bookletting

Despite the tragedy throughout, this is easily one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in some time. Full of quirky, multidimensional and extremely funny characters. Found family (intergenerational). Road trip.

Food & fame, family & friends, f*ckups & forgiveness. Good story of overcoming past mistakes, recovery from addiction, and the ins & outs of the kitchen and becoming a chef. Audio is very enjoyable.

The story (30-something bookworm loses loving husband to cancer; he arranges for her to receive books, one each month, for a year after he dies with the goal/hope of helping her move on from the loss.) is well told and filled with kind characters. What I most appreciate is the way it deals with loss, grief and recovery. It is also full of shoutouts to other books and authors.

Loverly book, full of longing and tenderness.

Opening line is one I've never forgotten: "It was her idea to tie up the nun."

Compelling historical novel that reexamines the creation of the OED by beautifully, wistfully imagining the spaces where women (their lives, contributions, words...) were omitted.

Delightful

Achingly beautiful fable of love, loss, memory and survival.

Perfect for bibliophiles: story shifts from character to character who each discover different things from same book.

Story ok, but not good in audio (odd American accents & pronunciation. Kept calling a "parka" a "parker" etc.) Would only try another with this MC in print.

Found family fantasy set in an intricate and intriguing world with characters worth caring about. Bonus: a police procedural storyline and lots of twists.
