Historia
Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world....

fine, good, not the most compelling work of my favorite author.
Revisado: 10-29-24
I love Brandon Sandersons work, this book was fine, but it has taken me a while to get into it and I would say it is not in the same league as The Way of Kings series, and some of his better novels/novellas. I struggled to get invested in the characters and the story from page to page, but of course the end plot and reveal was a satisfying payoff. I am continuing to read the series.

Historia
In The Gardener and the Carpenter, pioneering developmental psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik argues that the familiar 21st-century picture of parents and children is profoundly wrong - it's not just based on bad science, it's bad for kids and parents, too. Drawing on the study of human evolution and her own cutting-edge scientific research into how children learn, Gopnik shows that although caring for children is profoundly important, it is not a matter of shaping them to turn out a particular way.

some good nuggets to think on
Revisado: 05-22-20
I found lots of insightful stories and perspectives. My spouse (psychology minor) found it all very obvious and long winded. So, 4 stars in the middle.

not what I would normally read but amazing
Revisado: 10-13-19
This book was hard for me. Not the type of book I would normally read and a bit slower in pace then books I tend to pick up. But it makes you really feel what the characters are going through to a level that few books reach. very happy to have finished it.

Historia
The fourth title in Dawn Dais' popular parenting series, The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy is quite possibly the funniest and most heartfelt yet. After all, pregnancy is not all about scanning Pinterest for baby shower themes and registering for ironic onesies, and sometimes the less flattering aspects of gestation have a way of dimming a bit of that so-called pregnancy glow. Not to worry! Dawn is here, ready to shepherd you through the experience of one human body taking on the task of growing another human body.

got old fast, didnt take away a lot
Revisado: 10-14-18
as a new mom im looking for searched fact based information, this one is funny and entertaining but ultimately didnt give me a lot of practical applications to take away. but a LOT of personal stories from the author and friend if that is what you are seeking. and the tone is trying to be funny and entertaining but it just didnt quite hit my funnybone so it got old fast for me. (maybe because I havent had my baby yet I could not yet relate to the jokes).

Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty - when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.

enjoyable lite read
Revisado: 10-09-18
Don't think too hard. The main character will make a lot of rash decisions for someone so old. Women are written in a way that almost always concentraints on looks (this is somewhat in character). The plot is simple but ok. the story is funny, easy to listen too, and well performed.

Historia
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries....

funny and entertaining

this is a very lighthearted and funny story. the tone of the character was potentially not realistic but I loved it anyway. I enjoyed it and would recommend.

a terrible terrible twighlight rip off
Revisado: 08-02-18
I was so excited for this book. I loved twighlight to my shame, but I hated how weak bella was and how unhealthy and unbalance their relationship was. so when this main female character started as a strong, smart, driven, independent woman I celebrated. and then proceeded to mourn as the character regressed during her relationship and became pathetic, helpless, petulant. dissapointing.

Historia
From #1 New York Times-best-selling author Nora Roberts comes a novel of a woman who needs nothing, a man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed, and danger that brings them together - and that could tear them apart… As a professional house-sitter and freelance writer, nothing ties Lila Emerson down - not her work, not a home, and definitely not a relationship. She spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a friend's Manhattan apartment.

first half was great, second half was not as great
Revisado: 05-22-18
usually do not like this authors tendency to explain every little detail and how everything works and why, but it really worked well for the first portion of the book. keeping a fantastical event grounded. but the second half lost that grounding and I lost interest. still finished, and would recommend for the first half.
