The product launch checklist

A must read guide


My review


Marketing always have interested me a lot. That's why I read
and reviewed this book before my other reads. 

I enjoyed the book the product launch written by Dominic Frúges, 
because it offered a wide range of topics and tips about how to
launch a product. I also found the to do lists and the check lists
in the book very handy. 

It is clear that the author has lots of experience in this topic. So,
the book is an absolute must read guide for everyone who
is interesting in launching a product.

Of course I give a 5 star for the product launch.

Beneath a Copper Sky

 Fantastic novel 



My Review


I read most of Valerie Poore's memoirs and I wouldn't like to
miss this novel based on the author's life in South Africa. 
I must say, "Beneath a Copper Sky" didn't let me down. 

It was a very lively novel, which took the reader on a journey to
South Africa. Through the characters, but also through the storyline,
I had the feeling of being there. Val Poore appealed to all my emotions
as well as my senses.

I highly recommend this book to all people who love reading memoirs/
novels and I give without any doubt a five star rating for
Beneath a Copper Sky.

I really hope that Val Poore continues writing such lovely stories!

Bits, Bytes and Barrels

 What an interesting book!





My review


The book Bits, Bytes and Barrels draws my attention immediately, 
although it sometimes is a dry business subject.

The author did his job very well, by explaining the subject in a 
clear way. It also was handy to have a summary at the end of each
chapter. 

All those things made the book a must-read for
everyone involved in the Oil & Gas industry and the digitalisation
as well!

I give with lots of pleasure a five star rating for this very interesting
book and I hope to read more books from this author.



Booktasters

I want to thank Booktasters and the author Geoffrey Cann as well
for providing my a free copy in return of my honest review, which
I did. 

Reading in Winter

The winter is by far most of my favourite season for reading. When the days 
become shorter and the darkness wins it over from the light, it is very easy to
withdraw myself at home with a good book. Besides that, at work it is less
busier in winter than in summer months, especially September was very
heavy. 

So, I hope to catch up with reading lovely books with inter alia Booktasters
and the We love Memoirs group. 

It's so nice to see all the different styles of books and authors as well. They
make the dark months to come, more colourfull.  







Soon, you'll find here new reviews, I read inter alia Bits, Bytes, and Barrels:
The Digital Transformation of Oil and Gas via Booktasters and Beneath a 
Copper sky of Val Poore. 


Some pictures of the Balloon Festival in my hometown Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.

Enjoy reading!

The offering

A heavy read


Summary


Is it possible to hold onto hope when you lose everything else?
Tariq Abbassi, hospitalized and disoriented, has trouble reconciling
the life he imagined with the one that greets him upon waking in a
trauma center. Soon enough, he realizes the reason behind his current
condition: both of his beloved sons died after a horrific act of negligence.
Struggling to face the dark truth, no matter the cost, he must sift through
his confused memories to resolve how he got here.






My Review


I enjoyed reading this book, although it didn't draw my attention
immediately, due to the flashbacks.

However, the Offering had lots of plots, a very interesting main
character and an open ending. 

I liked the writing style and the story, although it was a very heavy
read.

I would recommend the Offering to all who like to read, fiction and
thrillers told in a novel.

I give a 5 star rating, because the end made me very curious.



Booktasters


I want to thank Booktasters and the author, Salah El Moncef as well
for providing me a free copy in return of my honest review, which I
