Bright-Sided

by Barbara Ehrenreich
- Rated 5 stars
“Thrilled that the author wrote this book about spinning faux-postivie into everything and anyone. Please get out of denial and grab a healthy dose of reality because it is important to see things for what they are. Sincere thank you to the author.”

Drift

by Rachel Maddow
- Rated 4 stars
“How/why we drifted into being a war machine with no end in sight. It is a sad state. Read and discuss. You will also find about our nuclear status and just where are those bombs? They are where? Yes! Good grief indeed. Should we not know this? ..........we should not be in the dark.”

Fairy Tale Interrupted

by Rosemarie Terenzio
- Rated 5 stars
“Loved Rosemarie's voice. A very worthy read-- from the author who was front center at George Magazine & the assistant to John Kennedy Jr. Heartfelt, honest,--funny and heartbreaking-- One could relate to having work days named "opposite day" & "because I said so" day; ---the boss is not perfect everyday. But seriously, was it not the best job ever?? Yet, how does it feel to manage someone's life 24/7? What are the boundaries? You will find yourself asking questions throughout this read. In addition; the rants, the raves & the candor about work, family and friends is simply refreshing. I believe George Magazine was way ahead of it's time. To the author: Thanks for sharing!”

Between Shades of Gray

by Ruta Sepetys
- Rated 5 stars
“Lina is determined to stay alive; she is a talented artist, strong-willed, loves her family and only wants to be back home in Lithuania. The book is based on true stories of survivors; check out the author’s video on Amazon. Fast paced, vivid and horrifying; this is a gripping & a heart breaking story about a young girl and her family who they were on Stalin's list. How do you survive the crowded cattle car train through Russia, the work camps & then to Siberia’s frozen artic world? Hungry and terrified Lina finds a way to see hope for their future and tender moments under the cruelest of conditions. “Andrius turned to her and said,
“No. Don’t be scared. Don’t give them anything, Lina, not even your fear.” ”
