It is often said that solving crosswords is good for the brain. That may indeed be so but I also find that solving them is fun. Here is a good collection of puzzles that range in difficulty for easy to tough. I really liked the section at the start of the book that gave some advice on solving.
This title looks like a fun and (sometimes) challenging one. I think that I will buy the hard copy so that I can solve them.

Crooked Lane Books publishes so many enjoyable traditional murder mysteries of which this is one. This time the story centers on a young woman who is opening a bookshop; in my opinion, the best kind of store. It should be part of a dream job in process except:
Scarlett’s boyfriend is no longer part of her life.
She finds a body.
She is left some money and…
could be a suspect and
this may just complicate things.
Here is a good story, a good setting, good characters and a bookstore. What more could traditional fans want? This is one to enjoy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has become a very popular and effective form of mental health treatment. In this title, the authors, both psychologists, offer CBT help to those who are aging and, at the same time, struggling with anxiety and/or depression. The authors are positive practitioners and guides who offer hope to their readers, while noting that a workbook is not a substitute for face-to-face treatment.
This book is addressed to those who are over sixty. It is noted that issues may present in unique ways in this age group and that there are particular aspects to this life stage.
This title is well organized and clearly written with sections that explain what CBT is and what depression and anxiety can look like. There are then chapters on ways to effect change. To name just two, the authors look at goal setting and self-monitoring.
The authors suggest moving through this book slowly and completing the exercises. Take time, consider each suggested practice and, hopefully, begin to feel more on top of things. Along the way, learn the difference between thoughts, feelings and physical sensations and learn how to rejig some unhelpful patterns of thinking. It may just help!
