Artsy with Mya

This was not exactly the audiobook that I expected when I requested it but I found it interesting, intriguing and full of history. The narrator really sold the book and she sounded exactly like what someone would think the voice of a book about the transatlantic ships and voyages would sound like.  The women of history that the book talks about are truly fascinating and they range from the stories of the women who did what they had to do survive on the sea and the women who were powerful enough in their own way to do what they wanted to do.  One thing that really surprised me about the book was just how far away this era feels compared to present day, but just how much the events discussed in the book impacted the world in some very big ways. There are a few names that are discussed in the book that really surprised me.  It is definitely a longer audiobook at just over 10 hours, but it is an excellent 10 hours spent. This book will be published on August 10th, 2021. ...

  First World War Trials and Executions by Simon Webb Pub Date: 30 Jan 2021 | If you like anthology stories  and books where things are laid out in a nice straight line, you will like this book. It was more of a collection of stories than I expected it to be when I started it.  The chapters were laid out nicely and there were patterns and similarities between the stories that you would not necessarily expect.  More than anything, I think that this book is a good jumping off point for anyone who is interested in the topics of this book. It does not go into great depth about any one thing but it reads like you're listening to your grandpa tell stories; going from one to another as he remembers them.  4/5 stars  ⭐⭐⭐⭐
