I've been meaning to try this dramatized full-cast production for so long. Why did I wait this long? It is absolutely FANTASTIC! Gosh, I so love Anne Shirley! ☺️
This is a star studded cast. Marillia, is portrayed by the legendary Catherine O'Hara. Matthew, by the fabulous Victor Garber and Anne is portrayed brilliantly by the wonderful Michela Luci. If you adore Anne of Green Gables this audio is a must!

A charming and heartfelt story with some elements of Christian fiction. I listened to the audible and enjoyed it.
This is a dual time line story. One taking place in 1976 and one in present day. The 1976 timeline was my favourite. I loved listening about Rebecca Saint James who was the 'Queen of Etiquette and dinner parties' in her little town of Beaufort, North Carolina. One day Rebecca and her husband, Townsend (who we hear from in a couple of chapters of his own) disappear after a dinner party. Their children are distraught and shut-up the home for almost 50 years. In the present time her Granddaughter, Keaton shows up to finally put the house up for sale. She walks into a home that has been untouched since 1976. She also finds her Grandmother's diary of recipes and etiquette and begins to read it. Keaton is dealing from a heartbreak and her Grandmother's diary and the small town will help her to heal and learn to live again and quite possibly love again too.
I loved reading about Rebecca Saint James' story. I couldn't quite put the pieces together about her disappearance until near the end. I also loved the town of Beaufort and all the sweet townspeople. Keaton's story was a little on the slower side and it took me a bit to warm to her. I'm still not quite sure I liked the way the story ended. It took away from the story a little for me hence minus the half a star.
I enjoyed the author's style of writing and the overall message left me with a warm feeling when I finished the book....more

I like this duo's writing capability. I chose to listen to this on Audible. I must say I loved Erin Mallon's narration. She really brought this one to life for me.
The story is good and I always wanted to keep listening. It's told in a then and now format. Elliot and Macy meet as teenagers and fall in love. We hear their backstory. They are quite sweet. In the present timeline they meet by a fluke encounter and eventually find their way back to eachother.
There were some aspects to this story that I do not care for in my romances. That brought it down a little for me. I was anticipating finding out why they broke up so long ago. Some of it did not sit well with me either. I think I'm left with some questions about this one. All in all it was a pretty good one for me and I'd still try another Christina Lauren book....more

A short story inspired by the overturning of Roe v Wade in the United States.
This is a futuristic type of story about men becoming pregnant. The tables are turned in every scenario. Kind of humorous but serious at the same time. Very thought provoking and interesting no matter what side of the fence you are on. The message is excellent.

I listened to the audio and It looks like I'm in Outlier land with this one! It's been getting a lot of high ratings and I was really anticipating it.
I listened to the audio and the narration is top-notch. In the beginning I was really captivated by the story. I was trying to figure out just what Evie was up to and what was going to happen with her and Ryan. It was going pretty well and then the flashbacks to Evie's other jobs started to happen. I did not enjoy those at all. I understand where the author was going adding in the back history but I think they were confusing. Then James and Lucca appeared in the story and I thought, "Oh yeah now this is getting good!" Then BAM! They were gone and the story took a nosedive. I really couldn't wait to finish it.
I do think with the right amount of tweaking this could work well as a limited series perhaps on Netflix. I'd watch it. For me this book had great potential but just ended up being ok. Nothing special for me and I don't get the hype ...more

Really enjoyed the Audio! Beautiful writing that pulls on the heartstrings!
This is a dual time line and it's written very well. The time lines just flow together ever so nicely. This book reminds me just why dual time line stories are some of my favourites!
The first time line is in 1951 where we meet 16 year old Edie and her friend Lucy. They are from different neighbourhoods but go to the same school in their small town in England. They are not friends at first but quickly grow close. The second time line is in 2018 and Edie's memory is declining. She is now 82 years old. She thinks she sees her friend outside of the post office in her small town. But Lucy has not been seen for almost 70 years.
I don't want to give too much away but there's a mystery to be solved and each chapter gives you more and more tidbits. There are also some social issues and family drama in the mix. I loved the ending! I am looking forward to reading more books from this author!

A good novella from Amazon Audible Originals. A freebie (from the plus catalogue) that kept me listening on my morning walk today.
This story is told through a series of letters and e-mails. An overzealous fan begins to write letters to an up and coming Hollywood starlet (Seraphina). At first the letters are charming but soon turn dark. Seraphina's security begins to investigate.
This one has a good twist for such a short story. The narrators do a great job.

This one worked wonderfully on audio with all the snippets of different characters and their thoughts.
It was wonderful to hear Caitlin and Victoria's (Vicks') story. Two girls from different backgrounds who meet at school and then spend their childhood summers on Martha's Vineyard. I especially enjoyed the younger years part of the story because YES Judy Blume is THE QUEEN when it comes to children and adolescents!
A perfect summer story ☀️⛱️

In 1811 in Richmond, Virginia there was a horrific fire at the theatre where many people were attending a play. Many perished and most of them were women. The story focuses on 4 people and how the fire affected their lives.

Cecily, is a slave who accompanies her mistress to the theatre. She gets out but is presumed dead.
Gilbert, is a slave who performs a heroic act that night.
I listened to the audio and was deeply moved by the story especially knowing it was a true story. It's a story that will make you sad and angry and one that brings out the good and bad in people.

I decided on the audible and for the most part I did enjoy it.
It's a good and entertaining story but for me it did not live up to the hype. It started off really strong and while I was enjoying the mystery it got a little too far fetched for my liking. However I was never bored.
I'm looking forward to the Apple TV series. I have a feeling this one will play out nicely on the little screen....more
