The ResearcherÕs Guide to the Czech Land Books is a unique book for everyone who is interested in the Czech Land Books and the use of the land records in genealogical research and in compiling family history. There is very little information about this unique source of information available in English and this book is the first tool which may help many to open this source to the English-speaking audience.
In seventeen chapters the book provides the information about the land books, their use primarily in genealogical research and most importantly about the context in which they were used. The context is especially crucial for understanding and using the land records correctly, making the book valuable even for those who neither wish nor dare to start their own research but who simply want to learn about the lives and status of their ancestors in the Czech Lands. The ResearcherÕs Guide explains many questions such as the concepts of the people subjected to the noble owners of land, the nature of the forced labour known as robota, or the character of the farmersÕ relationship to his land and the property transfers within the family. Readers may also learn about many terms and phrases they already know other sources which may still be unclear or misinterpreted.
This volume provides the basics for successful research. You will read about the nature of the land records, where you can look for them, and how to choose the right book for your research. The ResearcherÕs Guide also explains how you can effectively search land books for a relevant record and we set forth their basic structure so that you may parse them into more easily interpretable blocks. This book contains special sections dealing with the topics of abbreviations and signs used in the records for various measures and currencies, all of which are accompanied with plentiful examples. Finally, the book has particular chapters which show how the land books can deal with common genealogical problems such as missing or conflicting information from church registers and the use of the Òroof namesÓ.
The second half of the book contains more than thirty examples of carefully transcribed land records from original sources for you to use to practice your own transcription skills. These include an exact transcription, a translation into modern Czech, and a translation to English. Each record is accompanied by a detailed commentary and notes that explain both the essence of the record and its various minutiae.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
