The Woolly Hat Knitting Club by Poppy Dolan

Narrated by: Lizzie Wofford This was an unexpectedly splendid book. As my disclaimer at the end also announces, my review of this is obviously affected by my need to be involved in some personal craft project or the other. That said, this book should appeal to everyone because it provides a window into a world…

Answer Creek by Ashley E. Sweeney

Narrated by Laci Morgan I picked this book up because I wanted to try something new. I did not know much about the history of the travels and trials of the 'settlers' who moved to the west coast through the breadth of the continent of the now United States.The blurb is very accurate in painting…

The Icepick Surgeon by Sam Kean

The author of this book has a podcast; this is something that is iterated at multiple sections of the book. It felt odd to interrupt plotlines to redirect attention to a podcast, so it stuck with me this long after having listened to the book. I think his research probably has the capacity to become…

Coming Home to Seashell Harbor by Miranda Liasson

Narrated by Kate Marcin I am always up for listening to a light book in the midst of other harder-hitting books.

Narrators: Christina Traister , Sarah Naughton , Peter Simonelli I have reviewed this book on the heels of another pair of women in a sort-of borrowed car. I thought they went together in their own way. I normally do not look out for such threads or connections because if I got into it, it would mean a lot more…

A New Life for Ariana Byrne (The Hiverton Sisters, #1) by Liz Hurley

Narrated by: Martha Mackintosh When I first started listening to this book, I was afraid I would not like it. The rating that I finally gave it is reflective of how rarely such a visceral first reaction changes.In the first chapter, we see our protagonist, Ariana, having a fight with her husband. It is not…

Freedman/Johnson #1,#2 #3 by Laila Ibrahim

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin I listened to the first book in the series a while before I started on the next. Every time I finished one and was about to write a review, I realised there was another release in the series and thought it would make sense to review them altogether. As their titles indicate,…

A Stranger at the Door (Rachel Marin Thriller #2) by Jason Pinter

I reviewed the previous book of the series : here Narrated by: Angela Dawe This book picks up right where we left off. Rachel is in a stable relationship, has some kind of official ties to the police, but things are about to change.First, we are introduced to something off at the school where her son…
