I listened to this one on Audible, and it was fantastic! I wanted to keep listening even after I got out of the car.

Krakauer knows what he‘s doing when it comes to research, and relaying it in such an interesting way. It was so easy to fly through this one!

I‘m listening to Carrie read this one on Audible. It‘s heartbreaking, but also funny at times. She used the phrase, “a festival of feelings, and that‘s exactly how I felt listening to this! ❤️

I first tried listening to this one, and didn‘t care for it. One of my friends absolutely loved it, so I tried again with the paper version. It is fantastic! There are footnotes scattered throughout, and I think that really threw me off while listening to it. The book does not disappoint!

shanaqui Oof, yeah, I can imagine this one is weird in audio! 2y

The narrator for this one is great! Just the right amount of creepy timbre to his voice.

This book was awful. It didn‘t even feel like Thomas Harris really had written it. 🤢

I loved The Martian. I hated —> bailed on Artemis. Hail Mary is awesome. I‘m so glad I didn‘t give up on Andy Weir after trying to read Artemis and not finishing it! This book is great on Audible, and the narrator is wonderful!

I just finished this one on Audible. It was just fair, but had excellent narrators.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a book by Christina Henry, and it reminds me that I do like her style. She always touches on the lore surrounding a story, but has her own unique twist.

This book is marvelous. It‘s beautifully written and so adaptable to many scenarios we have all likely had at one time or another. I love that it focuses on seeing others, regardless of our differences and caring for one another.

The Book of Accidents | Chuck Wendig

Reminiscent of Stephen King‘s storytelling, this story manages to be dark & twisty while still examining our individual nature. I found myself thinking about second chances, right and wrong decisions and the cosmic luck of our universe.

This one reminded me of another Agatha story, The Vicious Vet!

I really enjoyed this book! If anyone else has read it, did you get thrown off a bit towards the end? I‘m trying not to spoil anything.

It seems that each Agatha book is around 4 hrs long on Audible. They‘ve also been free so far with my Prime membership. This makes them great for my commute to and from work, which is usually around 2 hrs each way! This one was great!

I‘ve loved every Agatha Raisin book so far, and this one is no different. Penelope Keith once again narrated it on audio like a champ! I love her voice!

This book was so well put together, considering the circumstances. I worried it would be hit and miss, but it was laid out so well. I could not put it down!

I walked past my bookshelf, caught a glimpse of this one, and immediately wondered “Why haven‘t I read that?!” At just a little over 200 pages, this book is unique and a quick read. I lost interest once or twice, but it was overall a good read!
