There are two books I picked up for FREE at my local bookstore.  I was really in the hunting mood and would not have found them if I had not taken a certain cart and turned it around to discover the freebies. These are brand new books that are considered advanced reader's copies, which I believe meant that certain copies are made before it is sold to the public? Someone fill me in here, I am not sure what that really means exactly.

Anyhow, here are the books.....Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye by Ellie Phillips, DDS. Here is the author's blog for further investigating, http://askdrellie.blogspot.com . I really enjoyed learning from this book concerning dental health as my DH and I have been agonizing over wether to visit the dentist or not and when and how to get good insurance coverage. She actually is not saying to never visit the dentist but to be able to go and surprise your dentist with how well you have cared for your teeth.

The other book I am enjoying is, How to Discover and Develop Your Child's Strengths, by Jenifer Fox, M.Ed. You can visit www.strenthsmovement.com to learn more. She gives a refreshing perspective on what is not working  for the school system and how it is catering to the weaknesses and not finding and building on the strengths of each child. Then she shares how a school she has founded is based on the strengths of each child.

So happy reading, discovering, learning and bargain hunting!!
