只要你勇往直前、不斷學習、更深刻理解,
就能創造出真正有用、創新的事物。」

比爾・蓋茲親筆自傳
首度公開他的養成之路!
 
所有超凡成就,都有開始的路徑
 
  比爾・蓋茲,當代最具影響力與變革力的企業領導人與慈善家,他的成就早已廣為人知。
 
  他20歲從哈佛輟學、創立微軟,大規模授權軟體的創新商業模式,將微軟發展成全球最大的軟體公司,也將全世界都推進了資訊革命的浪潮。從此,我們的工作與生活方式,徹底改變。
 
  權威傳記作家艾薩克森在《時代雜誌》中寫道,比爾・蓋茲是「當代最重要的智慧與人物」。
 
  在商業上的巨大成功,蓋茲快速累積了龐大的財富,他31歲成為當時最年輕的白手起家全球首富。他成立全球最大的私人慈善基金會,投身慈善事業,用智慧與財富,致力於解決氣候變遷、全球健康與美國教育等重大挑戰。蓋茲對於科學與科技創新的看法與影響,一直是大家追蹤的焦點。
 
  蓋茲成名得很早,雖然大家熟悉他的成就,但是,對他個人所知甚少。比爾・蓋茲到底是怎麼成為影響世界的比爾・蓋茲?
 
  蓋茲回顧他的人生,發現形塑他一路走來所有的關鍵,其實都在他早年的成長歲月。
 
  「成功故事常把人簡化成某些刻板印象:
  神童、天才工程師、充滿矛盾的商業大亨。
  我的故事,充滿許多非我能控制的獨特情境,
  塑造了我的性格,影響了我的選擇。」
 
  蓋茲梳理他的成長,首度揭露形塑他一生的重要影響與關鍵特質。
 
  蓋茲從小就能屏蔽外界雜訊、長時間專注,他習慣在書中找答案、靠閱讀大量吸收新知,在腦中逐漸建立心智模型;他喜歡數學與邏輯的秩序,小學就想成為「每天都在解決問題的科學家」。
 
  早熟的蓋茲很早進入叛逆期,也很早開始追求獨立,但蓋茲之所以成為今日的蓋茲,要歸功於成長過程的許多重要人物。
 
  祖母從遊戲中啟發他運用大腦深度思考,父母「嚴厲的愛」提供了剛好的支持與適度的壓力,鼓勵他不設限追求卓越、接觸外界、培養社交能力。蓋茲也遇到許多好老師,引導他拓寬視野,也給他探索的自由。學生時代的朋友更成為幫助他不斷進步的夥伴。一群少年在新時代的曙光中遇見了程式與電腦的世界,把自身能力變成一門好生意,成為新興產業的領跑者,引發了改變世界的科技革命。
 
  「當你褪去所有歲月的痕跡與後天的學習,
  才驚訝地發現,自己的許多特質,都是小時候就存在了。」

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
