Historia
Justin C. Key has long been obsessed with monsters. Reading R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps as a kid, he imagined himself battling monsters and mayhem to a triumphant end. But when watching Scream 2, in which the movie’s only Black couple is promptly killed off, he realized that the Black and Brown characters in his favorite genre were almost always the victim or villain—if they were portrayed at all.

A very strange group of short stories
Revisado: 01-15-24
The narrator was perfect. The emotions that it generated me left me sad somehow.. congratulations to the author for exploring those feelings.. The book is well worse to read. Hope to hear more from him.

Historia
Since Anabelle’s mother left for Earth to care for her own ailing mother, her days in New Galveston have been spent at school and her nights at her laconic father’s diner with Watson, the family Kitchen Engine and dishwasher, as her only companion. When the Silence came, and communication and shipments from Earth to its colonies on Mars stopped, life seemed stuck in foreboding stasis until the night Silas Mundt and his gang attacked.

Beautiful prose, good setting, flavorless and derivative and plodding plot.

Hey, Siri weird story
Revisado: 01-14-24
It was a very strange story, but well worth the read. The narrator was perfect for this type of book. The timeframe was just so unusual. It was hard to keep up sometimes.

Historia
Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches—but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined.

As always excellent
Revisado: 10-30-23
My only disappointment with this book is that Bill O’Reilly did not narrate it. I truly missed his voice.
The other gentleman did fine, but nothing is like O’Reilly’s voice relating to these historical novels.

This book is now one of my favourite books of all time. I am now on my third listen. The story is an original concept and expertly laid out. Ann writes her characters beautifully and of course Meryl brings them to life. kudos to both ladies for bringing 12 hours of joy into my life.

I thought I would be reading a book that the movie was based on. I got so much more. I an education of the fishing industry, and what those men and their wives go through. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
It’s easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, and all-around diva, Porter was a young boy who didn’t fit in.

Revisado: 07-06-23
As an elderly, white woman, I struggled with this. I put it down and picked it up a couple of times. I was raised without prejudice. I never in my life, in my home, heard derogatory statement about any race. But really for the first time in my life, I truly understand the struggle that Black people have suffered. Thank you Billy Porter for bringing this knowledge to me. I highly recommend this memoir to anyone brave enough to read it.

From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

Tom Hanks is turning into as good an author as he is an actor. The plot was original and very interesting. This is the book that I will read again and enjoy again. Congratulations time. Job well done.

Historia
They were called Easy Company, but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foy, where Easy Company reached its breaking point, and finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Outside Munich, they liberated an S.S. death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat.

A must read again
Revisado: 02-20-23
I was born in 1943, during the war. My father was based in Florida working for some general. My dad and his buddy tried to get transferred to Europe. The general said no and promoted them to sergeant instead. Reading this book made me realize what they may have faced. I am pleased he stayed home to be my father. But oh so proud of all the men who fought in World War Two. We can only hope and pray that this country can once again produce such an amazing generation but it has to start with our political leaders. I am afraid all hope is lost.

Please stop the background noise
Revisado: 09-01-22
I always enjoy Nicholas Sparks books. The background music and sound effects were so annoying I almost didn’t finish it. The story was good as always but from now on I will listen to the sample to be sure there is none of the background noise. Your stories are always so sweet and wonderful and do not need that kind of support.
