The narrator, Sarah Drew, did an excellent job at bringing the characters to life and giving them their own unique voices. I loved listening to “Delirium” on my drive back from my vacation. I found myself gasping at some parts and not wanting to turn the book off, even when I had to go to work or do other things. Overall, though, the narrative was engaging. His hair was always compared to autumn leaves or fire and his eyes and skin were always glowing. Oliver’s descriptions of Alex got a little repetitive. I can only encourage you to read or listen to the book yourself. The pair eventually fall in love, and Lena describes the symptoms of “amor deliria nervosa” - love - she experiences. (Side note: Lena’s back story is pretty interesting, but I’m not going to ruin it for you.) Lena slowly changes her view about the government, and Alex is there to shepherd her into a clearer understanding of the world, eventually taking her into the crypts where she sees the cell where her mother was imprisoned. Lena also sneaks out at night to meet her friend Hana and go to a forbidden rock concert in an abandoned field. After meeting Alex, Lena witnesses a raid in which government officials beat her neighbors’ dog to death and carry off people who they believe to be “sympathizers” with the uncured people living outside the city.

Welcome back to the reader’s corner. “Meet Kate Sessions, a young woman with a grand passion for trees. Dad writes to his children while they are away to tell them that Steve is no longer the tree he once was, but in doing so, reminds the children of the meaning of true friendship and the way that a family is bound together. Written as a letter to the author’s children, Our Tree Named Steve tells a tale about Steve, a massive and unusual looking tree that instantly becomes part of the family when they move into their new home. “He quickly worked his way into your lives as a swing holder, target, third base, hiding place, jump-rope turner….Friends like this are hard to find.” Book #3: Our Tree Named Steve by Alan Zweibel Again, the story is simple, but it celebrates the life and hope that trees in every part of the world bring to our planet. We Planted a Tree is an illustrated poem that follows two young families in two different parts of the world who plant a tree. “We planted a tree and it grew up, And so did we.” Book #2: We Planted a Tree by Diane Muldrow You can swing from them, sit in their shade, get sticks to draw with, and sleep under a tree. You say to people, ‘I planted that tree.’ They wish they had one so they go home and plant a tree too."Ī Tree is Nice is a simple story that explains why trees are beautiful, fun, and important. Every day for years and years, you watch the little tree grow. Book #1: A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.Īmiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable… but not too amiable.ĭaphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince-while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. The Duke and I is a romance set in the Regency era. Librarian note: See alternate cover editions here and here. From humble stonemason to imperious monarch, each character is brought vividly to life. The vast forests, the walled towns, the castles, and the monasteries become a familiar landscape.Īgainst this richly imagined and intricately interwoven backdrop, filled with the ravages of war and the rhythms of daily life, the master storyteller draws the reader irresistibly into the intertwined lives of his characters into their dreams, their labors, and their loves: Tom, the master builder Aliena, the ravishingly beautiful noblewoman Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the woman of the forest who casts a terrifying curse. Follett has re-created the crude, flamboyant England of the Middle Ages in every detail. But what makes The Pillars of the Earth extraordinary is the time the twelfth century the place feudal England and the subject the building of a glorious cathedral. Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.Įverything readers expect from Follett is here: intrigue, fast-paced action, and passionate romance. While Kiyosaki’s valid advice is garden variety, some of his more original advice has drawn criticism. You need to make your money work for you. But your salary doesn’t matter if you spend everything you have.Īt the same time, Kiyosaki believes you can’t reach financial independence simply by working hard and saving. The argument goes that yes, you’re more likely to be financially independent if you make six figures than if you make minimum wage for your whole life. This is an idea you will hear from other financial experts, too, like Chris Hogan. Some other advice from Kiyosaki is that it doesn’t matter how much money you earn. In a 2010 Facebook post, he wrote: “I don’t believe in flipping real estate properties…I look at properties for the cash flow.” Since the housing crash, Kiyosaki has repudiated this money-making practice. On the internet, you can find his articles and videos about house-flipping. Specifically, he recommends real estate assets. You get rich from owning assets that pull in passive income – and scaling up. You can’t get rich from a paycheck, he argues. And in his hierarchy, employees are at the bottom. public school system teaches kids to be employees, not entrepreneurs. In “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” one of Kiyosaki’s main points is that the U.S. Top Financial Advice From Robert Kiyosaki Chelsea Cain, the New York Times Book Review Writing with "total authority and an almost desperate intensity" (Tom Perrotta), award-winning novelist Megan Abbott delivers a story as unnerving and thrilling as adolescence itself. The raw passions of girlhood are brought to life in this taut, unflinching exploration of friendship, ambition, and power. After the first wave of shock and grief, Addy tries to uncover the truth behind the death-and learns that the boundary between loyalty and love can be dangerous terrain. Then a suicide focuses a police investigation on Coach and her squad. Only Beth, unsettled by the new regime, remains outside Coach's golden circle, waging a subtle but vicious campaign to regain her position as "top girl"-both with the team and with Addy herself.

Beth calls the shots and Addy carries them out, a long-established order of things that has brought them to the pinnacle of their high-school careers. "Tense, dark, and beautifully written" (Gillian Flynn), this novel of friendship and betrayal from an Edgar Award-winning author is a harrowing glimpse into the dark heart of the all-American girl.Īddy Hanlon has always been Beth Cassidy's best friend and trusted lieutenant.

His mother is Willo Watersong, and his father is Gavan Bayer, which makes him the older half-brother to the Bayer twins, Micah and Fiona, as well as cousin to the Mander brothers.
