Brooks‘ response to her husband‘s unexpected, untimely death is poignant, raw, searing,lamentable,heartrending. #storygraph #nonfiction

3.5⭐️

I enjoy reading history because I love to learn things. In Keith Lowe's Naples 1944: The Paradise at War, Lowe takes us on a journey of Naples during WWII when the Allies first land there. His book covers the years 1943-1946.

I have a problem when I read history books. I always end up going down the rabbit hole. This time was no different. I was never taught in school about the Allies landing there, or I don't remember it.

For anyone feeling alone, no one understands the deep depression you're trying to just survive another day with, or even the powerful prison that anxiety has locked you away in this book will give you hope, light, and encouragement. Haig really knocks it out of the park describing the #mentalhealth struggles and their manifestations. For anyone suffering in silence please get help. The Stigma is a LIE!! You are worth saving.

Following up Deep Work with this book which was also assigned to me at my job.

#nonfiction #business #bestseller

This book is a solid work on putting more value on your time and spending it on projects, goals, etc. that really matter and reducing the time spent on fluff. It's geared towards knowledge workers (professors, marketing reps, etc.) but has plenty of applications for any walk of life. A primary goal of Newport is to help his readers that they're more capable of effective time management than we feel like.

Is Josh Nadeau a writer or an artist? I think a little bit of both. His writing is music to my soul. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is his journey to true living. I'm talking about true living for Jesus. To take those everyday moments and find God in every aspect. I am a Christian and love God. This book helped me realize that we can all do better. We each can become a saint in some way. We all experience the ups and downs of life, ⬇️

Rebecca the #readingsnake got another stripe.
Lime green for #nonfiction with a one row black stripe for #audiobook.

2.5⭐️ The main reason for the rating is that the author spent way too much time discussing the sea otter and lumber trade and wish he had spent more time on Hadwin‘s story. #2025 #nonfiction #bookclub #britishcolumbia
