Kindle Audiobook: The Last Green Valley, Mark Sullivan

Ah, this book is the third that I have read of this author, and it has just cemented that I am a raving fan of his work. Initially it took me a little bit longer to get into this book than the other two. But, it is just beautiful how love, faith and an unwavering belief in a positive outcome, will get you through the most horrific and difficult times. It is again a novel based on real people and events. Mark Sullivan has such a gift of bringing history to life.

4.5/5

Libby Audiobook: You're not broke, you're pre-rich, Mapalo Makhu

 

Isn't this a great name! 

It says it is targeted at Millenniums but, I think there is a lot of good advice for all ages.

Wills, SARS, investments, savings.

Kindle: The Sky Beneath Us, Fiona Valpy

 

I have been spoiled with Mark Sullivan's historical books. This one is fine, didn't bliw my hair back.

I audiobooked this, the staccato of the one narrator got incredibly annoying, that I think I missed some good wisdom the author tried to share. Even speeding it up didn't help.

We meet Daisy who is on a pilgrimage to find out more about her great aunt Violet

I won't be rushing out to read more of her books.

Meh. 

3/5

Libby: My sister, the serial killer, Oyinkan Braithwaite

Quite good, satirical take on how Korede, a nurse, copes / helps her beautiful sister, Ayoola with all her boyfriends that die off.

Korede confides what is going on with a man that has been in a coma for months and the prognosis is not good for him to wake up, but the thing is, he does!

3/5

Libby Audiobook: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Holly Jackson

 

🙄 Highly unrealistic story, grating main character, and, the dog dies.

Pippa is doing a project on the disappearance of Andy Bell and the death of Sandy Singh and the role of the media for a school project. She is told not to approach either of the families or it won't be accepted. First interview, Sandy's brother.

Kindle Audiobook: Under the Scarlet Sky, Mark Sullivan

 

I just love how Mark Sullivan brings history to life. Beautifully written.

All about Pinot's part in the second world war and being a driver and translator for General Leyers and his love for Anna.

Libby: Ougat, Shana Fife

 

I think this must have been very cathartic for Shana Fife to write, to share her abuse. Very raw.

I did like that she is also the narrator of the audiobook.
