BOOK REVIEWS
The Cuckoo’s Cry (by Caroline Overington)
Another Audible Original! I enjoyed The Cuckoo’s Cry by Caroline Overington. Set in Australia at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, Don Barlow lives in an idyllic beachside cottage. Now widowed…
My Effin’ Life (by Geddy Lee)
My introduction to the iconic rock n roll band, Rush, occurred in the early 1990s. In high school, there were a trio of friends who loved music and playing percussion instruments in the high school band. While only one of them played the drums, all three were humongous Rush fans.
The Survivor (by Gregg Hurwitz)
This book is incredibly good! I have quickly become a huge fan of Gregg Hurwitz and want to read everything he has written. The Survivor immediately surprised me with the emotional weight the story holds. I often felt physically heavy while reading about…
The Getaway (by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen)
This is my first time reading a book by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I picked up The Getaway from one of Audible’s amazing offers awhile ago.
The Beach House (by Mary Alice Monroe)
I read the fourth book in the Beach House series, Beach House for Rent, by Mary Alice Monroe, several years ago, and have finally made my way back to the series. I decided to read the first book, The Beach House, to see how things started.
Do Not Disturb (by Freida McFadden)
A few months ago, I overheard a coworker say to someone that she was exhausted because she stayed up late the previous night reading a book she couldn’t put down. Naturally, I casually inserted myself into the conversation by asking what book she had been reading. She replied that it was by Freida McFadden.
Second Skin (by Christian White)
I love having an Audible subscription. Second Skin by Christian White is another short story I acquired during one of Audible’s many free offerings. Audiobook narrator Ellen Archer executed a good performance as she told the story of Stan’s tragic loss.
The Masked Rider (by Neil Peart)
Recently, my husband and I have been listening to some of our favorite Rush songs. He then began watching YouTube videos of Neil Peart’s amazing drum performances. As you might guess, the rabbit hole of the internet led to the discovery of interviews with Neil about the books he has written. As a complete book nerd…
Real Happiness at Work (by Sharon Salzberg)
I decided I better get my act together and read this book before I retire in a few months! Even though I love my job and my decision to retire is bittersweet, I can always benefit from more peace in the workplace. I adore Sharon Salzberg and appreciate her wisdom.
