Every family’s drama - but in a good way

Revisado: 06-22-24

Much like diets, a huge sum of money can increase or shrinks parts that you didn’t want to grow or reduce. You can’t have the good without the bad. In this book, a Jewish NJ family members who always pondered “what would I do if I had all the money in the world?” actually has a chance to act accordingly when they win the lottery. At the absence of their dominant, loving mom, they need to grow up and make decisions on family and money that they never really needed to consider; and find out that it’s financial comfort that drives them out of their comfort zone.
I found the book funny, heartwarming and interesting, and liked the fact that everyone was essentially a good - not flawless - person, trying to carve their way in the world.

Better than any marketing course I’ve taken

Revisado: 03-26-24

I feel lucky to have been privy to the method behind the cult that is Trader Joe’s. The principles, the learnings, unveiling so much of the Supply Side and M&A strategy, employee management, and of course branding and marketing. I definitely recommend for anyone interested in business and strategy.

Another great King

Revisado: 09-14-23

Seems like many of the reviewers did not like the constant “political” references. However, since we all lived through these times, and as the author says next generations wouldn’t be able to grasp it - I thought it was great that King captured a moment in history so unimaginable that, as he says in his “author’s note”, he indeed never thought about this possibility when setting If It Bleeds in Dec, 2020.
I also found that the depiction of racism, homophobia, and anti-vaccination in respected elderly scholars to be a very good unmasking (ha ha) of our biases towards people.

Beautiful, funny and heartwarming

Revisado: 02-07-23

As always, Amy Poeppel reminds us not to judge harshly and make room for people - physically with our hospitality and mentally for changing. Friendships and love win yet again over anger and revenge. Great narration, too!

What a heartwarming, clever book

Revisado: 11-30-22

I loved this book. If it wasn't for my book club I would not have picked it up, but I'm so glad it was the book of the month.
I recommended it to all my friends and will buy copies to give them.
I love Cheryl Strayed's outlook on life and her ability to literally read between the lines.

I'll tell you this - I regret reading it

Revisado: 11-30-22

You never regret a good book, do you?
You do!
This was so depressing, so manipulative that the great writing did not redeem it in any way.
I usually love Celeste Ng's books, and this came highly recommended, but it was just too terrible for me.

Fresh and Fun

Revisado: 09-08-22

Another "I wish Lily Chu was my bestie" conjuring book. The female protagonist is smart, fierce, takes no ish, and unknowingly (and uncaringly) beautiful, and I enjoyed every moment of this escapism into the world of what is probably a BTS-like universe. The "regular ol' girl smashed into celebrity" genre carries an indulgent promise that is not always delivered, but this book seals and delivers!

I enjoyed this immensely

Revisado: 09-04-22

A laugh out loud (and yes, good-frustrating at times) fun romance for cat people and the rest of humanity. Like a good vegan muffin, it’s lots of sugar with a side of ethics and leaving you wanting more.
