I don't know who thought listeners would want constant stock sound effects and "music" but newsflash: they don't.

Historia
In a first-class lounge at JFK airport, our narrator listens as Jeff Cook, a former classmate he only vaguely remembers, shares the uncanny story of his adult life—a life that changed course years before, the moment he resuscitated a drowning man. Jeff reveals that after that traumatic, galvanizing morning on the beach, he was compelled to learn more about the man whose life he had saved, convinced that their fates were now entwined.

Original and Fun
Revisado: 01-29-24
Love love loved this. Audiobook is great too. It was a fun, quick adventure. Once you catch on to the style, it's like being the sh*t end of a tandem bike: you just sit back and enjoy the effortless ride. The atmosphere of the airport is so vivid, it makes you want to wash your hands. Read this!

Historia
America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

I loved the simplicity of the dialog and relationship between The Man and his son while surrounded by endless danger and uncertainty. This book is all about the characters and how they relate to each other and to their world. I love character-driven stories.

Historia
Adam chose to meet life’s tough breaks and cruel realities with stand-up comedy; his older sister, Anna, chose law; while their youngest sister, Lydia, struggled to find her place in the world. Beautiful and whip-smart, Lydia was witty, extremely sensitive, fiercely stubborn, and always somewhat haunted. She and Adam bonded over comedy from a young age, running skits in their basement and obsessing over episodes of The Simpsons.

This Book Is For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved Anyone
Revisado: 01-06-24
Okay. So I finally carved out the emotional time to ingest this in one feast. This book broke my heart and then pieced it back together again. There aren't many books that come through your life that can make you quietly cry for hours and yet, somehow, laugh outloud. This is one of those rare breeds. Completely void of any puffery or disingenuous musings, Adam's prose is startlingly beautiful at times and always unflinching. Read this book. Better yet, listen to it read by the author. This book is a privilege to experience. I will never forget it. Thank you Adam.

Historia
The year is 1938. The newly installed communist government of Mongolia, under orders from Moscow, has launched a nation-wide purge. Before it ends, nearly a 10th of the country’s population will be murdered. A young nomadic herdswoman named Sendmaa falls in love with Baasan, a talented and handsome Buddhist lama. Baasan resolves to leave the priesthood and marry Sendmaa, but her scheming neighbor persuades Baasan’s brother, Bold, to ask for Sendmaa's hand in marriage first. Their love triangle is engulfed by tragedy when Mongolia’s Stalin moves to crush the Buddhist faith.

Oliver Wyman's performance
Revisado: 01-06-24
Please excuse me while I fangirl over my favorite voice artist. I promise to get to the book. If you haven't heard a book performed by Oliver Wyman, stop your life and pick any book he's read that interests you (A Little Life is an amazzzzing performance but an emotionally difficult book). I promise you whatever book you listen to will be elevated by his performance. His voices and ability to get you to FEEL and get lost in the story is unparalleled. Plus there is something about his voice that makes it easy to fall asleep to (in a good way) if you're into being read to sleep like a toddler, as I am.
Okay, now for the book. I liked it. It could get a little slow here and there. But it kept my attention and taught me a bit about a culture and time in history I don't know much about. I would recommend this. Check it out and see what you think.

Historia
Emery Hazard and his husband, John-Henry Somerset, are settling into their new normal - at home, with the latest addition to their family, and at work, as Somers adapts to his new role and Hazard manages his expanding agency. The only thing Hazard is worried about is getting through dinner with his in-laws. When his father-in-law requests that Hazard and Somers join him for a weekend deer hunting, it sounds simple enough: Spend a night camping, give their foster son a chance to spend time with his friend, and prevent a parental kidnapping. But nothing is ever as simple as it sounds.

Historia
Everything in Emery Hazard’s life is finally going well: His boyfriend, Nico, is crazy about him; he has a loyal partner at work; and he has successfully closed a series of difficult murders. By all accounts, he should be happy. What he can’t figure out, then, is why he’s so damn miserable. After a fight with Nico, Hazard needs work to take his mind off his relationship. And someone in town is happy to oblige by murdering the sheriff. The job won’t be easy; the sheriff had enemies, lots of them, and narrowing down the list of suspects will be difficult. Difficult, but routine.

Historia
It's almost Christmas, and Emery Hazard finds himself face to face with his own personal nightmare: going on a double date with his partner - and boyhood crush - John-Henry Somerset. Hazard brings his boyfriend; Somers brings his estranged wife. When a strange call interrupts dinner, however, Hazard and his partner become witnesses to a shooting. The victims: Somers' father and the daughter of a high school friend. The crime is inexplicable. There is no apparent motive, no connection between the victims, and no explanation for how the shooter reached his targets.

I am, once again, soothing away the pains of the world by bingeing my favorite series from its beginning. I just have to say: swoon. Swoon swoon swoon swoon swoon swoon and swoon.
"Love wasn't a choice. It was collision. It was catastrophe."
These boys have my whole entire heart.
If you haven't tried this brilliant, hilarious, and moving series, please rectify this immediately.
