I have since finished the series to date and I have to say I think I could have skipped around in the series a bit and maybe read the third book Well Matched before this one so if you are wondering if you need to start at the beginning of the series, I would say no but it’s nice to see the characters evolve and make reappearances in other books! This is a fun quick romance series and I adore it! Summary It’s a fun quirky series that really has some laughs and charming characters but also manages to bring the heat and chemistry between the characters so well. I mean it’s not every day that a Renaissance festival provides a backdrop for a romance series. I have really enjoyed this quirky series. Plus, I can listen at work which is a huge bonus for me! ![]() The narrator is the same and I enjoyed her quite a bit. Naturally I moved on to this second book with a ton of enthusiasm! I downloaded the audiobook for this one as well as the first book. ![]() I had seen the third book around the social media world and thought it sounded cute but wanted to start with the first book in the series ( which I loved by the way!). I picked up the first book in this series on a whim. ![]()

That is the unique focus of Crossover Experience.Having carefully researched thousands of the most exceptional Near-Death Experiences recorded, it is evident that if we shift our focus and train our minds-eye on the nuance - the fine details that do not stand out from those "main events," we find there is a treasure-trove of qualities that reveal more of the contours, depth and messaging within a Near-Death Experience.

Īccording to Ernst von Glasersfeld, Piaget was "the great pioneer of the constructivist theory of knowing". The number of collaborations that its founding made possible, and their impact, ultimately led to the Center being referred to in the scholarly literature as "Piaget's factory". Piaget created the International Center for Genetic Epistemology in Geneva in 1955 while on the faculty of the University of Geneva, and directed the center until his death in 1980. Educators continue to incorporate constructivist-based strategies. ![]() His theory of child development is studied in pre-service education programs. As the Director of the International Bureau of Education, he declared in 1934 that "only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual".
