In the process she faces the ghosts of her past, and wreaks a havoc that provides a most satisfying revenge. But small towns are strange places, where vanity rules and, once again reviled, she sets out to teach the town a lesson. At first ostracised, the townspeople gradually accept her in order to make use of her extraordinary dressmaking skills and at last, Tilly feels that she might have found home. ![]() But none of these can compare to the sin of Tilly and her mother: to have come from somewhere else. Dungatar is a small country town, where the townspeople's eccentricities are many and varied - from Sergeant Farrat's predilection for cross-dressing, to pharmacist Almanac's retributive scheme of potion dispensing, not to forget the affairs and assorted dark secrets. After twenty years away, Myrtle "Tilly" Dunnage returns to Dungatar. ![]()

In Johannesburg, Mandela trained to be a lawyer. ![]() ![]() As a child, he was destined to become a royal advisor, but the allure of the big city, Johannesburg, drew him to a life of political activism.

You feel like you've lived in Liverpool and especially Hamburg. Brilliantly narrated, complete with impersonating each Beatle, you get a feeling at the end that you know each and every personality in their rise. I have always wondered why they still appeal after 50 years, and within this book you begin understand why and how they broke off the shackles of the London music industry and literally did change everything and did it there way. It might only appeal to Beatles geeks like me but this is one book to have in your library, I have also ordered the book. This is 43 hours long and is only part 1, so take it in your stride and enjoy. It has been 10 or more years in the making and this is the definitive story. ![]() I've been a Beatles nut since when I woke up to that news, and asked my mum as a 13 yr old, 'who's John Lennon'? Since then I've learnt their songs as a musician, read more books on them than I can remember, and thought that I was an authority on them, but not until now and listening to this story. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments A charmed life by jenny b jones![]() ![]() Ruthie was personally my favorite sidekick. Besides Bella dealing with her dad, we also had other side characters dealing with issues like being yourself, doubt, bullying, etc. I felt Bella represented the series as a whole: the funny (for the most part) balanced with the more serious (sometimes the humor overwhelmingly so- I’ll address that later). Of course, Bella wasn’t all fun and games she had issues that she had to deal with, like issues with her father and feelings of abandonment. She was an absolute delight to get to know, and her witty sass kept me laughing aloud throughout the series. I think the best way to describe Bella is that she's the teenager version of Junie B (if Junie B's parents were famous celebrities, that is). Characters: Entertaining, lively, and full of joy and spunk ) (most of 'em anyways). I'm once again going to shoot for that brevity! I've decided to do this review in bullet form to see if that’ll help. I absolutely loved this series! It was so much fun, especially with Bella's sassy voice narrating everything-and not to mention Luke. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Cress novel![]() ![]() Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she'd ever expected. ![]() When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Unfortunately, she's being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

Yesterday you saw my review of Winter, the final book in Marissa Meyer’s epic The Lunar Chronicles series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead of offering the 25,000 SKUs available in a traditional supermarket, Aldi opts for 2000 SKUs, allowing them to focus more on quality and price competitiveness. ![]() By balancing the scale and quantity of the offer, retailers can ensure customers have an enjoyable shopping experience without becoming overwhelmed.Īldi is an example of a retailer that has embraced this approach. This could involve introducing an essential range, covering the most important product categories while leaving space for more unusual or niche products. However, retailers can address this paradox of choice by providing a carefully curated selection that still offers customers enough variety. This can be particularly prevalent in online offerings, where customers must take the time to scan through pages of similar products before making a purchase decision. But choice is a paradox – too much overwhelms consumers and too little limits a brand’s market appeal.Īs consumers seek to simplify their lives and buying decisions, too much choice can create confusion, leading to reduced engagement with the brand. We often assume that more choice is better. ![]() |
