Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia.Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won.
Or should he have?
In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks.
Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there, David and Goliath examine Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms—all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.
In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers—The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and What the Dog Saw—David and Goliath draw upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.

Definitely reading more by this author!!!
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely love Holt and Wren. I loved watching them come back together and admit their feelings for each other. What I loved most was the mystery and suspension all throughout this book! It had me hooked from the very beginning, and just when I thought I knew who the culprit was, it was twisted to someone I never expected! I’ll definitely be reading more by this author 🫶🏻

First book by Catherine Cowles and it did not disappoint!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This was my first book by Catherine Cowles and I am sooo hooked on this series!! I fell in love with Holt & Wren. Having read the blurb before reading, I sort of knew what to expect but you’re left guessing all the way until the end who the culprit is😳
Never in a million years would I have ever guessed it right. It’s so easy to see the love between Holt & Wren never went away and all they did for 10 years was delay the inevitable.
Second chance romances are some of my favorites and this was such a good example of it. It was SO fun to watch their love grow again🫶🏼
I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and catch up with the fam and see all their love stories bloom!

Romantic Suspense…
Format: Paperback
Someone please explain to me why this is the first book I’ve ever read by the queen Catherine. When the guy’s name is Holt… automatically gets me every time. And WREN?!? I’m actually obsessed with her. Second chance, small town… yes please. I immediately have to start Nash’s book. Catherine Cowles I don’t know where you’ve been alllll of my life but I can’t believe I missed you at BB. Get ready for me to post about reading your WHOLE backlist!

such a great introduction to her writing
Format: Paperback
For a short story I loved it!! I went into Visions of You not knowing much, and ended up reading it in one sitting ~ which always tells me I’m hooked.
This was my first book by Catherine Cowles, and I loved the tension and pining woven throughout the story. The emotional pull between the characters really stood out to me, and I found myself completely invested in their dynamic.
Even though it’s a shorter story, it didn’t feel lacking ~ if anything, I just wanted more by the end. I’m so glad I already have several of her books on my shelves because this definitely made me excited to keep reading.
A solid 4-star read and such a great introduction to her writing.
