AudioBook Junkie

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

 

 

Really!

The Guests on South Battery (Tradd Street) - Karen White

I listed to the audio version of this book and the narrator's voice is so wrong for today's 40 year old Charlestonian.  Lose the old Southern drawl.  Your story is set in today and I have not come across one native 40 year old white woman that talks this way naturally.  The dialect was okay for Melanie's mother, but for her...

 

So now that I have my dislike for the narrator's delivery, let's talk about this storyline. It was boring and predictable.  Not only does the author deliver one predictable outcome.  She deals three of them back to back.  Good Grief.

 

I think I am done with this series and hopefully Karen White is also unless she's prepared to turn it up a notch.

Chick Lit? Say What!

I Almost Forgot About You - Terry McMillan

Did I just read what I call chick lit!!!  I'm not sure if that's truly what this was, but I actually enjoyed it.  The timeline seemed a little of out sorts, but all in all, a good book.

 

I'll Give Up

The 17th Suspect - Maxine Paetro, James Patterson

I have no idea why I continue on with this series.  I guess for the same reason I keep watching shows like NCIS and NYPD.

Thank you

Better Late Than Never - Kimberla Lawson Roby

Finally a close to a series.  Thank you Kimberla Lawson Roby.

Forty Acres: A Thriller - Dwayne Alexander Smith

“Running a red light is illegal. Burglarizing someone’s home is illegal. But abducting a man and enslaving him like an animal for his entire life, that’s far worse, wouldn’t you agree?”

Just Scandalous!

Lawful Deception (Vernetta Henderson Series Book 5) - Pamela Samuels Young

How does one go from Anybody's Daughter to Lawful Deception?  I had no idea that this story would turn out the way it did.  I am speechless!  Do women seriously think about revenge on this level?  Wow!!!!!

 

With a friend like Bliss, who WANTS enemies!!!  Y'all better get some act right, because this chick is taking major lefts into the depths of hell.

 

Special, you're still my girl.  A little ditzy, too bold, but my girl none the less.

"I wish I could make it better.   But I can't.   Forty's dead. ☺"

I really need to see Joe on screen.   How is it that no one picks up on his craziness.   Does he come across that normal? Sociopath...
