Great imaginative world
Revisado: 09-22-24
This spin in the Victorian Henry the VIII Era really gets your mind thinking. It vividly brings to the foreground the roles and few options available to women even those from powerful families. Romance novels are always so keen to romantize and gloss over the real challenges women had to simply accept and overcome. This book while not even close to a romance book does bring forward, what we in the model age, would consider the very backwards thinking of the roles between men and women. I appreciate the time research this authauthor took to get some critcal and not so critical historical notes correct. This really gave the story enough truth while weaving her creative license so the reader is entrapped in a wonderful mystery. Even though I was able to guess a few things would happen I'm left wanting to know more because, while this chapter may be closed, the story is just getting started. I'm on the the next book in the series!

Historia
For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, after a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere 36 hours longer.

This is a poignant book about love and infertility. it focuses on finding love for a second time after being widowed and addresses the fears of infertility in a very graceful manner. I'd read it again.

Excellent. Wonderful twists and unexpected turns! I know I'll re-listen to this audiobook and probably notice something I didn't hear the first time around to only enrich the plot even further.

Fantasy Romance with a Twist
Revisado: 05-12-24
I like how this was a slow burn. This book had a definite plot and was well thought out. I particularly enjoyed the comic relief from different characters, the development of the characters as regular people over coming trauma, and risking intimate attachment with another person. These are real topics in our world that was well addressed in the fantasy world. I enjoyed it so much that I listened to this book 3 times in succession.

Appreciation and Understanding
Revisado: 03-06-24
When I originally started the concept of Marie Kondo method with the first book I appreciated the mechanics of the process but didn't appreciate nor understand the relationship between things we own and why purging is so difficult. I listened to the book 4 or 5 times to try and figure out what I'm missing. With each listening session, I truly rolled my eyes every time I was asked to thank an item for its use and let it go. And the other eye roll was instigated by, "Does this bring you joy?" My only real focus with the first book was to 'get on with it' and get my home in order. Well, guess what? I'm still trying to finish and I have to admit that it was the failure of understanding this philosophy that has blocked my ability to truly achieve this. This book has left me with a lot to work through with my own pocessions. I may have to re-listen to this audiobook as I work through my relationship with stuff.

Historia
Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.

I've listened to this book several times and each time I pickup another point I was possibly not ready to hear the previous times. For me, this is a new change so I know that my skill will continue to evolve.

Improved Understanding
Revisado: 03-02-24
Not everyone has the same reason for DNA testing so that will effect the focus of your project. This has allowed me to better understand how DNA testing and genealogy work together and how they differ. It also provides information on types of testing and what information can best be gleamed from it depending on your project's criteria. Lastly, the PDF bonus material allows you to follow the author's rational along with resources/guides to help you with your next step in you project. I especially liked the chapter on hitting a brick wall because it offers clues depending on the generation you're working on in your family tree.

Genealogy 101
Revisado: 02-26-24
I'd done my husband's family tree with barely any difficulty years ago. I thought that it would was about time to do my side of the family. I had no idea that my side was so convoluted! I kept running into walls and I knew it was because I didn't have enough resource materials. This book was very straightforward in providing information where and how to start for a newbie. I appreciated this because there were so many resources I had not considered. This shed weeks off and prevented a lot of frustration into my project. Thank you.
