Historia
Kim Stanley Robinson first ventured into the Sierra Nevada mountains during the summer of 1973. He returned from that encounter a changed man, awed by a landscape that made him feel as if he were simultaneously strolling through an art museum and scrambling on a jungle gym like an energized child. He has returned to the mountains throughout his life—more than a hundred trips—and has gathered a vast store of knowledge about them. The High Sierra is his lavish celebration of this exceptional place.

Reviews didn't mentioned that he was on LSD
Revisado: 10-03-22
LSD is bad, illegal, and very dangerous while hiking or not. The author made it sound fun. He kept talking about how great LSD was, that it made his experience so much better. The risk of flashbacks for the rest of your life is very real. I now understand that the title The High Sierra probably wasn't referring to the elevation. I couldn't make it through the first chapter. Not for me.

Thank you Audible for bringing in a new narrator!
Revisado: 02-11-22
The way the previous version of this book started out with the yelling and screaming was very disconcerting. In this newer version of the book the beginning no longer starts out that way. Rosamund Pike is great too. Thank you Audible! I am happily on my way in this series. I couldn't have done it without you.

Historia
Books 1, 2, and the prequel novella of the Fate's Forsaken series. The series follows the adventures of Kael: a young man who is thrust from his home in the Unforgivable Mountains and onto a hero's path. The journey is long, the battles are fierce - nearly all of his companions are outlaws. And Kael's rotten bad luck seems to make everything worse. This is his story.

Derek Perkins does a fantastic job narrating. Doesn't contain any swearing. Great world building. Good book for teens or actually anyone who listens to epic fantasy.

I really enjoyed this series. I have listened to the entire series several times. There is no swearing. The author takes the time to tie up all the loose ends. I love happy endings! I was sad to see it end.

Historia
Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.

Revisado: 02-26-21
I have another copy of The Hobbit, but was curious as to what Mr. Serkis could bring to the narration. He is a great actor, and his narration did not disappoint. His many voices along with his acting skills puts the listener right into the story. I loved this edition of The Hobbit. It is a great story. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Historia
When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But for Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems. The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, leading him to the gates of the nation's royal academy - a whole world of secrets in itself. But this is only the beginning of his discoveries.

Dawn of Wonder one of my top five favorite books.
Revisado: 08-20-20
I love this Audible book! I have listened to it at least ten times and will listen to it many more. I don't write very many reviews, but I feel I must offset the previous negative ones. His writing is brilliant. His characters are very well fleshed out. He allows me to slip away from the present and follow Aedan through his exciting adventures. I have well over 300 Audible books in my library so a rating in the top five is pretty special. I am 63 years young so you don't need to be 13 years old to enjoy this Audible book. Tim Gerard Reynolds is one of the best narrators out there and is perfect for this book. I cannot say enough good things about Dawn of Wonder or it's author. Thank you Jonathan Renshaw for all your efforts. I am one of your biggest fans. Buy this Audible book. You will not be sorry!

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort.

Historia
Ordered to hold an abandoned army post, John Dunbar found himself alone, beyond the edge of civilization. Thievery and survival soon forced him into the Indian camp, where he began a dangerous adventure that changed his life forever. Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

Emmy-award winning gadfly Mike Rowe presents a ridiculously entertaining, seriously fascinating collection of his favorite episodes from America’s number-one short-form podcast, The Way I Heard It, along with a host of memories, ruminations, and insights. It’s a delightful collection of mysteries. A mosaic. A memoir. A charming, surprising must-have. Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It collects 35 fascinating stories “for the curious mind with a short attention span”.

The Way I Heard It
Revisado: 04-30-20
Oh my. I love this Audible book. I really liked Mike Rowe's Dirty Job series. When they come on TV, I can't stop watching; even though I may have already seen it two or three times.
Something about his "moderately baritone" voice and his humble behavior along with his special sense of humor really kept both my husband and I captivated. When I saw he had a book out, I purchased it right away, and so should you if you're a fan. This book is every bit as good as his show, even better. You won't be disappointed. Each of his 38 some odd personalities he talked about kept me guessing as to who each person was. He revealed each one at the end of each chapter. I will listen to this one again, right away . The previous five star reviews were spot on. Don't let this one pass you by. He truly tells it the way he heard it. When's the next book coming out? I love the stories. I just wish I could have heard him sing opera. All bet he's phenomenal. I also love that his mom corrects his email. (Hope that's not a spoiler alert.) I really appreciate someone who takes pride in their use of the English language.
So, take my advice and add this one to your library. You won't be sorry.

Historia
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.

Absolutely loved this Audible book! It has a very unique start to it. So much so that I had to listen to it again to really appreciate it. A very happy little tale. Okay there were some sad parts in it, but it wouldn't be a very good story without them, and who doesn't love a happy ending. Thumbs up from me!
