Historia
Sourdough bread fueled the labor that built the Egyptian pyramids. The Roman Empire distributed free sourdough loaves to its citizens to maintain political stability. More recently, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, sourdough bread baking became a global phenomenon as people contended with being confined to their homes and sought distractions from their fear, uncertainty, and grief. In Sourdough Culture, environmental science professor Eric Pallant shows how throughout history, sourdough bread baking has always been about survival.

Very entertaining story of the journey Pallant takes to learn the history of his sourdough starter. Filled with interesting history, science, and some recipes. I enjoyed Henning’s performance.

Brogan Grant, a Jacobite soldier, fought savagely on the battlefield and barely escaped capture. On the run, Brogan comes across what he thinks is a spy - a bonny lass disguised as a lad, who happens to be the daughter of his clan’s enemy. He admires her bravery, but he knows what can happen to a woman alone in a war-ravaged land. Fiona MacBean is determined to do her part to ensure there’s a Scottish king. In disguise, she delivers coded messages to rebels. There’s only one thing impeding her mission - a striking Highlander hell-bent on sending her home.

Nice happy ending romance with some history thrown in
Revisado: 01-03-23
Enjoyable read I wondered how much truth was stretched for the story and found an article on historyundressed.com that explains the story is based on true history.

Nice story
Revisado: 01-01-23
The story was interesting and complex. I had to keep reminding myself that this is an Irish story. The American accents were confusing. The mixing of readers was also confusing. Their readings were clear and with feeling; but I couldn’t imago any of them in Ireland

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

I loved the story. Grace is a science nerd but he’s also very human. Rusty is believable. I hope this story is made into a movie and wonder how Rusty will be portrayed. Although this is a great stand-alone story, I see lots of possibilities for sequels.

Wonderful
Revisado: 10-03-20
After watching another movie based on the book, I wondered what I was missing so I got this version from Audible. I not only got the full version of a wonderful story; but, with different narrators reading the parts I never guessed as to who was saying what. I’ll look for more like this.

Unbelievable
Revisado: 09-02-17
The main character is a cosseted 20 year old who constantly complains that she isn't treated like a woman. She acts like a 12 year old. This is too much to believe. Giving up in chapter 2.

Well done story excellent performance
Revisado: 07-14-17
Another nice romance by Lisa Kleypas with the usual excellent performance by Rosalyn Landor. I got the ebook along with the audio version. At about 90% through the ebook there are some jumbled text paragraphs which have been sorted out in the audio version. Even though the secret is hinted at in beginning of the story when the whole truth came out later there was still something of an "Ah" moment. Enjoyable read.

Good story
Revisado: 05-04-17
I enjoyed the complicated story. Well done. One thing that didn't ring true to me was a Yank "tucking in" and having a C.V. Yanks "dig in" and have resumes. Brits "tuck in" and have C.V.s. The characters didn't visit the UK either so I couldn't resolve where they picked up those terms. It's a small bother and didn't stop me from reading to the end. I enjoy Kristen Ashley's British stories and will probably stick with those in the future.

After moving to Austin following six months of unemployment back home, Iris Taylor knows she should be glad to have landed a job so quickly... even if the business is owned by a member of the same motorcycle club her estranged father used to belong to. Except Dex Locke might just be the biggest jerk she's ever met. He's rude and impatient, and he doesn't know how to tell time. And the last thing they ever expected was each other.

Under Locke seems targeted for YA
Revisado: 09-23-16
Callie Dalton did a great job with the narration. There was never any confusion between the various characters' voices. Iris was 24 but acted like she was 16. I would think most people having gone through the troubles she faced would have matured earlier than usual instead of still acting like a high-schooler at her age. I'm willing to suspend some disbelief but her immaturity was too much.

Historia
Kate Schechter would like to know why everyone she meets knows her name - and why Thor, the Norse god of thunder, keeps showing up on her doorstep. Dirk Gently, detective and refrigerator wrestler, can uncover the mystery, and only the absurdist wit of Douglas Adams can recount them with such relentless humor.

Loved it!
Revisado: 09-05-16
Strange story about Norse gods living with the rest of us. I loved the way the plot progressed. The author was the narrator. I believe this made the experience even better. There are times in other books when I suspect the narrator didn't really understand what the author meant. Listening to Douglas Adams narrate his own book allowed me to visualize the story as it went along. The author gave enough clues by the end of the story so I could be comfortable when the story finished.
