Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business

Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business by Barbara Corcoran is a humorous biography of a woman who had 9 siblings and always got peanut butter with grape jelly sandwiches for lunch. I loved the author’s voice, and while I’m too risk-averse to ever start my own business, I couldn’t put the book down.

Blurb:

The inspiring true story of Shark Tank star --and her best advice for anyone starting a business. After failing at twenty-two jobs, Barbara Corcoran borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Using the unconventional lessons she learned from her homemaker mom, she gradually built it into a $6 billion dollar business. Now Barbara's even more famous for the no-nonsense wisdom she offers to entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, ABC's hit reality TV show.

She’s Not Invisible

She’s Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick is a curious book for young adults. 

On the surface, it’s a thriller-mystery. Dig deeper and it’s about a blind heroine making it in the world ruled by sight. Dig some more, and it’s a philosophical treaty about the nature of coincidence and patterns. I found that the blurb, which talked about a raven and dried mice, didn’t do the book justice.

Double Vision by Colby Marshall

Double Vision by Colby Marshall is a much-awaited 2nd Dr Jenna Ramey novel - she of the superpower that allows her to see things in true colour: lies flash a different hue in her mind to the tint that words of familial love assume.

The pace was awesome, the characters real, the theme a delightful concoction of colours and numbers. Serial killers are always fascinating and super-scary, so this book won't disappoint.

If you've read Color Blind, you already have Double Vision on your bedside table. If you haven't discovered Colby Marshall yet, go buy both.
