About the Book


When memory fades, what remains?


Sarah Vosburgh has often felt misunderstood by her mother, a woman who lived a quintessential suburban life. But when her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Sarah’s world unravels, and she must confront a disease that will only worsen. As roles reverse between mother and daughter, Sarah faces the guilt of making decisions she hopes are the right ones while also carrying the grief of losing her mom bit by bit everyday. She navigates a labyrinth of health services amid the heartbreaking, and at times darkly humorous, realities of caregiving.

There are the white lies and midnight phone calls, the misbuttoned blouses, and the second slice of chocolate pie that tastes just as good as it did the first time. And then there’s the quiet awe at the persistence of connection even when language falters and names are forgotten.


Told in finely wrought prose and lyrical fragments of memory, Who Will Name the Bees? is a daughter's unflinching love letter to the flawed, fierce, and unforgettable woman who raised her.

 

About the Author

It was never in Sarah Vosburgh’s plan to be an author or to write a memoir. As a busy mom, wife, and psychologist, she always saw her life as full (sometimes overfull). But in the dark of night, memories knocked on her brain, compelling her to commit them first to paper, then to bits and bytes.


Sarah is a member of the International Memoir Writers Association and San Diego Writers, Ink. Her work has been published in A Year in Ink and numerous volumes of Shaking the Tree: brazen. short. memoir. A native New Englander, she now lives in San Diego with her husband, her daughter, her granddog, and a most extraordinary feline.

Self-Help Book Blitz: Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson

Some books open with a question that lingers. Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson leans into that kind of curiosity, asking readers to slow down and consider the beliefs they carry (often without realizing it). Let’s take a look at what this book is about and see where it might fit on your to-be-read pile.

 Who Do You Think You Are? by China Watson (book cover)

You Are Who You Think You Are

about the book


What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances
—but what you believe about yourself?

In Who Do You Think You Are?, author and mindset coach China Watson delivers an uplifting, empowering self-help book that challenges readers to rethink their inner dialogue and redefine what success truly means. Through relatable stories, affirmations, and reflective exercises, this book shows how mindset shapes identity—and how changing your thoughts can change your life.

Each chapter introduces a mini-story inspired by real-life experiences, featuring characters from different backgrounds who face doubt, fear, health challenges, career setbacks, and personal crossroads. From Horace, a devoted father struggling with self-belief, to August, a resilient teenage mother rising above adversity, these stories highlight the power of resilience, positive thinking, and community support.

Designed as a quick, engaging read, every chapter begins and ends with a thought-provoking quote, includes practical lessons, affirmations to rewire limiting beliefs, and reflection spaces that invite readers to pause, journal, and apply what they’ve learned in real time.

More than motivation, this book offers a mindset reset—reminding readers that success is not only measured by money or status, but by peace, confidence, health, happiness, and meaningful relationships.
 

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

● Break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs
● Build confidence through intentional mindset shifts
● Use affirmations to reframe negative thinking
● Turn challenges into opportunities for growth
● Define success on your own terms
● Cultivate resilience, self-worth, and inner peace 

 

You are who you THINK you are. Choose wisely—and boldly.

 

what readers can expect

 

Readers can expect:

  • an emphasis on recognizing and working through self-doubt
  • affirmations used as tools to reframe negative thinking
  • short, story-driven chapters rather than long-form instruction
  • reflection prompts meant to be used alongside the text
  • encouragement to define success in personal, values-based ways

With its mix of short stories, quotes, affirmations, and reflection prompts, the book seems meant to be read slowly. This doesn’t feel like something to rush through, but rather something you return to in small pieces—maybe in the morning, at the end of the day, or whenever you want a quieter kind of reading experience.

 

is this your kind of read?

 
  • This book will appeal most to readers who prefer self-help that conversational self-help rather than more rigid instructional guides. If you enjoy short chapters, everyday examples, and space to pause or jot down thoughts, this one may fit your reading style.
  • Readers who tend to gravitate toward highly structured systems, data-heavy psychology, or strictly academic frameworks may find this book’s emphasis on mindset and inner dialogue to be a different pace than what they’re used to.

about the book


Henrietta Newell stormed into the detective bureau. She claimed her adult son was missing and feared for his safety. The detectives attempted to reassure her that the absence of a bachelor in his thirties, in a city like London, wasn’t extraordinary. Despite their efforts, she insisted an investigation be conducted, reminding them of her political connections.

Detective Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner were told to look into the matter. Their investigation reveals evidence of suspicious and unusual activity but no clues regarding the man’s disappearance. The few leads they develop take them from the world of wealthy families and into the secret society of sexual peculiarities.

The detectives discover the victim didn’t simply disappear. He was murdered. They have the evidence except for one problem, they’re missing is the victim’s body.

about the author


Michael J. Kundu was born in London, Great Britain, in 1969 to an Indian father and a German mother. He has lived in various places in Europe. His love for reading has prompted him to write this book giving this crime novel more than an edge of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary perspective on life.

He has a great passion for learning languages and travelling across the globe. He enjoys spending time with his family and lives in Luxembourg with his Italian wife and two teenage children.

My multinational background, coupled with my marriage to someone of a different nationality, has endowed me with a wealth of diverse experiences. Having traversed the globe, speaking multiple languages and immersing myself in various cultures, the profound value of each individual has become a cornerstone of my worldview. These multicultural encounters have not only fostered a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of every person but have also instilled in me a commitment to promoting mutual respect, free from the shackles of prejudice related to color or religion. In composing my book, these experiences have permeated not only this narrative …but also the forthcoming sequel.
