You Can Do It!:The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown-Up Girls
by Lauren C Grandcolas
This is my Zooba pick for February, I'm really looking forward to getting this. Though now I'll have to get the You Can Do It! Workbook.
**Update**
It has finally arrived, and I can't wait to read it and get creative.

The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures: The Ultimate A-Z of Fantastic Beings From Myth and Magic
by John Matthews & Caitlin Matthews
This was Cindi's Valentines Day present. I purchased it about a month ago because I managed to find it in hardback and on-line it's only available in paperback. I figured Valentines Day was a good day as any to give it to her.

The Complete Guide to Gay & Lesbian Weddings
by Keith C David
This is Cindi's Zooba pick for February, we figured with the fast approaching wedding it couldn't hurt to have another book to help us out.
**Update**
The book came thought I haven't had time to look at it. Between doing homework and trying to read the fertility book so we can start charting takes up most of my time. I hope to skim it for ideas before our "team" meeting on Feb 25th.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health
by Toni Weschler, MPH
I went to Barnes and Noble with a friend today and couldn't resists buying this book. I've heard good things about it for years now and figured what better time to start reading it than now. We ordered a basal thermometer last week that arrived today with the same Taking Charge of Your Fertility trial software, too funny.

Permanent Partners: Building Gay and Lesbian Relationships The Last by Dr. Betty Berzon
This is Cindi's January Zooba pick. I'd had it on one of my many Amazon wish-lists for awhile and am looking forward to reading it. Anything that will help us continue our wonderful relationship is a good thing. Plus with so much focus in society on creating lasting straight relationships, it's nice to have something that focuses on our unique relationship.
**Update**
I've been reading this a little bit at a time for a few weeks. I really like it, she is very insightful and offers great advice in working through your own "stuff" in order to be completely dedicated and committed to our same-sex partnerships. I was sad to hear that the author recently passed away.

Strength Training for Women by Joan Pagano
This is my January Zooba pick. I've wanted this for awhile, I really like the look of DK books and am exited to incorporate weights to my yoga practice [which I plan to do more frequently this year.]
**Update**
When this book arrived it came with another copy of the same books as well as a Grammar Reference book. They were somebody else's orders. I emailed Zooba and they said just to keep them and I wouldn't be charged. Crazy! Cindi said she was going to give her boss the duplicate copy of this book and we'd keep the other one-will be posting later.
**Update**
This book looks excellent! It will be a great tool in helping me develop my own strength training routine, I just have to find the time and motivation to do them!
