Libby Audiobook: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Alice Feeney

 

This is the second Alice Feeney book I listened to, and really enjoyed it. 

Again, binge listened to it. Love the twists.

We meet Adam an author and playright. He suffers from faceblindness and is married to Amelia. They + Bob, their lab,  head up to Scotland for a weekend away that Amelia had won at work.

Very good.

4.5/5

Libby Audiobook: On a Quiet Street, Seraphina Nova Glass

 

This was very good! Quite long, but I binge listened to this. Intrigue of friends. Paige has lost her son and believes everyone on the street is guilty, Cora is married to a serial philanderer and Georga/Nicola married to an absolute psycho.

Very good narrator.

I would like to read more of her work.

4.8/5

Libby Audiobook: Dare to Lead, Dr Brené Brown 4/5

 

Great book on boundaries. Love that Brené reads the book.

4/5

Libby Audiobook: Conversations with Friends, Sally Rooney

 

This was a weird one, didn't love it.

A bisexual 23 year old writer has an affair with a 32 year old actor.

Meh.

3/5

Kindle Audiobook: Playing for Freedom, Zarifa Abida and Anne Chaon

 

Interesting to learn more about Afghanistan. 

3.8/5

Kindle Audiobook: Unspeakable Things, Jess Lourey

 

It's a novel based on true events. From the perspective of a little girl who's living in a town where little boys get abducted and molested. By the sounds of it, she alludes to her dad molesting her.

Her mom and dad also regularly have swing parties.

3/5

Kindle: Into the Pines, J.C Fuller

This book took very long to complete, mainly because I read it while drying my hair in the mornings.

I enjoyed it, but again, loads of names. 

I do enjoy her writing style and the beautiful details giving the story colour.

4/5

Kindle Audiobook: The Maid's Diary, Loreth Anne White

 

Not too bad either. The only comment is that the narrator really battled with the accents.

Spoiler: Saw the twists with Kit, Mia, Vanessa.

4/5

Kindle Audiobook: The Swimmer, Loreth Anne White

 

Loads of twists and turns, not too bad for an alternative thriller author. 

Husband has affair and has two year old, tried to kill wife with jetski, but, kills wrong person. Witness is next door neighbour who has an obsession with the wife.

3.8/5

Libby: Judaskus, Rudie van Rensburg

I really like the Kassie Kasselman series by Rudie van Rensburg. What I don't like are all the names /characters, and trying to keep track of who is who it just becomes gobbledygook after a while.

Also, there should be a trigger warning. The death of a dog is involved. 

3.8/5

Libby Audiobook: The Light we Carry, Michelle Obama

 

Wonderfully inspiring. Go higher.

Michelle learnt how to knit during lockdown, helped her to relax.

Can hear the passion and pain of the new dispensation that has no respect or regard for tradition, others.

4.8/5
