Celaena Sardothien is Adarlan’s most feared assassin. As part of the Assassin’s Guild, she’s sworn to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam. In these action-packed prequel novellas to the Throne of Glass series, Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and avenge tyranny. But by acting on her own terms, will Celaena truly free herself from her master, or will she suffer an unimaginable punishment for such treachery?

I read Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight before I started this one. This was like reading an instruction manual. I get there’s things that are essential to the series but there was never a “moment” in this book. I see people crying reading this one and I was expecting WAY different from this. I had to switch to the audiobook because it was taking me a lifetime to finish this one. I have to listen to this at a faster pace than I normally do on audible because I found the narrators pace to be slow and weird. Like she drops the ends of her phrasing off in an almost rhythmic patter that drove me nuts…along with horrible accents. I have a hard time listening to fantasy so maybe that’s it. But I’m so happy this was is finally over.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,186
Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.

Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy.

No redeeming qualities…
Reviewed: 07-14-24
I never understood the hype surrounding Julia Fox because it seems like she is popular for virtually nothing and this book confirmed that. I wanted to see if maybe I was wrong but I was proven right. There are no redeeming factors or reflection on lessons learned. It’s just a bunch of drugs, sex and being a general emotionally unstable, mentally ill human who continues to make poor choices and have dumb luck.
The stories often blur together and it gets confusing, I had to go back a lot and relisten to pieces of this. But honestly, what a waste of time. I really truly do not get her popularity at all. I’m all about empowering women…but at what the hell is this..

Story4 out of 5 stars 107
After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

I was excited for this book because of the authors voice and tone..but it ended up being hard to follow and some topics were way above the average person’s understanding of math and science. It seemed disorganized almost.

The stories are good but for me it was really hard to follow in an audiobook format so I didn’t finish it. Probably more suited for a print version instead. Still great stories but it jumps timelines a lot

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently - and far less seriously - than its male counterpart. That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them.

The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything - everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter. Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble.

I overall enjoyed this book. I love the narration and found the historical parts really interesting. Sometimes I felt like it was just a series of things happening rather than a regularly formatted story. But it was still a great listen.

One of the best books Ive ever listened to
Reviewed: 10-18-20
Such an amazing story and way to tie in history of a great animal. It also puts things into perspective regarding how one acquires food and how removed we are as a society from the process. How we don't appreciate where things come from. I listened to this with my husband while driving from California to Michigan so listening to this while driving across the west was pretty cool.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.
