Embark on a ride filled with space travel and war. mystery and more but above all else, this is a story about a young lady. one who is looking to redeem her family name and find a place to fit in while making a better life. Like Brandon Sanderson and want to know more or looking for someone new to read? Strap in and remember her callsign is spin. Listen to the stars, good luck, and happy reading

Do you want a hand in determining the future of the country you love? Then you absolutely must read this before you vote in the 2020 presidential election. This book written by a family member may help to explain some of the things that we currently see. Warning yes it is a current politics book. Not everyone will like everything they hear read with discretion. But in my opinion, I think Mary deserves a well done for putting her country above herself or her family in this instance. However other readers may have a differing opinion from my own and that's okay because after all, we are a democracy and everyone's opinion should matter.

These are questions that young Tommy (pronounced toe-me must struggle to answer for himself in order to find his place in the world around him. Why because the year is 1941 and the United States is at war. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a big problem for someone this boy's age given that they probably be busy with school and other things but Tommy well he has a slight problem. What problem you ask, if you'd like to know that I highly recommend you begin reading under the blood-red sun by Graham Saulsberry it's the first book in a four-book series of historical fiction books suitable for readers of about 12 or so. Why 12 kids well because then you'll be roughly around the same age as the boy in the story. It's time for an indenture. Happy reading to all, PS. The name of the series is prisoners of the Empire for those who would like to know

Three days and hell by Blair Howard tells the story of the battle of Chickamauga. This battle is one that may not be as well known to some as are other battles of the American Civil War. Mr. Howard does a good job of blending true accounts with his own character. The author has many other titles also related to the Civil War, a list of which may be heard at the end of the story. He also gives his own explanations so be sure to stay tuned for those. If you are interested in history or in puzzling out the details as to which parts of historical fiction are true and which are not, a game you can play as you read in this genre, and one that can help younger readers of about middle or high school age to develop an ere for picking up on and remembering context and plot clues as well as plot sequencing events, then this book might be a good starting place for you. Historical fiction such as is found in this book may be a more pleasurable way to learn your American Civil War history if you're a student. But students fair warning do your research before you use any answers in class not all of this will be real it's up to you to find out what is good hunting. For those of you who are not students but just like to read Mr. Howard provides a good story told in a first-person account I would recommend this one if you're looking for a short trip back in time. For any American Civil War enthusiasts you'll like this book too. Happy reading everyone. PS. LOL no I'm not a teacher.

Meet the fourth King of Jordan ,

If you could sum up Our Last Best Chance in three words, what would they be?

Unexpected , Instructive and helpful to those willing to listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

King Abdullah is an unexpected friend to the American people just as his father was before him .He is a king so we don't always get to see the man behind the position. this book gives us a glimpse. allowing us to see a side of H.M. and the middle east we may not have thought about before. H.M. seems to like to share information about his culture. some of the politics can be hard to hear but I think it is worth it and you might better understand why HM. has made some of the choices he has.

Have you listened to any of Nadim Sawalha’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't heard any other books, While not his fault if you are not used to a middle eastern accent a few words may be hard to understand. But that too is worth it.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

That;s hard to Chose i think it will be different for each reader.

Any additional comments?

to learn more about Jordan and the Royal Family look for leap of faith and the King's Courser which is about King Hussain of Jordan

Would you consider the audio edition of Changes: Collegium Chronicles, Book 3 to be better than the print version?

yes, I have always liked to listen to books, I've always thought of it much same way as listening to things on the radio as our grandparents did. Leaving us free to be less worried about the words and able to give more attention to the details of the story

Who was your favorite character and why?

it's hard to pick just one. so my top four are; Mags Nicholas kaylin and Keral (the king)

What about Nick Podehl’s performance did you like?

I think he has the right style and tone for this story line. He is good at his craft.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

A True American Hero

Reviewed: 06-10-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Finding Paddy is a biography that tells the story of the life of F.D.N.Y. Captain Patrick J. Brown(Paddy to his friends.) anyone looking an example of heroism in todays world to tell your kids about or even fallow yourself would be well served to look here I think. No from the sound of it this Gentleman was not perfect but he can be seen as someone who may have made mistakes but learned to pick himself up and try again A good thing to learn for everyone.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Finding Paddy?

for me it was finding out that Capt. Brown had been a Vietnam veteran as well as a Firefighter.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scenes are the ones in which you find out just how much of a Fireman's Fireman Capt. Brown was willing to be.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
