Historia
A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later I met a man, and we fell madly in love. It was a fairy-tale romance for a month and a half, and he convinced me to join him on a romantic month-long vacation in Italy. Forty-eight hours before we were supposed to get on a plane, he told me he needed to go by himself. I was devastated. So, I had a decision to make. Either stay home and be heartbroken, or go travel Europe for a month by myself.

I’m not the target audience
Revisado: 02-03-25
This memoir has a good performance (safe for mispronunciations in other languages) and great intentions, but it’s just not for me.

Historia

The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Suddenly, Cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was.

Speechless
Revisado: 02-03-25
This was a wonderful example of how elegant, beautiful, intelligent, and enthralling detective fiction can be. It touches upon everything I love. I enjoyed it, at times, breathlessly. Tana French is an outstanding author Heather O’Neill did a brilliant job. I’m just, overall, thrilled with this audiobook. :)

Historia
Imani Perry’s Audible Original A Dangerously High Threshold for Pain tells the dramatic story of her ongoing struggle with lupus—an autoimmune disease that attacks multiple organ systems—and what we can all learn from those who are grappling with chronic illness. It’s a powerful and poetic story that evokes the works of Susan Sontag, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Audre Lorde.

Navigating the sick body
Revisado: 01-08-25
I have a chronic illness. My parents didn’t understand it and I always blamed them for not doing so. Then I became an adult and discovered I didn’t know what it was either. I was diagnosed at 13, maybe 14. I had little awareness of myself, so I cannot remember what it was like to exist without it. I went from physician to physician trying to understand, but I still can’t. Maybe the reason is that, even if there’s a ton of medical literature, medicine is (like every other profession) interpretative, trial-and-error, even a bit of divination.
I have little faith in medicine. I, in contrast to this author, irresponsibly prefer ignorance in the face of an atrocity. Trying to find answers and not being able to find them becomes exhausting. If it is indeed what it is, my only tool is to give myself permission to feel, and feel everything.
But this book is a solidarity hug. When I became a professor and scholar myself, without realizing it, what I was really looking for was the answers for the questions I had about the body—my female body, my sick body. I think of the (female) body in pain and study in its literary representations because I’m in constant pain. It’s a no-brainer from the outside, but it took me a Master’s Degree to figure it out.
Seldom have I felt so accompanied. Listening to this book in the voice of its author is a special kind of recognition. It made me feel warm, seen, and validated. And it came at a time when I really needed the reassurance.

Historia
The close knit community in San Miguel de Allende Mexico was plagued by a string of sophisticated kidnappings for nearly a decade.

It's everyone's favorite neighbor and a pillar of the community, Ramon Guerra. Except Ramon isn't who he says he is.

Karla Souza is 🔥
Revisado: 01-03-25
One of the things I hate about books on an international subject is that the performers are rarely familiar with that language. It happens a lot when dealing with subject matters in Spanish. Karla Souza is Mexican, so it makes all the sense in the world that she performs a book about a Mexican town. Her pronunciation in Spanish is that of a native speaker, and I think that enhances the execution of this audiobook/series. It should always be done—it’s utterly frustrating to have actors mispronouncing crucial information (such as names, places, and local terms). Souza is an excellent actress and her reading was precise; it had the perfect cadence and it seemed respectful to its subject matter.
