This was an interesting story. Different from my normal reads but entertaining enough to hold my attention. This one kept my emotions running in all sorts of directions. I was never sure what was going to happen next and it hit on a lot of yoga information. Either the author did a lot of research or really enjoys yoga because she seemed to know what she was talking about. It was a lot of fun to read and I enjoyed it

this is the third book in. this series by this author. This book carries straight on from book two. All these books must be read in order they are not stand alone reads. This book is definitely hot. This author definitely knows how to pack a lot into these short stories. Amazing characters with and amazing plot. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Mrs. Pollifax heads to China to find out the location of a forced labor camp so the CIA can free a political prisoner. As much as I love the series, this is a disappointment. It reads more like a travelogue for too much of the book, which doesn't give the plot enough time when it is finally tries to go somewhere.

Okay, this book is easily taking my best of the year humor & biography. Anna Kendrick wrote this book just like she tweets. It's hilarious and extremely entertaining.

I listened to the audiobook and I was not disappointed. Anna Kendrick reads it herself and is just amazing. He stories were thought provoking, humorous, a tad embarrassing, and just a great read.

If you're looking for a great audiobook/book, this is for you. I was laughing constantly and I could not put it down.

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

"Former President Carter has been an idol of mine my whole life. I chose the ‘White House Diary,’ because he is so detailed, nuanced and candid about his time in office that it actually reads like you accidentally stumbled upon your teenaged son’s incredibly and shockingly advanced diary while he is at school—except your teenage is son is former President Jimmy Carter and he was 86 years old when he wrote this book. You are going to be so proud of him"
