My subscription to Everand has been a treasure trove this month! Cesca Majorโs gem of an audiobook ๐๐ข๐บ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐น๐ต ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ is now one of my favorites! Iโve seen the movie ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐จ ๐๐ข๐บ probably a dozen times at least so the comparison to that movie really piqued my interest in this book. I also love… Keep Reading
Audiobook Review: Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth by Noa Tishby
In this highly educational book, Noa Tishby presents the long history and current-day state of affairs of Israel in a very conversational and lively manner.

Audiobook Review: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

Audiobook Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah
Julia Whelan and Kristin Hannah are a winning combination for me and I was thoroughly captivated by Whelanโs narration of the โThe Womenโ.

Audiobook Review: The Woman in Me by Britney Spears
Britney Spearsโ autobiography is a real-life Southern Gothic tale. I was prepared for the sadness and the rage she rightfully expresses at her family and the various people who have let her down during her life. I was not expecting the generational trauma which explains a lot about her very dysfunctional family. Her early… Keep Reading
