The Diabetes Miracle by Diane Kress
3 Simple Steps to Prevent and Control Diabetes and Regain Your Health . . . Permanently

The breakthrough 3-step program to conquer type 2 diabetes with little to no medication.

If you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, it’s easy to think, “How did this happen? I watched what I ate. If only I had tried harder, eaten fewer calories and burned more.”

But you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. Many traditional diets can actually promoteinsulin resistance over time because they don’t take into account your different metabolism. You may be one of the millions who have Metabolism B (metabolic syndrome), an inherited condition that can cause your body to overreact to carbohydrate foods, release excess insulin, and gain body fat—and eventually develop type 2 diabetes. The good news is that you can take control of your diabetes, starting today.

The Abominable Snowman Doesn't Roast Marshmallows
by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones
series: The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But could the frosty stranger in town for the Winter Carnival really be the Abominable Snowman?







~ and . . . I gave my son three of my new books to wrap for Christmas. The funny thing is that I've bought so many in the last couple of months that I forgot which ones I gave him. I could have looked them up but it was much more fun opening them. (I liked the purple blanket he bought me better)

And then You Dye by Monica Ferris Needlecraft Mystery series

Betsy is a natural-born yarnsmith--so it's only fitting that some of her favorite items to stock come from the dye-works of Hailey Brent. But when Hailey is found dead in her workshop, Betsy discovers that there was a lot about Hailey she would have never guessed. Like her penchant for stealing, her use of dangerous additives to create her so-called all-natural fibers, and a scheming mind that had made her more than one enemy. Now Betsy must wring the truth from a bevy of colorful suspects. Because what she knows just might mean the difference between living—and dyeing…

Buttoned Up by Kylie Logan A Button Box Mystery

Artist Forbis Parmenter has invited Josie to the opening of his latest exhibit of voodoo-inspired works. He plans to made a show of completing the centerpiece--a button-encrusted statue--when Josie arrives with the final button. But just as the big moment comes, Forbis bolts out of the gallery in panic. Is it another of his publicity stunts, or is something more sinister afoot?

Josie gets her answer when the eccentric artist is found dead--his lifeless body in the arms of a statue and his eyes and lips sealed with buttons. Now she's using her expert eye to solve the mystery before a crafty killer slips through her fingers.

Staged to Death by Karen Rose Smith A Caprice De Luca Mystery

Caprice De Luca has successfully parlayed her skills as an interior designer into a thriving home staging business. So when her old high school friend Roz Winslow asks her to spruce up her mess of a mansion to perk up a slow buyer's market, Caprice is more than happy to share her skills. But when Roz's husband Ted is found skewered by one of his sword room's prized possessions, it appears the Winslows may have a few skeletons in their palatial closets. With the stage set for murder, Caprice will discover she can track down an antique tapestry and a cold-blooded killer with equal aplomb--as long as she's not the next victim.
