Narrator Jane Oppenheimer did an excellent job of narrating The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon. I listened at 1.75x. This is my fourth book by this narrator. Jane has narrated over 100 books, notably The Frozen River and The Goddess of Warsaw.
Bookish Thoughts: I think it is a win when I learn new information after reading a book. I thought the author did a thorough job of researching about the former First Lady. If you enjoy reading about history and politics, then you will enjoy this book! ...more

Narrator Laura Benanti did a wonderful job of narrating House of Glass. I listened at 1.75x. This is my second book by this narrator. She also narrated The Drowning by T.J. Newman along with Steven Weber
Bookish Thoughts: This popcorn thriller was filled with plenty of suspense and twists and turns. I probably would not have enjoyed this one that much if I did not listen solely on audio. The author did a good job on developing the characters, which were hard to like at times. This one did not blow me away but if you like mystery whodunnits, this one is for you!

Narrator Helen Laser did a wonderful job of narrating The Wedding People. I listened at 1.75x. This is my fourth book by this narrator. I have enjoyed all the books she has narrated. They include If Something Happens to Me, Yellowface, and The Second Chance Year.
Bookish Thoughts: I wasn’t sure what to think of this novel that started off kind of depressing. Phoebe Stone has hit rock bottom and runs into a wedding group staying at the same hotel she is at. Thankfully, Phoebe’s story takes a positive turn when she is befriended by the future bride. This book is hilarious, thought provoking and full of witty banter. There is some explicit language that I didn’t care for but overall I enjoyed this emotional story about love, relationships and overcoming adversity.

Narrator Kathleen McInerney did a phenomenal job of narrating The Burning. I listened at 1.75x. This is my second book by the narrator and I look forward to listening to many more books by her.
Bookish Thoughts: This fast pace murder mystery was a page turner for me. I listened to it in two days!! Chief of police Kate Burkholder investigates a gruesome murder, which reveals a little known chapter of early Amish history in the new installment of the bestselling Linda Castillo series. This was my first book I read in the series and I highly enjoyed it. It can be read as a standalone and I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!

Narrator Saskia Maarleveld did a great job of narrating One Big Happy Family. I listened at 1.75x for the first half of the book and then sped up to 2x to hurry and finish. This is my first book by this narrator.
Bookish Thoughts: This novel resonated with me because as I started the audiobook a hurricane was making landfall in the book and simultaneously in real life Hurricane Beryl made landfall along the Texas coast. The book started off promising and then slowed down in the middle. I started to get a bit bored so I increased the speed to hurry and finish. It didn’t blow me away and left me feeling meh.

Narrator Emily Pike Stewart did an amazing job of narrating The Nature of Disappearing. I listened at 1.75x. I paired the audiobook with an ebook copy as well.
Bookish Thoughts: Like most people I loved These Silent Woods! It was a no brainer to pick up the author’s next book. I went in not knowing too much about the plot. I thought the book was going in one direction only to be pleasantly surprised in how it turned a different way. The sense of place drew me into this book along with a strong beginning. If you enjoy hiking, wilderness and a good mystery, consider reading The Nature of Disappearing!

Narrator Patti Murin did a wonderful job of narrating The Rom-Commers. Patti has previously narrated The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger by Katherine Center. I listened at 1.75x. The audiobook featured a bonus scene which was an added surprise. The author’s note and acknowledgements were read by the author.
Katherine Center never fails to write funny love stories that warm your heart. I was excited to read The Rom-Commers when I heard she was publishing a new book. I didn’t even read a description of the book because she is an auto buy author for me! In the beginning, I was not a huge fan of the premise of her story. It took me some time to get invested with the characters. By the second half of the book, I was enjoying it and experiencing all the emotions! Her author’s note at the end of the book was the cherry on top and a good reminder why I even picked up this book to read.
Likes: Laugh out loud funny Entertaining Clean love story Family matters
Dislikes: In the beginning was not excited about the premise of the story. Took me some time to get invested in the story.
