Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret"Rollicking, irresistible, un put downable . . . For anyone . . . who swooned to Netflix's The Crown, this book will be manna from heaven." Hamish Bowles, Vogue "Ninety Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret is a brilliant, eccentric treat." Anna Mundow, The Wall Street Journal "I ripped through the book with the avidity of Margaret attacking her morning vodka and orange juice . . .

"Rollicking, irresistible, un-put-downable . . . For anyone . . . who swooned to Netflix's The Crown, this book will be manna from heaven." --Hamish Bowles, Vogue

"Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret is a brilliant, eccentric treat." --Anna Mundow, The Wall Street Journal

"I ripped through the book with the avidity of Margaret attacking her morning vodka and orange juice . . . The wisdom of the book, and the artistry, is in how Brown subtly expands his lens from Margaret's misbehavior . . . to those who gawked at her, who huddled around her, pens poised over their diaries, hoping for the show she never denied them." --Parul Sehgal, The New York Times

"Brown has done something astonishing: He makes the reader care, even sympathize, with perhaps the last subject worthy of such affection . . . His book is big fun, equal measures insightful and hysterical.
" --Karen Heller, The Washington Post

A witty and profound portrait of the most talked-about English royal

She made John Lennon blush and Marlon Brando tongue-tied. She iced out Princess Diana and humiliated Elizabeth Taylor. Andy Warhol photographed her. Jack Nicholson offered her cocaine. Gore Vidal revered her. Francis Bacon heckled her. Peter Sellers was madly in love with her. For Pablo Picasso, she was the object of sexual fantasy.

Princess Margaret aroused passion and indignation in equal measures. To her friends, she was witty and regal. To her enemies, she was rude and demanding. In her 1950s heyday, she was seen as one of the most glamorous and desirable women in the world. By the time of her death in 2002, she had come to personify disappointment. One friend said he had never known an unhappier woman. The tale of Princess Margaret is Cinderella in reverse: hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled.

Such an enigmatic and divisive figure demands a reckoning that is far from the usual fare. Combining interviews, parodies, dreams, parallel lives, diaries, announcements, lists, catalogues, and essays, Craig Brown's Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret is a kaleidoscopic experiment in biography and a witty meditation on fame and art, snobbery and deference, bohemia and high society.

Best Relationship Book!!
Format: Hardcover
First, I wish I had this book 25 years ago. Sure, I had the Bible and knew all the Christian 'rules' but Rev. Todd lays everything out so well, even the details that have gotten lost or glazed over through the decades of Christian teachings. The way he presents each phase is superb! I love, love, love his authentic writings on God's love for each of us. You can tell Rev. Todd is a man of deep faith but most of all, he is just a person that, like all of us, mess up. His writings are real, authentic, relatable, inspiring and exactly what this world needs. I do hope Rev. Todd continues to write on other topics. I have been truly blessed by this book!

Read It All
Format: Hardcover
First Impression and Why I Bought It: This book was very informative and may be a fresh read for some people. I bought it during a time of my life when I wasn't sure what I wanted out of my relationship because I was struggling with an unrealistic and teenage way of dating as a young adult. About/From the Book: I learned the value of singleness and what it would mean to move forward in a healthy, committed relationship. It can be a good basis for any young person looking for guidance in how to maximize your singleness; learning yourself--what you like and don't like, what you want to do/don't--how to set realistic expectations for yourself in pursuit of a partner, how dating should go based on biblical standards but it teaches how to do that in a practical and modern way. Throughout the book the value in your relationship with God and how the value of that relationship flows into your romantic, friend, and business/work-related relationships is tied together. So if you're single or dating and you want to gain a different perspective of how to navigate your period of singleness using a modern biblical practice but also just relevant to Gen X, check this out. Would I recommend? Yes. Who would I recommend it to? 18-24 y/os. My Appliances: Ironically, after reading this book I did take up new skill, figured out what I wanted in my relationship, and recommend it to a friend who bought a copy. And regarding the biblical based modern dating technique, it can be done, it just takes maturity and restraint. Although being an adult where I am now in life, I think that if you're with someone that you know, that you know you're going to marry then hiccups may occur when trying to apply that, especially when you're attracted to that person, haha. Conclusion: Please read the book in an objective format, yes some things can be taken literally, but life isn't gonna happen the way he describes it. These are just rules of thumb to reference as you do life and apply at your own discretion.

Light bulbs💡 when off in my head, helping me put the puzzle together! I am only in the first chapter of the book, but Relationship Goals has already brought clarity and is connecting the dots to things I have been struggling with in my relationships. I instinctively have the intentions to be the best person I can for myself and others. I was self sabotaging myself due to lacking the proper guidance that I’ve been searching for. Hitting a low level in my life, a lot of my relationships have been destroyed due to lack of knowledge. We all know what we want out of a relationship but seem to fall short and miscommunication then shatters our true intentions. The book is a reminder of God’s natural law and the purpose he planned over my life. It’s a manual on how to use his word to navigate and win in relationships. If your like me and you love your family and friends, but deep down inside you want more then what they can help you with. Turn back to God, grab this book, read and listen with faith!!! You will know how to move forward and get back to living an abundant life. This book is for everyone in any relationship situation that has a plan but need the step by outline on how to get to the goal. Relationship Goals is a easy to read recipe book! It has a hint of relatability to millennials, dash of scripture references, and cup full of Pastor Michael Todd’s advice and humor. Thank you for the perfect recipe manual to help get me back on track to trusting God and walking in my purpose!
