So I removed the rubber-band and took a peek at the first page. But I was instantly taken aback by it’s amazing cover art. A REALLY old fantasy novel, held together with tape and one perfectly positioned rubber-band. But when I got home, books scattered around me in a circle, ready to be returned to their proper place on my shelves, I noticed an addition. (Because that’s what crazy book nerds do.) When school came back into session in August there she was, waiting for me with my bag full of books. “Some goodies to keep you company this summer.” She of course flipped out, grabbing the bag and squealing for joy. Last June (on the last day of school) I brought her a bag full of some of my favorite books. Not because of my children exactly (though she adores both and spoils them rotten) but because we both love to read. ![]() Over the past 5 years I have become very close friends with the secretary at my children’s school. ![]() ** A 4.8 Review as posted on KindleObsessed blog ** ![]() ![]() The first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after.Įvangeline Fox was raised in her beloved father’s curiosity shop, where she grew up on legends about immortals, like the tragic Prince of Hearts. ![]() I'm so excited to share that Once Upon a Broken Heart has a full description: The UK will have a separate and very different cover, which will be revealed at a later date.

Keeping cases out of court means abuses are kept out of the spotlight. The problem isn’t just that aggrieved consumers don’t have access to a remedy. Effectively, banks and other corporations are free to rip off their consumers without fear of being held accountable in court. It’s generally not worth the time and money to bring a case individually, and there’s a disincentive to proceed in arbitration, where claims are decided by a private firm handpicked and paid by the corporation rather than a judge or jury. So when lots of consumers have suffered small harms - as was the case with Wells Fargo - there’s nothing they can do. Instead, ripoff clauses force consumers to seek redress in private arbitration, on an individual basis. These provisions, also known as “forced arbitration” clauses, prevent consumers from suing over wrongdoing in court and prohibit consumers from banding together in class actions. ![]() Like most big banks and many other corporations, Wells Fargo buries ripoff clauses in the fine print of its customer contracts. It’s past time to prohibit the “ripoff clauses” that prevent consumers from enforcing their most basic legal rights. How did Wells Fargo get away with it for so long?Ī big part of the story: Wells Fargo contract provisions blocked consumers from suing the bank in court. Wells Fargo’s scandalous practice of secretly opening more than 2 million sham deposit and credit card accounts dragged on for at least five years. ![]() ![]() ![]() For anyone looking to start a podcast, do better with their podcast, or just listen to a person who knows his field there is something for everyone. ![]() In this episode, we get lots of great of advice as well as an fun conversation.

I have to admit, there were elements to this book that were a bit predictable but I was still encouraged to read on to see how the author played out these events. I loved this because it gave me an opportunity to see both sides of the story, and I really enjoyed seeing their characters mature as the book progressed.

I really liked how imperfect the characters are and how they are both trying to figure out who they are and what they want in life. ![]() Full of matchmaking and sabotaging, this book keeps you wondering what happens next without having too complex a storyline.
