Surprise Me

by Sophie Kinsella

☆☆☆☆☆

Audio Version

 

Sylvie and Dan have been together for 10 years. They have

a lovely life with darling twin daughters. The two of them take

the afternoon off work to go for their annual physical.

Only to get the shock of their life! The doctor says there is

no reason they should not live past 100 years old.

Which will mean they have 68 years left.

As a married couple! 68 years!!

 

This information throws them both for a loop.

Neither of them knows how to manage!

 

In the process of trying to figure it all out, Sophie comes

across information. Between a small comment here and

there, a surprise here and there, the reading of lips

and a surprise garden, Sophie comes to a conclusion.

 

 

Surprise Me is filled with fabulous characters.

You will see their faces in your head as you listen to

the terrific narration by Fiona Hardingham. Every

character has a distinct personality in the story.

Which only goes to prove the wonderful writing.

 

I borrowed this book from my library.

Lucky Suit by Lauren Blakely - Audio Version

Lucky Suit

This was a new author for me. But because it was

only a few hours long, I went for it!

Lauren Blakely did a terrific job. I love short

novella reading if the author does a good job.

Lucky Suit is just like that!

It's a sweet funny romantic love story.

You got your basic fabulous funny lovable

grandma. She of course lives next door.

Kristen is the granddaughter. She is happy.

Loving her life. Kristen would love to find

that guy. But if she doesn't, she is good!

There are so many wonderful things in

her life! Of course, grandma is not going

to just let that slide!!

This is a 2 1/2 hour listen. With some

terrific narration. Andi Arndt is a lovely

voice that fits perfectly into this story.

But then, there is Zachary Webber.

He was made for this job!!

Romantic story narration. He will

make you swoon! Pounce on this one.

What I Did For Love by Susan Elizabeth Phillips - Audible Version

What I Did For Love

By Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Audio Edition

☆☆☆☆☆

 

If you are like me and always love getting your

moneys worth, you will get that with this story.

The audible version is 13 1/2 hours long.

Not a minute of it is wasted. There are a lot of

characters, several story lines, a few love stories

and a lot of ridiculousness.

 Georgie and Bram have been a part of each

others lives since they were kids. They starred on

a popular family comedy show. Georgie was

looked after. Her father took care of her and

watched after her money. Now, she has a secure

future. Bram wasted it all. The money and the

success.

Now, they find themselves, together, 

 in quite a pickle.

But how to make it work out well for them?

Can they tolerate each other long enough

to get through this situation? Will Georgie lose

her relationship with her father after all? Will

Bram be able to avoid jail and make a life

for himself?

Julia Gibson does a terrific job on the narration.
