Hiya Jenny. Lovely to hear what you’ve been listening to. I bought a Kindle recently which has helped me with my reading slightly, I really struggle with it due to health, and I’ve only read a handful of books in the last 10 years. But the kindle seems to be helping me. The books I have read recently are.
+ Undivided by Vicky Beeching.
+ Brave by Rose McGowan.
+ Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation by Hannah Gadsby.
+ This much is true by Miriam Margolyes.
+ The Mystery of Princess Louise: Queen Victoria’s Rebellious Daughter by Lucinda Hawksley.
I tend to prefer true stories. Miriam Margolyes Audible book is good she is a voice over artist so has a lovely voice.
Adam Hills Audible autobiography is also good. I haven’t finished that one yet. I do love an Aussie voice though!
I have so many I’ve bought and I hope to read one day including a lovely poetry book by a lady called Jenny!! 😉 Sending much love to you.

I’m listening to Tales of the City, read by Frances McDormand, and loving it. Just finished The Big Sleep, read by Scott Brick, which I thought was great, too!

Dear Jenny, your reviews are wonderful. Thanks for writing them.
I’ve been reading the Wingfeather Saga (a series of 4 fantasy books – of similar ilk to Lord of the Rings, but aimed at young adults). It took me about half of the 1st book to get into it, but since then, I’ve been really gripped by the plot (despite my being 37!). Thought I’d mention them in case you hadn’t come across them and might enjoy them 🙂
Love and prayers, Colette

I’m so sorry that your health is getting worse. I am keeping you in my thoughts. If you want more audiobook memoir recommendations, I recently listened to the memoirs of two American musicians. I love music, so music memoirs are especially intriguing to me! “The Storyteller” by Dave Grohl (of Nirvana & Foo Fighters) was excellent, as was “Broken Horses” by Brandi Carlile. I’m not even a Brandi Carlile fan, but I loved the book, and now I appreciate her music a ton! Her memoir is especially great because after each chapter that mentions events leading to her writing a song, she sings that song.
