Book Testimonials:

"While providing an entertaining and enlightening read (plus a peek at readings Lester has done for celebrities such as Goldie Hawn and the CBC's Bill Richardson), the book also guides you in listening to your own intuition so you can tap into a richer understanding of both yourself and the people who surround you." --Alex Val Tol's review excerpt from her June 14, 2011 blog entry at www.infernalmemo.wordpress.com

"Reading Tanya Lester's 'Confessions' is like having a cozy chat with a fascinating friend...She has read thousands of tea cups for a great variety of people, from Goldie Hawn to the driver of a car she collided with in a parking lot. Her confessions tell some of these stories as well as a few secrets of her own..." -- Mary Horodyski, excerpt from The Aquarian review, Winter 2011

"I have finished your book and give it two thumbs up. Entertaining and I enjoyed the stories about your clients and places you have been. -- Rob Farley, Facebook friend

"If you've ever wondered how a tiny pile of wet sticks and leaves can portend the future, Tanya Lester's new book Confessions of a Tea Leaf Reader will give you a glimpse into that mysterious world...People of every stripe have hoped to find clarity in the cup, and Lester has seen them all in the past 15 years. Her personal observations on tea leaf reading in particular and human kind in general make an interesting read, even if you don't particularly lean towards the mystical." -- Elizabeth Nolan, reporter for The Gulf Islands Driftwood

".... The structure of the book works really well. Rather than describe her experiences in chronological order, Lester has divided her book into chapters that describe subjects such as 'Star Crossed Lovers', 'Reading for the Rich and Famous' and 'Partying'...A book that intrigues one to go further is really the best book of all. Lester encourages readers to use their own intuition." -- Mary Ann Moore, excerpt from Story Circle Books review

"...really soaking it in. You (Tanya Lester) have a very natural way of writing, expressing yourself, I can hear your voice and see you smile-- in addition to that, great attention to detail with the format, grammar and spelling-- I'm still reading, and still enjoying." -- Lynn Thompson, 'Living on Purpose' radio show host & producer

"I finished your book last week and it answered so many questions I had about tea leaf reading and you personally. I really enjoyed the full spectrum that you covered. Thanks for writing it." -- Dawn McKay, former tea leaf reading workshop student & client

This book is the story of how a form of energy healing called Reiki and Tanya's ancestral spirits-one of whom lived in the middle east during the twelfth century-helped her find her passion and bliss. It describes how she uses her intuition to interpret the pictures in the loose tea leaves of her clients' cups to guide them into their futures. Stories of love, death, murder, violence, family, financial success and failure, sickness and health, travel, relationships, work, poverty and wealth, the famous and infamous, and pleasure and excruciating pain are told as Tanya remembers some of the numerous readings that she has given to people from all walks of life. It is a spirited book from a woman filled with spiritual guidance and blessed as a channel for Higher Power. You will not want to put it down.
