Historia
Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is hygge. Loosely translated, hygge - pronounced hoo-ga - is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. "Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience," Wiking explains. "It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe."

Thought-provoking and Inspiring
Revisado: 12-02-22
This book is wonderful. It not only explains the concept of Hygge in a comprehensive and relatable way, the information (even the more statistical or scientific points) is delivered in a way that is very entertaining and humorous.

Historia
The young man with the shock of white-blond hair lay spread-eagled on the floor, surrounded by fallen books. His hand reached out to the scattered pages, as though he was trying to tell her something. But who is he? How did he come to be killed in Flora’s ordinary little bookshop? Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.

Historia
Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Another great installment
Revisado: 07-23-22
I really enjoyed this book, as I have the others in this series. Amanda Flower's series are generally fun, light-hearted reads and this series is my favorite. I love the simple magical element and that it supports rather than becomes the plot. Clever mysteries keep you guessing and follow to a logical conclusion. Overall well written and the narration is wonderful.

Good story
Revisado: 07-15-22
As the first in a series, the was a good start. The plot was well done, and the premise of the garden is intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes as the series continues. However, the narration was very difficult to get past. She does a good job with all the other voices but her interpretation of a Nashville accent for the main character is just terrible, especially with certain words. I got past most of it but every time she said "protest " I flinched and nearly stopped the book.

Historia
At the height of WWII, five idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the OSS, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds - a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer - all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of his or her own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly.

Gripping, Beautiful Story.
Revisado: 07-22-21
Dragonfly is perfectly written and performed. The grand scale and number of characters to keep up with was daunting in the beginning but rich, intimate details and emotional stories brought even the minor characters into focus. I was completely invested and couldn't stop listening to it. An amazing book, well worth the read.

Loved this book. Could not quit listening to it. I had high expectations because I really enjoyed "Something in the Water" and this one exceeded those expectations.

Historia
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

Fascinating and a little sad
Revisado: 08-26-20
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. It's certainly a glimpse into the world of 70s rock n roll - the process of writing music, becoming the band, the drugs & craziness. But moreover it's a really moving look at why people do the things they do, and what they'll do for people they love. Overall, it's just a beautiful story.

Wildly imaginative and fun fantasy adventure
Revisado: 08-24-19
Book 2 expands the fantastical world of the Athena Club out of London throughout Europe, adding strange new characters and it's hard to guess who is an ally and who an enemy. These books are just fun and Kate Reading does a great job distinguishing voices and accents of so many diverse characters.

Third Book in Series - very good overall
Revisado: 07-13-19
The 3rd installment is overall very good, although I thought it moved a little slower getting to any action, not quite as tension filled as the first two. It's definitely worth the read (listen) but the title is misleading, Houdini's role is fairly minor in the plot, and for a story set on an ocean liner, it should have felt much more constricted or claustrophobic.
