Pony has been passed from owner to owner for longer than he can remember. Fed up, he busts out and goes on a cross-country mission to reunite with Penny, the little girl whom he was separated from and hasn’t seen in years. Penny, now an adult, is living an ordinary life when she gets a knock on her door and finds herself in handcuffs, accused of murder and whisked back to the place she grew up. Her only comfort when the past comes back to haunt her are the memories of her precious, rebellious pony.

With no word for “gay” in Arabic, Luma may not have known what to call the feelings she had growing up in Jordan during the 1980’s, but she knew well enough to keep them secret. It was clear that not only would her family have trouble accepting who she was, but trapped in a religious society, she could also be killed if anyone discovered she was gay. Luma spent her teenage years increasingly desperate to find a way out. After two suicide attempts, she finally realizes that to survive, she must leave the Middle East for good.

Beauty and pain are woven together in this powerful memoir. I enjoy reading books that teach me new perspectives, especially with a good dose of humanity, and this book provided that in spades.

When Jezebel learns she can't be a king like her father simply because she’s a girl, she vows never to become someone’s decorative wife, nameless and lost to history. At fifteen she’s married off, despite her protests, to Prince Ahab of Israel. There, she does what she must to gain power and remake the dry and distant kingdom in the image of her beloved, prosperous seaside homeland of Tyre, beginning by building temples to the gods she grew up worshipping. As her initiatives usher in an era of prosperity for Israel, her new subjects love her, and her name rings through the land.

Best narrator anywhere
Revisado: 12-04-23
Like another reviewer said, I came for Perdita Weeks and stayed for the story. If you enjoyed Circe, you'll love this reimagining of the story of Jezebel. I didn't really know the biblical story but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment of it. Richly told, relatively fast paced.

As the only Indian American kid in her small town, Lekha Divekar feels like she has two versions of herself: Home Lekha, who loves watching Bollywood movies and eating Indian food, and School Lekha, who pins her hair over her bindi birthmark and avoids confrontation at all costs, especially when someone teases her for being Indian. When a girl Lekha’s age moves in across the street, Lekha is excited to hear that her name is Avantika and she’s Desi, too! Finally, there will be someone else around who gets it.

Predictable but enjoyable!
Revisado: 06-18-23
I listened to this because my 11 yo daughter was reading it for an online kids book club discussion. I learned a lot! The story is thoughtfully told, with predictable yet enjoyable growth of the main characters. Narrator was excellent! Helped me understand pronunciation of certain words and names.

In Thunderstruck, Erik Larson tells the interwoven stories of two men: Hawley Crippen, a very unlikely murderer, and Guglielmo Marconi, the obsessive creator of a seemingly supernatural means of communication. Their lives intersect during one of the greatest criminal chases of all time.

For lovers of historical detail, scientific discov
Revisado: 01-18-22
Many (most?) readers may find the buildup to the amazing revelations in the final 25% of the story too much of a slog...unless the reader truly revels in historical details and the trial-and-error of scientific discovery. I, for one, am fascinated by Marconi's journey and eventual recognition with a Nobel Prize in Physics. The story of Crippen, meanwhile, was only impactful to me once I realized the gravity of what he had done and had almost escaped.
The performance is narrated by Bob Balaban, an American actor whose roles in Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration, played an unfortunate bias in my enjoyment of the production. I kept picturing him as one of those mockumentary characters and although he is excellent at what he does, my brain distracted me.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

A rare gift to humanity
Revisado: 11-17-19
Listening to the author read his own work adds a level of beauty to an already beautifully told story. I was moved to tears throughout. I had planned to only listen to the Audible version but found the words so meaningful, I had to buy a copy of the book so I could read it and absorb the words.
