Historia
In the distant past, a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.

If Overlord was funny, in a good way
Revisado: 05-25-24
It was a lot better than I had been expecting, funny and Penny, good voice acting and commitment from the voice actors, and story that didn't take itself too seriously while being worthwhile. I hadn't expected a baking lesson from an undead gender ambiguous cat-maid, but it enjoyed all the same.

Historia
Let us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. We slip beyond its horizon and tumble down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we see geometry fold. Time and space pull and stretch. And finally, at the black hole’s core, space and time dissolve, and a white hole is born. Rovelli has dedicated his career to uniting the time-warping ideas of general relativity and the perplexing uncertainties of quantum mechanics. In White Holes, he reveals the mind of a scientist at work.

Short enough to read more than once.

I definitely recommend reading this more than once. If you not amazed by the end of the book, reverse time and bounce back into the book.

Historia
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

Entertaining!
Revisado: 09-20-23
I got the book from a recommendation, and glad I did. It was surprisingly complex. The story is interesting, but the writing set it apart: half romantic sweetness that can be fun casually, and half the experience of a (seemingly) real adult woman mistreated for her gender above her ability. A villain arc I completely enjoyed. looking forward to the hopeful sequel.

Really been enjoying this series but this is the best one yet. If you've just finished Book 2 and are wondering if its worth continuing, you have my assurance that it is.

Historia
The world-renowned philosopher and author of the best-selling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good? World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgment it imposes on those left behind, and traces the dire consequences across a wide swath of American life.

Astoundingly Intellectually Challenging
Revisado: 10-14-20
Exactly what I want in book. Despite my degree in political science, it had never been brought up in class the meritacratic nature that was incorporated into nearly every ideology. Overcoming that bias meant not easy. The inability to put this book into any single polarizing category, religious vs secular or right vs left, meant the author's points couldn't be dismissed or even blindly accepted without careful thought. Its a book that will stay with me for a long time I suspect.

Mother and warrior. Scholar and spy. Rebel and hero. Set in a magical world of terror and wonder, this novel is a deeply felt epic of courage and war, in which the fates of these characters intertwine - and where ordinary people become heroes, and their lives become legend.

amazing!!
Revisado: 04-10-20
I absolutely.love Luke Daniels performance on everything and he does not.dissappoint. Xe Sands is good but the narration is quiet. I look forward to listening to more of her.
Kevin Hearne hits it out of the park. I listened to his Iron Druid Chronicles and loved them. But taking it from our world to a world of his own creation is a level of world building I didn't know he had. but boy.does he! it's excellent and I can't recommend it enough. can't wait to read the next novel.

Historia
The Dalai Lama, at his most compassionate and outspoken, here elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars", he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion, those that ground ethics in a belief in God and an afterlife, and those that understand good actions as leading to better states of existence in future lives. And yet, with the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, the Dalai Lama makes a claim for what he calls a third way.

Brilliant
Revisado: 02-21-20
As an atheist, I've shaked my head reading many books about the reconciliation of faith and religion. But this is the first book that I could read and agree with. The lessons of human compassion and togetherness in it grow more timely by the day. Absolutely worth the time, I look forward to listening to it again.

Historia
When I first landed a bartending job at the local guild, I didn't know a thing about magic. These days, I'm practically an expert on the different magical classes, but there's one nobody ever talks about: Demonica. Turns out they have a good reason for that. My guild is strictly hellion-free, because who wants to risk life and limb to control the biggest bullies on the mythic playground? Well, some people do, and now a demon has been loosed in the city. My three best friends are determined to slay it, but even badass combat mages are critically out-magicked.

When I wasn't listening to this series, I found myself thinking about the characters. The whole series is well fleshed out and relatable, but I found this one to be the best in the line of pretty strong contenders. It's quick pased, addicting, and we'll worth the read. I'm looking forward to the next one!

It is the guide to get if you are wanting to raise your ranks in your office or business. Note: This is a summary of The 48 Laws of Power, not the original book.

Revisado: 03-20-19
Contradictory and useless, don't read this book. This is how to be an abuses Boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse or whatever. It confuses power with manipulation. Maybe 4 of the 48 were useful, but there isnt a single one that is directly contradicted a moment later. It's as bad as those "wear a fake scare to get laid" advice. Save your time and ignore this book.

I've read both of his previous books, and although all of them are deeply insightful and thought provoking, this one excelled at being both practical and relatable. If you want to be more, read this book.
