Historia
In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts, Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in which Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming to grips with his past work, choices, and family, and finding fulfillment in the new phases of his career.

Every Moment Like a Friend Beside Me
Revisado: 11-07-22
I learned of Wil Wheaton, as many might have over the age of 30, through the movie Stand By Me. I've seen him at Conventions, watched his shows, heard his words in many different ways & voice.
Nothing prepared me for this 360 of his perspective. I feel more relatable to him as his voice has not only calmed my anxiety about to drive after a hard day at work, but I understand where he is coming from. I am inspired by him to be an even BETTER person and appreciate his content as I am certain I'll quote him in my writings in education & inclusivity for our youth.
It is a LOT of hours of listening. I've enjoyed every moment. I'd pause when I needed to focus on found myself tuning out (daydreaming, not that he is boring).
These words are for the hungry for Knowledge & Connection between humans. It's loaded with MANY Geek/Nerd/Gamer jokes but his switching between his 29-year-old self & 39-year-old self is clever & helpful to keep up for the attentive listener! My mother who is still with me as of this writing was born blind in the South of the US. She has been inspired by you & I know she appreciates you too. Thank you for bringing us together in my rebel teen years to a single blind mother just doing her best.
Will recommend to others. Thank you, sir and I hope to meet you one day to say all this face to face.

A Revisit to the Prince Caspian Origins
Revisado: 10-19-22
This must be my third time or fourth visiting this story. This, however, differs as I'd never heard it on audio from Audible. This story is written upholding the pace and style of the other books, fantastically read by Redgrave! I appreciate her pacing and how I could stay awake and on the edge of my seat, as it were, while driving safely late at night!
There is a movie adaptation that holds a battle scene that doesn't take place in this book, but the idea was mentioned by a character. I feel all the better, as it would be rather tricky to explain such a battle scene in writing for the age range this series is targeted towards.
Despite that, however, the series really is geared towards one Important thing that all would do well to remember: History is truly what we make it and it's choice that sets us apart from one another in culture and society, not race or religion. A true reminder for all walks of life to remember that faith can see you through where love is the road.
It's really a shame sometimes we grow older and forget this, so hard fashioned in this world to see things as Susan & Peter started to. It's not really a sad thing, though I do wonder what will become of them next until The Final Battle.
I loved the nod to a particular character that I'd just finished reading about in A Horse & His Boy. This makes me want to learn everything about the timeline and events, which are the signs of a remarkable book series.
Until the next book then! Goodnight!

If you're at least the Age of 22 (Or otherwise consider yourself a "Decent Spirited individual" aware of Today's Strifes...)I Implore you to read/listen to this book again.
Even if you have recently. As I tell my Students "Every visit of a book is that with New Ears and a New Heart". This book may have you see our far past and our future to a bone-chilling extent but it will give you insight and assurance you are where you need to be.

Historia
The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected—she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed.

Breath-taking & Passionate
Revisado: 02-17-22
The writing for the main character is so perfectly vivid and I appreciate the clarity of the reader, Rong Fu, who does an alluring job portraying the characters with a steadiness that matches the pacing.
One can appreciate the concept of a twisted human society hellbent on heavily suppressing women and the lethal, indomitable spirit that is our heroine that fights to bring balance to this corrupt system.
This story intertwines perspective that can stun, passionate scenes that leave you forgetting to exhale, and hungry for the next electrifying battle scene between the giant gundam guardians and their horrific rivals.
Man Vs. Man plot concept doesn't even cover it. More like Woman Vs. The Universe with how amazingly written the main character is. She is tested and redefined in amazing ways that portray Progressive concepts that so many can relate to or come to better understand!
In short, highly recommended!

Historia
In his stunning works. Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life: Newford, where magic lights the dark streets, myths walk clothed in modern shapes, and a broad cast of extraordinary people work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of it all stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair and paint-splattered jeans, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows.

A Perfect Touch of Realistic Fantasy
Revisado: 09-11-21
I started this book long ago and never finished it. I always remembered Jilly and her friends though. I love the portrayal of the Dreamworld and "The World as it is" told in such a way that makes it almost just an arm reach away. Enchanting, even for an adult as I now reflect on it (where I was a teen when I'd started it).
Kate does a wonderful job of portraying different jobs, honing in on a splendid way of telling the listener who is speaking with such a focus that is really in the moment. I can't help but feel I'm IN the story at times.
For sure, a recommendation I'll give top praise on to friends that can appreciate as I do!

Grade A Advice, Take it From Me!
Revisado: 11-13-20
Funny, concise, clear, thorough, and most importantly relatable.
The real interviews with folks experienced in CS really helps the listener hear and even see them through their words and tone.
I would recommend this to anyone getting into Customer Service or just looking for a fresh, well though-out perspective on it.

Seeping Story as It Crawls Under the Skin
Revisado: 09-04-20
A dated story of the usual vampire genre, but read beautifully so. There is an aged note to the Narrator and a pleasant shift in characters so well done!
My only concern? Really lays with sometimes I would feel lulled. I like listening to my books on the way to work, but this reads best as a bedtime story for adults most of the way. But this is just me!

Kevin it humble while at the same time really reaching out to your negative outlook and inlook and helping his listeners kick it in the butt! A feeling of total transparency and experience throbs in the seemingly improv words of this book!
If you appreciate his humor as well as his insight in general, you won't be disappointed here. Take a listen, with all the intent and dedication to be a better person for YOU!

Historia
As the 19th-century philosopher Henry David Thoreau wrote, "It isn't enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?" If we want to take back control of our workday schedules and priorities, the simplest way to do it is by way of relentlessly wondering how we're spending our time. However, what questions ought we ask? The key here is control of attention. We're so distracted, and we're feeding that feeling on every occasion we switch between responsibilities. We need to (re)educate our attention.

Absorbable Quick Suggestions In Self Pacing
Revisado: 07-11-20
I am still getting use to the robotic pacing of speech to text presentation. I would have to say this is my closest gripe. However, I loved the length and the content on it as I am shifting to a lifestyle this insight addresses.
I feel like I have a friend in these words helping me pace my own schedule and balance my input/output (this is great for one with ADD.) I thank my managers for suggesting this and will be recommending it for anyone needing a little nudge or encouragement in work them management.

Historia
Felix would like nothing more than to take a vacation. A long one. One where he didn’t have to wake up every morning and worry over casualty lists for the day. Ever since he and the Legion had been forced to flee their headquarters four years previous, nothing had gone quite right. In fact, Felix and the Legion have been locked in a shadow war with enemies unknown. Ones with magic that could carve through their technology easily.

Another Flawless Installment
Revisado: 12-23-19
The story of Legion and Felix continues to impress and enthrall, sure to leave the reader awe-struck like the previous two before it. The pace and rhythm of the reader upholds very well, keeping listener on the edge of their seat and lost in the world at their ears.
I have to say Arand has a way with words I personally don't hear anymore. Something relative yet still has me feeling like a visiting citizen to his universe he created, feeling like a touring PC in one of his role-playing games. This element is truly what brings to life for those that appreciate the role-playing game pastime and just of fantasy stories with organic depth alike.
Plenty of heartfelt moments, heartpounding action, and pleasant twists to keep the reader/listener eager to return to the next chapter, I am sure! Consider tins series a gift for your fantasy-loving bookworm that comes to mind now. Or a gift for yourself!
