Story5 out of 5 stars 73
True story of the 2nd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division's small, ragtag "provisional" long range patrol platoon that was so effective it became the official model for 1st and 2nd Field Force MACV LRRP's covering the whole country, authorized by General Westmoreland. The 2nd Brigade LRRP's made history.

Amazing first person retelling of their time in country. You can almost imagine being in his skin. Unfortunately the virtual voice was a horrible choice. It took away from the overall experience.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 199
Being a typewriter is not as easy as it looks. Surrounded by books (notorious attention hogs) and recently replaced by a computer, Olivetti has been forgotten by the Brindles—the family he’s lived with for years. The Brindles are busy humans, apart from twelve-year-old Ernest, who would rather be left alone with his collection of Oxford English Dictionaries. Once a collector of words, now Olivetti only collects dust. He gets a rare glimpse of action from Ernest’s mom, Beatrice—his used-to-be frequent visitor—only for her to drop him off at Heartland Pawn Shop and leave him behind.

Allie Millington is a brilliant author. I fell in love with the Brindles and Olivetti. The power of story, memories, and family told in a captivating way made me want more. Hopeful Olivetti will become a series and one day a movie! Thank you, Allie, for sharing Olivetti with all of us! 🤍

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,648
In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world”. She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch - first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival.

We all have our own story
Reviewed: 03-12-24
I had this book on my wishlist for a long time, but thought it might be too sad to listen to. I have recently become a fan of Jon Batiste and attended his concert in Detroit. Somehow I connected Jon with the fact that this book was written by his wife and it led me to removing it from my wishlist and listening. So glad I did.
Although we all have our own story, it is through learning of others that helps to mold ours. Suleika’s story is beautiful and has made me think. I believe this is a book that will sit with me for a long time.
Much gratitude.
