Another wonderful book from Michael J. Sullivan. I love reading tales of Hadrian and Royce. Learning more about Gwen is a treat. This time we also learn how Hilfrid became Arista's bodyguard. I just want more, as usual!

It is a book that brings me peace when I read it. Learning about the life in Botswana and this bright woman that is achieving the things she believes in is just so inspiring and amusing! Great book!
  
I enjoyed all three stories in this book. I was with emotional though out the book. The first book is about learning to deal with death of a love one and learn to get though your marriage struggles of your marriage that you when though.

The second book talks about depression and a bit about marriage struggles. This book also talks about telling the truth and adoption. This is quite a story and about foster care as well.

The third story is about death as well and learning to trusting in good.

"Inspiration exists in unlikely places. Like with Bruce Deel, it was an honor to publish Summer’s book. Who knew that by learning how to take care of plants better, we could learn to take care of each other better?"

"I’ve never looked a spider web the same since reading this during my formative years. The tender friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur has remained with me and it serves as an important lesson about loss and learning to let go."

This is a pretty good app to use for beginning the study of a new language. I used it to help me with Japanese. The great thing about this app is that it encourages you to think for yourself more than other apps I've used. Because Japanese follows a different syntax order than English, you have to put in the words individually therefore you have to remember the sentence order. This is more beneficial than other apps where they just let you memorise a sentence and that's it. It's more active learning than passive. Plus, you can speak and the activities are varies so you do not get bored.

You can even join clubs and compete with other players to motivate you. There is a daily goal so you can see what streak you are on and you can also earn badges to keep you feeling encouraged.


However, there is only one course per language as far as I can tell so it is mainly beneficial for those who have just started learning a language. Once you finish that course, that's it. (From what I can see). You can either learn the basics of other languages or take your learning elsewhere.
