Have no idea what just happened to Angela Goethals’ voice as the Audible narrator of Fallon’s POV; however, it has improved tenfold.

30 pages in and Lilly gives Maria a proper telling off. Woo hoo! And away we go on this reading adventure…

“You know why women don’t like you, Maria?” “Lil, please— “Women don’t like you because, unlike men, your exterior doesn’t distract us from seeing into your absolutely rotten interior!

I stopped the Audible edition, returned it and bought the Kindle edition because my nerves could no longer handle the vocal stylings of Louise McCance-Price. The shrill voice, mispronunciations and bad accents are frustrating but the actual sobbing when the heroine cries is disturbing. The story is good. Although there is not much progression in the MCs relationship at this point

Meh. Is this some weird Outlander fanfic? It is a little painful to read.

I ADORE THIS BOOK! It is fantastic. Kate Stewart's ability to convey the family dynamics and all the subplots are INCREDIBLE.

Utterly confused by this book at the half-way mark. It has great story. potential; however, within the historical fiction genre, it is not successful so far. The only thing that tells me it is set in 1925 is a date on a title page. The dialogue is modern and there are no references to relevant events or items of the time. I also have no idea what country or fictional location this is taking place in.

Heidi (MinxyD14) is starting Always the Last to Know
"It wasn’t that I wanted him to die. I just didn’t want to be married anymore."

- Barb is a horrible piece of work. Not sure how much of her perspective I can take. Ugghhh! And the sappy mockery of Minnesota is dancing on my last nerve. I want to drink heavily every time the author uses the phrase, "don't you know".

This is going back on the "TBR at another time" pile. Maybe I should not have listened to this immediately after Lady of Hay. The mistreatment and hostilities toward the female characters are really difficult to get through in my current headspace. It is all a bit too much. There is a great deal of hatred, bitterness and betrayal in both time frames.

May try this another time when I am in a different frame of mind. At this point in the book, Josie is still a hypocritical bore and dancing on my last nerve. I hate to say this about a KA book, but I don't see the appeal or care for any of the characters.

Drawing out and savouring every moment of this book.

“Penny believed in the power of taking to one’s bed.
Once her children knew how to make a sandwich, she would occasionally announce to her family, “I am taking to my bed. Fend for thyself. I shall rise in twenty-four hours, a better woman.”

Taking a break. It’s an interesting story, told in a unique manner, but a very emotionally painful read.

20% in and I am crying with laughter. Have to keep stopping the Audible recording to laugh, go back and listen again. The restaurant review had me on the floor.

Heidi (MinxyD14) is 50% done with Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths, #1)
The Audible narration by Elizabeth Louise is unpleasant. It is void of any inflection and just shy of robotic. I understand that the heroine has shutdown emotionally but still, the narration distracts from the writing and story-telling. Taking a break from this one. May read the kindle version if it goes on sale.

I think my Julie Garwood days are behind me. This is the third book I have attempted in the last year and it is rough going. I don't know what is more tedious and annoying, the pace of the story telling or the copious amount of useless William Shakespeare's quotes.
