Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is globally renowned as the authority on the weird, the eccentric, and the amazing. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! provides entertaining books for children of all ages which educates and informs them in a humorous style. The Ripley brand is known around the world as a trend-setting source of family-friendly fun and excitement! Every day the researchers at Ripley’s are busy digging up the craziest true stories and the most unbelievable facts.
In my honest opinion, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! gets better and better with each release they do. My family absolutely LOVES all of the Ripley’s books, especially my step-son. He can entertain himself for hours flipping through the pages. I really like when he talks about one of the stories he read during dinner. It’s a book for everyone to enjoy, children and adults. It’s the type of book that never stays on the shelves in your school or local library.
I cannot wait to show my step-son Ripley’s new title. These books are one of his absolute favorites. Every time he gets a new title to add to his home library, he ends up carrying it around with him for a couple months.
I really like the Ripley’s books too. They’ve been around way before I was a little girl. I remember having to wait months in order to check out one of their titles from the library, both school library and public library. I never had the opportunity to own my very own copy, so I relied on the libraries. Ripley’s Believe It or Not 100 Best BIONS delivers the way you expect any Ripley’s book to deliver. As with all others, it’s broken into chapters: Classics, People, Animals, World, and Exhibits.
What I like the most about this title is that these are all stories that have been published before. They are the best 100 stories. Many of them I remember such as the Lizard Man, the Indian policeman with the extremely long beard and Mary the Asian Elephant…but there were many that I never had the pleasure of reading before this book such as the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, Liu Ch’ung who was born with double pupils in each eye, and Elmer McCurdy how is known for the phrase “You’ll never take me alive”. I really enjoyed reading through this book and I know you will too.
Retailed at $24.95 US/$28.95 CAN, 100 Best BIONS is available for purchase at all major bookstores as well as online through Amazon. I highly recommend you pick this title up for yourself or for your kid…you won’t be disappointed.

As Dr. Krystal White, author of the new book The Letter Code: Deciphering Why You Love the Way You Love (Feb. 12, 2019), says, “It is clear that we haven’t entirely cracked the code of the human heart. Most of us cannot see what lies beyond the surface of our romantic endeavors. Just as warriors rely on effective and powerful weapons to fight fairly, lovers need resources in order to love fully. If all is to be fair in love and war, we need more powerful weapons in the name of love.”
The Letter Code will help you understand why you engage and interact the way you do, why you are drawn to certain types of people, and how you can use this knowledge to strengthen your connection with yourself and your partner, and ultimately empower your relationship to reach new levels.
The book provides a simple personality assessment, where readers quickly gain awareness of their primary needs from love. The shape of four letters (H, A, W, Y) visually represents four primary motivations that drive people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors in their romantic relationships. Each letter conveys a certain energy dynamic, essentially answering why a partner reaches out, and either leans “toward” or leans “away from” their significant other.
In figuring out their letter code, readers are then able to better connect with their partner and get their primary needs met in the relationship. This increases the likelihood of compatibility and reduces conflict, with the added benefit of showing people whether or not they are with someone who can meet their needs effectively.
“No matter your past circumstances in love or what you’ve believed about yourself as a partner until now, there is an essential truth when it comes to being you in love,” explains Dr. White. “Grasping this truth will change everything! It will allow you to deliberately create, restore, and be fulfilled in ways you may never have experienced in a partnership before.”
Throughout the book, Dr. White dives deep into the following themes:
• Who we are in our intimate relationships is not who we are as individuals
• What you see is not what you get in love
• Increasing self-awareness and decreasing self-deception is the key to relational satisfaction
• Learning to decipher the language of those close to you to better understand what they’re actually saying they need
