Interesting History

This book is for people who like polar exploration, disasters , and Fascist machinations . It isn’t the best of all these , but it certainly is one of the more unique stories of this time period .

Deserves a place in polar expedition literature

Revisado: 02-11-22

I’m no Stranger to this genre. If you are looking for a book full of adventure, utmost respect for indigenous peoples, and awe for the northern lands, look no further. If you are hesitant because of the word spiritual in the subtitle, it is no more or less spiritual than other books of this kind. Spiritual refers to the introspection one gets in during polar challenges. This book is in no way preachy Nor does it dwell on religion at all.

Who knew?

Revisado: 01-30-22

This is one of those topics that you just kind of don’t think about and it is totally compelling and now it makes me want to try catering. It was weirdly immersive and I loved it

A multiple listen

Revisado: 08-23-21

I started this one like three times over. You don’t realize how many sociopaths are in your life until you listen to this book. I’m shook. Eyes open now.

This takes its place among the great mountaineering books. Very well researched and exciting book about an elusive mountain.

Really long , but keeps your interest

Revisado: 05-08-21

Just when you thought this book couldn’t get any longer, you look down and you realize there’s still like seven hours left. How could there possibly be more to say about this company? Well, there was, and I finish the whole book without getting bored. For anyone who is interested in brand names, designers, and luxury goods, this is not just about Gucci but about the luxury goods world in general. I only picked this up because it was on a daily deal and really cheap, but in hindsight, it would’ve been worth a credit.

Did not disappoint

Revisado: 04-15-21

Nothing kills my fan girl harder then a trilogy that starts out strong and ends horribly. This one just kept getting better and better. I loved all three books and it ended in a really satisfying way. I’m impressed. This is what all YA should aspire to be like.

Futuristic Melrose Place with rich teens

Revisado: 04-07-21

I can’t help myself, I love this series. It’s like if Melrose Place was in the future but they were teenagers. So good. A lot of futuristic books are too far-fetched to be believable but this one is plausible. Sometimes it feels like there’s too many characters to keep track of, but then they all kind of interweave together so it ends up making sense. If you were hesitant because you don’t know if you should be reading YA books as an adult, just throw out a side, set up the hammock, fix a mimosa, and enjoy.

Adulty Ready Player One during Quarantine

Revisado: 03-28-21

It feels like an algorithm was run on 40-year-olds during 2020 and this book was the result. That being said, it held my interest and I finished it in three days. It’s predictable but well done.

Learned a lot, but def a content warning

Revisado: 03-22-21

As a high school teacher, this is absolutely the kind of book I would want to share with my students so that they know what to do as they start to navigate adulthood, but there’s just too much unnecessary swearing and a lot of stripper and sex worker talk, so I couldn’t. That being said, it was really interesting and I feel like I personally learned a lot
