So despite my disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for Bridgerton, I present you a review of An Offer from a Gentleman since I already read it. Plus, they no longer do a good job focusing on the hero and the heroine (as shown in season 2), so I don’t expect his season to be that great either. And Benedict will most likely NOT have the spotlight next season as they have switched up the order. To my disappointment, Netflix had hinted at neither the third novel nor Sophie. I wanted to be ready to recognize Sophie Beckett (Benedict’s future wife) when she showed up on the screen. I had read it before season 2 in hopes of being able to identify hints at Benedict’s upcoming love story. But I must write one more book review of the series, as I’ve already finished the third Bridgerton novel by Julia Quinn, An Offer from a Gentleman aka Benedict’s story. I know that I bid adieu to the Bridgerton series after watching season 2. ![]() ![]() When this DESIRE, or impulse of thought, first flashed into his mind he was in no position to act upon it. Observe, carefully, the description of how he went about translating his DESIRE into reality, and you will have a better understanding of the thirteen principles which lead to riches. He wanted to work with Edison, not for him. One of the chief characteristics of Barnes' Desire was that it was definite. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the great Edison. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects.Ī little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. ![]() THE MAN WHO "THOUGHT" HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this story, several young women go on a dating competition show that will put them through elaborate challenges as well as drunken catfights and confessionals in the hopes of winning the heart of a new person. Never Ever Getting Back Together, young-adult author Sophie Gonzales’ latest feminist, queer-positive spin on rom-com tropes, succeeds because it leans into the insanity that is the popularity of reality dating shows and that actually found a refreshing new approach to that staid format. Strangers are supposed to fawn-and fight-over these stars ostensibly because…they become convinced this person they’d never met until eight weeks ago is their soulmate? The thing that has always fascinated me about the Bachelor/ Bachelorette reality dating show mega-franchise is that the year’s titular lead is both the judge and the prize. ![]() ![]() ![]() We go from the clearest thing to the fuzziest thing. By “why,” I mean: What’s your purpose? What’s your cause? What’s your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care? Well, as a result, the way we think, the way we act, the way we communicate is from the outside in. And by “why” I don’t mean “to make a profit.” That’s a result.

Simon & Schuster.īob Woodward’s latest book on the presidency of Donald Trump, Rage, is a departure from its predecessor, Fear, in so far as it–perhaps surprisingly–was written with the cooperation of the president. The book is an impressive piece of contemporary history, yet Robert Ledger and Peter Finn find that it is sometimes hard to fully penetrate the rambling material garnered from the interviews with Trump. Drawing from 17 interviews Woodward secured with Trump, the book ends with a discussion of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() Rage by Washington Post veteran Bob Woodward documents the first three-and-a-half years of Donald Trump’s presidency. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() will enchant readers from the first page." - Kirkus Reviews "Hilarious.
