Some Books that I have been Listening to Lately

Hello, dear friends.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  The Mister and I spent a wonderful weekend in New York City.  We enjoyed fabulous food and even had a few star sightings.  I took lots of photos and will share them with you soon.

In the meantime, here are some short reviews of some Audible books that I have been listening to lately.  The great thing about listening to a good book is that it makes me more excited to go on my walk, which leads to more steps on my unforgiving Fitbit. 

Just finished this one.  I positively loved Kubica's last book, The Good Girl.  I felt this one fell short.  Didn't care for the main character and the story lacked focus.

An absorbing story told from the daughter's point of view centering around her father who was the ultimate con artist and worked for the Wolf of Wall Street.  Not only did he steal money from his clients, but he also set up credit cards in his teenage daughter's name, which left her in bankruptcy by the time she was twenty years old. 

I thought that Stephanie Mack did an excellent job presenting her sorrowful story of her father-in-law Bernie Madoff's debacle, and her husband's suicide.  She managed to present it articulately and without bitterness.  As a side note, Stephanie has a lovely voice.

After visiting Monaco on the cruise, this was the first book I listened to when I arrived home.   The book was written decades ago, but the fairy tale story remains the same. 

Love this talented lady, and this book was a great one to listen to because Amy Poehler features many guest readers, including her mother.

This book is very entertaining in typical Joan style.  It is read and supposedly written by Melissa, but I don't believe it.  I think that Joan wrote it before she died.

I know a lot of people are hot and cold on Ali Wentworth.  I happened to like her and enjoyed her tales of growing up and married life very much.

I love Martin Short.  This is probably my favorite Audible book because it was both funny and touching.  He talks about his long friendship with Eugene Levy and Steve Martin and also covers the loss of his wife to cancer.

  

Anyone who has been reading my blog of awhile knows that I love Andy Cohen.  I truly enjoyed his first book.  Unfortunately, his latest book was a total letdown.  Between you and me, I quit listening to it halfway through.  

The only thing that I didn't appreciate about Love Life by Rob Lowe is that due to the fact that it is an Audible book, I didn't have a book cover to ogle.  I loved his first book, and I am a big fan of Rob Lowe's second book, as well. 

Until next time...
