♥ Story ♥

I actually had already purchased this title in ebook format through the kindle store. It was and currently still is free. I was happy to see this come up through the AudiobookBoom program. I can now how the audio to go with my kindle edition! It’s nice to have someone read to you, but you are going to want to pick up the ebook version too for all the references, links, as well as a convenient place to make and store notes.

How I Sold 80,000 Books is full of information that I will definitely be putting to use when I get the courage to publish my own stories! The meat and potatoes of this book focus on what the author refers to as ‘the four Ps’, Product, Place, Price and Promotion. Each ‘P’ is covered in detail as well as speaking of how they can and often do overlap.

There is sound advice and incites to be learned from this title for sure. I don’t know how many books you will sale after you listen or read this title, but you will have a better understanding of what more you could be doing to help with your bottom line.

Audio Sample from Audible

♥ Author ♥

This is my 1st read/listen by Alinka Rutkowska. This is her only audio title, but what a good one. She writes this non-fiction title in a somewhat informal manner as if she is speaking directly to you. It makes you feel as if she is giving you advice as opposed to teaching a class.
Alinka has 01 titles listed on Audible.

♥ Narrator(s) ♥

This is my 1st listen by Nikki Delgado. She has an accent, which I like, but can be a turn-off to others. She completly captures the author’s informal style. The production speed seemed a bit too fast to me, but an edit to 0.90 in Audible’s handy narration speed tool fixed it right up.

Non-Fiction Read: Submissive Training: Read by Anneliese Rennie

7 November 2017 / Non-Fiction Reads 📓, Reviews / , , , ,

My ReviewsGreat introduction to the Dom/Sub life.

This is a Non-Fiction title.

Read by Anneliese Rennie

Length: 1 hr and 49 mins

Lots of good information packed into this short listen on the Dominant and Submissive lifestyle, with emphasis on the Sub.

Audible Excerpt: Submissive Training

♥ Story ♥

Submissive Training introduces you to all the categories of the Dominant and Submissive relationship, and yes, there is more than one way to play. Most people tend to equate the Dom/Sub life to one way of doing things, but there is more than just safe words, hand cuffs, and spankings. I know it expanded my comprehension, and I knew a lot more than the average joe from all my years of reading romance and erotica. There are more than likely way more variations than are covered in this audiobook, but it will get you off on the right foot if this is something you are honestly wanting to learn about.

I would say that Submissive Training is aimed more at women than men, but that it could be used by any gender that is wanting to be on the Submission side of a Dom/Sub couple.

Non-Fiction Read: Success and Luck by John S. Lawson

3 October 2017 / Non-Fiction Reads 📓 / , ,

My ReviewsGreat introduction to habits.

This is a Non-Fiction title.

Length: 1 hr and 9 mins

It’s a great introduction to habits, and suggestions on how to break them.

♥ Story ♥

This title is more of an introduction than it is a full length in-depth instructions. Its short and to the point with little fluff, so worth it if you want the basics.

I give it props for pointing out the difference between what is a habit and what might be a more complex condition that one might need to seek professional help for.

♥ Author ♥

John S. Lawson is new to the market, with only a handful of titles to his name and all of which published this year. This title was a good collection of information so I would be interested in his other titles.
John has 03 titles listed on Audible.

♥ Narrator(s) ♥

Harry Roger Williams III does excellent narration for this Non-Fiction title. He speak very clearly and with authority of subject. I would of thought him the writer.
Harry has 59 titles listed on Audible. All of which are Non-Fiction.

Non-Fiction Reads: Game of Thrones: Prophecies and Dreams

8 September 2017 / Non-Fiction Reads 📓 / , , , ,

My Reviews
A lot of tidbit you won’t see on TV!

If you download the ebook, which is free for Kindle Unlimited members, it has a note that states that the book is constantly updated, so the audio and print may not match up.

The audio does not cover the last 13 episodes of the series which are being split into two seasons. The first half just concluded and the second half will play out next year.

The audio covers all that has happened so far in both the books and the television show. (see note above) The TV show is ahead time-line wise of the books, as Mr. Martin has deadline issues. There are still 2 more books due in the series.

This is a review of the various prophecies and dreams within the world of The Game Of Thrones as well as the books the show is based on. Many of these are not covered on the show as there is just not enough time to cover it all. The show-runners for GOT have expressed their desire to try and stay close to the over-all themes and stories from the books, so the unseen foreshadowing from the book should still hold true for the show as it does in the books.

There are some specific visions shown to Daney that I find most curious! Plus the most delectable one told to Cerci having to do with her being murdered by her younger brother! In her arrogance she has seemed to have forgotten that Jamie is actually her younger brother too! Even though I knew this already, I still like hearing about her demise because I really hate her.

Leanne Yau presents the information in a clear and precise manner. She is very easy to understand as well as being pleasant to listen to.

I give this a 5 for what it is, but also want to put a warning out there for those that are just starting the series either in print or TV, there will be spoilers.

Good info for catching up on things!

If you download the ebook, which is free for Kindle Unlimited members, it has a note that states that the book is constantly updated, so the audio and print may not match up.

The audio does not cover the last episodes of the series which are being split into two seasons. The first half just concluded and the second half will play out next year.

The audio covers all that has happened with the White Walkers so far in both the books and the television show. The TV show is ahead time-line wise of the books, as Mr. Martin has deadline issues. There are still 2 more books due in the series.

This is a good catch up on things you may of missed so far as well as a nice refresher for before the season of the show starts. It also covers some theories and speculations, that as a fan, you know you have.

Leanne Yau does an excellent job of narrating this Non-Fiction read about a Fiction series. She presents the information in a clear and precise manner.
