Historia
In Find Me the Votes, two years of immersive reporting by Isikoff and Klaidman has produced the most authoritative and dramatic account yet of a defeated president’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and how a local Georgia prosecutor—a daughter of the civil rights movement—decided to indict him and his allies for his desperate attempt to hold on to power. From the beginning, Fani Willis saw Donald Trump’s crimes as a voting rights case, and an attempt by the former president to deprive the citizens of Georgia of the franchise, a right for which her forebears had bled.

Badass
Revisado: 02-17-24
A thorough book highlighting a portion of the insanity brought on by deplorable characters trying to further their fake reality.
Fani Willis is a major badass and hero charging against the ever-frustrating, anti-American injustices happening throughout this country, IMO.

Stark reality

Moving story of facing injustices still not widely known and still immensely relevant.
This book shook me and changed me.
Perkins-Valdez did her homework-we all should.

Historia
Generations of Montrose women—Augusta, Victoria, Willow—have lived together in their quaint two-story bungalow in California for years. They keep to themselves, never venture far from home, and their collection of tinctures and spells is an unspoken bond between them. But when seventeen-year-old Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, their quiet lives are thrown into disarray. For the other women have been withholding a secret from Nickie that will end her relationship before it’s even begun: the decades-old family curse that any person they fall in love with dies.

Narration was excellent
Revisado: 12-10-23
This family story and wonderful narration were truly engaging. I especially loved the feminine power in living, loving and unconditional hope theme.
I've enjoyed the narrator in other books and decided to read this book because of her.

Historia
For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.) Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too.

Enjoyable escape and excellent narration
Revisado: 11-21-23
I easily became immersed in this enjoyable story as it highlighted the beauties of every-day romance, summoning up courage and tackling important issues. It made me smile, a lot, and even made me tear up.
I can see myself reading it again and definitely will recommend.

Cassidy Hutchinson's account is astounding
Revisado: 10-31-23
What a remarkable young lady; Hopefully one who can continue to make a bipartisian difference to the American people.
Ms. Hutchinson's testimony regarding Trump's "stop the steel" "behavior", her eventual January 6 committee truths, will stay with me a long time. I appreciated her insights and understand her need to preserve her republican beliefs explanations, personal history and all.
With that said, the book did not touch upon, highlight or even elude to much of the Trump campaigning and administration chaos otherwise. Hutchinson's Enough did little justice to the enough I am seeking of this chaos.
There are definitely other books for that I suppose.

Could not stop listening
Revisado: 10-10-23
I could not stop listening; and, I needed the book to end. That's how intense this book was for me. The powerful theme of Pretty Girls left me raw and feeling vulnerable because of how realistic the subject matter is in general (regardless of how extreme these characters might seem).
I will definitely read books written by Karen Slaughter again, but with intermissions. This much heart pounding is enough for a while. It's hard to image all her books would not be as well written, thought provoking, and engrossing as this one.

A modern American classic and a family saga that spans decades, this is the story of the volatile Tom Wingo, his brilliant but troubled twin sister, Savannah, and the complex and damaging family legacy they share. Moving between the sparkling glamour of New York City and the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country, The Prince of Tides is Pat Conroy’s masterwork.

Revisado: 10-05-23
I enjoyed this book and finished easily. The flow was smooth and the characters so well defined.
The Winco's lives, situations, and their connections to the world evoked understanding of how things come about for people and how things could happen to anyone given the right mix of circumstances, only after pondering how some things do happen in life.

Historia
Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives in southern Appalachia. At the heart of these intertwined narratives is a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches them from an isolated mountain cabin where she is caught off-guard by Eddie Bondo, a young hunter who comes to invade her most private spaces and her solitary life.

A summer to always remember
Revisado: 09-17-23
A summer like no other and the memories of it will linger, soothe and ground.
I love the women characters. All of them. Whether their deep souls or vibrant passions or both.
I love the birds opening each chapter.
I love the coyotes and bugs and goats and plants and trees...oh my!
The humor was so very caressing, a gift.
Yes, I too will relisted to Prodigal Summer. I kept relistening to certain passages simply for the beauty of the graceful wording.
Audible has been a new part of my life for a few years now and I love the escape and worldly journeys I experience through this new way of "reading". Prodigal Summer is truly icing on the cake of this experience.

Revisado: 09-12-23
This is a beautiful story with beautiful narration. I could visualize beyond the words easily and was calmed and engrossed from beginning to end.
For me, I am reminded that the great truths of our hearts, when expressed, when considered, when recalled, when shared and when defined, make living so deeply significant.

A fresh start. That's what Becca hoped the move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin would be for her troubled family. A way to get her crumbling marriage back on track, and to bond with her difficult 16-year-old stepdaughter. But instead of a new beginning, Becca is thrust into a mysterious past she barely remembers. A past that includes the complications of interacting with her old teenage crush, Daniel, as well as living in her aunt's old house. A house with a violent past. A house the locals swear is haunted.

Waited until I was finished with all three books to review. I did not see the movie.
I like the interesting story lines
that provided me with the escape and suspense I enjoyed for about five straight days.
