Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Beyond the Press, behind the scenes
Revisado: 01-15-23
While everyone knows the story of Prince Harry, the infamous "spare" to the English throne, we only know what the press and the Palace have told us. This is the first time we hear his life in his words, not apologizing for anything.
Like most of the people of the world, we all assumed that royalty was not as complicated as Harry has shown it. In fact, the world was surprised by how he and his family been treated since day one of the marriage. I think that people are still in shock from what this book has said. Harry said he would hold nothing back, and he didn't to the smallest detail.
Strength is seen through this book, from his time during his childhood, his mother's death and his growth into adulthood. Sadly the royalty is a big bully the moment you want to do something a little different than what they wanted you to do. Harry is a very strong person beyond the strength he needed to get through his life just as a person.
This book goes to show that fame, wealth and royalty is not the end all be all for anyone. It is just a very thin facade that is held forward for the world to see. Like his mother, he has taken to book form for his truth to come out. It was the best thing he did. Now no one can refute his truth.

Historia
He was a gentle dreamer whose genial bearded visage was recognized around the world, but most people got to know him only through the iconic characters born of his fertile imagination: Kermit the Frog, Bert and Ernie, Miss Piggy, Big Bird. The Muppets made Jim Henson a household name, but they were just part of his remarkable story.

Learned much about the man behind the frog
Revisado: 06-15-22
Growing up, we all knew Jim Henson as the man behind The Muppets and most of all, Sesame Street. This show was a large part of my growing up, as sure as it was in yours. All I knew was that he was the voice of Kermit and many others Muppets. What I didn't know surprised me. A serial cheater, womanizer and workaholic. While a workaholic isn't so bad, boy he sure wasn't a great person in that area of his life. The book went into great detail about it. Almost too much.
Regardless, he was a loving and kind person. It showed in his work. Just goes to show, you never know what is behind the curtain. Thank you Mr. Henson for making my life fun.

Another Noni series hit out of the park
Revisado: 03-30-22
Recently finished her Maeorian Chronicles, so I looked to see if Lynnette Noni had any more books. Two more series popped up, the Whisper series and The Prison Healer series. Unfortunately, Prison Healer I needed credits to listen to, so I chose Whisper, which was in the Plus Catalog. Glad I did. Great shrt series. Very different from Maeorian Chronicles, but her penchant for strong female leadership is equal. A good listen for tweeters and up.👍👍 from this listener!

Very good part 1
Revisado: 03-29-22
After listening to the major 8 book series Lysette wrote about the fantasy world of Alex Jennings, I went looking for more of her work. Lucky for me, I found Whisper series and The Gilded Age series. Since both of the books for Whisper are free, I chose to try this one. Boy is it different from the world of Meya. Dystopian Earth with teens who have power through words. Excellent idea considering how much that is true. Can't wait for the second book.

Historia
In the wake of loss and devastation, Alex must cast aside her grief to seek aid from those who banished the Meyarins long ago. But the proud Tia Aurans care little for the woes of mortals and demand that Alex - and her friends - undergo the Gates of Testing to prove their world is worth saving. With an ancient prophecy looming, Alex must confront the secrets of her past if she is to survive long enough to see the future. For if she returns to Medora without the Tia Aurans by her side, all hope will be lost.

Revisado: 03-28-22
Read the whole series. Only review on last book.
This was heck of a ride. One human on a journey not just to survive a new school, but to help a foreign world survive destruction literally by a power hungry man who has it out for human beings.
It all started innocently enough in book 1 going to a new school mid-year because her parents decided to go to an archaeological dig and not take her. Being home schooled all her life, she was initially bitter until she entered the administrative office...this is where her life truly begins.
The narrator is awesome. She easily takes on all of the characters and their personalities easily. This is minus the 5th book, where it is about her 3 best friends. In this book, 3 separate narrators take over each short story dedicated to Dix, Jordan and Bear.
The author chose well for each actor.
Hope you enjoy this series like I did. It is also a great listen for kids, starting at 8 or so.

Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Had to finish the book!
Revisado: 03-18-22
This book was very well written. This was the second prince and the pauper type story I have read this week. This one was much, much better. Without giving away too much, a everyday woman was asked, at just the right time mind you, to pretend to be a famous actress from China while she is in Canada for 2 months. At first the actor who came with the actress is cold and not sure of the idea. As time goes on all of the characters become closer.
There is plenty of comedy and emotion for laughs and smiles. The author did a great job of describing everything. For a first book, a thumbs up!👍👍 Unfortunately, I had to finish the book to the end. Luckily, I had nothing to do!😁

Now that we work together, I have no choice but to get close to the arrogant ass if I want to keep my job.

Couldn't finish book

Out of the whole series of these books, it was this one I could not finish. It was a slugfest just to get a few chapters in. Loved the rest of the "Never Date " series however.

When there are many books in a series, I always wait for the last book for the review. All 3 books were very good. my only problem was when one of my favorite characters died. Very upsetting. Otherwise I loved it.

Not sure why people had issues with certain things the main characters did as humans. The author doesn't do anything different that hadn't been written in Greek and Roman mythology, that the Gods did when taking on human form on earth . I love how it has finally been done with angels. It has been done in a good way.

Better than the movie (minus accent).
Revisado: 02-12-22
The actor could have at least used a Southern accent when performing. This book took place there, but you would not have known it by the narrator. The book was better, as usual than the movie, with Jennifer Aniston. The actress who played Willadean, was excellent. If you haven't seen Dumplin', I highly recommend. It is on Netflix.
