[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 A delightful collection of Indian fairy tales, that read like short stories, sprinkled with magic, karma and a whole heap of kindness. Each beautifully intermingled story tells the tale of one ‘angel’, one not quite ‘normal’ being who comes to realize they are blessed with a…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Twists within twists within more twists. Maybe one twist too many? You decide, - I confess, I still haven’t made up my mind. Ellen Saint is one “crazy obsessed mother.” Neurotic, icily consumed by her rage (superseding her remarkable fragility), plagued with anxieties, including a terrifying (and…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 An epic and life-changing journey, paused and then culminated, decades later, as our main protagonist, Dan, travels the road to Kathmandu, Nepal. Dan, an often strung-out hippie kid from England, seeking mystery, excitement, adventure, and most of all, freedom from his “cultural straightjacket”, completes a drive…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow. That was one ending I did not predict! What a fabulous ride - twists and turns do not come anywhere near describing the devious path this book takes to tell its tale. A dark and clammy story brimming with fear, fearlessness (is it a good thing?…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Is it really possible to start over? To change? Or are we all destined to be haunted by ghosts we thought we’d left behind?” Reminiscent of “The Girls Are All So Nice Here” (albeit with a much nicer group of protagonists), this book tells a “now” versus…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Letters from Afganistan” is a YA book bursting with social consience, a Call to Action and most of all, a giant heart. Written as the first English story constructed by a native Italian speaking author, the book is intended to inspire, educate, and reach deep into the…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] “The Sequence” by Lucien Telford is absolutely brilliant in parts, (many parts), so much so that it’s hard to believe this is the work of first time author. The story line is multi-layered, fiendishly ingenious, and peppered with such cool tech gear, holograms, vehicles, implants and gadgets…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My favorite kind of book - intense, suspenseful, an intriguing crime puzzle, and so many interesting characters - both the regulars in this outstanding detective series, and the villains, victims, red herrings, and “friendlies”, - so intertwined and carefully plotted that it requires best wits in an…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] A perfect little picture book - bursting with hope, delight and the soul-affirming promise of a nascent new day. As a little girl and her grandmother sow a garden we see the wonder each little seed brings, following the cycle of life laid out for us, from…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] It’s shocking to realize how little I knew about women’s fight to earn the vote, and the terrible toll it took on those first few (and incredibly brave) Suffragettes. The story told in this spell-binding release by Galia Gichon is historically accurate, which makes the emotional whallup…
