This review is a bit late, but hey, better late than never, right? I listened to my first Jenny Colgan novel a few weeks ago, Little Beach Street Bakery (2014), and while I enjoyed the story and found it cute, the audio does the experience absolutely no favors. The narration took me completely out ofContinue reading “LITTLE BEACH STREET BAKERY – Jenny Colgan”

THE FAVORITES – Layne Fargo
At the beginning of the year, I resolved to listen to more audio books, and while it is not my preferred reading medium, I am finding that I really enjoy it – especially if the narrator(s) “work” with the words. I think some of my early dislike of audio books was due to poor narrationContinue reading “THE FAVORITES – Layne Fargo”

I had watched the Duggars with a bit of morbid fascination throughout the years, much like most reality TV, and was even more captivated when the religious houseContinue reading “COUNTING THE COST – Jill Duggar”
PEARL – Siân Hughes
CHOO! CHOO! The 2023 Booker Train journey is officially over! (With a little less than a week to spare!) Siân Hughes’s Pearl ( W. F. Howes Ltd 2023) is a slim little volume. I decided to read the audiobook as the print copies won’t be available until the end of the month, and I am gladContinue reading “PEARL – Siân Hughes”
GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN – Talia Hibbert
Disclaimer: I don’t typically listen to audio books because it’s not my preferred way to read. In fact, until today, the only audiobook I’ve read was Alison Smith’s Name all the Animals and that was back in 2005. (Fantastic memoir. If you haven’t read it – check it out!) Talia Hibbert’s Get a Life, ChloeContinue reading “GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN – Talia Hibbert”
