Audiobook.com The Moon and Stars, Jenna Warren

Very laborious. A guy who is classically trained manages a theatre. He suffers from massive stage fright. Ugh he us insufferable. Too much angst, insecurity. Did not enjoy it.

Audiobooks.com: Paul McCartney, The Biography ~ Philip Norman

 

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

A very detailed book; over 30 hours (30 hours 45 minutes) long! But very interesting. Honestly didn't realise just how popular Paul McCartney had been. 

Interesting to find out that it's The Beatles, because of the music beat, not the creatures!

Didn't realise just how unpleasant John Lennon was.

His work ethic and values inspiring. Did have a bit of a blip with marrying Heather Mills, what a piece of work. 

Actually cried at the love and loss of Linda, his first wife was described. 

It's long, but interesting!

The narrator is brillliant!

5/5

Hierdie boek SO geniet. Sulke mooi Afrikaans! Plat op die aarde. 

Baie sad in plekke, maar ook baie snaaks, bv. sy dagboek van gymnasium toe gaan, en die ontkleedanser!!

Kindle Audiobook: Tell Me How This Ends, Jo Leevres

What a sweet novel. In this cosy mystery we get to meet Henrietta, that lives on her own with Dave, her rescue dog, she describes herself as a transcriber, proofreader and failed librarian. She gets a job at a local care centre, where they have launched a Life Stories Project, where people who are in their last stages of terminal illnesses can share their life story, and it then gets published into a book for their loved ones to enjoy once they are departed. Henrietta is quite confident that she would do well at this job as she is able to detach herself from emotions and others. 

Henrrietta's first 'client' is Annie, who has a rather sad life; a tragic childhood because her sister, that she was very close to disappeared, presumed drowned, when she was very young. And, she was married to Terry, a horrendously piece of work. 

Henrietta and Annie start forming a bond, and Henrietta feels that there must be more to Kath, Annie's sisters disappearance, and she turns into a sleuth.

The story plaits through Annie's life as well as Henrietta's past. 

Because it takes you through so many emotions  sadness, anger, a couple of laughs, I rate this a: 

5/5

 

Kindle: Audiobook ~ The Best of Friends, Lucinda Berry

 

This was my second Lucinda Berry book. It was good and a good twist.  

The premise of the book is a group of friends have all grown up together and pretty much all had children at the same time. One evening there is a tragedy when one of the children is killed, one in a coma and the other friend refuses to speak. Many twists and turns, and secrets uncovered. 

My only criticism is that there are so many different characters to try and remember who is who, and each couple has a couple of children too. It would be helpful if there was a summary at the beginning of the book with all the characters, so and so are married, these are their children.

For that reason, I am giving it a 3 1/2 out of 5.
