Having read Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators , much of the ground Kantor and Twohey cover was familiar to me. As the authors describe, victims of Harvey Weinstein willing to speak about his sexual harassment and abuse were difficult to find, as many h...
Here is one of the blurbs on the back of the hardcover edition: "Rowell keeps things surprising, and the solution maintains the novel's delicate balance of light and dark." --Publisher's Weekly (starred review) As I was getting close to the end (switching from audio to hardcover for the last li...
I have fallen in love with this book. To think, on a few different occasions when deciding which audiobook to download from my library's site, I read the description of this book and passed on it. But this time I decided to give it a try, and I was quickly hooked. Jenna Metcalf wants to find out...
Okay, so yesterday I talked about a book that was hurt by the audio narration -- this is one that's helped by it (but not much, because it really doesn't need much). I read this back when it came out, and gave it 4 Stars -- which boggles my mind, was I a harsher grader back then? I remembered liking...

I grab almost every audio available to me and prefer to go in blind when I can. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t and I end up with nightmares (I’m pointing at you, Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates). When I started American Housewife I had some vague memory of someone somewhere saying it ...
This is my third Gillian Flynn book and I must say, it’s my least favorite. I read Gone Girl first followed by Sharp Objects and finally Dark Places. I was so looking forward to reading this after reading two very good books of hers. I wasn’t as emotionally enthralled by Dark Places as I was her oth...
I am feeling so incredibly unmotivated and since there are already a zillion reviews of this book here, there and everywhere, I shall be brief. Is there really a need for a zillion plot synopsis-ez, anyway? My lazy side says no, no, there’s definitely no need today.I didn’t like the characters but I...
I won't say anything new if I expound upon Rowell's easy, conversational writing style or her vivid and relatable characters, because all that is present here. Although I was at first put off by the Los Angeles setting, her LA characters turned out to be just as down-to-earth as her Nebraska ones. A...
I got to learn a lot about elephants with this book. They never forget and they care for their young and their dead . They probably have "theory of mind" and they wrestle with death (hey, they're just like us humans). I saw the elephants in the story as a character and mostly they just seemed to ...
