Snow is falling, holiday lights are twinkling, and Abby Cohen is pissed. For one thing, her most annoying customer, Seth, has been coming into her café every morning with his sunshiny attitude, determined to break down her carefully constructed emotional walls. And, as the only Jew on the tourism board of her Vermont town, Abby's been charged with planning their fledgling Hanukkah festival. Unfortunately, the local vendors don’t understand that the story of Hanukkah cannot be told with light-up plastic figures from the Nativity scene, even if the Three Wise Men wear yarmulkes.

It’s a Jewish rom com. Easy read. The audio version proved to be a good performance.

When Lynsi Snyder’s grandparents founded In-N-Out Burger in 1948, they built it with a passion for quality and service that Lynsi embraced at a young age. After starting as a store associate at age seventeen, she then worked in other departments, gaining firsthand experience with almost every aspect of the family business until she became president in 2010. She has led the company through explosive growth—today, there are three-hundred-ninety-two stores and counting—and is deeply committed to the well-being of the In-N-Out Burger family.

You will love the book if you love In-N-Out
Revisado: 11-26-23
I would’ve liked to hear a little more about the author herself. It’s definitely interesting if you own a business…some great insight there. It felt a little redundant at times and at points felt like a commercial for In-n-Our. There were actual recordings of her family members and executives that were played throughout. Very cool. The history and philosophy is definitely interesting.

Jenny Dawson moved to Nashville to write music, not get famous. But when her latest record goes double platinum, Jenny's suddenly one of the town's biggest stars - and the center of a tabloid scandal connecting her with a pop star she's barely even met. With paparazzi tracking her every move, Jenny flees to a remote mansion in Louisiana to write her next album. The only hiccup is the unexpected presence of a brooding young caretaker named Noah, whose foul mouth and snap judgments lead to constant bickering - and serious heat.

Allison Hong is not your typical 15-year-old Taiwanese girl. Unwilling to bend to the conditioning of her Chinese culture, which demands that women submit to men’s will, she disobeys her father’s demand to stay in their faith tradition, Buddhism, and instead joins the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then, six years later, she drops out of college to serve a mission—a decision for which her father disowns her.

Story was moving. The narrator was perfect!
Revisado: 09-28-22
A story of hope, reliance and triumph. The author took you through all of her emotions so beautifully. In the hundreds of books I’ve read, I typically don’t look over the acknowledgments. I am so glad I did for this book. It was an extension or epilogue of the story. And knowing the author, I found it cute and funny.
The narrator genuinely connected with the character and the story. I read actual books and listen to audio books. This is one I’m so glad I had on audio, it really brought the story alive.

Part biography, part history, and part memoir, Caged Lion untangles for the first time Joseph Pilates’s opaque life story and the perilous journey of his exercise program known the world over as Pilates. This is the story of Joseph Pilates, a gifted man who immigrated to the United States at forty-three with no assets or credentials. He not only invented an exercise regimen - which today is practiced by more than ten million people - but in the process, reinvented himself.

What an incredible recollection and tribute to the start of Pilates. I especially loved how the author described Mr. Pilates so well that you felt like you knew him.

Cat Cora has an incredible journey. She put it all out there for the reader. Sincere and self-aware. I hope she writes a follow up for everything in more recent years.
The narrator was great but I do wish Cat was the narrator.

Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. She is nothing like her lifelong best friend - the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content. But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man.

A great beach read
Revisado: 04-09-21
This is a great chick-lit book. The story of a beautiful and life long friendship between two very opposite women. I loved the lesson conveyed in this book: playing it safe and predictable is just that. But if you take a leap of faith, there is a life that is far better than you would ever know.

In the South, you always say “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am.” You know everybody’s business. Football is a lifestyle, not a pastime. Food — especially dessert — is almost a religious experience. And you protect your friends as fiercely as you protect your family — even if the threat is something you cannot see.

Beautiful story about life long friends
Revisado: 05-28-20
I really loved this book. It’s about such a beautiful friendship but there are some great surprises in the plot throughout which make it so much fun. Be ready with a box of tissues...some of the scenes are so moving. I’m glad I listened to it instead of read it because I wouldn’t be able to read the words through my tears. The character development was incredible, especially when it came to the narrator.

I’ve read tons of spiritual books but this one was very special. It was very straight forward with exercises and methods that are very doable and don’t require HUGE amounts of time devoted to a series of practices to do daily. Her suggestions are pretty quick, useful, practical and effective. It was read by the author and she included poetry and wonderful quotes. The author is very honest about her own journey and I loved hearing about all the miracles that unfolded for her. The author has a very relatable life experience with an authentic and intuitive melody.
