My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living
By Fifty Sheds of Books on July 7, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
My Life As A Banker is a fascinating, intimate story. The author has an engaging writing style that draws you into the story and you feel as though she is talking directly to you, the reader. There is a nice balance between the professional and the personal and while I found the professional aspects rewarding, the highlight for me was reading about the author's interesting life.
The social history aspects of the book also fascinated me, particularly the descriptions of life in Trinidad and I would image that this memoir will serve as an important document for social historians in years to come.
This might sound strange to say about a book with banker in the title, but the author demonstrates quite vividly that there are far more important things than money in life.
Retirement is Fun
Uplifting Memoir
By Jane H. on September 21, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
In this memoir Brenda Mohammed shares her experiences with retirement. Like many retirees, Mohammed felt apprehensive about retirement at first, trying to re-enter the work-force rather than leave the stable predictability of the daily grind.
As her story progresses, Mohammed finds new meaning in her life through family, art, poetry, writing, cooking and her relationship with God. This is an uplifting read for anyone worried about their declining years.
Revenge of Zeeka:A Horror Trilogy
The Zeeka virus, zombies, and robots
By Wayne Vernon on August 17, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a mini trilogy by author Brenda Mohammed. Different niches apply, from sci-fi to romance, from mystery to horror. The editing is top notch, and the language is fit for younger audiences too. Book 1 sets the scene & the intrigue, while books 2 & 3 expand upon it with action and even more intrigue. The reading flow is great as well. Brenda Mohammed had a sheer moment of brilliance when she decided to build her plot around the Zeeka virus. Creative reason at its best.
