Historia
When reading and writing are the most important things in the world. Jevick, the pepper merchant's son, has been raised on stories of Olondria, a distant land where books are as common as they are rare in his home - but which his mother calls the Ghost Country. When his father dies and Jevick takes his place on the yearly selling trip to Olondria, Jevick's life is as close to perfect as he can imagine. Just as he revels in Olondria's Rabelaisian Feast of Birds, he is pulled drastically off course and becomes haunted by the ghost of an illiterate young girl.

Haunting and Colorful
Revisado: 02-02-24
Really enjoyed the complexity of how the story unfolded. The relationships and dynamics in each of the cultures and political spectrums among the variant countries takes the reader on a wonderfully winding journey with multiple perspectives. For the audiobook specifically, the narrator does a fantastic job painting a picture of eclectic characters with their own emotive styles and expressions.

My e-reader just transported me to another galaxy where alien warriors claim humans as their brides. And I'm given to the biggest, surliest one of them all. He's going to train me and claim me as his perfect pleasure mate.

Really enjoyed the second installment of this trilogy! In between the spicy scenes of alien erotica, the plot is incredibly engaging. Wait for the twist at the end! The narrator does a fantastic job differentiating between characters; great voice acting makes it easy to distinguish between the alien and human personas. Delightful mix of awww, wow, and ohhhh myyyyyy.

Really enjoyed the unfolding of this story from a cultural, political, and fictional standpoint. can't wait to check out the rest of the saga to see where the Perez family goes from here. The narration is a perfect blend of sweet and direct and really helped differentiate between the characters.

Historia
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So, when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything.

Revisado: 10-25-22
This story of trial and tribulation is such an uplifting journey through tears and triumph. Moyes provides such a necessary perspective on the comforts of modern life and the freedoms we enjoy while still reminding us how far we need to go as a society. Whelan's performance really helped distinguish different characters. For the main antagonist, it was really easy to dislike everything from that person's mouth just based on the accent and intention behind their vindictiveness. Really enjoyed this story.

Historia
Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Betrayal, magic, and intrigue
Revisado: 05-11-22
This is my first Laura Sebastian novel and I am hooked! It starts off seemingly predictable, but the twists and double crosses keep you guessing up until the last page! Very PG-13 regarding violence and sexuality. No vulgarity, which may be important to some for a YA novel. Loved the performance of Roisin Rankin; mastering regional dialects and making each sister stand out with individual idiosyncrasies made this audiobook a real delight.

A call to action and self reflection
Revisado: 10-20-21
I really appreciated the straightforward, logical definitions and explanations in every chapter. This book gave me the context and terminology that I can use in my daily thoughts and actions. For me, I always thoroughly enjoy having the author narrate their book because it adds the authentic inflection and delivery intended when it was penned. I did not expect to also learn about gender, sexuality, and survival within the sphere of metastastic racism in our society.

The White Tree (book one): In Mallon the dark magic of the nether has been banned for centuries. Its users have been driven out or killed. Its secrets lost.

The nethermancers aren't gone—and they want their book back. Caught between death cultists and the law, Dante fights for his life, aided by his growing skills and a brash bodyguard named Blays.

loveable characters with complex twists
Revisado: 11-15-19
Fab 5, Meryl Streep, original music, hilarious characters (I think I counted at least 4 by Kate herself), and an enticing story arc brings this episodic epic together. Quick & dirty -- like Odin's lovemaking (you'll get the joke in later episodes). Enjoy!

Historia
At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.
