Identity

Nora Roberts holds me spellbound with every book. A good, timely story. Her characters are well written and her stories are enthralling. She researches carefully. She is one of my favorite authors.

An Addition to my list...

Revisado: 01-07-20

I am officially adding this to my list of very favorite books. I average 4 books/week, and have for over 50 years. My favorites list is short. This title is near the top. Well written, full of interesting turns. The characters are delightful.

On My List...

Revisado: 09-01-19

It is on my list of all time favorite books. I am a voracious reader. I can read 3-5 books a week, or listen to them. I do not listen to music in my car-I listen to Audible. So...when I say this is on my list of all time favorite books, that means it is in the top 25 of thousands of books read over 55+years.

I love this story. It lets us into a world that many of us didn't really know existed. I had read 'Farewell to Manzar' in elementary school, and was aware of the Internment camps. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet takes it out of the book of dry historical facts and adds a human component. Historical fiction is one of my favorite ways to learn history. Henry and Keiko's world becomes very real. An excellent story, and an excellent reminder that history happens to real people.

Well narrated, an overall great listen!

Hilary's Side of the Story

Revisado: 09-01-19

I am not a strong Hilary fan. I have admired much she has done, but I have also had many questions. I enjoyed listening to her tell us her part of the election. I have never doubted that she should be the President. I would recommend this book as a good way to learn about Hilary Clinton from her own words.

Meet Jill Biden

Revisado: 09-01-19

I very much enjoyed getting to know Mrs. Biden through her story. I knew bits and pieces of the story, and I always enjoyed seeing her work with Michelle Obama during the Obama administration. It is an excellent listen.

A Good Listen

Revisado: 03-31-19

A fascinating listen. I very much feel like I am right in the middle of the action. James Patterson is a favorite. Pres. Clinton added a delightful sense of reality to listening.

What's not to love?

Revisado: 03-31-19

I am an avid knitter, and I love a good mystery! This is a great listen. I get a lot of knitting done when I listen. Thank you, Sally Goldenbaum, for a delightful read.

An Adult View

Revisado: 03-31-19

I was 13 during the 1968 campaign. I vividly remember the loss of Dr. King, and RFK. I was too young to totally understand, but old enough to be aware. I remember my heart breaking for the children that lost their fathers. I also remember that my mother supported Gene McCarthy and my father supported Richard Nixon. They never argued about it, but they joked that they always canceled each others votes out. Now that same father does not vote Republican. This book was excellent. I have great respect for Lawrence O'Donnell. This book added to my respect. I really appreciated the review of that political election. I can see how critical the 1968 election was. We are where we are because of that election. Well written, and an excellent listen. I particularly enjoy it when I listen to a non fiction book narrated by the author.

Getting to know them

Revisado: 03-31-19

I listened to 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama before I listened to 'Sisters First'. I realized, listening to Becoming, that listening to a memoir is so much more personal that reading it. I loved both girls, and I was reminded how many things we share as human beings, even if we don't share political ideas. I loved the girls, and their parents, their grandparents. Again, I felt like I was siting down, sharing a coffee and talking with these beautiful ladies.

Delightful

Revisado: 03-31-19

I was totally enthralled by Michelle Obama's book. She lets us get to know her a wonderful, loving woman. She doesn't use the memoir to justify anything. I felt like I had shared a coffee break with her. I talked to her as I listened. Sharing the events that we, as mothers, share. Talking about her growing up, my growing up. In this memoir I found a friend. I loved listening to it vs. listening to it. That made it so much more personal.
