Astonishing truths from someone who has been there

Revisado: 05-07-24

Health Anxiety - Dr Google paralysis.. we are all dealing with mega issues to the point that obsessing over every possible health threat is consuming many of us. Caroline Crampton experienced Hodgkins Lymphoma before she was 20 years old and tells us first hand what it is like to survive then live with the constant vigilance produced by such a threat and the traumas of treatment. Her research and reporting on the history of hypochondria and how it effects every aspect of a life, how it is misunderstood and causes missed-diagnosis that only adds to the fear.. There are also excellent descriptions of what it is like to deal with chronic pain as in severe endometriosis that is not taken seriously by many medical professionals. At the end.. there is a good analysis of the hope available through EMDR - which many people have not yet heard of even though it has been around for over 30 years.. There is comfort and encouragement to be found in this book.

As a PTA lifer this book brought so much joy to me. Witty, smooth, and a great class mom.
I think every room mom needs to read this, it’s very relatable and I can only dream to be so bold in my own class emails.

Finally..a series that ticks all of my boxes

Revisado: 06-03-19

Cozy contemporary not weird or offensive.. just good company, almost perfect narrator.. sometimes does not change voices when two men are talking so a little hard to follow but otherwise very easy on the ears. More please.

Very formulaic but exactly what I needed!

Needed something light and cozy and HAD to be in the Cotswolds. This was the perfect thing to have playing through my hearing aids on an otherwise difficult day. Can’t beat the price !

some bad history

Forest Gump turns 100. Some bad history. Harry Truman knew nothing about the Manhattan Project until after Roosevelt's death. Overall enjoyable.

May be my favorite Brunetti

Revisado: 04-06-16

Have read or listened to Donna Leon's Brunetti series all within the last 18 months. Those in the middle of the series Gita little too dark for me and I skipped a few. I loved this one .. Has been good company for spring cleaning, gardening and driving. I listen a lot through the night so miss a lot and enjoy the ease of relistening with the Audible app.

Excellent detective series in a contemporary cozy manner.

WISH the early books were available on Audible. They exist but can not be sold in the USA .

Lovely winter read

Revisado: 01-30-15

Have been through a long list looking for a soothing book to listen to while I have serious illness going on around me. This has been a perfect book to distract me as I tend to the chores of daily living. I have started several others if the genres I normally listen to and just could not get into them. I do wish audible would offer the rest of Rosamnde Pilcher's books in unabridged format . I listen to them not to get to the end of the book but to have a companion during my day. Cutting a 13 hour book down to 3 or 4 will never entice me to buy it.
