I am not happy to listen to the violence that is unfortunately important to this series.

Historia
Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

Wonderful book recording!
Revisado: 05-07-24
I loved all the book. It's special because 1) It's as if he's telling the story to the listeners, not just reading; 2) He talks about having a different brain and what a struggle it is, and the childhood wounding that can happen as a consequence; 3) his wife reads her own sections! The ending is excellent.

Historia
“Can I kiss you?” It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he’d carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.

Excellent and much- needed recounting of the Trans journey
Revisado: 03-27-24
His absolute frank willingness to share the painful emotional journey our culture imposes on someone with gender dysphoria is remarkable. The book is consistently engaging - an easy listen, although about a tough topic. His clear verbal recognition of his personal privilege while dealing with the tremendous stresses and societal blocks is well-placed to help the reader continue to reflect long after reading the book. I recommend it!

Beautiful descriptions
Revisado: 02-24-24
Interesting people. lovely accents. good character development and descriptions. I loved the detail of the glass art process, and the energy and creative process of the artist herself. The descriptions of the art openings were just enough for one to evision them. The emotions and personal changes were maybe a bit quick, but the overall effect was within the scale of the story.

Restless and uncertain of her future in the wake of World War I, former battlefield nurse Bess Crawford agrees to travel to Yorkshire to help a friend of her cousin Melinda through surgery. But circumstances change suddenly when news of a terrible accident reaches them. Bess agrees to go to isolated Scarfdale and the Neville family, where one man has been killed and another gravely injured. The police are asking questions, and Bess is quickly drawn into the fray as two once close families take sides, even as they are forced to remain in the same house until the inquest is completed.

Excellent mystery and complicated characters and plot as usual. I love that it is done by the same narrator, who is quite good. It is interesting that there are some of the same characters as in the Ian Rutledge series, so we glimpse them as distant friends. I am looking forward to reading the next one!

Historia
A reluctant ex-spy with demons of her own, Elinor finds herself facing down one of the most dangerous organized crime gangs in London, ultimately exposing corruption from Scotland Yard to the highest levels of government. The private, quiet “Miss White" as Elinor is known, lives in a village in rural Kent, England, and to her fellow villagers seems something of an enigma. Well she might, as Elinor occupies a "grace and favor" property, a rare privilege offered to faithful servants of the Crown for services to the nation.

The characters and circumstances are so real, the way they are in Ms. Winspear's Masie Dobbs books. I recommend this one if you are interested in the 1930s and 40s in England.

Barbara Crain Major and Joseph Barndt bring ninety combined years of experience as community organizers, teachers, and anti-racism trainers in community and church settings to this book. In Deconstructing Racism, they propose the deconstruction of racism's roots within systems and institutions that have been created, both structurally and legally, to serve white people.

Revisado: 05-29-23
This is a detailed and clear call for basic, structural change towards creating the true Beloved Community within our churches and all of our institutions. I will be re-reading this and sharing its importance with anyone and everyone who is willing to listen. The author points to the core reasons that racism continues now, and she challenges us to do the work she outlines to erase this evil from our country.

imaginative and enjoyable
Revisado: 12-22-22
I have been thoroughly enjoying Becky Chambers' writing. Her alien races and environments have been creative and interesting without the descriptions being too complex or weighed-down with detail that might inspire criticism. Her perspective and reflections on human culture-centeredness are interesting and on point. I enjoy Her characters very much.

Historia
After touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) and Mosscap (a robot sent on a quest to determine what humanity really needs) turn their attention to the villages and cities of the little moon they call home. They hope to find the answers they seek, while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe. Becky Chambers's new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?

Historia
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

This book will appeal to those who are of a philosophical frame of mind. Lots to reflect on. I expect that I will want to return to it often, and will recommend it often. The performance helps it stay life-filled and engaging also.
