Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

I really liked this book overall. I think it was quite funny. I don't know if I would read it again but I think it is a fun way to look at the space hero and how they are always shown. Yahtzee's narration is also quite funny as well. #Space #Tagsgiving #Sweepstacks

In a world devastated by nuclear war with humanity on the edge of extinction, aliens finally make contact. They rescue those humans they can, keeping most survivors in suspended animation while the aliens begin the slow process of rehabilitating the planet. When Lilith Iyapo is "awakened", she finds that she has been chosen to revive her fellow humans in small groups by first preparing them to meet the utterly terrifying aliens, then training them to survive on the wilderness that the planet has become. But the aliens cannot help humanity without altering it forever.

I love science fiction and had not read a Octavia Butler book yet. She did not disappoint! I loved this book a lot. I thought the Aliens that she created and the world she build were very well done. I can't wait to read the rest of this series. #Oankali #tagsgiving #Sweepstacks

I love a good science fiction novel. Forever War was one of those for me. It starts out small and then spirals down and down until you reach the end of the book. The ending is crazy but I loved it. I found it to be funny. #Future #Tagsgiving #Sweepstacks

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami’s most acclaimed and beloved novels.

By Winston Churchill's own admission, victory in the Second World War would have been "impossible without her". Until now, however, the only existing biography of Churchill's wife, Clementine, was written by her daughter. Sonia Purnell finally gives Clementine her due with a deeply researched account that tells her life story, revealing how she was instrumental in softening FDR's initial dislike of her husband and paving the way for Britain's close relationship with America.

I always love to hear the perspective of history in a different view. Clementine was such an amazing women that I think it is important to know about her and all she did for England behind the scenes. I found her story to both be inspirational and amazing.

I am a life long runner and found some of the concepts he talks about interesting, Over all I found it to not be all that new or thought provoking for me. I have looked into a lot of different ways to train and this did not add much to what I have already read.
If you are not familiar with some new concepts for endurance then this is a great book with a lot of good information. I do recommend people to read it. #Endurance #Tagsgiving #Sweepstacks

I found this series because of Netflix. I am so happy that I did. I love the historical fiction that it written. I really liked the Main character and all of his trails he has to go through.
I am not sure why but I just really connected with this book and all the characters. I highly recommend it to anyone a fan of Historical fiction. #Dutch #Tagsgiving #Sweepstacks

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

When you listen to Lily and the Octopus, you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the listening, and we don't want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can't live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion, Lily, who happens to be a dog.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Great to hear a classic
Reviewed: 11-11-18
I got this to listen to for Halloween. I do not regret that decision. I had never read Bram Stoker's classic Dracula just seen the many iterations over the years. How he sets up the story and draws out the characters is fantastic. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good read. #Dracula #Tagsgiving #Sweepstacks.
