Category:  Adult Non-fiction 18 yrs +,  328 pages
Genre:  History / Cultural & Technical History
Publisher:  Morgan James Publishing
Release date:   May 26, 2020
Content Rating:  G : This is a non-fiction book about our technical history and how it has shaped our culture.

Book Description:

Every twenty years a new generation rises, but who and what defines these generations? And could current generational tags mislead and miss the point? In this insightful analysis of technology history since 1900, Dr. Rick Chromey offers a fresh perspective for understanding what makes a generation tick and differ from others. Within GenTech, readers learn how every generation uniquely interacts with particular technologies that define historical temperament and personality and why current generational labels are more fluid than fixed, and more loopy than linear. Consequently, three major generational constellations emerge, each containing four, twenty-year generations that overlap, merge, and blend:

• The Audio Generations (1900-1950): Transportation-Telephone Generation (1900-1920), Motion Picture Generation (1910-1930), Radio Generation (1920-1940), Vinyl Record Generation (1930-1950)
• The Visual Generations (1940-1990): Television Generation (1940-1960), Space Generation (1950-1970), Gamer Generation (1960-1980) and Cable Television Generation (1970-1990)
• The Digital Generations (1980-2000): Personal Computer-Cell Phone Generation (1980-2000), Net Generation (1990-2010), iTech Generation (2000-2020), and Robotics Generation (2010-2030). Dive in and revel in this exciting, compelling, and novel perspective to understanding recent American generations with GenTech. 

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

An exceptional book about technology and history

Reading this book is so much fun and entertaining. It likes looking back at old times and what we accomplished in the future. The book is so educational. There is so many facts to learn about history. It makes me so happy to learn about the past and move on. This book is like going back to memory lane.

Being born in the year 1973 in a different country which is nothing compared to America makes me proud of what I become speaking of learning technologies. Those were the days when everything is slow but beautiful. Nowadays, catching up and learning new stuff from my kids is even more fun. The TikTok and Xbox game is common in our household. Kids nowadays are into technology while me growing up is more about hands-on games that does not include electricity.

We live in a modern world where everything is complex yet inspiring and beautiful just like this book.

A womanizer found his match

I know that Ms. Chelle Bliss books are fun to read and Blaze is not an exemption. The author never stops to give us delicious, funny and amazing stories that will knock our senses out.


Lily is my new favorite heroine aside from Izzy. This girl is hilarious and naive compared to her wild cousins. I cannot put this book down the moment I lay my fingers on my Nook. I love how her parents are so protective of their only girl. She might look naive, but she has a talent that will put a man down on their knees. Love is deadly game for Jet. He finally found his match thru Lily. I enjoyed reading their story.

Book Details:

Book Title:  Between These Walls by Michael Newman
Category:  Adult Fiction 18 yrs +,  375 pages
Genre:  Historical Fiction
Publisher:  Friesen Press
Release date:   March 26, 2020
Content Rating:  PG-13 + M. There are scenes of violence and explicit sex in the book.

Book Description:

A novel of historical fiction that turns on two key events: the discovery of a beautiful blonde woman’s body in the back seat of a burnt out SS staff car during the last days of World War II, by US Army Medical Corps Colonel Samuel Singer, and the unsealing more than four decades later of a security-taped package from Germany, bearing a secret that changes the life of New York art curator Daniel Singer, the adopted son of Colonel Singer.

As Daniel learns more about the package’s contents, he unlocks the history of three families -- one American and two German – through tumultuous times, from the end of the First World War to the rise of Adolf Hitler, the Second World War, the Holocaust, and through to three Middle East wars. Along the way, he gets entangled in the web of the Mossad, Israel’s top secret spy agency and Naomi one of its beautiful operatives, and is ultimately faced with a life-altering choice – and the opportunity to right the most heinous of wrongs.

Something different for me to read

I admit I am not a fan of reading books about war. It is not my cup of tea. Between The Walls pop my cherry, and I am so glad that I agreed to read this book.

I do not know about Hitler but heard his name, but I was not paying attention. I am so glad that this book gives me the ins and out of his devil ways and his colleagues.

Between These Walls is a beautiful story of survival, defeat, freedom and giving back. It is very emotional as well. I did not cry but almost. My first book of the author and I liked his style of writing. It is very engaging until the last page. I enjoyed reading this book.

I loved that the main character give back what is due to the victims. It really is beautiful to read that scene. It is heartbreaking as well. I really recommend this book if you love to read war and history. This is a must read.

He was bad to the bone…

Devin “Bone” Wallace is fresh out of prison and under orders from his parole office to find employment or be re-incarcerated. He’s not exactly a “people person” and he’s got zero computer skills, but that doesn’t stop him from applying at one of the most prestigious real estate firms on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

High-end real estate broker Tedi Mack’s main focus is selling eight-figure beachfront mansions. In desperate need of an office receptionist, she interviews three bubblegum-chewing twenty-somethings and a stunningly handsome tattooed biker who wears his wallet on a chain. Tedi and her all-woman sales staff make a very quick decision: Devin the biker.

After Devin makes a recommendation about a listing that’s been a thorn in Tedi’s side, the property sells, and the celebration leads to an unexpected connection. The attraction is undeniable and hard to resist, but Tedi would be risking her social and professional status being with Devin, a tattooed biker saddled with debt and a surprising criminal past.

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

My favorite so far among the Misadventures series

I read many series of Misadventures from different authors, so far this book is my most favorite from the series. It is my very first book too from the author. I would say I become an instant fan.

This book is hard to put it down. You will hook from the very first chapter until the end.

I loved that I never stop laughing. There are so many laughs out loud moments that you will enjoy while reading this book. At the same time, it is sweet and hot. You can never judge a person by its appearance. Devin will put you into shame. He has such a good heart and willing to defend women to those men that hurt them physically.

I think I am gonna reread this book again.

*********

Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.

After a harrowing experience from his service in the military, Matt returns only to find his marriage to the love of his life is over. In the midst of his darkness, Matt seeks peace camping in Wyoming, where he meets Nicole, an intriguing woman who shifts his perspective, and changes his life forever. As their connection deepens, their relationship uncovers the fears that are holding both of them back.

In this novel of self-discovery, compassion and healing, Nicole and Matt are brought to a greater understanding and acceptance of themselves, and who they are in the world.

Distance cures heartaches

If love between two people are meant to be united and whatever circumstances happen. Love will always find a way. A book written so beautifully by an author who is new to me and I become an instant fan.

Distant and soul-searching works perfectly when you are trying to straighten up your life. A new person comes in a way and helped you focus on what is in-front of you. Love is such a deadly game. It could damage a soul but at the same healed a broken heart.

Second chance of love is even better than the first time. It defines the real you. I enjoyed reading this book. I would die to go camping right now and create a beautiful memory with my family, my furry girls and my camera that will capture precious moment.

This book is such a powerful read. It does heal your broken soul.
