After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

This book was impossible to put down (or pause!) The story was engaging and devastating. I love listening to Bahni Turpin, and as always, she made this book even better.

She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral. Now, she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words.

I thank Ms. Miller for sharing her words and her experience. I remember following this story in the news and feeling sick to my stomach and furious. I appreciate her ability and willingness to share.

A remarkable, true story about raising an unusually challenging child, in this case one who struggles to reciprocate love. Unfolding over nearly 20 years, Raising a Thief focuses on the struggles of a Russian orphan Sonya, mistreated early in life and ultimately diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, and the family that adopted and tried to raise her.

Great story
Revisado: 02-21-22
I loved this story and the vulnerability of him sharing it. It was brave to share something so personal - that didn’t have a happy ending or a trial overcome. The audio was honestly pretty terrible (my guess is that it wasn’t professionally recorded?) but the content made it worth listening to.

What would we do without Nora?
Revisado: 02-03-22
Grief is a tricky experience - and one we would rather avoid. Unfortunately, we don’t get to. Thankfully, there are people like Nora who can guide us and reassure us and make things a little less terrible.

No Happy Endings is an audiobook for people living life after life has fallen apart. It’s an audiobook for people who know they’re moving forward, not moving on. It’s an audiobook for people who know life isn’t always happy, but it isn’t the end: There will be unimaginable joy and incomprehensible tragedy. As Nora reminds us, there will be no happy endings - but there will be new beginnings.

I love Nora and her story. I love her vulnerability in sharing it. I am always a fan of authors who read their own audiobooks.

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

Beautiful and heartbreaking
Revisado: 08-20-18
It’s difficult to come up with words for this book. It is a wonderful story, beautifully told, but it feels far from fiction. This story will break your heart with the reality it explains. Absolutely worth a listen.
