You've Got a Book in You: A Stress-Free Guide to… by Elizabeth Sims

4.5 stars - good read with useful advice and tips. Not too academic, very conversational which I liked.

Holy Hell (Lillian Byrd Crime Series) (Volume 1) by Elizabeth Sims

Decent book with a likeable enough protagonist but the final solution wasn't very credible IMHO. I did love the part where she got herself fired.
