Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things.
There are books in my library, such that it is, which have held within them excitement, knowledge, curiosity and anguish. There are books between whose covers I have found yearning, disgust, loyalty and contempt. There are many which have brought pleasure, a few with the strange gift of boredom, and some, just a handful, which have changed my life. Not in the way that all things do, each new experience making minor adjustments, but in the way that shows, decades later, in the makeup of my world. The first of these are lost to me. I am told I was besotted with a particular ABC, and the illustrations of Shirley Hughes continued throughout my own children’s early years, to resemble my idealised family life to a suspicious degree. The Maggie B, by Irene Haas may well underscore my concept of cosy, and I dare say the smallfolk I nearly glimpse beneath the trees in dappled sunlight have been seen first on a page, from the haven of my mother’s lap. One, likely some, of these early books has changed my life, turning me into a reader and lover of stories before I can remember otherwise. But I want to talk here about the first clear memory, the lucid revelation, of the world I build my life in.

The Prompt Write about a book that changed you. Read more about this here I chose the title, a question mark because I don't know the title of the book that had the biggest influence on my life. I don't know the name of the book but I think it was a French translation. There was a dog called "Socks", that, as far as I know, is not an English pet name.

Rumpelstiltskin's Gambit
"In the delicate threads of Rumpelstiltskin's enchanted gamble, we are reminded that even the brightest of fortunes can cast shadows, and that the true wealth of a heart lies not in gold, but in the irreplaceable tapestry of emotions that weave our humanity"

The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project and Research for Advanced Practice Nurses
The next two textbook reviews are 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project' and 'Research for Advanced Practice Nurses'. In the first textbook to be reviewed it is mainly describing what a terminal graduate degree in nursing is all about. 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project A Framework for Success' is written by three women who are Katherine Moran, Rosanne Burson, and Dianne Conrad. As said above this is a book for students who are studying for a terminal graduate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. The students may already be nurse practitioners but who want to do more for their patients or clients. This is a book that covers what the Doctor of Nursing Practice is all about from the history and the why nurses become doctor practitioners.

The Practice of Nursing Research and Munro's Statistical Methods for Healthcare Research
The next two textbooks that I have read and reviewed were 'The Practice of Nursing Research Appraisal, Synthesis and Generation of Evidence' and 'Munro's Statistical Methods for Healthcare Research'. The Munro textbook is one that teaches about all the math that one may need to do research in this area. The other textbook is one where authors show their experiences in writing and doing research.
