Historia
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving - every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

Good but missing elements
Revisado: 11-22-23
As in most of these self-help books built around systems being the answer, there is very little at all about how to get motivated and stay motivated at doing this. His principles work. But so do everyone else’s…IF you do them. What I lack is the motivation to do them.

Historia
The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

Worth listening to.
Revisado: 07-27-23
The content of this book is worth reading. I will say that the author should get a professional reader to record these. He is okay. But his pacing and cadence and inflections are simply B-level.

Historia
Years ago, Lindon left his home as a powerless Unsouled. Now, he goes to war with the most powerful beings in the world over the future of Cradle itself. The Weeping Dragon has a grudge to settle, and Lindon intends to take out the Dreadgod with his friends by his side. But rival Monarchs know his plans, and they won’t let things end so easily. If Lindon does win, he will ascend to the heavens. But he may not find a safe haven there either.

Cheers and Celebration
Revisado: 06-14-23
So often these days, stories simply fall off the rails or crash land in a fiery heap. This one is an exception. Will and Travis completed the story masterfully! It’s just fun to get lost in other worlds listening to twelve installments of characters who feel like my friends. And then to feel the satisfaction as if they all were crossing the finish line together. Then after that, BLOOPERS!!!!! What a ride!

Historia
On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives. Including their gruesome deaths. Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

The first time through this story, I read the ebook. This time through, I listened to the audiobook. Will and Travis are a dynamic team. Very fun and engaging!

Historia
How did a boy from small-town New York become the world’s most successful writer? How does he do it? He has always wanted to write the kind of novel that would be read and reread so many times that the binding breaks and the book literally falls apart. As he says, “I’m still working on that one.”

I purchased this to learn about writing. But, as I suspected, it was also a bunch of stories that had nothing to do with that. But it was titled correctly. So I have no complaints.

Historia
The battle in the heavens has left a target on Lindon’s back. His most reliable ally is gone, the Monarchs see him as a threat, and he has inherited one of the most valuable facilities in the world. At any moment, his enemies could band together to kill him. If it weren’t for the Dreadgods. All four are empowered and unleashed, rampaging through Cradle, and grudges old and new must be set aside. The Monarchs need every capable fighter to help them defend their territory.

Seldom do I read a long series that is seamlessly engaging. But Cradle is the exception. Dreadgod is the 11th stage of what we are told will end with the next phase. Can’t wait!

Historia
Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

Revisado: 06-01-22
I first read House of Blades in 2013 when it was released. Then when it became an audiobook a few years later read by the author, Will Wight, I immediately listened. And I’ve done that several times since. But this version by Travis Baldree is just WAY BETTER! I’ve always loved the story and now Travis brings the characters to an entirely new level. Highly recommend!

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Too much technical detail for me.
Revisado: 03-01-22
Although I enjoyed this book, I did find my mind drifting MANY times. I actually come from an engineering family and have an engineering background. But when I read/listen to a book, I want to escape from the details of that world. Way more tech details in this book than in The Martian. I would prefer it the other way. With that said, the narration and production were next level awesome!

Ridiculous, but well-written and performed
Revisado: 10-27-21
I have never rolled my eyes so much listening to a story! It feels like my eyes hurt. Most characters were simply acting both inconsistently and in an unbelievable manner. One of a hundred examples is this: a showdown fight with a trained and experienced adult male assassin fighting a teenage girl. The girl out-thinks him, out-muscles him, out-maneuvers him. I’ve read MANY Patterson stories. This one is completely ridiculous.
I will say that both the female and male narrators were fantastic and the writing is top-notch.

Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court appoints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy.

Unsatisfactory ending
Revisado: 11-12-20
When I listen to a fictional novel for entertainment, I want closure of the main storylines. Grisham left way too many things open-ended for my tastes.
