Endeavour inspires, informs and entertains through powerful stories and big ideas, whether that’s a memoir revealing a fresh Through her poignant memoir, Julia Haart shows readers that it’s the journey rather than the destination that will fulfill us. Written with great intensity and rare candor, Brazen is a story of longing for more and manifesting that vision. While deeply personal, it reveals universal truths about humanity and womanhood. . . . An irresistible read.” —Tommy Hilfiger my skin is clear. my gpa is up. spring has come early. i'm hydrated. i have been cured of my nearsightedness. The first part of the book is pretty solid, but as the book goes on you start going "Mmm I dunno if that actually happened. That doesn't sound like a real story." I listened to the audiobook and would say the first part just sounded more genuine. This book is not especially well written. There is a lot of repetition and it drags quite a bit. Things like why she didn't take her children with her when she left are repeated over and over across multiple chapters. Certain phrases like "little did I know that this would almost lead to my undoing" or "I was against interminable odds" are used ad nauseum.

And, I don't know about you, but a big beefy cop with a beard who lectures people about eating healthy is not my knight in shining armor. Zero attraction factor. We got to know a little bit about Ed in book #1. I found him endearing and weird in that book, and off-putting as anything in this book. No worries, Grace irritated the life out of me too. Ed pretty much falls instantly in love with Grace as soon as he sees her. When he finds out she is his favorite mystery author he is pretty much in heaven. When Grace's sister is found raped and murdered by an unknown assailant, Ed decides no matter what he is going to find the killer. This was much better than I was expecting. I mean, I already love what I've seen of Pénélope Bagieu’s work, but I think this is her best book yet.Pyramid publishes books on a wide range of popular subjects including cookery, reference, mind body spirit and gift. Beyond its new books, Pyramid is known for its titles drawn from the extensive Octopus archive and its custom publishing expertise. Short Books has established itself as a publisher of first-class, popular non-fiction. The first Short Books publications were a series of compact, informative and entertaining biographies. Since then it has evolved to focus predominantly on ‘mind, body, spirit’ books following on from the success of The Fast Diet (2013) by Dr Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer. Most of the book focuses on her life before leaving her ultra religious life, which makes sense in terms of time, but I was personally hoping for a bit more on her growth after that. What we get throughout is actually very surface-level, mostly factual retellings of specific events. While the religious side painted a slightly-better insight of her life, the only part in the later of the book that I felt any emotion as a reader was when she first had sex with Lucas . There are a lot of fun graphic novels about feminism coming out lately, like THE LITTLE BOOK OF FEMINIST SAINTS and DEAD FEMINISTS: HISTORIC HEROINES LIVING IN COLOR. I think this is great because graphic novels are a medium that are accessible to a wide range of ages (kids and adults), which makes them an excellent resource for classrooms and libraries. In terms of maturity levels, though, BRAZEN (as befitting its name), definitely seems like it's intended for older audiences, with depictions of nudity and some violence. Julia Haart is a hustler. Her story is an inspiring, believe-in-your-dreams, never-give-up,anything-in-life-is-possible story of hope. She is a very smart businesswoman who also loves women! Run, don’t walk, to get this book!” —Lisa Rinna

Once she decides to "break free" (in her early 40s!) there's not even really any drama that goes along with that. She pretends to be crazy to justify her leaving her husband, she moves into New York City, and stumbles into creating her own shoe brand. It's all very circumstantial and no big deal. The last third of the book is excruciatingly detailed about all the horrible mistakes she made and people she mistrusted to put her shoe kingdom together. The only interesting parts are the few liberated sex scenes she has when discovering her ability to squirt massively during orgasms. Isn't that fun to read about? So book #2 definitely does not work as well as book #1 does. The story-line felt very rushed (the hero declares his love for the heroine before they even make love, proposes marriage after they make love for the first time) and the serial rapist/murderer did not work real well. The two leads had no real chemistry and I was more happy to see the return of Tess and Ben then to spend anytime with the new heroine and hero. That night Grace and Ed act on their attraction. At the next morning's debriefing, after Ben reports Rand's legit alibis, Grace proposes baiting the killer by posing as Desiree. In the meantime, after wrestling practise Jerald beats Rand severely after he says he was obsessed with Kathleen.

This was an older book, written in the 80's, and it showed. Attitudes towards smoking and drugs, especially. Also I think it's weird to refer to yourself as a disrupter. I think that's something you let other people call you, but don't use as a self descriptor, like "classic beauty".

Her role within La Purla was very rushed over in the end after spending what felt like a lifetime listening to her being taken advantage of by ‘friends’ within the world of the billionaire elite which she quite clearly craved to be a part of. I finished it thinking that I cannot have my own re birth as I simply do not have an endless amount of investors to support me flying all over the world and booking suites in hotels. In un mondo in cui le storie sulle donne si raccontano ancora troppo poco, in cui sembra che la storia sia fatta solo dagli uomini e che le donne del passato siano state buone solo a fare da accessorio e a cucinare il pane, abbiamo bisogno di libri che parlino di loro. Indomite si inserisce in un filone in crescita, ma è perché ce n’é un gran bisogno.Meh. I enjoyed learning more about the culture and why she chose to leave, but I didn't like HER. She's tiny (we know), she "always" does this, she "always" ends relationships well, so everyone ALWAYS likes her, she ALWAYS got the end-of-week bonus, she ALWAYS aced all of her exams. “There’s no WAY you can be forty five!” Come on, there's a difference between being confident and learning a little humility. Plus, I understand she was excited to be able to finally experience (good) sex and love, but seriously, some details should not be shared. Gross. The setting of DC unlike with the previous book is just confined to Ed and Grace's homes. I do not ever want to read again about someone renovating their house. It's boring. At one point I was all why are we spending time on them talking about dry-wall? And then I realized I didn't care and wanted to finish the book. Founded by Paul Hamlyn in 1951 with the aim of creating ‘fine books with a common touch’, today Hamlyn publishes highly commercial cookery and lifestyle titles for the widest possible audience, with a focus on household names, mass-market concepts and family-friendly brands. In one story, she complained how she was taught a "chumra", a stringency, as the letter of the law, yet time and time again, she misrepresents what the rules/regulations are versus the community standards. (To be clear, I do not doubt that there were times when she was ostracized by not holding to the strictest standards, as demanded by the community, but I believe that it is just as disingenuous when she explains basic observances that way.) I watched her show on Netflix and the questionable red flag that kept popping up in my head was … “How on earth did this woman go from a very suppressed, low education life to CEO of a major corporation?” And the book answers all of it.
