Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Amish Survival Bible

 

Amish Survival Bible, Anna Hostetler, 2025

 

This book gives a comprehensive introduction to Amish self-sufficiency. They are people who have lived without modern technology for centuries.

The book explores many different aspects of the Amish way of life, including food preservation, herbal remedies, home security, water sourcing, woodworking, raising children, community and cooking without refrigeration.

No one is expected to adopt all parts of this book all at once. Start with something small, like a couple of pots of vegetables, or herbs or medicinal plants on your deck, or on your windowsill. Then, you can move on from there.

Any movement toward a more self-sufficient lifestyle is a very good thing. This book is an excellent introduction. It is very much worth the money.
