Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Front Seat - Single by Talii in Music

Jun 18, 2019

Talii is a singer-songwriter based in Orlando, Florida. Not too long ago, she released a lyric video for her tropical pop tune, entitled, “Front Seat”.

“I don’t think we ever met in this lifetime but my soul knows you. I don’t recognize you with my eyes but I think I’m starting to. You reflect the best of me, make me wanna give my all to you. I’m tryna get to know you better.” – lyrics

‘Front Seat’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who courageously decides to take the lead in her life.

Apparently, she looks within herself for guidance and gets in tune with her soul. Later, she admits, she’s becoming somebody and starting to remember who she truly is.

‘Front Seat’ contains an adorable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and rhythmic instrumentation flavored with tropical, R&B, and dancehall elements.

“The title refers to moving your ego out of the driver’s seat and allowing your true self to take the wheel. It’s a representation of appreciating and loving the person I’m becoming. It reflects my growth and evolution not only musically but within my life overall.” – Talii via Billboard

Gravity Is The Thing is such a lovely, heartwarming book. The main character, Abigail, has had her fair share of grief and hard times already in her life. When she is given the opportunity to go on a retreat connected to ‘The Guidebook’ that she has been receiving chapters of since she was a teenager, Abigail jumps at the chance. When she is selected to be one of the few chosen from a large group to find out the true meaning of The Guidebook, she is stunned at the big reveal. As are the other chosen few. They all leave, feeling disillusioned. But when the course leader, Wilbur, phones her, apologises, and asks if she’ll come to the weekly classes near to where she lives, she agrees. We learn much more about the participants, and Abigail in particular. She’s a single mum who runs her own business, and she works hard.

This was a gorgeous book. It made me laugh and cry, and made me think about my own life as well. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Mistress of My Fate; The Confessions of Henrietta Lightfoot in Books

Dec 21, 2018

Hallie Rubenhold's foray into the world of historical fiction brings us to Henrietta Lightfoot and the first volume of her memoirs. I confess that I didn't realise that this was the first book in a planned series and felt a bit frustrated at the end of the book as there were many unresolved questions I was dying to know the answer to!

Books written in the first person can sometimes feel a bit contrived, but that wasn't a problem here at all. An older Henrietta relates the 'true' story of her life, evidently in answer to some untruths put about by a character we have yet to properly meet in this first volume; I'm sure all will become apparent later on!

Many of the characters who weave their way through Rubenhold's tale are actually real, historical figures. Even her fictional characters owe something to the real life experiences of other Georgian inhabitants. This certainly isn't prettified historical fiction; we follow the initially very naive Henrietta through her ups and downs. The main action of the novel takes place over the space of about a year, when Henrietta is still only 17. I look forward to the next instalment!
