Historia
When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan. Among the rugged hills and golden beaches of the island, Grace searches for answers about her friend’s life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. But to dive into this impossible truth, Grace must first come to terms with her past.

Not hard hitting like midnight library. It's a fantasy trying to persuade reader to protect the environment
Revisado: 01-03-25
I was hoping this book by the same author would be as insightful and transforming in my thinking as the midnight library. But it wasn't. It's merely a nice story, a fantasy intended to promote protection of the environment, and to preach the philosophy that we humans are the environment and the universe; all shared molecules. These are good themes but not thought provoking or enlightening or insightful, at least not to me.

Historia
Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

The story/mystery is pretty interesting initially, but gets not-so-interesting in the middle, but better again at the very end.

Historia
Spain's position on Europe's southwestern corner has exposed it to cultural, political and actual winds blowing from all quadrants. Africa lies a mere nine miles to the south. The Mediterranean connects it to the civilisational currents of Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians and Byzantines as well as the Arabic lands of the Near East. Hordes from the Russian steppes were amongst the first to arrive. They would be followed by Visigoths, Arabs, Napoleonic armies and many more invaders and immigrants.

Historia
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

It gave me ideas as a plan in addition on my house, but just OK
Revisado: 01-04-23
The main reason I listened to this book was because it was the only one I could find on Audible that was about home design. I could never have read this book if it were a physical book because it did not have a lot of punch points for me. But listening to it while I was doing some thing else was helpful. It helped me think about some things I hadn't thought of, and I was able to make a lot of notes about what I want or don't want in my new addition on my house.

Historia
A cluster of five countries, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, are commonly referred to as Central America. Although these nations differ in their histories and politics, they share at least one factor; they have been caught up in the turmoil of America's foreign policy in this region. This audiobook depicts the chain of events that have led to the Central America we view on television.

Concise history & easy listening
Revisado: 06-03-22
This book had the right amount of detail (and only 2 hours long), so I got the gist of events and various view points without getting bogged down in details like longer books do. It started way back and ended with Regan presidency. I liked quotes being relayed as recordings or actor performances of actual historical people because it made it more interesting and broke up the sameness of the narrator's voice.

This spirited homage to Betty captures her unique humor, timeless wisdom, and impish irreverence that's made her one of America's longest lasting and most beloved stars. How to Be Golden recounts her engaging life story while weaving in her words of wisdom and insight about love, friendship, work, family, sex, acting, aging, beauty, and more.

Good but author too crazy about Betty to be balanced presentation
Revisado: 03-08-22
Author is so gushy about Betty White that book can't possibly be a true representation of the real human being Betty White. I'd have preferred a more real-life, well-rounded view of Betty White. I didn't care for the quizzes at end of chapters. I want to be given information, not quizzed and scored. At the end, readers are even belittled if they didn't score high enough to honor Betty. I listened on Audible to the book. The book does a good job of presenting Betty White's career.

Historia
"You will be a son, my daughter." With these stunning words Ukmina learned that she was to spend her childhood as a boy. In Afghanistan there is a widespread practice of girls dressing as boys to play the role of a son. These children are called bacha posh: literally "girls dressed as boys." This practice offers families the freedom to allow their child to shop and work - and in some cases, it saves them from the disgrace of not having a male heir. But in adolescence, religion restores the natural law.

Historia
The Gateway to Africa, Ghana welcomes around a million tourists, aid workers, and business travelers a year due to its tropical scenic beauty and rich culture. It is, however, the Ghanaians themselves who make the biggest impression. It is through their hospitality and love of peace that Ghana has a claim to be the safest and friendliest country in Africa. Ghanaians are welcoming to foreign guests, respectful to each other, and strong followers of tradition and have deep familial and communal values.

Excellent & detailed info about the people & culture for tourists or business
Revisado: 08-16-21
I read this book because I might be foster parenting children from Ghana. It was an excellent resource since it's focus was on the people and culture, attitudes, gender roles, weather, topography etc rather than a history book though it does briefly touch on history as a way of understanding modern-day Ghana
