Limby is venturing into new 'literal' literary territory. This is one part Dahlian, one part Joycean youth novel. He plays on words and delights with humor. It's a quick read, might have to read it twice, cause there's much to be missed just once through. It has quite a bit of depth for a youth novel. Leaves me wanting to read more from Limby. The world the characters enter is one that's never before been imagined. Strongly recommended!

This book is much like Mary and Krista themselves: charming, practical, and straight down to business. Both are brave enough to dream, and driven enough to make those dreams come true. How they accomplish this is laid out in simple, easy to follow steps. The book barely has begun before they've laid out six questions to answer to both define your dream and the path to it. Get a pencil, some paper and answer the questions; you'll be glad you did. Oh, and when you do, remember to celebrate your accomplishment, as Mary and Krista advise. I'd pair this book with a nice Cote du Rhone; both are highly recommended.

The book expressed a five-step method that will improve both your personal and financial worth. I enjoyed reading the different experience scenarios and their application to attain real-life goals. I especially enjoyed the "Johnny Appleseed" Experience--planting seeds that will help or improve the lives of others. I felt this book far exceeds its worth as a financial tool in that it can be applied to personal growth and strength as well.

Jon "Mary" Arterton (of "Flirtations" fame), Mary Jo Paranzino and Mary Abt (of "Destiny") combine their joy-filled magnificent voices to share, with the world, what has been a regular treat for locals in Provincetown, Cape Cod, Ma. USA. Stunning a capella plus piano which moves, rouses and celebrates.

Since all three band members are happily openly same sex attracted (Mary Jo and Mary being long term life partners) there's an expected and significantly rewarding element of queer political commentary (especially in the firm demand for respect in "Homophobic Blues") but there are also high broad moral values expressed in most other tracks such as "Feelin' Good". We're even given a vocal appreciation of the joy of living "In Provincetown" which makes you want to move there.

Listeners hearing this quality of teamworked musicianship can't fail to be inspired to find and express their own voices - which is exactly what would make each of these Three Marys very happy.

I love true stories with real people.  However, I had never heard of this couple's inspiring experiences.  Through patience and perserverance they were able to come out victorious over the adventures of life.

Wow, I really enjoyed this book. First of all, Sally Miller has some serious writing chops. This book is FUN to read. Her style is brisk and enthusiastic. Its like you and Sally are gabbing over a couple glasses of Cabernet and she leans in and says, You would not BELIEVE how much I made from Airbnb this month! And then she spills the beans and tells you EXACTLY how you, too, can make $2,500 or MORE each month. How many people out there are trying to supplement their income by freelancing, or doing Internet Marketing, or making knick knacks to sell on Etsy. Well for a few hours a month you can make that side income from Airbnb. And Miller gives you EVERYTHING: step-by-step instructions, checklists, and actual scriptsthings to say or write in an emailto set up your first listing, land your first renter, and how to do it again and again.

Using Diddy as an example for practical advice to entrepreneurs on the come up - brilliant move.  I'm loving The Phat Startup for its unconventional, yet practical set of ideas, lessons & authenticity.  Good work!

Love this family and their show. I'm in the middle of the book already and I just bought it - I'm really enjoying it. . BE AWARE THOUGH you can buy the book directly from the publisher for FAR less than these 2nd hand sellers are charging.

The purpose of this review is to say whether or not "Surak's Soul" is worth shelling out ...hard-earned cash for. Yes, in this case, the entertainment was well worth the exchange.
Five stars, A+, a "good-job" sticker, and high praise for J.M. Dillard.
So far, I like Dillard's book better than all of the others written for the Enterprise series (with the exception of "Broken Bow" which is the novelization of the pilot TV episode. I found "Broken Bow" useful to get a grip on the "new" Star Trek crews' characters).
I unreservedly say that Dillard wrote the best Enterprise story so far. Her book reads like a good TV episode. At first, I was exceedingly apprehensive about spending the money on a book with rather larger print and only 218 pages, but I took the chance. I am glad I did.  I read the story slowly to savor it and found that I really enjoyed the book.
Other reviews may give synopses of the storyline, so I'll make mine very brief since the purpose of my review is really only to say whether or not I think a book is worth the money it costs. I will take it for granted the you already know who the main characters are and what their relationships to each other are.
T'Pol accidently kills an alien and creates a severe philosophical trauma for herself. While she's working to resolve her inner conflict, the Enterprise crew, and ultimately Earth, are threatened by an alien entity. T'Pol must decide whether or not to aid the crew by using violence or not. The story is filled with philosophy (which I never enjoy, but it was essential to the story), emotion (Dillard did a very good job in this department), and action (again, she did a great job with the action scenes).
To sum up, I am very well pleased overall with "Surak's Soul" as a new edition to the Enterprise series. I haven't been tremendously happy with the other books in the series, but Dillard revived my hope that Pocket Books found a great voice for telling Enterprise stories. I hope Dillard will write many more books for this new fun group of Star Trek stars.
Also, I would like to praise the cover-designer as well. Good job.

Traveling independently has its rewards! I feel compelled to share some of the B&B's that we have stayed in as a result of this book. When we look back on our trips, we remember the warmth of the hosts who shared their home with us and waved goodbye as we left.
# 359 en route to Lourdes. I felt like I was staying in a doll house. Everything was PERFECT! The hosts were lovely people. The evening meal was excellent.
# 334 just south of Toulouse. The owners will enchant you in this lovely farmhouse. They make sure that everyone has GOOD TIME at the evening meal! English is not necessary! The owner's have hosted guests from all over the world!!!
#386 Normandy. This a a perfectly lovely half-timbered farmhouse. The owners will make you feel like family!
We will be using this guide again for the 4th time this September. So far, I have chosen # 567, #672, #336 and #334 (listed above). I will keep you updated! I always choose B&B's where some English is spoken. I always look for comments concerning the hosts hospitality. You can spend as little as $. and take home memories that will last a lifetime!
...If we can help .... Spain or France???

Read it, and use it. It is well worth the price of admission to gain insights from those who have actually succeeded.

Everything has a cost and everyday we're asked to choose how much we're willing to pay for those things. Which is worth more to you: a life of ease or the opportunity to make your own choices? How about security? Or love? This book is all about second chances at answering those questions right. I loved the relationship between Bobby and Roxy. He's as alpha as Damon and Anthony were in their books, but he's quieter about it - a more low key alpha energy. Roxy's just amazing. To start over after the family she grew up with and still have her sanity and sense of humor is pretty impressive. Her ordeal with the stalker had me anxiously turning pages to find out how they'd catch him and claim their happily-ever-after.

America's Cheapest Family is a catchy title, & is written in an engaging conversational style. I especially enjoyed the paragraphs occasionally provided by the kids. A refreshing change from other books, to have their point of view included. The ideas presented are solid, & I like the 3 different "levels" at the end of each chapter. You don't feel like a failure if you can't quite reach to such an extreme level. The stories are endearing, especially about their long vacation. There will be something for everyone to learn in this book. An amazing family.

I think that considering the elements of an investment or property that will give you joy, and being motivated by the desire do something good for your community or the people around you is as important as anything when analyzing a real estate investment and I really appreciated affirmation of that. I already have investment properties; I was looking for a way to live on that passive income and spend less time making money at my job. I'm a realtor with property management as part of my office, LOL, and I thought her advice was all really good. I also think I'm closer to being to able to retire on passive income than I realized. The startup advice was very practical and useful I thought too. I couldn't agree more with her assessment of more traditional retirement plans.

I rated this book a 3 because I didn't think it was great but it is simply good.  The real value in this book is the fact that we see that life should be experienced and enjoyed and not just lived.  What I mean is that we have to appreciate our personal experiences without trying to over think, over analyze things in our modern way.  The journey is what matters most and not the goal itself.  I appreciate the author's candor and honesty in the book.  Worth buying even given my 3 rating, just not overly generous with 4 & 5 ratings.

I'm so proud of Zach, James, Dave, and Matt. They are truly talented and ultimately dedicated to their music, plus they're really nice guys! Their music is fun and uplifting, with a nice beat and meaningful lyrics. If you have the chance, see them live- they're just as good as the recordings.

I had the pleasure of sharing lunch with Joe and Kait a few months ago while they were in Oregon. I'm a huge fan of their videos and what you see there is who they are - fun, adventuresome, responsible people who really care about others.

I rarely read anymore but enjoyed this book immensely because it allowed me to experience the highs, lows, stresses and life-changing decisions that Joe and Kait made in order to live life on their own terms. As Joe said, "Many people have told us they wished they'd taken the risks we're taking" and I'm in that same group. At this point in my life I can't do what they're doing but their website, weekly YouTube videos and VLOGS allow me to live vicariously through them.

Joe's book is like a great novel in a series - the last page leaves you wanting more. This book was the first in a series and I'm already looking forward to the next one - and the ones after that.
