A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper... And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

A Little Prince is a wonderful story of a young boy who finds himself on earth. It is a beautiful reminder to adults about what is more important in life. The reader was wonderful and I am aiming to review this story once a month for the message shared is essential.

Although I am a Castle fan the book was just okay to me. It felt too similar to the show (I guess that's what I should have expected.) But save your money and just purchase another episode of Castle.

A new Jeeves audiobook is cause for celebration, especially when the stories are not available in print. This hilarious installment of the inimitable manservant Jeeves and his twit of an employer, Bertie Wooster, includes the earliest stories written by the master of the pen, prank, and pun. The stories are woven together with original material performed by Martin Jarvis.

A quick and delightful read. It was one that can be listened to several times because of the simple yet entertaining stories told.

Listen to this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. You'll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you.

Story

I really enjoyed this introduction to reading body language. I was worried that it would review things that would be common sense knowledge about body language (since I have seen every episode of Lie to Me, I felt somewhat knowledgeable, haha) but Navarro goes above and beyond the basics of body language.

He talks about what part of our body is the most honest and the answer is quite surprising. Even though he is a former FBI agent, he wants people to know basic body language to learn to help make people feel more comfortable in our presence.

All in all an interesting read with pictures included. Bonus!

J.M. Barrie + Jim Dale equals a truly delightful read. The story of Peter Pan is one for children and adults alike. The way Jim Dale read it brought the story even more to life and it left me wanting more. The way Barrie included himself as a character in this book is so fun and an enjoyable way to tell a story!

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

Story

Jim Dale is a personal hero of mine which is why I originally downloaded this audiobook. Not only did I love his style of reading, but the story was enchanting. I found myself eager to finish it and have continually thought about it since.

There are some gaps in the story line, but I would say that adds to the "dream-likeness" of the story.

Truly an enjoyable read.
