Yes, we do it every year. It's a chance to talk about you, talk about the highs and lows of the past year and look forward. Money (That's What I Want) was written by the founder of the music label “Tamla”, Berry Gordy. It was a hit single in 1959 by Barrett Strong and became the first hit record for Gordy's Motown Enterprise in June 1960, making it to number 2 one the US R&B chart and number 23 on the US pop chart. Admittedly, this book burns slooooowly. It wasn't until around the halfway point that I was feeling slightly hooked. It's pretty obvious where this book is going but I have to say - Barber does a fantastic job in really making you feel for these girls. Rosie, who is always in the shadow of her sister Emily, who has been missing for 15 years. Anna, whose mother is overly protective, is extremely sheltered and has a weird feeling about her past, something her mother hates to talk about. A plot line gets in, which is similar to ones we've seen before (you'll have to read this to know what I'm talking about), but it is always one that fascinates me. No Anna. Cold calling is when you call prospective clients when they’re not expecting you to, to ask them something or to sell them something. I’m very good at calling people.

On a sidenote, I did enjoy the Carrie references included with Anna and noticed the parallels included here almost instantly.

Do you remember watching this film and singing along to this song? Then, start whistling the tune because you love it so much? We have chosen this Disney classic because of its high popularity with everyone and anyone. The outcome of why Anna was taken is scary and even more so as its believable and the conclusion of the book moving and a little sad tbh ANNA has been taught that virtue is the path to God. But on her eighteenth birthday she defies her Mamma's rules and visits Florida's biggest theme park.

On her eighteenth birthday Anna lies to the strictly religious and hygiene obsessed mother with whom she has led a sheltered life in North Florida. Plagued by a recurring dream in which she is called by a different name, Anna travels to the nearby Astroland theme park and triggers a blurry recollection that fills her with a eerie certainty that she has been there before. But with Anna’s pious mother, Mary, openly hostile when her daughter asks her about her early years, her investigative efforts are limited by the necessity not to arouse suspicion in a household where life is dictated by religion and routine. I started taking regular classes with Maggie Hamand at the Complete Creative Writing Course, which made me completely rethink my approach to writing, and was invaluable in shaping the way I wrote. There were a few subplots involving a cult-like church, which I found interesting, but there again, the Pastor Paul - Mamma relationship was bizarre and generally inexplicable. There were also some references to some pretty twisted child abuse, which while they were not overly graphic, they were still disturbing. I have always written in fits and starts, but about five years ago I started writing my first serious novel – a very long and drawn out literary fiction piece based on my grandmother’s life in Mandate Palestine, pre-Suez Cairo and post-war London.The story is told in 2 halves, one chapter from ‘Anna’s’ narrative the other from the Sister, Rosie’s. As part of Anna's objectives, what has she been asked to develop? The answer is at the bottom of the transcript below. Transcript It's time for Anna's appraisal - a chance to review how things are going and to set some challenges for the year ahead. But will Anna like what Paul has to say? Maybe news about Rachel will put a smile on her face? Language to use in an appraisal

Both parts are really interesting but I found the Rosie storyline to be the strongest, the press scrutiny even after all the years still hadn’t abated.The song is about the bitterness of a man who has worked long and hard, with no apparent reward - something that seems to be felt by most workers these days. The title of song originated from something that Ringo Starr said. In a interview he said that they had worked all day and night on a job. “I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said 'It's been a hard day... and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, ...night!” So we came to 'A Hard Day's Night'.” It was said that the song captured The Beatles at the peak of Beatlemania and was the most exciting time in pop culture up to that moment and probably ever since. I loved My Name is Anna!! I wanted to devour it in one sitting but my eyes had other ideas. Whilst at work I was thinking about what was going to happen next and how the 2 girls were feeling. Another tough story for a parent to read but I just had to know how it ended. It was emotional and had an ending that I didn't see coming. I would have liked it to keep going a few more chapters from where it ended but I just loved it.

About two months later, preparing for my morning operations meeting, I received a phone call out of the blue, which completely changed my life. Hooray for Anna. Now she’s sounding like a leader. And she’s mastered cold calling by using some simple phrases, like these:During her visit Anna starts to feel like she’s already been there before, surly that’s impossible? My name is Anna was my first book by this author and If I'm being honest I enjoyed the first half much more than the second.
