Fun, interesting and irreverent look at cycling.

G Force.

Publisher's Summary:

Wildflower is a portrait of Drew's life in stories as she looks back on the adventures, challenges and incredible experiences of her earlier years.

It includes tales of living on her own at 14 (and how laundry may have saved her life), getting stuck in a gas station overhang on a cross country road trip, saying good-bye to her father in a way only he could have understood and many more adventures and lessons that have led her to the successful, happy and healthy place she is today.

It is the first book Drew has written about her life since the age of 14.

Members Reviews:

Drew is my new BFF

I LOVED this book! Why? Because it's honest , hilarious, real, interesting, inspiring and so wise. The best part was having Drew narrate it. I am a mother of 5 in her early 40's but I feel that this book is for everyone, maybe particularly for us girls. I shared it with my 15 year old daughter and she also loved it too. This one is definitely going under the tree to all my girlies so that they can get inspired to love and live life to the full.

SistaSoph

Too self indulgent

Drew can be endearing but at times but rather annoying talking about her privileged life and the occasional screams throughout her performance (a little 'over acted')

Found the whole thing a little too self indulgent personally but did love how she talked about her daughters and what parenting means to her.

Inspiring

I totally loved listening to this book and fell in love with Drew, the way she reads it is colourful and inspiring, I love the way that all her misfortunes in her early life have given her the strengths to get to where she is today a bit like me as I am the same age! I'm so glad she got her happy ending!

Didn't want this book to end!

Compelling. Wonderful. Beautiful and fun!

This book made me smile, cry and laugh. Thank you for sharing your life stories.

Excellent

Easy to listen to. Fascinating and very real, down to earth insight into Drew Barrymore

Extraordinary Life of Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard is bold, both spiritually and on the court, making him my favorite NBA player of all time.

He has lived an extraordinary life being drafted number 1 by Orlando Magic right out of high school to venturing into a number of charitable works over the years. He is an inspiration to many children, sport fans and Christians alike so was naturally drawn towards the story within.

The author kindly provided a treasure trove depicting Dwightâs personal and professional life, his career milestones and much more. I highly recommend the read for those compelled to draw upon the details of this extraordinary man dubbed âSupermanâ.

Loved it

So much information about Dwight and how he is caring to others. Really details all of the facts in the book.

Members Reviews:

Three Stars

Ok

A mediocre attempt at self-publishing

Please look elsewhere for books on Kershaw. I'd recommend his autobiography rather than this. This book is more like a junior high research paper with a few pictures. I don't recommend that anyone buy this book. You'll be disappointed. I'd ask for a refund, but the process is too much of a pain to send the book back.

Kindle format maybe, Paperback format NOT!

I was disappointed with the quality( or lack there of). As I was reading through (what is actually a pamphlet), rather than a book, that too many topics were introduced without any "meat" to any one of the topics. I may have been okay spending $2.99 on the Kindle format, but the $7.99 that I paid for the paperback was a waste of money.

Good reading for Dodger fans, I would have loved to hear more about his earlier years growing up and more about Ellen. All in Al

I would recommend this book.

A tribute to a guy who gives so much to entities and people outside baseball.He and Ellen are just one of a kind. wonderful givers as well as human beings !

Title: Donut Dolly: An American Red Cross Girl's War in Vietnam

Subtitle: North Texas Military Biography and Memoir Series

Author: Joann Puffer Kotcher

Narrator: Beverly Ann Astley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-15

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Donut Dolly puts you in the Vietnam War face down in the dirt under a sniper attack, inside a helicopter being struck by lightning, at dinner next to a commanding general, and slogging through the mud along a line of foxholes. You see the war through the eyes of one of the first women officially allowed in the combat zone.

When Joann Puffer Kotcher left for Vietnam in 1966, she was fresh out of the University of Michigan with a year of teaching and a year as an American Red Cross Donut Dolly in Korea. All she wanted was to go someplace exciting. In Vietnam she visited troops from the Central Highlands to the Mekong Delta, from the South China Sea to the Cambodian border. At four duty stations, she set up recreation centers and made mobile visits wherever commanders requested. That included Special Forces teams in remote combat zone jungles.

Donut Dolly is Kotcher's personal view of the war, recorded in a journal kept during her tour, day by day as she experienced it. It is a faithful representation of the twists and turns of the turbulent, controversial time. While in Vietnam Kotcher was once abducted; dodged an ambush in the Delta; talked with a true war hero in a hospital who had charged a machine gun; and had a conversation with a prostitute. A rare account of an American Red Cross volunteer in Vietnam, Donut Dolly will appeal to those interested in the Vietnam War, to those who have interest in the military, and to women aspiring to go beyond the ordinary.

Branson Stars and Flags Award, 2012.

Editorial Reviews:

"Donut Dolly is an engaging and useful account of an almost totally ignored facet of the Vietnam War. Kotcher and her colleagues attempted to make life more bearable for the soldiers and airmen engaged in the war, and along the way, her insights are fascinating." (G. L. Seligmann, coeditor of The Sweep of American History)

Members Reviews:

doughnuts Vietnam War

I personally never actually spoke to the donut dolly always really wondered why they were there this book is very enlightening to me I was stationed in Anka Kaye Vietnam so I have some knowledge of what wnt on in the area.

god bless america yeah right

This is an interesting story about one woman's service in Vietnam. Unfortunately excessively patriotic at least as far as I'm concerned though understandable bearing in mind the author's role was pseudo military. If you recall the British comedy telebision series from the mid seventies 'It Ain't Half Hot mu' well this is similar in that the Red Cross girls provided distractions for the serving soldiers in vietnam and entertainment for them. The narator though was disappointing. It sounded like a synthesizer was doing the work and the microphone was not of the best quality. it sounded as if the reader was virtually swallowing it. Still if you can get over that it's worth a read I think. If you like personal acounts you'll like this one.

Title: Free Love and the Sexual Revolution: Finding Yourself by Removing Sexual Boundaries

Author: Barbara Williamson

Narrator: Harley Reese

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-03-15

Publisher: Barbara Williamson

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

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 clothing-optional, alternate-lifestyle Sandstone Retreat was outrageously popular, with a membership reaching 500 and nearly 8,000 visitors. Long before today's reality television inundated the airwaves with its media personalities, Barbara and John Williamson were the darlings of the media, with newspapers, magazines, books, movies, and television shows clamoring for interviews.

University professors nationwide rushed to visit this new kind of unstructured free love community to view and study members joyously living an alternate lifestyle. The dress code was optional but almost everyone preferred nudity.

Based on mutual trust and friendship, the bond between John and Barbara grew so strong that they were inseparable for 47 years until his death.

Members Reviews:

The story of a successful OPEN and loving marriage

Id 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 Williamsons 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 theyd need more than just each other to fulfil their sexual needs, but knew they wouldnt 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 Williamsons 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.

Title: ME ME ME

Author: Charlotte Crosby

Narrator: Charlie Sanderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-30-15

Publisher: Headline Digital

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

The quirky autobiography of Charlotte Crosby - Celebrity Big Brother winner, fitness DVD best seller, and Geordie Shore's best loved and funniest star.

Charlotte Crosby has been one of the UK's best-loved TV stars since she burst onto the celeb scene in 2011 with Geordie Shore.

Laugh-out-loud hilarious, genuine, and a proper Geordie, Charlotte's popularity has even seen her crowned winner of 2013's Celebrity Big Brother. With her trademark humour and warmth, in ME ME ME Charlotte takes us on a very unique journey through her eventful teenage years (where literally nothing is off limits!), her attempts at holding down jobs (and booze), the life-changing experience of Geordie Shore, the truth about Gaz and his parsnip, and her inspiring weight-loss triumph.

This will be unlike any other celebrity autobiography on the market.

Extremely personal, insanely honest and pant-wettingly funny.

Members Reviews:

Never laughed so hard!

Charlotte Crosby's new book is hilarious. She has such a dirty, funny mind and has a careless attitude. From her funny childhood stories, to her dramatic Geordie tales, the book can take you on an emotional rollercoaster.

Very honest

good read when i was on holiday.going to get the new one now...like her even more now.

Easy listening

Was an easy going audiobook on the whole. I like Charlotte Crosby so appreciate her in general, her behaviour & childlike jokes etc

The only thing that griped me was the narrator putting on a Charlotte voice which developed throughout! Dont get me wrong, she sounds very similar but it was a bit too put on and fake, so was a little grating. I find it a shame that most reality tv celebs cant be bothered to narrate their own audio books tbh but like I said, was a nice little journey of how shes grown up with Geordie Shore and really easy going listening wise.

brilliant!!

so funny and stayed true to who she is! admire her so much! never change. inspo!

Light and Fluffy

Is there anything you would change about this book?

nothing really, it tells her story so it does its job

What didnt you like about Charlie Sandersons performance?

i found she tried a little too hard to speak like Charlotte, it wasnt relaxing to listen to at all.

Language: English

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Learn the incredible story of Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers!

In Aaron Rodgers: The Inspiring Story of One of Football's Greatest Quarterbacks, you'll hear the inspirational story of football's star, Aaron Rodgers. This short, unauthorized biography of Aaron Rodgers highlights the greatest moments of his career since starting in the league as the backup to the great Brett Favre. Aaron Rodgers remains one of the most effective quarterbacks to play professional football and an inspiring leader for the Packers. In this book, we'll explore Aaron Rodgers' journey to the NFL as well as his impact on the game.

Here is a preview of what is included in this book:

Members Reviews:

Unauthorized Autobiography of Aaron Rodgers

One of my best friends is a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers and for our recent book club they begged and pleaded that we read a book focusing on the football team they love. After searching around we all eventually settled on this autobiography of Aaron Rodgers. About half of the book club isn't interested in football, and the other half is. But we all agreed that this book was definitely well-written and very informative.

This is an unauthorized autobiography, but that didn't prohibit it from being very thorough. In fact all of us were very impressed with how detail-oriented the book was. Even my friend, who is ridiculously well informed on all aspects of the Green Bay Packers, learned some things in this book. The book covers all aspects of Aaron Rodgers life starting at early adulthood and going all the way to his professional career in the NFL. I always love learning about the humble beginnings of people who grow into some of the most idolized sports stars in history, and the fact that this book covered his childhood, early years, and teen years really interested me. I didn't know a lot about Aaron Rodgers going into this book (aside from the fact he was a pro NFL player), but after reading it I feel like I've definitely gained a lot of respect for him, his life, and his talent.

The book does a great job of covering all aspects of Aaron Rodger's NFL career- which was something that my friend was ready to scrutinize (because they, themselves, were a huge fan of Aaron Rodgers and felt they may have more information than the book could offer). With that being said, the book provided so much information on Aaron's time playing for the Green Bay Packers that my friend really had no additional info to add. THAT says a lot about how thorough this book is. And I was impressed.

One of my favorite chapters delved pretty deeply into Aaron Rodgers and his religion. In fact that was one of the most discussed parts of the book by my book club. It just brought up a lot of really interesting points about our societal expectations for 'celebrities', and it was really interesting to read an autobiographical view on Aaron Rodgers and his faith.

Overall, this book was very thorough, easy to read, easy to follow, and definitely left every single member of the book club way more informed on the life of the very interesting Aaron Rodgers. If you're a Green Bay Packer's fan, a NFL fan, a sports trivia fanatic, or just interested in learning something new- I definitely recommend this book.

Not so deep

Being a packet fan, I was hoping for a little more from this book.

Down the Rabbit Hole is the memoir of former Hugh Hefner girlfriend and former star of The Girls Next Door, Holly Madison. By 2002 Holly was Hugh Hefner's girlfriend at the Playboy Mansion, but she felt that she had sold her soul for a piece of fame. She was miserable, even borderline suicidal, as she played the role of girlfriend to a demanding tycoon old enough to be her grandfather. Life inside the mansion turned out to be toxic, as Hefner's seven live-in girlfriends clawed at each other. Holly knew Hefner would just replace her with another blonde if she did kill herself. She decided to stay alive so she could tell her story someday.

When nine-year-old Holly Madison got a set of Marilyn Monroe paper dolls for Christmas, she began fantasizing about Marilyn's glamorous life. Growing up in Alaska and Oregon, she never fit in with the other small-town kids, who were obsessed with sports and video games. Instead Holly watched Marilyn's movies and fantasized about Hollywood....

Horrible

She does not take any accountability for her actions. Plays victim instead.

This book was such a disappointment I could not bear to get through it
