Historia
Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders, but don't respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS).

Incredible Information
Revisado: 06-25-24
This was exceptionally laid out and the information was technical but not inaccessible. I don’t have kids yet, but it was still incredibly useful. Both in planning for the future but also reflective on my own habits with screen time. Opened up a whole can of worms that I’ll have to keep looking into.
Also, it wasn’t political, which is saying something today. Well done!

Historia
Did you know women walk more, eat less, socialize more, meet more men, dance more, and flirt more when they're ovulating? Or that PMS may have evolved to get rid of boyfriends with unfit sperm? Behind the "fickle" differences in what women find sexy about men, or what they like to wear, there's a hidden adaptive intelligence shaped over eons. Rather than making women irrational - as the conventional and irredeemably sexist wisdom goes - the female hormonal cycle has been exquisitely fine-tuned to give women the advantages they needed to succeed in our ancestral environments, and perhaps also today.

Biased, but decent info
Revisado: 06-05-24
I’m pretty used to trudging through political soliloquies to find the information promised by the book jacket. Most of the time was spent defending women or her own stance as a feminist from people who probably aren’t reading this book. The last couple chapters shoved a bunch of topics together but offered very little info on them, felt more like a disclaimer than anything else. Other than that, it’s a good starting point to learn about the similarities between human and other mammalian reproductive cycles.

Historia
It was a time of legend, as the last shadows of the mighty Roman conqueror faded from the captured Isle of Britain. Meanwhile, across a vast sea, bloody war shattered a peace that had flourished for 2,000 years in the doomed kingdom of Atlantis. This is the remarkable adventure of Charis, the courageous princess from Atlantis who escapes the terrible devastation of her land, and of the fabled seer and druid prince Taliesin, singer at the dawn of the age. It is a story of an incomparable love that joins two astonishing worlds....

Favorite Book in Years
Revisado: 12-03-23
What an incredible book!
Earlier this year I told someone I thought Fantasy might no longer be my genre. I was so overjoyed to be proven wrong this week. I am not exaggerating when I say I started grinning during the first few lines of The Merlin and only stopped to feel disgust over a cauldron, danger in foreign halls and deep sadness on journeys home.
I had to pause the book for several hours during the last chapter to process everything, but I gave myself some time to recover and now can’t decide if I want to pick up the next book, or reread the third part.
It was a little slow to start (specifically the Atlantean portion of A gift of Jade) but Elphin’s tale was so masterfully spun in that section that it more than made up for it. I sped up the narration a little (like normal for me) and allowed the story to shine through. The accents were perhaps not the best, but I wouldn’t say it took away from my overall enjoyment of the book once I got used to it.
Probably my favorite book I’ve read/listened to in years

Tolkien's Masterpiece on Full Display
Revisado: 11-11-20
After loving the Hobbit as a child, I was dismayed to find myself unwilling to finish the FOTR, Peter Jackson's adaptation gives a happy beginning, a quick call to adventure and then a tension filled chase, Tolkien was much more subtle. The audio was suggested to me instead of suffering through the book and it was exactly what I needed to understand the areas I had previously stumbled over.
The preformance of the poetry in song inhances the reading so much. Instead of areas of italicized print to skip over, it adds to the story and world.
The beginning was still a little slow, but after meeting Glorfindel I could barely pause it. Fantastic! Bought all three by Rob Inglis.

Historia
On a dark, wintry day, Eliza Grey receives a mysterious letter from her ailing Nana Mora begging her to come for a visit. This is an easy "Yes". Eliza has always preferred Nana Mora's beach cottage on St. Simons Island to the apartment she and her mom call home in the city. The island is a magical place where stories and legends grow as thick as the Spanish moss dangling in the trees. Now, Nana Mora's eyesight is fading, and there's something she wants to show Eliza before it’s totally gone: a mythical place locals refer to as Sirens Harbor.

A Lovely Adventure
Revisado: 11-06-20
A wholesome escape with the simplicity of plot that's associated with Middle Grade Fiction. The overarching themes of love, family and magic are what makes it appealing to all ages. A great story.
My only critque would be the two preformers spoke at different speeds, so it made the already slow pacing of the readers seem even more pronounced when switching from Silverswift's POV to Eliza's. I would suggest listening to Eliza's at .1x more than Silverswift's chapters, I found the best to be 1.3x and 1.2x respectively.
