What a beautiful homage to Lucy. I’ve always enjoyed your humor. I hope that Sophie enjoyed Duke, and had been happy and healthy ever since your book was published. Thanks for sharing,

Where O Where Has Emily Gone

Revisado: 05-10-23

I was so excited there was a new Emily Henry to brighten my days. But this wasn’t my happy place. The beginning held promise. . . . .
. . . . The end thankfully arrived. But oh, the middle. I thought it would never stop. I longed for more meat on the bones.

And I know Julia Whelen is a sacred, most beloved narrator. And for the most part I also love her, and am always happy to see her name on books I purchase. However, I have to admit that I cringe at her male voice. The male characters have to be pretty strong for me to eventually overlook her male voicing. In this book Winn just never became strong enough.

Having said all this, I will look forward to the next Emily Henry book.

What a Wonderful Look Into a Family

Revisado: 03-22-23

This was my first Napolitano novel, and was an honest view into a middle class family in Chicago. It is a family of sisters with growing pains, intricacies, complications, and love, from the 70s through 2000. I loved every character, with each one written with such care and reality, As I listened, I knew I was not going to want this book to end. And I was right,

The narrator, Maura Tierny, was perfect. After one chapter, I forgot the narrator. I hope that she will do more narrations, because she a wonderfully modulated voice.

I am positive this will not be my last Napolitano novel.

Great Stories

Revisado: 11-05-22

Kelly Ripa has a very satisfying delivery of every story she tells. And her stories are well-worth the telling. I thank her for the laughter, that at times brought me to tears—good tears. My hope is that she keeps journaling the stories so we can look forward to Volume 2.

Completely Satisfying

Revisado: 10-03-22

A town. A house in the town. A woman in the house. So much to learn about all of them. And in the end, all is well.

A Need for Something Light

Revisado: 09-13-22

Prior to this book was one that was serious, required concentration, and long. My next book needed to grab me immediately and fly like the proverbial page turner. This one fit the bill. I loved it. It kept me guessing, and that was all I needed.

First, Not Last

Revisado: 09-04-22

Pam Houston’s love of the Earth caused my heart to whoosh at the end of her book. A whoosh is that softly quick exhalation of breath you make where you know in the very center of your chest that you have just witnessed something so authentic, that you know you are better for having done so. This was my first book by Pam Houston. But I am blessed there will be more.

Spine, Meet Chills

Revisado: 08-22-22

This book was much more compelling than I expected, I’ve always enjoyed Ms. Penny’s mysteries, but the added expertise from Ms. Clinton made this one go from simmer to a boil. Having said that, I realize her additions are what makes it so real. And that is what makes it so frightening.

Time well spent…until the final ten seconds

Revisado: 08-01-22

The other Charlie Donlea books to which I have listened have been fun rides. This one took a screeching, unbelievable tragic halt at the end—one I absolutely don’t believe. And that is the one thing he was right about. I’m just sorry I can’t get back the 10 hours and 31 minutes of my life that I gave to it.

This works. It’s a good story, so I will now get a full-sized Doiron.
