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.

Diana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She’s an associate specialist at Sotheby’s now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She’s not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos - days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time.

I love Jodi, but...
Revisado: 12-24-21
I'm so sorry to say that she could have done so much more with the storyline. Note: if you're afraid to read it because of the topic, there's no need to be afraid or worried.
I've read every one of her books and always pre-order.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

but I couldn’t. Delivery was very slow an monotone, ironically. Wished it didn’t hop back & forth in time so much. Supposed to be biography but most songs after that story didn’t seem to show that. Some were even instrumental. Maybe I don’t pay enough attention?

Before becoming America's first-ever female network chief meteorologist or appearing on Dancing with the Stars, ABC News's Ginger Zee checked herself into a mental health hospital.
Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. I Am One. is Ginger's heartbreaking, hilarious, and harshly honest life story - from Dickhead's (you won't soon forget that name) deck on Lake Michigan to her storm-chasing dream at ABC News.

3.5 Could’ve gotten deeper to fight “D” stigma
Revisado: 03-18-19
3.5. Only book I ever HAD to listen on regular speed vs faster. I liked Ginger’s book, and there are a handful of “to remember“ quotes, but it could have been so much better. I remember her from her Chicago days. I like her a lot & admire her accomplishments. I’m glad she wrote what she did, but it needed more emotional depth. Depression “focus” was skimmed over too much. It was supposed to help fight the stigma, I believe. I’m not sure it did. It may have hurt it. For Ginger, depression seemed to have been cured, and all’s well that ends well with a happily ever after. (That’s not a spoiler.) That doesn’t fight the stigma. Hopefully she’ll write part two.

What Jack needs is an excuse to leave town. Ever since rescuing four teenagers from a car wreck, he's been hailed as a hero and the attention is making him itchy, especially since his too-pretty ex-wife is back, angling for a reunion. He's always liked Emmaline. She needs a weekend date? No problem. So when they wind up in bed together, Em chalks it up to red wine and chocolate cake, just one impulsive night not to be repeated. But Jack's pushing for more.

I’ve listened to 13 KH books so far (all in the Romance Package), including her other series. 5 starts to all but one. This deserves 6 stars!! Definitely more compelling than the others! One more Blue Heron to go. I’ll miss these guys!! Then on to the rest of KH books. I wish they all were in the Romance Package!

This heartfelt Audible Original, narrated by Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker, follows three military veterans as they reclaim their most painful memories and turn them into comedy. Michael Garvey, Isaura Ramirez, and Patrick Harth left combat zones to challenge themselves in a stand-up comedy boot camp. As they learn to transform their raw emotions into cathartic experiences, they face the daunting challenge of trying to make an audience laugh with jokes about war, trauma, and mental health.

Worse than the first volume and twice as long. No continual music this time. All but 2 are useless, uninteresting facts/things.
