That is quite a collection. I am amazed at how many audiobooks you listened to!! Lots of books on your list I would like to read like Rebel Queen for our Travel the World in Books reading challenge. My cohost was giving a copy away and it looked so good!
ReplyDeleteRebel Queen is an amazing book I highly recommend it! I am lucky enough to be able to listen to audiobooks while I work!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tanya's amazement! Looking over your list, I feel like I can barely read the above-the-fold headlines at newspaper kiosks! Thanks for the inclusion--and for your consistent clarity. I'm going to have to take a close look at some of your recommendations..."Blunder Woman" isn't exactly in my wheelhouse, but I love the title and your review...Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks James,Blunder Woman was different for me too but I found it wonderful and highly recommend the audio!
