Historia
Edith Hamilton shows us Rome through the eyes of the Romans. Plautus and Terence, Cicero and Caesar, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, and Augustus come to life in their ambitions, their work, their loves and hates. In them we see reflected a picture of Roman life very different from that fixed in our minds through schoolroom days, and far livelier.

impossible to follow what's going on
Revisado: 03-06-25
This book was impossible to follow along. I had no idea where she was going with the information, and it was poorly organized, and that's a bummer.Oh, that's six hours, I'll never get back

Historia
Iranian-American multimillionaires Ali and Homa Milani have it all—a McMansion in the hills of Los Angeles, a microwaveable snack empire, and four spirited daughters. There’s Violet, the big-hearted aspiring model; Roxanna, the chaotic influencer; Mina, the chronically-online overachiever; and the impressionable health fanatic Haylee. On the verge of landing their own reality TV show, the Milanis realize their deepest secrets are about to be dragged out into the open before the cameras even roll.

Disappointed American Persian
Revisado: 08-07-24
I am of Persian heritage. I was hoping for some genuinely Persian culture alongside light fiction. What I got was a reader's intolerable narration, a Kardashian wannabe family and junkie writing. I'll never get those 10 hours back. #Disappointed

She's got a voice like Buttah!
Revisado: 03-01-24
Her relaxed and candid nature was extremely refreshing and welcoming. Thank you for sharing your life with us all.
I loved it all! Listening to this book was so incredible and I felt fortunate to listen to Barbra speak over 48 hours because her voice is like Buttah!

Historia
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

A Love Letter to Eager Stage Moms
Revisado: 09-08-22
As a child of a mother with addiction issues, 3 differrnt diagnosis of cancer over a period of 30 years and other fun family dysfunctions, I truly identified with this story. I loved my mother, but candidly, have not yet shed a tear for her passing. Jennette's journey resonates loudly with me and I am grateful that she shared it with us all.
I hope she finds happiness and comfort in the days ahead because she definitely deserves it!
And, finally, I'm glad she quit her day job to write because she is a fine writer. :)

An excellent book
Revisado: 07-26-22
Beyond knowing about Quincy Jones and his Accomplishments in music music, I knew nothing about him personally.. That man has a lot of knowledge and hes generous enough to share it. I recommend everybody read this book.. Unless you don't want to learn anything about life..

Historia
Elinor Cleghorn became an unwell woman 10 years ago. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease, she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In Unwell Women, Elinor Cleghorn traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect.

How Women Have Been Treated Like Shit
Revisado: 10-04-21
This is an excellent look into the medical mistreatement of women over time. It is a historical piece that also gives a huge nod to current issues affecting women in health and medicine. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially men.

Comedy Lovers Listen Up, A'ight
Revisado: 02-12-21
Love Keegan. Been following him since MadTV dayz. This series was just incredible and even though I wholly understand he made it for everyone, I feel like it was speaking straight up, to me. I am a historian and an aficionado of comedy. Just really found the series to be informative, funny and Keegan's impressions are always enjoyable to hear. Thank you so much, Keenan. Really proud! ;)

Mary gives us a glimpse into the creation and development of a mad man that made it to the White House. Save our democracy and vote him out or be complacent and allow what what was once a great country fall into the arms of a dictator. Thank you Mary.
