And was able to get it 4 days after it was released! It was read to us by Julia Whelan and I swear I could sit at this woman's feet and have her read to me all the days of my life.Show more7 days ago

She recommended "Send for Me" by Lauren Fox at the same time which I also read. I love listening to books and hope there are some others she narrated so I can see what you mean. Audio books can be wonderful with the right reader and can be not so great with the wrong one. I do not recall what the book was, but the reader made voices for the different characters and it did not work for me. The little girl voice he did forced me to stop listening.Show more6 days ago

It seems as a distraction and all I can concentrate on is their voice and not the story that they are...Yes Patty I agree on the wrong person narrating a book. I don’t do well with foreign accents. It seems as a distraction and all I can concentrate on is their voice and not the story that they are telling. I love Jenna Bush. I don’t get to watch much day time TV but remember watching her when I had physical therapy back in 2019.Show more4 days ago
