📚 Who She Was Paperback – Oct. 21 2022
👉 Visit the Book ➡️ https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BJYQ1HMD/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top

✅ What would you do if you woke up in a hospital and couldn't remember the last 3 years of your life? Everything about your life seems to be different. In a job you never thought you would have had interest in, a boyfriend you know nothing about, family issues you didn't even know existed and things in your life you thought helped define who you were aren't even a part of your life anymore. This is a story about finding one's true self and the value in that and the pain that can come with true self-reflection.
DADDY IS LIKE HALLOWEEN. DADDY HAS SCARY EVENTS. DADDY IS FUN. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. INSTEAD OF CANDY DADDY GOBBLES CAKE. Our book, DADDY IS COOL LIKE THAT, is no trick. It’s a treat. In addition, our book assists, not only children, but even grown-ups with choosing LIFE ENHANCING decisions. If you are in doubt about our book’s impact, check out the effect our book has had on a multitude of book reviewers. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

✅ My name is Roselaine Joseph, and I would like to welcome you to my Fantasy book world. I spent years going to school collecting degrees and certificates that I had no passion for doing. Many of us are taught to go to college to earn a degree which results in a waste of time. In most cases, we rarely work in the field of our study. As I grew older, I realized that success is not in the number of degrees you collect, but it takes skills and what you are passionate about. It took me a while to realize that writing is what I love, and it’s my passion. I find great joy in writing, and it is the best way for me to release some stress. In my early year of writing, I had a lot of struggles mainly because it was so hard to get a publisher to accept my work. I thought I was the only one. I started reading other authors’ blogs, and their stories were quite similar to mine. I realized that I wasn’t alone. I took a step back for a couple of years, and now I’m back to doing what I love. I created a blog page discussing religious subjects, and I love it. I’m also writing fiction stories because it is where my writing journey started. My goal as a writer is to get each reader on the edge of their seat and feel excited and wanting more. My dream is to go into history as one of the greatest writers in the world. I do hope that you enjoy the reading.

💥📚📚Hello! To all the readers out there! My name is Meshia Henderson from South Carolina. I love writing and poetry. I am a proud mother of 4 kids! I’ve been a caregiver for the elderly for over 15 years! I love family and love people. My 5 year old who was diagnosed with autism inspired me to find my passion to write my first book! We turned to books and pictures as a way to communicate. My book “ Does Planet Earth Have Friends?” Is based off of a character named Jade who was raised to be loving and caring..Jade finds herself fearing earth may be lonely however jades mother comforts Jade by reassuring her that God created everything and everyone to have a friend. Since writing my fist book I am happy to announce I have created a Autism parent journal called “ I know my child”. Also available here on Amazon! May you find my books to be a blessing to you and your family. Thank you!
WHY NOT DO IT? COOL DADDY DID IT! PICK POSITIVE! CONQUER CHALLENGE! EMBRACE ENJOYMENT! Our book will assist, not only children, but even grown-ups with these LIFE ENHANCING decisions. If you are in doubt about our book’s impact, check out the effect Daddy Is Cool Like That has had on a multitude of book reviewers. DO IT!

Celebrate Diwali this year with PLANTER PATAKHAA prepared in a eco-friendly process to keep our environment pollution-free and festivity in full swing.

Books33 - the World's 1st eco-friendly Book Publisher & Environmentally-safe Gift item provider - has come up with this unique idea of PLANTER PATAKHAAS to add HEALTH and HAPPINESS in DIWALI celebrations this year.

https://youtu.be/9xUR6ELBYE4

Our operations have always been in sync with the circular economy. We are committed to giving back to the Mother Nature what we take from Her.

'Alpha Zone'- our children books imprint , always comes up with innovative products to stimulate creativity, language development, and vocabulary acquisition in the super-active young kids of the Alpha generation - the kiddos who are continuously connected to the internet, which is why also known as ‘Digital Natives’.

Our fun-activity based learning products and services aims towards our netizen’s holistic well-being with ‘hope, health and happiness’.

For each of our Alpha Zone Books sold, we give a packet of vegetable seeds to inculcate the habit of nurturing home-grown plants in young kids. Young kids sow these seeds in their small pots, provide them sunlight and water and see them growing into saplings to small plants to a flower and fruit-bearing plant.

This process of growing plants makes them love plants thereby nurture healthy habits in them right from their childhood. With this innovative process, Alpha Zone contributes towards making this planet a much Healthier & Greener place to live and thrive.

Our innovation for this year is the PLANTER PATAKHAAS that are biodegradable & recyclable made from waste paper & recycled material.

These plantable patakhaas are embedded with live seeds handmade by rural women of ग्राम (pronounced as “Gram” which means Village).

These women folks are a group of farmers, artists, women, makers of different ideas and identities from the village called Paradsinga, situated in Sausar Tehsil of Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh, India.

✅ Published with assistance from BePublished.org in July 2022, RACISTS OF EVERY HUE by Mylia Tiye Mal Jaza will expose the intraracial racism that is often overlooked due to more focus being commonly placed on in*******al racism. Comprised of charts and graphs, this work reveals the results of a 60-day poll where people shared their opinions and experiences with racism from people of other races and their own. Discover a science-backed reality check that will sn**ch the cloak off even the racist hidden in you and your grannies!
