A new sort of meditation (2 more)
Relaxing
Ambient
If you like the weird stuff...
A truly unique meditation app with an unusual concept; harnessing the energy bouncing around the universe through sound and focus. Very new-age (my partner laughed at it, and that's ok), but helps me to calm down and consider positive potential.

[Empire of Sin]by [Gary Krist] was an interesting account of the downfall of what I would have thought as the golden age of New Orleans. New Orleans was the last bastion of sin in the South during the Gilded Age in America. This was a time period when people were trying to live by Victorian standards and New Orleans went against them all. This was a war between cultures and depending who won, New Orleans was bound to be changed.
The book was well written. It started out really strong and the characters in the book were very colorful, more so knowing they were real people. This was a character driven non fiction which makes sense for New Orleans which had more than it's share. My only complaint was towards the end of the book [Krist] seemed to be quickly wrapping up some stories not giving the details that were present in the beginning.
I have recommended this book to quite a few people though. It was a much needed non-fiction fix.

Dreamland captures what it was like to be in the Guilded Age but not rich. He weaves the chracters within the setting of New York City and Coney Island just as a master would weave a tapestry. The combination of shirtwaist workers, gamblers, and gangsters makes this an enjoyable read. It can get a bit confusing but if you know anything about New York at this time life was always a bit confusing and harried.

If the Strokes had an English baby
I was really impressed when I first heard this album. I am a big lover of The Strokes, and honestly, it's so similar. Not in a way in which you could think they're copying, but you can hear a really strong influence on these new age rockers.

In a sweeping story based on the works of Dutch Golden Age painter Sarah van Baalbergen, Dominic Smith goes from 17th Century Holland, to mid-20th century New York and ends in 21st century Australia. Find out why I found this book so fascinating in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/04/28/landscapes-of-deception/
