Jules Verne is the master of classic adventure tales. Around the World in Eighty Days is just more proof that his excellent writing skills put the readers right in the book with Phileas Fogg and Passepartout. Because of a bet by his friends, Phileas sets out to get all the way around the world in eighty days. Phileas is a rich man, but also very precise about his life. He wants everything done the way he likes and will get rid of anyone who does not do that. The wager starts when he is at a local club and begins an argument about whether a person could get all the way around the world in such a short period of time. He believes he can because a new railroad has been opened in India. Because he is so sure of his mathematical figures, he takes the wager and sets off with his new valet. He has a carefully planned route for them to travel by steamer boat and railroad. Their itinerary includes crossing the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and also across several continents. What he does not plan on is that a bank robber left England at the same time they did and a detective mistakes Phileas for the robber and follows them. Along the way, Phileas bribes people to rush their trip, they rescue a woman about to be sacrificed, ride elephants and miss their boats. They lose a few days and have to rush to make up the lost time. When they finally get to San Francisco, their adventure really speeds up! They encounter a big herd of buffalo and are also attacked by Sioux Indians. All the while, Phileas is still trying to make up lost time and get back to England in eighty days. Around the World in Eighty Days has so many wild adventures that no reader can be bored. Along with the excitement, there is also the element of mystery as the reader needs to decide if Phileas is the bank robber or not and whether he can learn to relax and be a friend to others. No one will be sorry they spent the time to read Jules Verne’s book. More great books at LoyalBooks.com

Welcome to “Only Looking Up”, a podcast by YouTuber Dearly Bethany and hosted by me, Bethany! So this podcast is not your oh-so-typical podcast that focuses on one subject and never strays from it. Oh no no no. This podcast is a place where I talk about almost everything. A little of fashion, beauty, art, history, books, self-development, my relationship and more.

One of the Greek words for Love is Agape – meaning Love as an Action. For me that is parenting. It is about constantly doing, showing, teaching, learning and feeling love with your child. It is about showing them in action, every day, the different forms of love – sometimes as a friend, sometimes as a teacher, sometimes as a parent and always as a human. This podcast has little nuggets of Agape, for you to listen, immerse, resonate and practice. These little nuggets are memories and events from my life as a parent.
