A P&P story worth listening to!
Revisado: 07-02-24
This was an incredible book! Not only was the original P&P in discussion, but the Pakistani culture was on full display, and the reader was immersed into this world and the characters. It was a non-stop listen for me, and definitely a new favorite book and listen! The narrator is excellent to boot!

Historia
When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. Over the course of the journey, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades.

Truly a masterpiece
Revisado: 01-13-24
Andrew McCarthy’s walk with his son is full of introspection, honest reflection, the daily realities of life with people (chosen or otherwise)—all set at a quick pace through Spain. All characters, whether main stories or brief appearances, are richly multi-dimensional. All I can say is: thank you for this book. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

Historia
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Historia
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.

Perfect rom-com book
Revisado: 02-11-23
These characters were delightful, flawed, insecure, and had the ability to grow and learn. The interesting situation which brought them together and the way the leads tried (and failed) were realistic and the ending oh so satisfying. Brava, KC!!

Historia
In these 10 eye-opening lectures by a practicing doctor and medical educator, you’ll walk through a series of medical mystery cases ripped from history and involving well-known historical figures whose identities are nevertheless hidden from you. Every one of these cases requires you to use your detective skills to identify and diagnose the mystery patient just like the doctors that attended them. In the process, you’ll learn fascinating insights into medicine: both the medicine that was practiced thousands of years ago and the medicine doctors practice today.

Great stories!

Great and interesting stories! The history of the illness and how it was treated (and how treatment was developed!) was just as interesting as the person revealed!

Historia
The stockings are hanging ready, the sherry and pies are waiting by the fireplace - but where is the jolly fat man with his sack? It's not right to find Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say 'Ho ho ho'—but someone's got to bring the little kiddies their presents. Or else they might stop believing. Belief is important in Discworld, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning. If the real man in the red suit isn't found by morning, there won't be a morning. Ever again....

This is my second Terry Pratchett and I was again wildly entertained. Death as Substitute Santa? Check. An assassin after Santa? A lot of people pulled into the whirlwind? Check.

Historia
Towards Zero: What is the connection among a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player? To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. Ordeal By Innocence: According to the courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence was life imprisonment.

Historia
Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's "private collection". Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.

Historia
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Excellent!
Revisado: 08-28-21
The story was excellent, though perhaps predictable at times, with interesting glimpses into different careers, generous discussions of deeper topics (no spoilers) without feeling flippant. The story has good dialogue and many different characters, with enough insight into each to feel fleshed out- the main character is especially relatable. Philippa Soo’s narration is perfection. I’d listen again!
