What did you love best about A Higher Call?

What did you love best about Saving Ceecee Honeycutt?

He hooked me from the very beginning with perfect pace & characters you care about.

What other book might you compare Saving Ceecee Honeycutt to and why?

Joshilyn Jackson novels because of the multitude of quirky Southern characters in her novels & this novel and also because of the humor being very similar to that of Joshilyn Jackson novels.

What about Jenna Lamia’s performance did you like?

LOVE, love, love Jenna Lamia in everything she does. I actually chose this book because I love Jenna Lamia's voice so I thought I'd give the book a shot. Jenny Lamia can make even a not-so-good book tolerable, but this book combined with Jenna Lamia's voice= perfection!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene with the hummingbird, but I can't say more without posting a spoiler. :D

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! It hooked me from the very beginning!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Between, Georgia?

I can't say without spoiling the book, but I will say there are several memorable moments so it would be hard to pick just one anyway.

What does Joshilyn Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love listening to an auther-read audiobook because they add inflection where they intended it to be & you get the full intention of the author when they are the ones reading it. There were several scenarios that I think I interpreted just the way Joshilyn Jackson intended, but may not have had I read the book myself.

If you could rename Between, Georgia, what would you call it?

Where does Gods in Alabama rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

God in Alabama is near the top of the list.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gods in Alabama?

The ending.

What about Catherine Taber’s performance did you like?

Her voice seemed to fit perfectly as that of the main character. Her inflection and tone mirrored what the character seemed to be feeling at the time perfectly.

If you could take any character from Gods in Alabama out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Aunt Florence because there were a lot of things about her left unanswered.

Where does The Rebel Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Rebel Wife is probably a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. It was good enough that I wanted to finish it, but not so good that I was hooked & had to listen with every free second I had like other books I've really, really enjoyed.

What did you like best about this story?

The best part of this story was the history lesson it provided. While I've read many Civil War era novels, I haven't read many Reconstruction era novels, so that was interesting.

What aspect of Johanna Parker’s performance would you have changed?

I would've changed the monotonous tone of the narrator. I realize that the main character's state of mind throughout most of the book required that, but I felt it was slightly overdone & there was little inflection/feeling/passion where it seemed there should have been some.

If you could take any character from The Rebel Wife out to dinner, who would it be and why?

The main character because she was quite a contradiction- both fragile & tough, naive, but wise.

If you could sum up Constant Princess in three words, what would they be?

Engaging, informative, feminist

What did you like best about this story?

The strength & determination of Catherine

What does Jill Tanner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator makes you feel as if you are listening to Catherine herself & you understand more about her intentions & why she was so determined.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were 2 moments that most moved me- when her baby dies & the very end (last paragraphs) of the book when we see her defiance in its full glory.

Any additional comments?

I loved this book! I went against the voice put in the back of my mind by some of the other reviewers & bought this book anyway. I ended up loving it & I couldn't get enough & i must say that I'm a very discriminating reader (listener). If something doesn't capture me from the beginning, there's very little hope of me finishing. This book never lost my interest despite some of the other reviewers saying there were parts that they felt dragged on. I also read a lot of reviews that seemed to suggest they disliked the parts of the book where Catherine spoke in the 1st person, but I rather enjoyed those parts. Maybe this book isn't perfectly historically accurate (was she a virgin or not?), but does anyone read historical fiction & expect it to be as *perfectly* accurate as a history book? That's where the
