Telling it like it is. I enjoyed the book. He touched on all aspects. Living part time in Baltimore I can envision all that he speaks of. He made it seem like hustling was fun, what the starstuck young men think, but then he provided the nasty realities of tgast lifestyle and the three results. Prison, death or some type of life of bad luck. Well written. A definite good read.

Giving people insight

I am loving this book so much. It brings me back to my own younger days. I'm just to the part where he's becoming a Muslim in prison and I can't wait to get to the end. I haven't got that much time to read but it's a very eye-opening book to those who don't have any idea what it's like to be involved with drugs. I would have liked to do his proofreading though lol.

Title: Fashion Is Freedom

Subtitle: How a Girl from Tehran Broke the Rules to Change her World

Author: Tala Raassi

Narrator: Tala Raassi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-20-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The inspiring true story of how courage, a dream, and some needle and thread can change a life forever.

Since she was young, Tala Raassi knew her fate lay in fashion. But growing up in her beloved homeland of Iran, a woman can be punished for exposing her hair in public, let alone wearing the newest trends. Despite strict regulations, Tala developed a keen sense of style in backroom cafes and secret parties. She never imagined her behavior would land her in prison or bring the cruel sting of a whip for the crime of wearing a mini-skirt.

Tala's 40 lashes didn't keep her down - they fanned the flames of individuality and inspired her to embrace a new freedom in the United States. As she developed her own clothing label, her exploration into the creative, cutthroat community of Western fashion opened her eyes to the ups and downs of hard work, hard decisions, and hard truths.

Fashion Is Freedom takes us on a journey that crosses the globe, from Colombia to Miss Universe, and inspires women everywhere to be fearless.

Members Reviews:

Must Read!

Fashion Is Freedom is an inspiring story about a girl with a big heart and a rebellious way that does not mean to harm just show we do not always have to do what society dictates to us at various ages in our life. Clever, cheeky, fun, inspirational and easy to relate to. Whether it is fashion or something else in your life that drives you, Tala's message is loud and clear in the book: follow your dreams, take risks and never give up. Her attention to detail transports you to Iran, a country with so many contradictions, that fascinate those who have never been. Her stories come alive through her humorous and vivid anecdotes. You will not want to put this book down and will feel as you read it a cheerleader for Tala because she is so determined and passionate.

A must read!

Tala Raassi's story is not only uplifting but also, truly inspiring.

I initially embarked on her book for entertainment but early on, found myself immensely encouraged to pursue my passions despite the uphill battles I've encountered throughout my journey. Regardless of your industry, her truth elicits hope and inspires dedication despite the difficult paths that may ensue. Independent of my personal gains, I also found Tala's experiences to be genuinely interesting and uniquely fascinating. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration or solely a good read. Thank you, Tala for being the voice of many successful, struggling, passionate women around the world!!!

this book is also full of fun stories that anyone can relate to whether it is ...

An incredible page turner that welcomes you into the psyche of a fearless and passionate swimsuit designer, Tala Raassi. The book takes you on a journey to Iran pre and post-revolution with intricate details such as the surrounding smells, food, nightlife and political life. At times gripping, this book is also full of fun stories that anyone can relate to whether it is going after your dreams or trying to navigate life in a new country. It's honest, beautifully written and a must read

Reality check!

This woman is definitely keeping it real in her book. She is not exaggerating at all. I work in a similar field as she does and yes its pretty corrupt. I love her positivity, attitude and fire.

Title: A Guided Tour of Hell

Subtitle: A Graphic Memoir

Author: Samuel Bercholz

Narrator: Samuel Bercholz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-06-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Take a trip through the realms of hell with a man whose temporary visitor's pass gave him a horrifying - and enlightening - preview of its torments. This true account of Sam Bercholz's near-death experience has more in common with Dante's Inferno than it does with any of the popular feel-good stories of what happens when we die.

In the aftermath of heart surgery, Sam, a longtime Buddhist practitioner and teacher, is surprised to find himself in the lowest realms of karmic rebirth, where he is sent to gain insight into human suffering. Under the guidance of a luminous being, Sam's encounters with a series of hell-beings trapped in repetitious rounds of misery and delusion reveal to him how an individual's own habits of fiery hatred and icy disdain, of grasping desire and nihilistic ennui, are the source of horrific agonies that pound consciousness for seemingly endless cycles of time.

Comforted by the compassion of a winged goddess and sustained by the kindness of his Buddhist teachers, Sam eventually emerges from his ordeal with renewed faith that even the worst hell contains the seed of wakefulness. His story is offered in order to share what can be learned about awakening from our own self-created hells and helping others to find relief and liberation from theirs.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful - A must read/listen!

Incredible account of the hell realms as well as the process of how we get there and how we liberate ourselves and others from there. Gripping texture and descriptions, at first unnerving, and at last relieving. Thank you sir for your most excellent and sublime contribution for sentient beings (like me).

Épisode trois :

Être parent, c'est se préparer, de gré ou de force, à trouver des réponses aux questions parfois métaphysiques, parfois franchement terre-à-terre, que les enfants posent nécessairement. C'est quoi le paradis ? Que fête-t-on exactement à Noël ? Pourquoi certains garçons sont circoncis, d'autres non ? Pourquoi tu vas à l'église et papa à la synagogue ? C'est quoi le problème avec le porc ? Et puis, que dire à un enfant qui se fait traiter de "sale juif" à l'école ? Nous avons posé ces questions à la rabbin Delphine Horvilleur, auteure de Comment les rabbins font les enfants: Sexe, transmission et identité dans le judaïsme.

Title: He Cheated

Length: 1 hr and 47 mins

Language: English

Publisher: B.O.Y. Publications

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

After a few short years, I learned that infidelity had infiltrated my marriage. I went through a phase of shock that quickly transitioned to extreme anger. During my angry stage I went through every emotion imaginable and made many mistakes that hindered my healing process. A process that could have been over very quickly took me years to get through.

From shock, to anger, to pain, to shame...all of this while wearing a smile on my face in public. My lips were smiling but my heart was bleeding. While stumbling through the healing process, I found the most beautiful relationship possible: one with God. A God I could always turn to, a God that would never hurt me, cheat on me, make me feel used, say hurtful things to me, or let me down. I learned to focus on the giver of life. It was at that point that I began to truly live for the first time in my life. He Cheated: A Woman's Guide to Receiving God's Healing After Adultery was written to point others to the same source of my healing, Jesus Christ. Each chapter deals with a portion of my healing process and the steps I took to make it through to the other side of the issue. Travel with me on my journey and I guarantee you'll find something to help you on your own personal road to life, healing, and wholeness!

Excellent

Most of all , I would like to say Thank you for calming my broken heart and giving me hope. I cried so much reading this book, but felt so much better after. Hope you write more books.

I felt like I was reading my own diary!

Thank you so much for this insightful literary work...the entire time I was reading it, I felt as if you had peeked into my diary. This was my experience to a "T"!!

Thank you for helping me to decipher what God was saying to me and teaching me during this difficult time. The scriptures you sited, helped me so much...I soon started to feel that I wasn't alone in this situation.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU,

not alone

He cheated..... I can say it, write it without feeling emotional!. I enjoyed reading this book- received an understanding on sooo many levels. Thank you, may God continue to bless you and your family

Very helpful book! helped me to understand what I was feeling and why.

Please read this book if you have been hurt by infidelity. This book helped me understand why I was feeling what I was feeling and that I'm not crazy. Before reading this book, I felt like I was going insane. This book was extremely helpful and very easy to read. I would highly recommend this book!

A refreshing, honest look at the aftermath of adultery

This book really hit the points in my relationship that I was missing... and showed me how to take steps toward fixing myself to fix my relationship. It is a very honest look at staying married and healing and showing forgiveness after hard things happen. It was hard to read at times because of how honest it was... I could definitely see myself in some parts that weren't very pleasant.

Members Reviews:

An Honest Narrative

From Tours to Paris is the continuation of the youthful adventures of Linda Kovic, If you havent listened to French Illusions Book 1 get it now! When we left off, our traveler moved from the Loire Valley to the college town of Tours to enroll in a french language course for one-quarter. All on the dime of her understanding parents!

There Linda continues her relationship with Adam, but alls not what it seems when Adam comes back from a planned trip and drops a bombshell on Linda. Devastated Linda jumps from the frying pan into the fire when she meets Michel.

I didnt think this audiobook could top the first one, but it did! As a girl I joined the Air Force at 18-years-old, I could totally relate to all the feelings and emotions that a 21-year-old Linda experienced, I could empathize with her naivety and trust towards men in particular. Especially, if you are brought up in a sheltered environment with two loving parents. Im sure some will say that they were never that guileless even at 21. I say good for you, but there are many more of us who were.

I also felt a strong connection, when Linda revealed a family member was bipolar, I married someone who was bipolar, and her feelings and concerns about it rang true to me. I almost felt like we lived parallel lives in some ways!

The best part is Linda Kovic-Skow didnt leave her listeners hanging at the end and she lets us know what happened to her relationships after returning home.

Lucy Floyd once again did a wonderful job narrating this 9 plus hour audiobook, the switch between English and French was perfectly suited for all us non-french speaking listeners. The audio production was clear and the sound quality was excellent.

Thank you, Linda, for an honest and intriguing glimpse into your young adult life.

This audiobook was gifted to me exchange for an unbiased review!

Reads Better Than Fiction!

Well, another book by Linda Kovic-Skow is finished and I am quite sad - it is so good, I didnt want it to end!

Linda Kovic-Skow has a special way of writing - simple yet detailed, which is why I like it. She doesnt implement a lot of novel like fluff that so many authors overdo.

I finished this in 48 hours! I wish shed write more, perhaps another book on life back home.

Keep up the great work, Linda!

Beautiful charming story

If you could sum up From Tours to Paris in three words, what would they be?

Unexpected, engaging, lovely

Have you listened to any of Lucy Floyds other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All of it.

Title: Inside Vogue

Subtitle: A Diary of My 100th Year

Author: Alexandra Shulman

Narrator: Alexandra Shulman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-16

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Inside Vogue, read by Alexandra Shulman.

Editor in chief Alexandra Shulman kept a diary of British Vogue's centenary year. And what a year. She reveals the emotional and logistical minefield of producing the 100th anniversary issue (that Duchess of Cambridge cover surprise), organising the star-studded Vogue 100 Gala and working with designers from Victoria Beckham to Karl Lagerfeld and contributors from David Bailey to Alexa Chung, all under the continual scrutiny of a television documentary crew. But narrowly contained domestic chaos hovers - spontaneous combustion in the kitchen, a temperamental boiler and having to send bin day reminders all the way from Milan fashion week.

For anyone who wants to know what the life of a fashion magazine editor is really like, or for any woman who loves her job, this is a rich, honest and sharply observed account of a year lived at the centre of British fashion and culture.
