Historia
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Really slow start, but glad I saw. It through!

I love the idea of the parallel universes and being able to see what your life could be like in different ways. It’s so intriguing to think about, but then realize that the life you are living is actually the one that is best for you. I’m so glad I didn’t give up and DNF this

Love the story. Just picked up a similar book after reading this one. Thank you for the story, provoking thought, and leaving me satisfied with the ending, while still wishing there was more.

Historia
When Petey Corbin is born in 1920, no one knows about cerebral palsy. After struggling to care for her frail infant who is often racked by seizures, Petey's mother reluctantly places him in an asylum. There, he is labeled an idiot and ignored.

As he learns to understand Petey's garbled sounds, Calvin becomes his spokesman and best friend.

Adolescents always come through
Revisado: 07-31-21
It is so hard to believe that as a society we used to place people with physical disabilities in insane asylums. This story was such a powerful example of how just listening and being there for another person changes us. It also shows how it often takes a special young person to truly understand those who are different and not treat them differently. Such a powerful story.

Great story - hard to follow.
Revisado: 03-01-21
This is an excellent story of the people of Ghana, the slave trade in Africa and America, and the history of a family. The history was great information on a learning continuum. I learned new information about slaves and slavery in both countries. There were so many characters to follow that I honestly got confused who was who and how they were related. At times, I stopped worrying about the relation and just followed the story of the single person.

First hand account from a partner
Revisado: 02-06-21
I liked that the book was narrated by the author. It helped me feel her emotion throughout the story. I liked the information included from NAMI. The point of view of how mental illness impacts family members is so often overlooked. Thank you for telling all sides of this story. Recommend for anyone who has a partner or family member with bipolar disorder or any mental illness. I chose this book as part of BOOKIES DIVERSEATHON yearly book thin to encourage readers to read books outside their typical genre. So glad I did.

Historia
Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in LA alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet.

Loved the multi narration!

This was a quick listen for me because I was engaged from the start. I really enjoyed the story from both character’s points of view, rather than just one. The dual narration was also helpful!

Great recommend! Thank you Bookies!

Bookies, Facebook fan page, picked a good one with Still Missing! It's one of few audiobooks that I didn't have to restart multiple times! The story was engaging right from the start and I didn't figure out the whodoneit ahead of time. I am always with the police suspecting the boyfriend/husband! Great read!

Too much going on to follow
Revisado: 04-30-17
The plot was good, but the women narrators voices were too similar and that leads to confusion.
