Dominique Briggs dominiquebriggs — All you bestselling authors out there (past, present, future)…listen up. Sarah is here to tell us to “Do as I say,” not as she did. After Sarah got dramatically wealthy in what seemed to her like an instant (after being on Oprah! Hmmmm....David Bach also dropped Oprah’s name in his book #56 on my blog but Sarah doesn't sound smarmy when she does it), she hired financial advisors, but surprise! None of them told her that she should financially protect herself. Now (one might argue), should she have had to be told that? This book is about how she wrote her first book, “Simple Abundance” which made her fabulously, unexpectedly wealthy, and how she screwed up and lost all of that money. As I read the opening to this book, I couldn’t help but think that Sarah was hoping that history could, nay would, repeat itself; that she could write another (similar) book and get fabulously wealthy again. Well, I guess it’s been well proven over the years that it can happen. I’m wondering if her gamble will pay off. Right there on the book's cover above the title of this new book is the title of her first (did she mention that it was a bestseller??) book, “Simple Abundance“. Some of her assertions, such as “I discovered that women just love to spend money,” really were just kind of offensive. There were other sentences though, like “Cheap is not cheerful, but homespun thrift wraps is in a warm tapestry of fulfillment…” (pp. 38-39) that I thought were just lovely. Here’s another: “…appreciate the precious but fleeting well spent moments of every day’s sacred ordinary…” (p.39). She is the queen of alliteration, but I happen to be a fan of alliteration. so it was all good. “The Thrill of Thrift” and “Creating a Comfort Companion” are two good examples. Sarah loses it all, and then writes her way back from that brink. She turns to history and finds solace in the life stories of other women who have been in similar situations and how they deal with it is woven in throughout this book. One of the best sayings she finds to help get her through the darker times is this: "Keep calm and carry on," p. 86. The chapters are fairly short, so if you wanted to read this book a little at a time, the format lends itself nicely to that. In the end, I liked this book very much, and think that every woman, whether she is struggling financially or not, will related to much of what Sarah says here and find it a worthwhile read. I hope it makes it to the bestseller list and that she can get back on her feet financially.

Natalie Venuto natalievenuto — Story of a family in RI, told from perspectives of each of the family members. Older sister is very ill with cancer. Younger sister genetically engineered / born with purpose of being bone marrow donor. Younger sister gets lawyer to sue parents and refuse to donate kidney to older sister. I read this book in a day. Jodi Picoult is not a subtle author, but she can write a page-turner

Ramazan Uranli ramazanuranli — My favorite Tom Robbins book!

Danny King dannykingme — To be completely honest I'm not really sure how I feel about this book or end of the series I have never been a fan of open end interpretation .... I feel feel the author brought you this far the author should get the final say as to how the story ends.I feel like this series ends with more questions than answers :( it was beautifully written and I really did feel deeply connected to the characters as they went throughout all there endevers I just wish there had been move closure for me personally
