“I’m fine.” That Southern expression which says, “I am spiraling madly out of control, but don’t you worry, sweetheart.” Welcome to Liberty, Georgia. Population 2,424. Sweet old Ruth Chambers passed away after a lengthy illness, so that number might be off by one or two. The sign hasn’t been updated in a while. Everybody knows everybody and their business. There’s a town square and two traffic lights. One on the way into town and one on the way out. Nothing bad ever happens here. Frances Hunt is at her breaking point. She has a hellraising teenaged son and a mother, who is ...

When All You Wanted was your Michael Kors shoes back!
Revisado: 04-09-25
This book was an absolute hoot! If you’ve grown up in the South, you will recognize some of these characters in your own family. All the unlucky accidents that propel the story forward are hilarious. I found myself cheering on the criminal activities and hoping they DIDN’T get caught!

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

They just throw the facts too fast

British Book read by an American
Revisado: 05-12-21
This book was written by a British gentleman, but it is read by an American. I am going to assume this was a change made for the American audience?!
This is not the first book I have run across to do this…it can be ok…but the incorrect pronunciations of a lot of proper names might drive you insane. [Example: if you are a Doctor Who fan, the pronunciation of “Dalek” will shred your soul.]
Also, I question the validity of a number of American “facts,” especially the one insinuating that the only reason George Washington didn’t want to create a dictatorship/monarchy was because he did not have any natural born children. Um, no…
Anyway…some are fun, some are weird and some are horrifying…take the facts with a grain of salt!
