Love the MC, Lift. This novella was a nice interlude in the series. It helped me catch my breath before taking on the tome that is next in the lineup. The audiobook version was delightful.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect with this one and was pleasantly surprised. The audiobook was very good.

One of the best books I‘ve read in quite some time. There are very few books I ever want to read again, but this is one. I love the way this story unfolds. I‘m glad I listened to the audiobook because of the French pronunciations.

I thought I reviewed this, but don‘t see it. Take two…

I really like this series and this just might be my favorite. The technique the author uses of writing himself into the story is fun and creative. It really draws you into the story. The audiobook narrator, Rory Kinnear, does a great job bringing the characters to life.

The audiobook version of this was very good. While the story is fiction, several of the events are based on the author‘s life as a classical musician.

Thanks for the recommendation #OverBookedClub. I enjoyed this, but it was a slow burn and therefore not everyone‘s cup of tea.

Shenanigans ensue once again as Finlay and Vero set out to solve another mystery. Suspend your sense of reality just a tad and enjoy the high jinx!

The hook at the end of Book 1 made me want to read book 2. The hook in Book 2, makes me want to read Book 3.

Narrator Angela Dawe does a very good job voicing the audiobook.

If you like Rom Coms, this one is for you. I‘m only in the so-so category for most RCs, but this was a delightful “listen.” The audiobook narrator, Hillary Huber, is very good.

Love this author. Love this series. How do you know you are invested in a story? When you want to read as fast as you can to see what happens, but you want to take your time because you don‘t want it to be over!

I just deleted my review instead of posting it. Take two…

I liked this book. Good plot. MC is snarky and humorous. For some reason I‘m a sucker for books about overly entitled parents who are freaking out about college admissions. I read another book by this author and will look forward to future works.

I really like this series. This one is third in the series. It feels creative and not formulaic. Looking forward to the next one.

I learned a LOT about salt. I found this book enjoyable and interesting, however, I must admit I was glad when I finished. If you like non-fiction and aren‘t already a salt expert, give this book a try.

I really like the premise of this book. I even like the “rules.” At times it was somewhat repetitive. I wish I had known this was a novelization of a play before I listened to it. I can easily imagine this occurring onstage. I agree with other reviewers who mentioned that there was no cat in the story even though there is a cat on the cover. The narrator has a very pleasant voice and is a good match for this novel.

I liked the setting and the characters. If you like Katherine Center, you‘ll like this one. I do think her more recent books are better, but this was definitely enjoyable.

I think I just deleted my review, so here goes Take 2!

Loved Aggie‘s move to granny panties & processed food. Also, loved to hate her husband, Jack.

Very interesting. I‘m fascinated by cults. However, I wish the author had left out the politics or at least acknowledged that successful politicians, regardless of their particular bent, share certain personality characteristics. And if they are charismatic leaders, they also have similarities in how they speak to their audiences. Also makes me thankful to live where we still have freedom of speech and religion.

Read this one because my adult son & daughter-in-law really like it. I don‘t usually like fantasy books, but this is an exception for me. It is LONG, but I found it engaging. Will need to catch my breath before delving into the next in the series, but plan on reading it. I switched between the audiobook and kindle version. The narration of the audiobook is very good.

I never would have read this if not for #OverBookedClub. Thank you! Interesting period of history with characters that draw you in and make you care about them.

This book addresses human-animal conflict. There are a wide variety of problems between people and animals, however, not a lot of great solutions. I did learn quite a few things and I find Roach‘s writing style to be entertaining.

This is such a creative novel. I loved all the quirky characters, especially the children. I appreciate the little touches that really add humor, such as “Extremely Upper Management.” Gotta give props to the narrator, Daniel Henning, who voiced the characters much better than I probably would have on my own.

This book has an outlandish plot, but a likable MC and an ancillary character (ex-husband‘s girlfriend) you love to hate makes this an enjoyable listen. I honestly wasn‘t sure about reading book #2 and then there was the Epilogue. What a great hook for the next book! I‘m all in!!!

This is an interesting novel about Belle de Costa Greene, J.P. Morgan‘s personal librarian. Belle becomes very influential in the art and book world all while hiding a huge secret - she is a Black woman “passing” as white (not a spoiler; info given in the book description).

A good contemporary novel dealing with parent/child relationships, college admissions, and a bad decision.

I loved the audiobook! The narrator, Kirt Graves, brings the characters to life. I loved this story of transitioning to the afterlife. It was both humorous and bittersweet.

This is shaping up to be a fun listen. I‘ve just started and am loving it! These characters are fantastic.

Very enjoyable. Three generations of women (and a few men) work to save their family‘s failing winery. I liked the book club connection. If I had read Jackie Collins, Judith Krantz, etc, I‘m sure I would have liked it even more.

Such a heartwarming story about a girl and a dog. I can‘t believe I haven‘t read this before now. Narration by Cherry Jones is excellent.

Another good installment in the Stephanie Plum series. I really enjoyed the addition of Potts and another potentially recurring character, Gabriela Rose.

If you are a dog person, you will love this book. Initially I didn‘t realize it was a memoir. I usually dislike memoirs, but this one is excellent. I loved the quirky dog walkers, the eccentric owners, and, of course, the dogs! The audiobook is narrated by Anna Popplewell.

I‘ve always liked this series. If you are a Grandma Mazur fan, you‘ll enjoy this one!

I really liked this book. I found the MC to be VERY relatable in that quirky, but one-step-too-far (i.e. WEARING the dog) kind of way that makes her humorous. I think it takes a skillful writer to bring just the right amount of that quirkiness to major life stresses to make it funny and not just bizarre. One‘s life experiences probably play a big role in whether you find the MC sadly humorous or whiny. Narrated by Courtney Patterson.

I liked this book a lot and would definitely recommend it, but honestly, there was a point where I wanted it to just move along already. That being said, I LOVED the ending. The audiobook is narrated by Julia Whelan, who is a fantastic narrator.

P.S. If you decide to sell your soul, be REALLY careful with the wording of the deal. (Maybe run it by a friend first.😂)

A gentle reminder to those of us of a certain age to get rid of all those items we no longer use and that no one in our circle of family and friends wants. This was a bit more of a memoir than I expected. The audiobook is narrated by Juliet Stevenson who is excellent and the perfect choice for this particular book.

This is the second of the Thursday Murder Club series. I liked this one even more than the first. The characters are endearing. I love Joyce‘s new Instagram account! A great whodunnit. An excellent narrator for the audiobook.

I love this series! I think it is so clever that the author writes himself into the story. I hope there are many more to come!!!

I enjoyed this book. The relationships seemed realistic. Has the feel of a memoir without the whiny aspect I detest in most real memoirs😂

Very good story. Very good narrator. I liked the twist that came in the middle. It added just the right change to keep it from becoming repetitive. I didn‘t really like the MC all that much, but STILL really enjoyed this book.

I had my doubts about this, but am pleasantly surprised. I hope the storyline holds up.

How have I never heard of Virginia Hall? What a woman!!! So tough. So brave. So dedicated. This is the kind of nonfiction book that is so interesting there is no need for it to ever be turned into historical fiction. And once again, the narration by Juliet Stevenson is exceptional.

I enjoyed Juliet Stevenson‘s narration of Miss Benson‘s Beetle so much I searched my library for other books she has narrated. This popped up and was available. So far, what a find!

I liked this book for the most part, but it drug for me in places. I‘m fascinated by the process of creating a dictionary, so I found the premise intriguing. The audiobook narrator was good.

You know a book is in your wheelhouse when you are torn between rushing to find out how it ends and pacing yourself because you don‘t want to be finished. The audiobook narrator, Juliet Stevenson, is absolutely fabulous. She truly brings the characters to life. I love this book!

I‘m almost halfway into the audiobook version and am loving it! The narrator, Juliet Stevenson, is wonderful! I hope the story holds up through the end.

I had no preconceived notions about this book before I read it. It is one that will stick with me for a long time. From the opening sentence, I was hooked. There are humorous moments and tragic moments. It took me quite some time to finish it, but it was well worth it.

“I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice…”

Very interesting premise. Excellent narrator. If you like this series, I think you will be pleased with this book.

Just started this audiobook. Great premise! Sure hope it pans out! 🤞🏻

If I had known this was a memoir, I NEVER would have listened to it. I despised the last two memoirs I read. This was a pleasant surprise. The author was introspective and she was NOT whiny. (Those other memoirs lacked introspection and were painfully self-indulgent). So, props to Michelle Zauner. Loved the descriptions of the food & the role it played in her relationships, especially with her mother.

Great book. I‘ve been involved in sports a long time and so I particularly liked the focus on tennis/coaching/parents of athletes. I liked how the author occasionally moves the story along through the viewpoints of minor characters. She did a great job of showing how various family members have different recollections of past events. I also appreciated the main characters doing some self-reflection as it improved their relatability.

Not too far into this, but it is shaping up to be a good one!

Unpopular opinion, but this book didn‘t do much for me. Neil was the only character I found to be relatable. I don‘t think the audiobook was the way to go with this one.
