In When, Daniel H. Pink explores the hidden science behind timing—not just what we do, but when we do it. He argues that timing is not an art, but a science, and understanding it can dramatically improve our performance, decision-making, and well-being. Drawing on research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink shows that our daily rhythms follow predictable patterns. Most people move through three phases during the day: 1. Peak – best for analytical work (usually in the morning), 2. Through - a mid-day slump, 3. Recovery – good for creative tasks (late afternoon/evening). He emphasizes that “when” matters just as much as “what” and “how.” For example, taking breaks at the right time can boost focus, and the timing of life events (like starting a new job, getting married, or switching careers) can influence their outcomes. He also explores “temporal landmarks”—special dates or events that give us a fresh start—and how they can be used to motivate change. Whether it's the beginning of a week, a birthday, or even a new year, these moments can reset our mindset and push us forward. In the end, when helps us rethink our schedules, habits, and life decisions through the lens of science-backed timing, so we can make smarter choices not just about what to do, but when to do it.

While I miss Stuart Woods, this author keeps his characters and story line.

Escape From A Video Game is a fun interactive book that plays out like a video game. It is really fun to read and I recommend this to anyone who likes interactive books where your choices impact the story. This book also has some humor with it.

Excellent memoir of adversity and letting go of an attachment to home, moving beyond guilt, and shedding shame. Tara could have easily fell into the life that her parents lived, but instead chose her own path despite how difficult it was to separate herself from her family, and ultimately losing them at the end.

I loved the selection series so much. It was the best!!!??

I could not put this book down! Very cleverly written in short chapter snapshots of each character in the story line. An enthralling mystery with a thriller bent. I could not figure out who did it! Also a good glimpse into different types of families and their pathways through life.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I stumbled upon this book while searching my library's mystery shelves. I am a big fan of the Gilded Age and this sounded like a good read. Pamela Thompson is used to living richly and spending her time volunteering at charities. Unfortunately, her husband has foolishly spent their fortune in a scam. Pamela and her husband lose everything. Then Pamela loses her husband, Jack. She then takes over a boardinghouse that is one of her investments since she and her ward Brenda can live there. Pamela becomes a store detective at Macy's. This was my favorite part of the book. I loved reading about her training with Harry, the store setting, all of the items for sale back then. Pamela goes on to become a compation to Lydia Jennings, a rich woman who thinks there is something amiss with her household finances, staff, etc. I also loved the friendship that forms with Pamela's attorney boss, Prescott. I struggled to figure out who the murderer was - which is always a fun thing for a reader. I love the constant guessing game while reading a good mystery book. I plan on reading the other books in this series because I really liked how strong Pamela became while remaining a lady in those times. (from my Goodreads review)

I loved how, even though Aurthor is super strong, he still has to get even stronger if he wants to protect himself and those he loves. This is because on a field trip to a dungeon while in Xyrus academy, he falls into the lower regions coming across one of the 6 strongest people in his continent who was currently dying. This just shows how much more he had to grow if he wanted to stop the Retainer, from another continent, who killed a Lance

Not as gripping as Cerulean Sea, but a lovely, almost cozy apocalyptic story

Loved it!
