Kindle Audiobook: Table for Five, Izzy Bromley

 



Very sweet, light read.

Abbie gets fired from a high powered marketing position. She befriends a motley crew that hang out at the coffee shop at a supermarket.


Ethel 84 year old ex ballerina, Bob, a homeless guy who lost everything when he was robbed, Dawn who l suspect is on the spectrum and Viraj who recently moved to Leeds but does not know anyone.


Reason for 3.8. I don't like present tense writing. And, I think it's highly unlikely that Ethel, at 84, after a stint in the hospital, would model clothes on point shoes.


Narrator was very good.


3.8/5

Libby Audiobook: God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy

 


Wasn't too keen on this one, but, it is actually quite beautiful.

But, oh so sad.


Learnt so much about the cast system.


So many layers.

4.8/5

Libby Audiobook: The Charming Man, C.K McDonnell

 


I am so enjoying this series. Vampires & monsters are definitely not my normal genre I enjoy. But, these are such fun. And, the narrator is absolutely brilliant.


Not full 5/5 because I did get a tiny bit confused with the characters.


Even the acknowledgements are fun!

Libby Audiobook: Battlefield of the Mind, Joyce Meyer

What would Jesus think.

Don't be a stinker thinker.

Your attitude determines a lot.


Definitely want to listen to it again.


4.8 / 5

Why not 5/5 thought it was a book and parts she is laughing with the audience which is great, but clearly something happened was said there that we can't see.

Libby Audiobook: The Stranger Times, C.K McDonnell

 


Absolutely loved this! Just love his sense of humour and the narration just brilliant!

4.8/5 not five because some of it was a little bit disjointed and I had to relisten to get back on track.
