AH-CHOO

by Jennifer Ackerman

August 12th to August 19th

About the book:

What do you know about the common cold? Probably a lot less than you think.

Some colds are like mice, timid and annoying; others like dragons, accompanied by body aches and deep misery. In AH-CHOO!, Jennifer Ackerman explains what, exactly, a cold is, how it works, and whether it’s really possible to “fight one off.” Scientists call this the Golden Age of the Common Cold because Americans suffer up to a billion colds each year, resulting in 40 million days of missed work and school and 100 million doctor visits. They’ve also learned over the past decade much more about what cold viruses are, what they do to the human body, and how symptoms can be addressed. In this ode to the odious cold, Ackerman sifts through the chatter about treatments-what works, what doesn’t, and what can’t hurt. She dispels myths, such as susceptibility to colds reflects a weakened immune system. And she tracks current research, including work at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, a world-renowned center of cold research studies, where the search for a cure continues.

Today’s Topic:

Have your reading choices changed over the years? Or pretty much stayed the same? (And yes, from childhood to adulthood we usually read different things, but some people stick to basically the same kind of book their entire lives, so…)

My Response:

For me, the choices have pretty much stayed the same. In elementary school I remember that I always had a book but as far as the genre, I don’t remember. However, middle and high school, I remember that my personal reading choices were the same as they are today. I have always enjoyed the genres of suspense/mystery and also contemporary romance and literature.

Update

Yesterday in my Mailbox Monday meme, I mentioned a digital short that I had received from Bill Walker, author of A Note from an Old Acquaintance. I also mentioned that I would let you know when and where you could purchase his new suspense digital short of:

Last night, Mr. Walker notified me, that he has self published this digital short and now you have a chance to read it for $1.99. I purchased and downloaded 2 EBooks from this site and it was easy and has formats for any and all EReaders. Here is the link that was provided to me and I am sharing it with you….. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/21128 Enjoy and Happy Reading!!

My Teaser:
It surprised Angela that half of his clients were already dead and more than a third of those died only weeks after selling their policies.
