Historia
The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books - the only bookstore on Alice Island - has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose in the most embarrassing of circumstances. The store itself, it seems, will be next to go. One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children’s section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things. I love her very much, but I can no longer take care of her.

Historia
Having a clear knowledge of your business's financial life is important. No one should be in the dark about their overall financial picture. That's a disaster waiting to happen. However, with a perfunctory knowledge of basic accounting principles, including assets and liabilities, creating financial statements, budgeting, and more, you'll be on the road to healthier relationship with your money.

Audio is a good companion to the print version
Revisado: 06-22-16
This is a great starting point and over view for someone who knows they need to be keeping track of their accounting, but don't know the first place to start.
I think having a copy of the print version would be super helpful, especially during the descriptions of debits & credits. Visually, it helps to make more sense of what they're talking about.
Definitely one of those books you'll listen to a few times as you try to grasp the concepts, but luckily it's a quick and easy listen.

Historia
In September of 2015, President Barack Obama informed The Forward, in a historic interview, of his shock at learning of the closing of his favorite NYC bagel eatery, H&H Bagels, in January of 2012. While the president was shocked by the closing of the world's most famous and recognizable bagel brand, what was truly shocking were the underlying facts and circumstances surrounding the closing.

Revisado: 06-22-16
This was a fascinating look into what one man can do to overtake, build up and destroy a business.
A very interesting listen. Quick and entertaining.
It's hard to believe that people can get away with this kind of unethical behavior, but we see time and time again that is the case.

Historia
The previous book reported on the rapid convergence of five technology forces - mobile (and wearables), social media, the Internet of Things (IoT), location technologies, and data creating the promising - and the occasionally freaky sensation that our devices are starting to know us better than the closest people in our lives. The story picks up two years later in Lethal Generosity, where the freakiness has faded and retailers and other public-facing companies are rapidly adopting these new technologies.

Fascinating look at Successful Biz Strategies
Revisado: 11-19-15
Shel Israel explores the concept of providing customer centric service vs. business centric service and how that works in today's world.
While the regular practices of business over the last 100 years have focused on how to make the most money by telling the customer what they need to buy...Lethal Generosity is about LISTENING to the consumer and providing them with the best possible solution. Even if that means sending them to another store to get a better deal. By doing that, you lose the initial sale, but gain a loyal customer who will champion your brand.
It was also interesting to hear about some of the technologies that businesses are implementing to make the shopping experience more customizable and helpful. It'll be interesting to see where this beacon tech will take us over the next few years.
Jeffrey Kafer did a great job narrating this book. I kept forgetting that he wasn't the actual writer because the stories sounded as if they were experiences he himself had.

Historia
On a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing very intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his marriage that's going stale and his wife, Miranda, who he's sure is cheating on him. Ted and his wife were a mismatch from the start - he the rich businessman, she the artistic free spirit - a contrast that once inflamed their passion but has now become a cliché.

Lots of fun twists!
Revisado: 10-22-15
Thoroughly enjoyed the storytelling style.
I love the moral questions that it poses and how it all ends up playing out.
A fun ride, and the narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.
I'd be interested in listening to more by this author.

A good overview
Revisado: 10-22-15
I think the title says it all...this is a good starting point for anyone interested in creating an LLC.
While there is a lot of work and research you'll have to do on your own (which they point out) this book gives a good overview of the process and some pitfalls to stay away from.
Having just created an LLC myself I found this information to be inline with what I experienced and the advice I was given.
The narrator did a great job of taking what some would consider "dry" material and making it engaging.

This is my first attempt at this genre since I tend to spook easily, but LOVE Procedurals like CSI, and boy am I glad I did try it out.
Loved it from beginning to end, and I've loaded up my cart with the rest of the series.
Great narration by Scott Brick, and thoroughly enjoyed the structure of the story telling.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Audiobook is the ONLY reason I got through this
Revisado: 10-08-15
If you're going to read this book...THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD.
I'm not a huge fan of the romanticism/gothic style of writing, but having it read to me by a full cast was definitely a lot easier to swallow then sitting through it trying to read.
Found the characters incredibly stupid and annoying however, I did enjoy the concept Stoker used of revealing the plot via letters and journals. That was a brilliant idea on his part.
The audible cast did a good job, though I do wish Tim Curry had read for Seward rather than Van Helsing, simply because I would have LOVED to hear his voice more.
The woman who read for Mina was lovely. I really enjoyed her.

Historia
Barbara Williamson, "the most liberated woman in America," shares her life story for the first time in her amazing memoir, Free Love and the Sexual Revolution. Along with her husband, John "the messiah of sex," she founded the highly successful and controversial Sandstone Retreat in Malibu, California, in the late 1960s and early '70s. The couple started what became known as the hub of the sexual revolution.

The story of a successful OPEN and loving marriage
Revisado: 10-08-15
I’d never heard of Sandstone before listening to this book. It was an interesting look into the creation and success of the Retreat as well as a great example of how an open marriage can work.
Barbara Williamson’s relationship with her husband is one of honesty, deep love, and respect. Something we should all strive to achieve in our own relationships. They were self aware enough to recognize they’d need more than just each other to fulfil their sexual needs, but knew they wouldn’t want to go through life without one another.
Despite the social taboo they were able to embark on the Sandstone experiment and help other couples navigate the tricky waters of their own relationships.
Hearing about the Williamson’s lives post Sandstone was important because it showed how difficult it is to have an open marriage in mainstream society, and also that they were very compassionate people who dedicated their lives to helping not only people, but also animals.
I felt Harley Reese was the perfect voice for this narration. She was very pleasing to listen to, and captured the tone of the book perfectly.

Historia
At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated?

Could easily listen again AND would recommend
Revisado: 08-28-15
Didn't know what to expect from Aziz. I really only know him from Parks & Rec and have never seen/listened to his stand up.
I was pleasantly surprised, and thoroughly enjoyed the topic, his story telling, AND his narration.
It's such an interesting, and relevant topic. I'll definitely be recommending it again, and I could totally see myself listening to it again.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone in their 20's and 30's who have seen the evolution of the dating scene and emergence of the digital age.
