Publisher's Summary:

Written in radiant prose and with stunning psychological acuity, award-winning author Sarah Cornwell's What I Had Before I Had You is a deeply poignant story that captures the joys and sorrows of growing up and learning to let go.

Olivia Reed was fifteen when she left her hometown of Ocean Vista on the Jersey Shore. Two decades later, divorced and unstrung, she returns with her teenage daughter, Carrie, and nine-year-old son, Daniel, recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Distracted by thoughts of the past, Olivia fails to notice when Daniel disappears from her side. Her frantic search for him sparks memories of the summer of 1987, when she exploded out of the cocoon of her mother's fierce, smothering love and into a sudden, full-throttle adolescence, complete with dangerous new friends, first love, and a rebellion so intense that it utterly recharted the course of her life.

Olivia's mother, Myla, was a practicing psychic whose powers waxed and waned along with her mercurial moods. Myla raised Olivia to be a guarded child, and also to believe in the ever-present infant ghosts of her twin sisters, whom Myla took care of as if they were alive - diapers, baby food, an empty nursery kept like a shrine. At fifteen, Olivia saw her sisters for the first time, not as ghostly infants but as teenagers on the beach. But when Myla denied her vision, Olivia set out to learn the truth - a journey that led to shattering discoveries about herself and her family.

Sarah Cornwell seamlessly weaves together the past and the present in this riveting debut novel, as she examines the relationships between mothers and daughters, and the powerful forces of loss, family history, and magical thinking.

Publisher's Summary:

A powerful story about an unforgettable friendship between two teenage boys and their hopes for escape from a dead-end town.

The year is 1968. The world is changing, and sixteen-year-old Jon Mosher is determined to change with it. Racked by guilt over his older brothers childhood death and stuck in the dead-end town of Brewster, New York, he turns his rage into victories running track.

Meanwhile, Ray Cappicciano, a rebel as gifted with his fists as Jon is with his feet, is trying to take care of his baby brother while staying out of the way of his abusive, ex-cop father.

When Jon and Ray form a tight friendship, they find in each other everything they lack at home, but its not until Ray falls in love with beautiful, headstrong Karen Dorsey that the three friends begin to dream of breaking away from Brewster for good. Freedom, however, has its price. As forces beyond their control begin to bear down on them, Jon sets off on the race of his life - a race to redeem his past and save them all.

Mark Slouka's work has been called "relentlessly observant, miraculously expressive" (New York Times Book Review). Reverberating with compassion, heartache, and grace, Brewster is an unforgettable coming-of-age story from one of our most compelling novelists.

Members Reviews:

OK 60's coming-of-age story

This novel had the feel of a true life gritty memoir. It's about trying to fit in during tough high school years. It focuses on three misfit friends and a girlfriend of one. The protagonist deals with the guilt of surviving the death of a brother. Running track is his outlet. The time and place rang true, and as a guy who grew up in the same era, I can say that the author had the language of the times right. There is not too much of a plot line (making it more artsy...), with some themes running through it. You will probably guess the main theme early one, but I won't be a spoiler. The story never engaged me as a whole, yet I enjoyed many parts, and stayed to the end of this short novel.

Great older narrator telling about a tough time

I started reading Brewster for a writing class, to understand how Slouka could seamlessly slip between the older narrator, looking back, and the younger narrator in the moment. To me Slouka is brilliant. Not just for creating an interesting narrative voice, but for creating vivid characters, with a strong sense of place.

It's a tough story told with care. Slouka is fair with his telling. Even the gritty scenes are done with care

His use of language and metaphor made me want to get better at writing.

And perhaps the most important, I cared about the characters. And there are quite a few.

So so

Not that thrilled with the story. Buy it on sale if you decide to buy it at all. Nothing to write home about.

Members Reviews:

2 1/2 hours well spent!

Any additional comments?

I've always been fond of reincarnation and ghost stories and this one did not disappoint. This story centers on Stephanie who is a workaholic woman who gets laid off of work after devoting her entire life to the company. Now in her mid-40's, she suddenly finds herself with no family, no job, and no love life. In an attempt to cheer her up, Steph's one remaining friend from childhood takes her to an animal shelter to take her mind off her troubles. Despite having no intention of adopting any animal, she immediately falls in love with a monstrous dog she rescues and names William the Conqueror. The rest of the story are the antics that ensue.

Needing to take a business trip this week, I was looking for a story between 2-3 hours to help pass the time. This was 2 1/2 hours well spent. Sara Morsey's narration was excellent. She had good pace, inflections, and tone. I also liked the differing voices, not only between the genders, but the generations as well.

sweet and enjoyable story is a perfect diversion

AudioBook Review:

Stars: Overall 4 Narration 4 Story 4

Engaging and adorable insets of animal quirks add to the emotional impact of this story as it highlights the humans own insecurities while encouraging their growth. A well-crafted short story that incorporates humor, insecurities and true emotions to the characters, and presents a story that is as complete as a full-length novel.

Stephanie is a single 40-something woman who existed with her safe and well-defined yet emotionless life: until she is laid off from her job and her best friend convinces her to adopt a dog that is the size of a small pony. Stephanie is removed from her emotions, despite a long-standing relationship, her only, with a therapist. When the dog, William the Conqueror, knocks her maintenance man silly, Stephanie feels that the safer option was to have Gabe stay in her apartment while he recovers.

Gabe and Stephanie knew one another from high school: both were interested but neither were brave enough to make the move. Through it all, the dog, a cross between a pony and wolfhound, is more than able to give her thoughts of emotional growth and potential changes.

Sweet and emotionally available, the narration by Sara Morsey is perfectly suited to the characters and story. She feels like Stephanie, with a gradual change in emotive emphasis as the characters start to gain their own growth. This sweet and enjoyable story is a perfect diversion that will leave a smile on your face.

I received an AudioBook copy of the title from the publisher via AudioBook Jukebox for purpose of honest review.

Title: Breakers

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: William B. McCloskey Jr.

Narrator: Aaron Abano

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The triumphant sequel to William McCloskeys bestselling novel about the commercial fishing industry.

William McCloskeys best-selling novel Highliners established him as an authority on the dangers and hardships of the Alaskan fishing industry. Now in an epic sequel, Breakers returns to Kodiak to chart the fortunes of McCloskeys beloved characters as they make their living from the sea.

A respected skipper, Hank Crawford runs his own boat and is well liked by his crew. Yet Hank knows all too well that with a hefty mortgage to pay off, a brand-new boat, and an even newer baby, he and his family need the crab and salmon to keep coming into their nets.

But as every fisherman knows, the sea is a fickle mistress. The crab season is the poorest yet, and salmon prices drop. When his child falls ill and his boat gets damaged, Hank journeys in desperation to his partners in Japan. Here he faces a moral crossroads: compromise his own business ethics or risk losing everything hes worked for.

With the same thrill of danger, McCloskey captures the excitement, the drama, and the never-ending fears that are the landmarks of the commercial fishermans trade. Breakers is truly a triumphant addition to the saga Highliners sets in motion.

Editorial Reviews:

This spectacular novel about the Alaskan fishing industry is written in an immediate, highly detailed style, so that listeners are able to fully imagine the Alaskan landscape, weather, sea, and even the details of particular fish. Aaron Abano is an enthusiastic and lively narrator; his voice dips and swells rather like the sea itself. Breakers is the sequel to McCloskey's best-selling Highliners, so listeners may wish to experience that audiobook first, so that they can familiarize themselves with the book's brave characters. Breakers is a thrilling dip into the world of Alaskan Fishing, with all its danger, excitement, and adventure.

Review

Love the series so far, can't wait till I can read the last one.

Love reading about the places I use to live

William B McCloskey 4 stars

I was born and raised in Alaska.and enjoy books with setting in Alaska.Can you send me a list of books by McClosky I rate this book an 8 out of 10 or four 'stars

Five Stars

Thank you

Ishmael of the Alaska fisheries

I just finished BREAKERS and while driving to Thanksgiving dinner, I realized why Hank Crawford and his exploits are so compelling to me. He's Ishmael and Billy Budd thrown together (like Conrad's Secret Sharers) and flung head-long into the chaos, carnage and maelstrom of Alaska's greatest offshore boom-and-bust.

McCloskey puts you in the skin of these high seas cowboys, addicted to the thrill of the chase across storm-swept seas and the endless tug-of-between themselves and their buyers, clever, Oriental and Occidental businessmen who always seem to stay one, strategic step ahead of the fishermen.

You want to feel the anxiety, joy, despair, fear, panic, disappointment, loneliness and determination that Alaska's offshore fishermen lived with twenty years ago? Pick-up BREAKERS and give McCloskey your imagination, curiosity and taste for adventure for just a few hours. He'll take care of the rest.

I know it's 100-years too late to prove it. But I think Herman Melville, himself, would give you the same advice after he reviewed BREAKERS.

Title: Section Eight (Shadow Warriors)

Author: Bob Mayer

Narrator: Jeffrey Kafer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 09-12-13

Publisher: Robert J. Mayer

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Section 8: The men and women called upon by The Organization to do the impossible. They are the soldiers with nothing to lose, making up a top-secret unit tasked with what others call suicide missions.

Long before the United States existed, The Organization pulled strings...Dating back to the destruction of the Knights Templar, possibly even further in history.

Captain Jim Vaughn is an officer in disgrace. Commanding a Special Forces mission to rescue hostages in the Philippines, Vaughn's team is destroyed, and when the smoke clears, he becomes the scapegoat. Forced into the shadows by the scandal, Vaughn is offered a chance to redeem himself when he is approached by an enigmatic government agent working for The Organization.

Vaughn is shocked to meet his new teammates, a group outside of the regular chain of command. These are soldiers who have used up all their second chances - the men and women who have crossed the line one too many times. Drug users. Felons. The terminally ill. And now, these are the soldiers that Vaughn must trust with his life. Even with a traitor in their ranks. But is the traitor actually the patriot?

This group of misfits has been assembled for two reasons - they are skilled and they are expendable. They are needed to attempt the missions that the government can't acknowledge, the country can't condone. The team cannot fail. But the deeper Vaughn gets into the group, the more he realizes that The Organization may be concealing more than the just rap sheets of its most unusual operators. A team of such unique properties is the perfect tool to use against America's enemies...and possibly America itself.

Members Reviews:

Exciting and energetic.

This is my favorite installment in the Shadow Warriors series. The action scenes are so expertly written I could imagine each weapon, tactical movement, and fight sequence like a movie playing in my mind. Kafer's narration adds more energy to this already exciting story. A twist at the end creates potential for a future addition to the series. I'm ready for the next mission!

I was provided a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my unbiased review. Many thanks for this opportunity!

Soldiers

This book wasn't what I thought it was going to be. The author was good and I will try more of his books.

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From rolling pastures in Lexington, KY to darkened alleyways in Newark, NJ, from Manhattan's posh '21' Club to a peculiar and mysterious landfill in Eastern Kentucky, and from Saratoga Springs, NY to the tiny island of St. Lucia, Shedrow portrays a collision of characters from many divergent worlds. High society and the racing elite, medical and veterinary specialists, mob figures, and Kentucky hill folk become entangled in this unique twist on the medical thriller.

Dr. Anthony Gianni, a prominent Manhattan surgeon, becomes involved in a racing partnership as a diversion from a thriving surgical practice and an ailing marriage. The excitement builds when the partnership acquires Chiefly Endeavor, a two-year-old colt with the breeding, the spirit, and enough early racing success to qualify for the Kentucky Derby.

When a new partner with an unsavory background appears and a breeder's nightmare becomes real, Dr. Gianni and a dedicated veterinarian must confront organized crime and solve a complex mystery that threatens to destroy both of their careers, and possibly a great deal more.

Any additional comments?

I liked the way the story flowed. I would recommend this book to friends as it is on the lines of a Grisham type novel. You were kept guessing as to who did it and why. I felt like the main character Anthony was honest and someone that I might like to know in real life.

Mr. Bray is an good narrator and I'm looking forward to listening to more of his work.

Publisher's Summary:

He loves his wife and daughter. He tolerates his day job. He lives to fish.

William Buckner has been competing in local bass fishing tournaments for years with very limited positive results (like so many anglers). He struggles with the fact that a handful of his fellow competitors always seem to finish near the top. Is it luck? Do they get secret, insider information? Are they using better equipment than he can afford?

Follow along behind the scenes of tournament bass fishing as the voice in this angler's head wrestles with highs and lows, unexpected dangers, true friendship, lies and scandals in pursuit of his personal best.

Personal Best: Fishing and Life is not a "how-to" manual, but instead an entertaining, fictional story, loaded with very real information that just might make you think about your approach to fishing and/or life.

Members Reviews:

If your into bass Fishing...

Good story with some valuable tools for a better mental game of fishing. Great tools for life as well.

Probably good read for aspiring tournament angler

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If my friend is an aspiring tournament angler.

What did you like best about this story?

The story of one man's dedication to improvement.

What does Kurt Mazurek bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Very good delivery of the story. Very listenable while driving.

Awesome Bass fishing fictional novel

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Any one who's into bass fishing or just fishing in general would love this book. It gave me a new perspective on ones mindset when fishing a tournament. How positive thinking and confidence can help change a bad situation into something great.

What other book might you compare Personal Best: Fishing and Life to and why?

I've looked for something similar and have yet to find. Mike Iaconelli's book was good. It gave you a look at his life and his fishing experiences, but it was a biography and not a written in the form of story. Granted a damn good biography.

What does Kurt Mazurek bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He wrote it so the guy knew how to present it and he did a damn good job at it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

nothing extreme. There was a couple people who really got under my skin. When William tells his wife about the results of the tournament I thought that was pretty emotional. Oh the wife Trixy has got to be fictional. Lets William go fishing in a tournament and cooks his favorite meal for him when he gets home.

Any additional comments?

I would love to read more fishing books like this. I've listened to it 3 times so far.

Publisher's Summary:

In college, Pia Santore dreamed of going to New York and taking the Big Apple by storm with her younger sister Erica. Instead, Pia has arrived in Astoria, Queens with a prestigious journalism internship at a celebrity magazine - and no Erica. Though the neighborhood has an abundance of appeal - including the delectable confections sold at her Aunt Antoniella's bakery - the pain of losing Erica a few years ago still feels fresh.

Pia's arrival coincides with an unexpected sighting. Italian movie icon Francesca Donata is rumored to be staying nearby, still every bit as voluptuous and divaesque as in her heyday. With the help of a handsome local artist with ties to Francesca's family, Pia convinces the legend to grant her a series of interviews, even traveling to her house in Rome.

In the Eternal City, Pia begins to unearth the truth behind the star's fabled romances and tangled past. And here too, where beauty and history mingle in every breathtaking view and hope shimmers in the Trevi Fountain and on the Spanish Steps, Pia gradually learns how to love and how to let go. For when in Rome, you may find your carrisima - your dearest one - and you may even find yourself.

very average

I found this book to be average chick lit. The characters were largely stereotypical, and old fashioned in their life view as well. 3 stars for some maturity in the plot line.

Publisher's Summary:

Dominique Richard's reputation says it all - wild past, wilder flavors, black leather and smoldering heat. Jaime Corey is hardly the first woman to be drawn to all that dark, delicious danger. Sitting in Dom's opulent chocolaterie in Paris day after day, she lets his decadent creations restore her weary body and spirit, understanding that the man himself is entirely beyond her grasp - until he touches her.

Chocolate, Dominique understands, from the biting tang of lime-caramel to the most complex infusions of jasmine, lemon-thyme, and cayenne. But this shy, freckled American who sits alone in his salon, quietly sampling his exquisite confections as if she can't get enough of them - enough of him - is something else. She has secrets too, he can tell. Of course if she really knew him, she would run. Yet once you have spotted your heart's true craving, simply looking is no longer enough.

Members Reviews:

The main plot was based on murky and fuzzy conversations between the couple. I skimmed a lot in the last half.

Jaime was beat up by some thugs and is recovering psychologically and physically. She is an heiress but keeps her name and money a secret. She believes she is unattractive and that men are only attracted to her money. Dom slept with many beautiful women before Jaime. So Jaime compares herself to them and feels lacking.

I wanted more plot. This was mostly internal angst about not feeling good enough for the other.

EXAMPLES OF CONFLICTS:

Jaime keeps her name and wealth a secret. After they are having a wonderful sexual relationship, she tells Dom she has money to live on if she needs it, but she doesnât say how much. Immediately he becomes angry thinking âShe was some kind of privileged princess...Crawling in the muck (with him - slumming).â

Jaime has a low self image and thinks âHow could she ask him to stick himself with a woman who couldnât rise above anything?â

Domâs father beat him and his mother. Dom fears he might become abusive like his father. He thinks heâs not perfect enough for her.

Dom says âI want you to promise never to leave me. But I wonât believe you if you (promise).â Jaime says âI want you to promise never to let me go. But itâs hard to believe I have the right.â

FOREIGN WORDS:

I was annoyed with so many French words that I did not understand. I wish the author put translations in italics or parentheses after them. She did that occasionally, but not with most. The most frequent French word was Putain. I looked it up in Google translate which said whore or prostitute. That didnât make sense since Dom frequently used it with Jaime. That would be an insult. I think it must be like the f-word or a swear word - not the Google definition. Hereâs one of his sentences. âThat sounds like a good place to start over. With only you. Putain, I would love to have a base like that.â

COVER PICTURE WRONG:

Dom has shaggy rebel black hair. Dom felt bigger than most men, oversized and clumsy. His hands were giant, hard laborerâs hands. The guy on the cover looks delicate and slim with neat short hair.

This is a funny and heartwarming book. I have read it twice and am sure I will read it again and again.
