Much better than I was anticipating. I enjoyed their explanation of real magic, which I will not spoil here. You'll have to read it for yourself. It is worth the time.

I love Pete the Cat books. He likes to eat bananas but not lemons. Lemons are not sweet. I do not like lemons either.

An incredible piece of historical fiction. Written in 1963 by Alki Zei, who herself was a member of the resistance movement in Greece during its fascist dictatorship, the book follows two sisters in the beginning of the fascist dictatorship. Myrto and her younger sister Melissa play all sorts of games with their older cousin Nikos, and the games turn serious as they have to help Nikos stay hidden from the authorities who are hunting him for his revolutionary beliefs.

Mission Canyon is the second book in Meg Gardiner’s five-book Evan Delaney series. Evan is a sometimes lawyer, sometimes writer, and always interesting young woman who is continually getting caught up in a series of misadventures. In this volume, Evan’s fiancée Jesse is learning to live with devastating injuries resulting from an intentional hit-and-run accident that also took the life of Jesse’s best friend. Everyone knows who caused the accident, but not why nor which man was the real intended target. The rest is in the reading… Tanya Eby does a terrific job narrating the story from Evan’s first person POV. Except, as is the case in many audiobooks, there is a lack of “proof-listening” that might have eliminated some subject matter mispronunciations. I have enjoyed this series.

I haven’t read sci fi in a very long time and this definitely makes me want to continue!

The Activist is the fourth book in John Grisham’s seven-book Theodore Boone series. Theo is the son of two lawyers, and strives to follow in their footsteps. Theo is the captain of his 8th grade debate team and a patrol leader in his Boy Scout troop. In addition, he gets quite involved in the controversial battle between the government and the local landowners regarding the proposed bypass around his town, which would subject his friends to the eminent domain loss of their long-held property. One of the most interesting aspects of the series in audio is listening to John-boy Walton (Richard Thomas) tell the stories perfectly, designed to engage the targeted middle school audience. I find the entertaining and educational nature of Theo’s adventures a refreshing break from the R-rated content of my favored mysteries and thrillers.

My only wish as that there was more in the book! A fascinating tale of death and grieving woven into a story of magicians and lords.

20 contestants compete in a reality show inside a desert compound while the world crumbles around them.

It was very funny

It was very creative and mythical.
