros and cons of a particular treatment or hospital or doctor — UPLIFT is rather a collection of hundreds of pieces of practical and inspiring tidbits collected from survivors and their on everything from what kind of deodorant to use during radiation treatment to the best kinds of exercise aftloved ones. Think of it as “The Girlfriends’ Guide” to breast cancer, with hints on everything from what kind of deodorant to use during radiation treatment to the best kinds of exercise after a mastectomy to how to tell the person you’re most afraid to tell that you have cancer. And as timeless as ever, this newly revised edition of UPLIFT contains the latest and most up-to-the-minute medical information, as well as new stories from inspiring cancer survivors.

Featured Book Review: How To Complain For Fun And Profit: The Best Guide Ever To Writing Complaint Letters.
Bruce Silverman (Author)

The author, Bruce Silverman recounts his personal life in funny anecdotes. The stories presented in “How To Complain For Fun And Profit” deal with customer service. We have all had our moments wanting to scream into the other end of the phone. All that does is cause a busy signal to magically appear and we have to work the process all over again. Since all of the stories are real it makes them all the more fun as well as important as you will find instances that apply to your own life.

When you are on hold for 45 minutes and then get hung up on, when the repair guy says 2 and he shows up at 4 two days later, when your credit card is triple charged and you’re stuck paying overdraft feeds – these are all issues people face everyday and, quite frankly, we do not have to put up with them. The question then reverts to, “What DO I do about it?”

“How To Complain For Fun And Profit” by Bruce Silverman is the answer to that question. In the book Bruce, along with all of his funny experiences, tells you how he got satisfaction. The reader is presented with samples and lists on how to properly complain in order to get that person in customer service to listen and to give satisfaction.

This book would be a great gift for anyone who has been bullied by customer service. The book itself is self-explanatory and the concepts are basic. It’s the examples that are perfect for those of us that have problems collecting and organizing our thoughts.

The Casual Vacancy

Book of the Week: The Casual Vacancy
J.K. Rowling (Author)

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
