Book of You is a new type of book that uses the proven benefits of reminiscence therapy to create a life story by capturing the precious moments that make up the foundation of our lives and who we are. Using words, pictures, music and film, it brings families, friends and carers together sharing life’s moments in a simple way making storytelling easy, fun and beneficial. It helps show who a person was and who they are now. If you care for someone with dementia, creating a Book of You gives you the opportunity to do a shared activity that makes both of you happier and also lets you spend quality time together. Dementia Friendly Denbigh has been a familiar sight around the Denbigh and Ruthin area, as well as further afield. They have supported various local projects, including The Forget Me Not Group Coffee Mornings, the dementia inclusive Nature Through the Window group, and the Denbigh in Bloom sensory garden on Ruthin Road, Denbigh. They have also run a number of quizzes at local pubs as a fundraiser. Oh, and also find issue with the fact that the story is set in the city of Bath, England and yet Clarissa and Rafe are two names you almost never hear this side of the Atlantic. Alzheimer's Society required a steering group to be set up within a town that wishes to work towards becoming dementia friendly. It can be useful for towns who wish to do more for dementia in their community, but it sounds complicated. How do towns start one? We will use Denbigh as an example here who have been recognised by Alzheimer's Society as working towards becoming Dementia Friendly. I jumped in and devoured this book in two days time, I read it partly because I've been writing stalker-themed fanfics for some time and I want to know more about this theme.

At the same time, the MC was appointed to be a juror in a rape case, this courtroom plot line serves to highlight all the awful things which can happen to the victims when they are at the mercy of the legal system which supposedly should protect them---and many of us know better: reporting the stalking to the police often proves to be useless, raped victims are humiliated and damaged once again in the court room, victims are either being labeled as whores or 'asking for it' whenever there are contradictions (no matter how small or slight) in their testimonies. Therefore, I can understand why the MC hesitated for so long before she made any move against the stalker, I understand to a degree.

This is because the reasons for my critique are difficult to discuss without going into some detail about the story itself. Need a TV show recommendation? Maybe a few decor tips? Danielle, a digital news writer at Future, has you covered.Her work appears throughout the company’s lifestyle brands, including My Imperfect Life, Real Homes, and woman&home. Mainly, her time is spent at My Imperfect Life, where she’s attuned to the latest entertainment trends and dating advice for Gen Z. At first I thought the heroine was weak and pathetic and her "loving" parents turned her in to a woman who never stood up for herself. Then I saw what she was doing and why she felt the way she felt. I was sad for her. Was she stupid or just too kind of a person???

She finally goes to the police. They tell her- it's not enough. They need more to go on if they are to step in...So Clarissa starts a journal. She saves allllllllll the gifts, she writes alllllll the times and dates of each incident and alllllllll of her thoughts down...EVERYTHING! But when will enough be enough?

Lord of the Rings Sweatshirt, Lord of the Rings, LOTR, Lord of the Rings Quote, Book Quote Sweatshirt, Book Quote Gift, Gift for Reader As a counterpoint to the primary narrative, Clarissa is serving as a juror on a six week trial dealing with alleged kidnapping and rape. Ding, ding! The trial mimics Clarissa's experiences in ways so obvious that even she is aware of them. The trial, like Clarissa's own life, seems to drag on monotonously, with Clarissa cataloguing the names of legal and forensic experts who she could use in her own defense (but which she never, apparently does) and pondering all the ways in which the trial imitates real life. (I realize this is an inaccurate statement, since the trial is also someone's "real" life, but that is the way it seems to be presented in the novel.) Truly riveting....Clarissa's silence is both understandable and possibly her undoing."-- New York Times Book Review Also pretty much every character in this painfully stupid story is horrible. It's so horrendously bad, that anything else shines in comparison. Rafe is perfectly disgusting, though, and a creepy sort too, but a creep being creepy, doesn't add more than vivid and unsettling gore. As such I felt equally irritated and grossed out. Had there been some unreliability too, it might've been more to my liking.Kendal expertly heightens the suspense while offering a disturbing portrait of a clever stalker who believes himself to be in love."-- Booklist A Day Without Reading Sweatshirt, Funny Book Lover Gift, Teacher Reading Sweater, Book Nerd Tops, Bookish Shirt, Bookworm Gift, Bookrovert This is definitely one of the worst things I've ever read. Probably the worst one. My problem isn't the subject matter, which is universally appalling. It's just about everything else. I disliked the narrative style. I disliked the main character - the victim. She was impossibly hard to like, in fact, I never managed to connect with her, let alone care about her, or about what is happening to her. That at least should've been easy, but it wasn't, because, well, the annoying narrative style, as well as Clarissa's voice, which kept distracting me, with a bounty of unneeded nonsense and silly ramblings, created an emotional boundary of sorts. And it isn't because she's slow seeking help, or secretive about her situation, or because she's presented a weak, wimpy or possibly timid clothes-knitting mouse, it's because of all the stupidities, and her incessant focus on jerks. It's this annoying stream of silliness, as she reflects on pretty much every little detail of, well, everything. And l don't mean her being frightened, that seems perfectly reasonable.

stars. I both read and listened to the audio version of The Book of You. The story had a riveting beginning, and an interesting and believable premise—a young woman working at a university becomes a victim of stalking by a male colleague. He becomes obsessed with her following a terrifying incident in which she was involved with him. Following the incident he is continuously texting her, sending her gifts, and appearing out of nowhere. The woman journals her thoughts and collects evidence to take to the police, following advice from the leaflets she has that instruct her in dealing with stalkers. Unfortunately her stalker seems to be one step ahead of her... Clarissa is being stalked by a man (Rafe) whom she knows. She finds out terrible things about him and about his actions in the past and she can't get away from him. Her life starts to dissolve and he is so manipulative, he manages to appear concerned so that her own friends question her mental health. Then Clarissa begins to feel attracted to Robert, with whom she sits on a jury panel. As Rafe becomes more and more violent and deranged, Clarissa begins to fear for her own life. Previously, a dementia friendly concert was held as part of the North Wales International Music Festival at the Cathedral. This was a success and it will take place this year too, along with a workshop. Also at the Cathedral, they set up a table at All Things Dementia, which is run by the diocese in the cathedral (see photo). DVSC's Dementia Aware Community Led Programme was enabled through Welsh Government funding to support local delivery of the Dementia Action Plan. It was set up in 2019 to support communities to generate and transfer awareness around dementia into community led action.

Leather Custom Engraved Journal, Personalized Journal, Custom Journal, Engraved Journal, Personalized Journal for Women I can't honestly say that I enjoyed this book. It was difficult to read. Both the content and style of writing contributed. Firstly, much of the story was told in the second person. In my experience, this narrative perspective is seldom used and I have found it to be jarring and voyeuristic. Their Reminiscence Objects collection from 1940-1980 are brought to life, imbued with emotion and expounded with memories, by personal and one on one connections. Sometimes its chatting, laughing together and sharing stories with one other, sometimes its multi-sensory and found in textures, smells and sounds, in the winding of a hand whisk or the scent of a soap. I read the blurb that accompanies this book which details how Clarissa is becoming scared of Rafe who doesn’t take no for an answer, wherever she goes he is there. There is something about stalkers that fascinates me. What is the motivation to keep trying to be with someone who doesn’t want to know? All this is made much worse because she works with Rafe so she can’t totally avoid him. When Clarissa is called for jury service she is relieved, could this be a form of sanctuary from Rafe for a couple of weeks?
