"A sparkling debut about friendship, solidarity and the joy and heartache of queer teenhood, from Anna Zoe Quirke, a witty, fresh new voice in YA." Lex Croucher, author of Gwen and Art are Not in Love

Imogen?Quinn is a chaotic bisexual with dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian, crushing stereotypes about autistic people. When she decides to put on a pride festival that's accessible for everyone, she enlists the help of the openly gay captain of the football team, Ollie Armstrong.



Dealing with the fallout from his parents' divorce, Ollie is initially hesitant. But it doesn't take long for him to be swept up by Imogen's passion, and he's not the only one. Joined by the (infuriatingly perfect) head girl, musicians, an artist and a star baker - a dream team soon assembles to help plan pride and tackle injustices in their school and beyond. You'd better listen out - they're getting ready to make some noise.



Packed full of fun, forever friendships and fighting back, this YA debut is perfect for fans of I Kissed Shara Wheeler, Gwen and Art are Not in Love, Feel Good, Heartstopper and Not My Problem.

A very erudite validation of alternative energy healing
Format: Paperback
I have not got very far in reading since I am reading in parallel Rosalyn Bruyere's "Wheels of Light", but so far find it more accessible than Ms Brennan's first book, "Hands of Light" and this is quite natural since I am not a scientist. But I can't help feeling that in many instances of alternative healing modalities, a personal experience of a natural gift of healing is being made to appear to the general public as a complex and costly necessity for effecting the healing that is a natural propensity of one's body if not hindered by pre-conditioning. Notwithstanding this, I like this book because is speaks to a personal experience of healing energy as subtle sensation/LIGHT which I see as merely awaiting universal acknowledgment that ALL is Light, appearances to the contrary to be shattered by such acknowledgment, and all advances in science that corroborate that fact is welcome.

A great resource for those on their own healing journey and others
Format: Kindle
It is said that energy medicine is the next frontier of medicine. This book helps to explain why. Barbara has decades of experience working with physics, counseling, high sense perception, as well as watching and assisting thousands of people manage their energy field for wellness. Her first book "Hands of Light" is more like a technical manual (and fascinating). This book is written for all of us - on our own healing journey and how we can **empower our selves in our own health and well being**. How we view and assimilate western concepts of "medicine", medication, therapy and other interactions into our own self has more to do with health than the intervention alone. It is also a great resource for healers, psychologists, medical professionals - anyone in a service profession aimed to assist others in their health and wellness. The concepts are powerful when practiced with intention and depth of management of our own field. We can help others by simply managing our own awareness, mindfulness and field.

The perfect companion to Hands of Light
Format: Paperback
I love Barbara Brennan's first book Hands of Light, which I read waaaaay back when it first came out! Could not put it down and it was the one that got me started on spiritual path and exploring healing practices such as Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, IET and all the other energy healing modalities. Now I am reading Light Emerging and as her first book is, it's so informative. This one is focusing on personal healing, healer and patient interaction, relationships and energy interaction and how to create positive patterns, and more. I would love to go to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing one day but in the meantime these books will carry me through to learning about healing and express myself in a more loving & nurturing way for myself and for others. This book & her first book are a must for anyone interested in exploring these types of therapy and discovering their own built-in ability to heal with energy. Enjoy!

Well written book. The author really explains EFT Tapping well. Detailed review...
Format: Kindle
Well, I must say that before reading this book, I was a doubting Thomas about EFT Tapping. Then I looked up eBooks about controlling pain naturally and rediscovered EFT Tapping method for relieving pain, anxiety, Stress and more. While I found lots of books here on Amazon (Kindle versions), what I needed was a MANUAL for EFT Tapping....You know, a basic yet effective HOW TO (Illustrated) book. 1) This is the exact book I was looking for, a how to book. No fluff, just helpful stuff. 2) So I read this book and then I tried the tapping how to do. She explained that tapping with one hand is best, I tied it and it worked. 3) This book is more of a beginner book, a starting g point. However I did some tapping (just started), and my shoulder pain went from a 8 to a 4 after the first try. (I think this worked for me because when I stress, my right shoulder (old injury) hurts. This book has been both inspiring and helpful for me personally, I intend to continue to refer to this book and keep on Tapping!

Fantastic Author!
Format: Kindle
I love this Tessa Cason’s work. EFT is such a wonderful technique to work through difficult things. Tessa is so clear in her writing about what this technique is about and how it works. She gives great explanations of EFT and how it works. Makes it easy to understand and use EFT for yourself. I highly recommend her books to people who are both new and those who are experienced with EFT.
