Story
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

That any human being actually believes they have the "RIGHT" to control another to the degree that these people apparently (based on what he says here) believe they are entitled to.
Until the day that you can climb into that box, & go 6 feet under for me, you can NOT control my life!
I am not a celebrity follower, I don't care about the Kardashians, Slithery Slimy Agent Orange 45, or Taylor Swift, nor do I care about what they do N their lives, doesn't matter to me what they do as long as it doesn't affect me & no one is being physically hurt by them. Now, lets not get it twisted, I do not dislike them (except for slithery slimy agent orange 45), just pretty much nonchalant about them! I don't have face book, twitter, twatter or any of those other social media platforms, so that tells you how much I care about that stuff, but N this book when a very well know Actor/ Director offered them his house & when he said "Because my Mother Loved your Mother" I can truly relate to that BC years ago after watching a documentary about Princes Diana & "The They's"..... I too fell in love w/her & was horrified to hear, in her own words how she was being treated & what was taking place in that rechid place she was living in. & she was a white woman, hard to believe "The Theys" would be any kinder to a Beautiful mulatto Princess.
The British press has disgraced themselves & the Monarchy... in my eyes for not protecting their Baby, now grown man!
I believe the things Harry says in this book are possible & are more than likely true, & to me is a travesty upon his life! I'm sure he feels a lot better now after getting this stuff off of his chest, & for finally being able to stand up for himself (& his family) to the BULLIES that slithered in the swamps all around him his whole life.
& don't sit there thinking that we Americans are any better than the British press or the Monarchy, we're not! BC here, they too will eat their children alive for a photo shoot or a "GOOD" story! DESPICABLE!
I just want to wrap my arms around both of them & say "Job well done, I am so very proud of both of you" ~ Tafvolaun ~

Epidemiologist Steffanie Strathdee and her husband, psychologist Tom Patterson, were vacationing in Egypt when Tom came down with a stomach bug. What at first seemed like a case of food poisoning quickly turned critical, and by the time Tom had been transferred via emergency medevac to the world-class medical center at UC San Diego, where both he and Steffanie worked, blood work revealed why modern medicine was failing: Tom was fighting one of the most dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the world.

AWESOME BOOK.......!
Having a "SuperBug" 😳 ..... Lord Help us NOW.......please!!! The information in this book 📖 is, for a wife, mother, daughter, husband, father, son the scarriest thing to ever have cross your ears, the sheer hopelessness of the situation is heart 💔... Steffanies determination to advocate for the man who makes her heart beat everyday & for Toms ferocious will to live was so amazing & uplifting to me! I applaud both of them & the whole team of Dr. & Scientists who did NOT GIVE UP at all...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I despise all of the red tape, if I was dying already, I would B down to try sticky glue if we thought it might work!
But for that 1 family, the Dr. just shudda tried..........because if you don't try, the outcome is sure death! If you "try" you've learned something & now you have a fifty/fifty chance that the outcome "may" not end in death!
My issue with this book & the situation Steffanie & Tom found themselves in is, had it been you, me, my husband, 1 of my sons or 1 of my daughters, we would be Dead Dead Dead right this very moment, because unlike Steffanie, I nor you would have had access to the many proffessionals that Steffanie had access to in order to "try" something new to save her husband! & that to me is a travesty..... however, that does not take anything away fm this book! To me, this is 5 stars 🌟 ✨️ 🌟 period. The knowledge is massively necessary & I am so happy that her 💕 & his 💞 still beats together!

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

I have never been a Steven King fan, EVER! BC I don't like scarry books, or movies for that matter, BUT! This book was soooooo good & it was not scarry at all!
It was suspenseful, & intriguing, & held my attention fm the beginning to the very end! At no time did I feel like "Alright already, can U just stop draggin this thing out so much, & just get on to the next part?!"
I went through & felt many different emotions through out this book too! There R parts when I was mad at many different caricatures, I felt sad for the children, I wanted to protect & fight for them! I wanted to save (Luke, Avery Iris , George Kisha) all of em....!
& I promise you, I definitely would have been waaaaaay harder & much HARSHER on Mrs. Sigsby & Stackhouse!!!
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!
But, I must admit that I was "baby 🤏🏽" disappointed BC I don't feel like there was enough or more like any real justice served!
I would have liked for them & some of those other adult cohorts to have suffered a lot more then they did, even if it was indirectly! like Mrs. Sigsby got cancer & was barely able to walk & unable to speak or bark orders @ any1 any more & 1 of the now grown children was her caregiver, & her 🧠 brain was completely fine, but now she is stuck inside of her own body & the caregiver treated her like she had her staff treat them! & Stackhouse? He would instantly go blind, bite his own tongue 👅 off, rendering him mute & live the rest of his days basically in isolation outside of being fed just enough to barely keep him alive! YOU DON'T MESS W/ CHILDREN OR ELDERLY! PERIOD!
However, even with that little bit of disappointment, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOOOOK!
😷 Stay Safe Every1!

I absolutely Loved this book! My ❤ ached for that itty-bitty Child & the Teen Kia, & I felt so, so, so sorry for the adult Katherine & what she was being subjected to....... Throughout the whole book, to the very end I was hooked & lookin sideways & so suspicious of a few different caricatures.......Tate? Jumpin? Jodie? Accident? This book kept me going & interested the whole time it played! & honestly, @ times I had a hard time putting it down. I definitely recommend "Where the Crawdads Sing !

I liked this book! Because of the different noises I could hear N the back ground, like her turning the page, & some other back ground noises, they didn't bother me, it made me feel like I was sitting N her apartment & she was telling her story dirrctly to me! I fully understand the "PINT UP" emotions!

A lively recounting of how three determined individuals overcame the constraints of 18th century thinking to solve the greatest medical mystery of their era. The cure for scurvy ranks among the greatest of military successes, yet its impact on history has mostly been ignored. Stephen Bown, in this engaging and often gripping book, searches back to the earliest recorded appearance of scurvy in the 16th century, to the 18th century, when the disease was at its gum-shred, bone-snapping worst, to the early 19th century.

I absolutely love the info N this book! LOVE IT!!! Amazing Vitamin C! I had to put the speed on 1.35 to 1.40% N order to B able to listen to it though! 100% was just way to slow & was putting me to sleep, but after adjusting that speed, it was smooth sailing! I also got lost N all of the dates 1609 this, 1722 that & 1818 lost me! I believe BC I have no visual point of reference! Inspite of those couple minor things, I really like the book & am absolutely GR8ful for what I was able to learned fm it! Gonna buy some more ORGANIC Vitamin C & double up, or better yet, some organic Liposomal vitamin C BC it is combined w/oil (usually soy which I stay away fm) & corn N America is now 90% GMO'd) so I look for organic sunflower oiled liposomal Vitamin C, the oils help the vitamin C stay N the body longer, regular viramin C is water soluble, so it flushes out when we...U know.......pee!

I'm sure this book has some really GR8 info, but I'll never know BC I couldn't get past the 3rd chapter, I hope the Narrator doesn't drive like he reads, BC he NEVER paused @ a comma or stopped at a period... everything just ran on all together! So I found myself trying to figure it out, like where it was supposed to slow down or stop! I never realized just how important those punctuations R until today & I'm 56 years old! Good luck to you who's trying to get through this book!!!

I like the book, but it has so many different names for things & the people (a few had 2 names) that my Dyslexic brain kept flashing Error-Error & kept trying to find a picture for "Erogony & a Sesapene"! My adult Non-Dyslexic children LOVED this book though, so we should probably go by their feelings of it & not mine! ♡
