Six hours. That’s how long seven-year-old Sophie Lewin was missing. Found seventeen miles away on a desolate road, she has no memory of the incident, and the police have no leads. But one thing is certain: Sophie has not been the same since.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,328
Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must make her way in a court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed.

I was enraptured
Reviewed: 12-11-22
I was consumed by Maggie’s writing. Her descriptions were enthralling. In the first half of the story, I was wondering if we were glimpsing a psychological portrait that was off kilter in some ways. After that, I slowly started thinking I was listening to another story of a man abusing a woman and was tempted to set it aside. The ending however fantastical it may seem, was very satisfying. I think I will read more of Maggie O’Farrell’s work. I also loved Hamnet.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

During the pandemic
Reviewed: 05-25-20
I read this during the pandemic in 2020 and I have to say it was weirdly comforting. Comparing and contrasting Mendel’s world with a true pandemic helped me to see that do have hope. I liked how she skipped back and forth in time. She filled in time periods just as I was wondering what had happened one or another character.

Brain over Binge provides both a gripping personal account and an informative scientific perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. The author, Kathryn Hansen, candidly shares her experience as a bulimic and her alternative approach to recovery. Brain over Binge is different from other eating disorder books which typically present binge eating and purging as symptoms of complex emotional and psychological problems.

Finally! Binge recovery that gets real results!
Reviewed: 06-08-19
I have suffered from one form or another of eating disorders for over 45 years. I got immediate and lasting recovery from the simple yet effective directions that Kathryn lays out here. She essentially told my story but thankfully she was able to recover and chose to share her recovery path and is now helping others to also recover. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Kathryn!

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Mystical, magical and mesmerizing

This was completely mesmerizing all the way through. It came on sweetly, quietly and got under my skin to where I took a day off of work to listen to the end. The writing was lovely, the voice was perfect and the story so touching and tragic.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 156
The path to becoming naturally thin isn't as impossible as it may seem. In The Metabolism Reset Diet, you'll unlock the key to rapid, sustained weight loss and lower blood sugar with a four-week cleanse that heals your liver and gives your metabolism new life. The hidden truth is that your liver is actually the key to a healthy metabolism. When it isn't functioning properly, it loses the ability to burn fuel. An overloaded liver can only store fuel as fat - which slows your metabolism and leads to excess weight gain.

I really like dr Christiansen’s approach. I feel as if it is a common sense approach to eating and living. I am about to start the program so I am full of hope. Time will tell. I liked that he was the one who actually does the reading. I liked his voice. Joining the Facebook group has been very helpful too.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
When Michael Gustafson and his wife Hilary opened Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they put out a typewriter for anyone to use. They had no idea what to expect. Would people ask metaphysical questions? Write mean things? Pour their souls onto the page? Yes, no, and did they ever. Every day, people of all ages sit down at the public typewriter. Children perch atop grandparents' knees, both sets of hands hovering above the metal keys: I LOVE YOU. Others walk in alone on Friday nights and confess their hopes: I will find someone someday.

In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

Incredible!
Reviewed: 03-07-17
To be honest, my husband is the true Bruce fan in the family. I bought the discs, book and audible for him for the holidays. We spent our drive time out to see family for the holidays and for funerals listening to Bruce's story. I know my husband would give this 10 million stars if he could. I have to admit that I personally was mesmerized from beginning to end. Bruce is an amazing story teller and he has the perfect voice to deliver it. I would recommend this to anyone remotely interested in rock and roll, Bruce or even just life!
