If you haven’t read the first part yet, please go to this link and read the first part. This is part two of my Lean Startup book review. But “How Facebook was able to raise so much money with such a small user-base?” Eric Ries focused on this compelling question in his widely read best seller book “THE LEAN STARTUP”, and also provided adequate strategies that any startup can adopt. Of course, by now you’ve guessed that these three college sophomores were Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes of Facebook. Less than a year later, they raised an additional $12.7 million. With 150,000 registered users, it made little in revenue, yet that summer they raised their first $500,000 in venture capital. It was not the market-leading social network or even the first college social network other companies had launched sooner and with more features. ![]() ![]() It was live on a handful of college campuses. ![]() In 2004, three college sophomores arrived in Silicon Valley with their newly launched college social network. ![]()

![]() ![]() Our protagonist is Leonora “Nora” Shaw has woken up in the hospital with her memory shot. I read too fast…partly because I was being sucked into the book.īefore I get to my mistake, let me introduce you to the book it’s told through flashbacks. If you’re a movie-lover like I am, you can tell after awhile what details are important to the plot. In a Dark, Dark Wood is somewhat predictable. Two were by Gillian Flynn, Dark Places and Sharp Objects, and the other was In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. ![]() Now, I had just finished The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (I do recommend it by the way) and I was craving something with a similar complexity, so I searched under “books like these” and found three books. ![]() After receiving a Barnes & Noble gift card (it’s the gift that keeps on giving), I eagerly began my search for another book. ![]() ![]() I’d be grateful if you could gently tell your publisher that they’re losing potential sales by restricting their markets. ![]() On a related note, even if I wanted to, I still can’t buy Magic Bleeds or Magic Slays as e-books here, though Gunmetal Magic has finally turned up on Amazon, months after I gave up trying to find it digitally after my dead tree copy arrived in the post. Once I have the physical book, there’s no further incentive for me to buy the digital version, so you’ll lose that sale. ![]() I’d love to buy this for the Kindle to read while I wait for the physical book to arrive in the post, but it’s not currently available for someone in New Zealand.

There, Dors is made famous (in the sector at least) by fighting ten thugs at the same time and winning. When they are nearly put to death by the fanatical locals, they finally go to Dahl sector. They also mourn for a lost planet that they lived on called Aurora. ![]() Next, they flee to Mycogen where all the people have no hair on their bodies - even the women. There he meets Dors Venabili and nearly dies of cold on the top the buildings of the University. He then flees the imperial sector of Trantor (where the Emperor lives) to Streeling University. The next chapter tells how Hari Seldon is attacked by two hired thugs armed with laser knives and how Chetter Hummin helps him escape. It starts with Emperor Cleon I talking to his advisor/aid who tells him about a man called Hari Seldon who has produced a remarkable theory of how to predict the future. It tells how Hari Seldon meets Chetter Hummin (who later turns out to be a robot) and Dors Venabili.

With his characteristically pure-science approach ("Why doesn't someone do somethingĪbout mud?" the Marine Corps general had asked him) he has isolated crystals of ice in such a way that water can now be caused to freeze at a relatively high temperature. We further learn that on the night of his death, years later, he was again "playing around"-in the kitchen this time, with some water and bits of ice. ![]() When Dad came up to him, jerking the string back and forth, saying: "See the cat!

The big stack of Fablehaven novels were a belated birthday gift. I've already read a few of them and they were amazing but I'm reading quicker than I can review - so I'll post longer thoughts in the next few weeks. Last week I moaned a little about the lack of new reads, so of course since then I received ALL THE BOOKS! I'm stoked with my new review novels as they're all titles I've been wanting to read for a while now, either because I've been hearing nothing but great things about them or they're written by authors I absolutely adore (Clarke, Colgan).
