1. 5/5The political and the medical response to COVID-19 in USA

   This is an exceptional account of the American response to the COVID-19 Pandemia. It is an account to the facts that occurred from the beginning of the pandemia to the miracle of scientists developing a vaccine and hence the immunization of the population as the best strategy to stop the pandemia. It was a painful learning curve for all over the world, from the desperation of facing an unknown lethal infection, to the progress in learning its spread and how to control it; from facing a lethal infection in medical guards and hospitals, to accepting that only early intervention could lead to save thousands of lives. However, this is not a story of triumph, it is a desperate account on how the tragedy worsened in front of our eyes, while irresponsible decision- making politicians tried to ignore the evidence of what appeared as the most plausible actions to make and spread disinformation without scruples. Despite of the palpable public inefficiency, countless medical leaders and health professionals in USA worked against the official mandates, educated the population and local leaders, and contributed to the validation of the various vaccines that are none far from miracle technologies. Taking into account that some facts of the political and the medical response may not be entirely accurate, the narrative of this book still seems overall very accurate and consistent with my perception of what happened in more than the last 2 years since January 2020. Justice remains to be served, as it seems inconceivable that more than 1 million perished to COVID-19 in USA; with probably half of those deaths could have been spared with adoption of preventive measures already in place.

2. 5/5Love this new App! It is great to help my local Bookstore!

   I have enjoyed the app so far. I am anxious to see how they will succeed! I want local businesses to profit from booksellers too! The local businesses feature the authors and that increases sales too! They need to get some credit for all of the extra expenses they put out for promotions. I certainly appreciate all my local bookstore does in our community! They help our local community so much and they help literacy too! We need audiobooks to help with learning difficulties and other issues. So audiobooks are not just for lazy readers! They help with reading comprehension and memory issues. They also can assist with sight loss. They are helpful with Dyslexia and attention deficit disorder problems. I like them for relaxing and stress reduction. Mental health issues are often reduced while reading entertaining books and laughing is always great medicine! So audiobooks are great ways to pass the time when you have to wait in lines or in traffic. Don’t waste your time or your mind, READ!

3. 5/5Recommend as an alternative to less ethical options

   As an alternative it is fairly solid and their ethics seem to be good so I would recommend the platform to those seeking an ethical option. There are a few drawbacks that hopefully will be addressed. As of now, the app does not offer background play which is problematic for an audio medium. When listening you cannot browse the catalog which is also very limiting. Many publishers seem not to work with the platform right now so the selection is more limited than ideal. Currently new users get 3 free credits which is a nice deal, but not enough is available for credit purchase. I think the app could use some serious improvement in areas most other apps are capable. This would make it a more formidable competitor, but for the sake of a company just being decent and seemingly moral? Rare enough to give it 5 stars.

4. 5/5While You Were Out

   I have just finished this remarkable memoir of life in the Irish Catholic Kissinger family, read by author Meg Kissinger. This is the first audio book experience for me and I am absolutely going to continue this format for enjoying the great stories that are available. Listening to Meg’s compilation of her family’s trials, tribulations, tragedies as well as love, care, compassion and loyalty in her own Milwaukee- accented voice was especially meaningful for me. There is humor mixed with horror as a mom and dad struggle with their own mental illness while raising 8 children. Throughout their lives, love and loyalty allow 6 of the children to survive the traumas/illness that they endured growing up. I highly recommend this well written book with its many lessons and information about mental illness. Great read (listen) for someone who falls asleep with paper copies! Janice Julius

5. 2/5Only the mission is worth it

   Love the mission and I’ll continue using the app just to support local bookstores alone. However, the app doesn’t offer much functionality for searching or accessing your account, and often leaves me confused. The FAQ instructions say you can pick a specific bookstore to support ‘at anytime by going to your account’ but I still cannot figure out how to do that from ‘my account’ on the app. It might only be an option from a computer, but either way the instructions are not clear, not helpful, and frustrating. The search function also needs to be improved. I cannot seem to search within the app for available books, regardless of if you can purchase through the app. For example, even just a search of ‘p’ returns zero results with the app, which I find hard to believe is accurate (do no you have no authors with a name starting with P? No titles starting with P?). This makes it a lot harder to recommend and actually get other people to switch over, who might not be as altruistic.
