Historia
With a disarming mix of charm and Tammany-hewn toughness, Rosenberg began her career in public relations in 1920s Manhattan. As FDR's unofficial adviser, Rosenberg soon wielded enormous influence—no less potent for being subtle. Her extraordinary career continued after his death. By 1950, she was tapped to become the assistant secretary of defense—the highest position ever held by a woman in the US military—prompting Senator Joe McCarthy to wage an unsuccessful smear campaign against her.

The tenacity and bravery of Anna was amazing!
Revisado: 04-29-25
The narrator did a great job in depicting the various roles, and specifically that of Anna. I wish I had been taught more about women like her as I was growing up. it gives hope to the next generation that we can really make a difference. we put our minds to it and work together.

Historia
Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz, Poland. The proud sons of a watchmaker, Harry and his two brothers, Mailekh and Moishe, studied their father's trade at a young age. Upon the German invasion of Poland, when the Lenga family was upended, Harry and his brothers never anticipated that the tools acquired from their father would be the key to their survival. Under the most devastating conditions imaginable, fixing watches for the Germans in the ghettos and brutal slave labor camps of occupied Poland and Austria bought their lives over and over again.

Historia
When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no? This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat.

I always enjoy a great Ruth Reichel story. Her descriptions of food and all that accompanies that are simply amazing? It's fun to listen to her narration as well. From one Ruth to another, thank you!

Revisado: 05-08-24
This book is another great example of the tragic history of the second world war and the atrocities that Nazi Germany imposed on Austria and the neighboring countries. Fortunately, in this instance, the rightful owners of the Gustav Klempt painting weren't able to prevail.

Drizzt Do’Urden has become the Hunter, the bane of the orc hordes still ravaging the North. Cut off, alone, convinced that everything he ever valued has been destroyed, all that’s left is to kill, and kill, and kill, until there are no enemies left. But there are a lot of enemies, and even the Hunter is just one lone drow.

It's so nice to be back with Drizzit and the original saga! In addition, I love Victor Bevines delivery of the series and the variety of inflections he lends to the voices for each of the characters.

Bring back Victor Bevine!
Revisado: 10-21-23
This is one of the ongoing Drizzt Do'Urden series, by Salvatore, that diverges from the story of Drizzt and his clan, and continues with the story lines of Jarlaxle and Entreri. The book introduces a new cast of characters that provide more insight into the lives of Jarlaxle and Entreri, but has little mention of Drizzt. The story itself is interesting, but unfortunately the narration is provided by "David Colacci", rather than "Victor Bevine". Did they ask Colacci if he had ever read, or been introduced to the series before asking him to be the narrator? His inability to correctly pronounce many of the characters names was very odd. Until he started to describe them, I didn't always know if he was describing an ongoing character or introducing a new one. Even his inability to differentiate (change the tone, inflection, etc.) between characters in a scene was confusing. I look forward to getting back to the series as narrated by Victor Bevine!

Historia
Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side, understanding more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.

A Remarkable Woman
Revisado: 11-10-22
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this novel. She was more than an incredible actress. She had a brilliant mind that made a REAL impact in World War II and in our modern technology. Kudos Heddy!
