Audiobook Review: Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major
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. This book was written before the horrific attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, yet all of the facts about Israel and its Middle East neighbors still… Keep Reading
Book Review: Prima Facie by Suzie Miller
Thank you to Henry Holt Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. When I saw the brilliant Jodie Comer perform the role of Tessa in the play of ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข ๐๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ฆ on Broadway, I was completely blown away. And now the… Keep Reading
Book Review: The Half Moon by Mary Beth Keane
Thank you to Scribner Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ is a quietly beautiful novel about marriage and a failing bar, set over the course of one week.

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. This powerful and moving book sheds light on the little-known (at least to me) experiences of women who served in the Vietnam War. Like the author, I was in elementary and… Keep Reading

Iโve been feeling the urge to read WWII historical fiction to try and understand how ordinary people can become so hateful toward their fellow man.

Audiobook Review: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
“She was crying for it all at lastโfor the pain and loss and fear and anger, for the war and what it had done to her and to all of them, for the knowledge of evil she could never shake, for the horror of where sheโd been and what sheโd done to survive.โ What… Keep Reading
Audiobook Review: The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
Loved the audiobook of The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store! I want to compliment the narrator Dominic Hoffman who conquered the dialects of both the African-American characters and the immigrant Jewish characters. The book begins with the discovery of both a skeleton and a mezuzah in a well, and then flashes back to the… Keep Reading
Book Review: My Name is Iris by Brando Skyhorse
WHY ISNโT EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS BOOK?! Set in an all-too-real dystopian future in an unnamed border state, this absolutely chilling book explores the dark side of America and the horrific effects of racist immigration policies. Chilling because so many of the terrible events in this fictional book are very real. Our main character… Keep Reading
