Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love (and Banana Pudding) | Laura Dern, Diane Ladd

pick

This is such a beautiful book to help open up honest conversations with our loved ones as we head into our wisdom years. It made me cry as I miss having more talks like this with my beloved Mom who I lost last year.😥
Highly recommend the audiobook read by the late great actress Diane Ladd (who passed away last month) and her talented daughter Laura Dern, both pictured here. (Photo from Laura Dern‘s Instagram page.)

How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships | Leil Lowndes

so-so

This audiobook was okay and had some good pointers for handling business situations and ways to shine. I can find some value in the tips within, but glad the audio was the older version of “62 tricks” instead of the newer “92”. As I‘ve seen in some other reviews, I would agree it is outdated/old fashioned.

Cosmos_Moon_River What irritated me about the book was how the author read constantly with an extreme level of enthusiasm and almost every sentence in was an alliterative mnemonic phrase, like “parties are for pratter”, “dinners are for dining” and “Charlie, chance encounters are for chitchat”. They seem forced and a bit juvenile. Some parts also sounded quite out of touch, like calling a social “screw up” a “boner”. (edited) 12mo
