Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Rising Stars of the Rising Economies

 Rising Stars of the Rising Economies, Ayman Kabli, 2023

This book presents short profiles of over 200 young people, from all over the rest of the world, who are following their entrepreneurial dreams.

In countries ranging from Croatia to Sri Lanka, these young people exhibit the tenacity and drive to succeed. Their businesses go from fashion design to biomedical engineering. They won't let a lack of educational opportunities, or lack of an entrepreneurial culture in their country, get in their way.

For any young person with a dream, or a business idea, who does not live in America, this book is highly recommended. It is very inspirational, and may just provide the spark to create the next Richard Branson.
