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

Amazing book! Would recommend.

In To Sell Is Human, Daniel H. Pink challenges the traditional view of sales as something only used by pushy professionals with quotas to meet. He argues that in today’s world, we’re all in sales, which I truly agree with, whether we realize it or not. Whether you’re a teacher persuading students, a parent guiding a child, or an entrepreneur pitching an idea, you’re constantly trying to move others. He introduces a new framework for effective selling, replacing the old “Always Be Closing” mindset with “Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity.” These qualities help us connect with others, stay resilient through rejection, and make complex ideas easier to understand. He also redefines the idea of pitching, offering creative alternatives like the one-word pitch or the Pixar pitch to match today’s fast-paced, attention-limited world. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that the best kind of selling isn’t about tricking people—it’s about serving them. If what you’re offering genuinely helps, and you present it with empathy and purpose, then selling becomes a human act, not a manipulative one.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. This is the first book in the series An American in Paris. I read the third book the other day and am starting the second book tomorrow. I really loved the third book and loved this one as well. I especially liked learning more about Tabitha's arrival in Paris, her reactions to Paris, her first meeting with Julia, etc. The descriptions of Paris were wonderful - I can easily imagine the cream colored buildings with black railings. Tabitha learns a woman has been found dead in the cellar of Julia's building and proceeds to enter the cellar in hopes of helping to discover what happened. Since her father is a cop and she's always read mystery books, she thinks she may be helpful. The local inspector heartily disagrees with her. I loved their interactions and how clearly Ms. Cambridge describes his facial expressions while dealing with Tabitha. I also loved her Grand-pere and Oncle Rafe as well as the pets. Her lack of cooking skills made me laugh and reading a character that is supposed to be Julia Child was fun as well. I'm excited to read the second book. (from my Goodreads review)

This was an excellent ending to a series I've been reading for 8 years! I loved being reunited with these characters one last time and everyone's story ended in the way I thought it should have. I cried, it was adventurous and bizarre, and 830 pages flew by!

I enjoy Sepetys books. She always does a nice job weaving history into her stories and this one is no different. It offers an interesting glimpse into life in New Orleans in 1950.

AMAZING BOOK, 100 STARS!!!! Just read it! It’s awesome. This book consists of 2 novellas about a SecUnit, who calls itself Murderbot. This book is awesome read the entire series!

Very Interesting

After reading ACOTAR series I was excited for this series, and like always Sarah J Mass didn’t disappoint. It was LONG and a little slow at first but wow what a great second half. Bryce and Hunt together really drove the story as I was cheering for them the whole time. Loved it!

Interesting modernized new twist on such a classic thing like cooking. Brewer dives deep into the science behind the WHY of cooking.
