Early this year, I listened to and loved Britt-Marie was Here. I then added all of Fredrik Backman’s audiobooks to my wishlist. Thanks to an Audible fairy, I was gifted a copy of A Man Called Ove. The ratings do not lie, once again I was transported as Backman made me fall in love with a grumpy old man named Ove and the folks in his community.
I read The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole the first book in the Immortals After Dark series in the anthology Blood Red Kiss and knew two things. First I needed more of this paranormal world, and second, it HAD to be on audio. Robert Petkoff narrates and is a personal favorite. Heat, snark, stubbornness and a whole lot of heart had me listening to A Hunger Like No Other into the wee hours.
Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is the second novel in the Kingmaker Chronicles series and was one of my most anticipated audios for 2017. Once again I was swept up in this world with its mythology, kick-ass heroine, and motley crew. While I devoured the audio, it was not without flaws and disappointments.
In today’s edition of Nonna’s Corner I am sharing Echo Echo by Marilyn Singer. Echo Echo a collection of reverso poems and greek myths. Beautifully illustrated by Josee Masse it shares some of our favorite stories from of Medusa to Pegasus. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
Today I am delighted to share the second book that came in the box of children’s books from Penguin. Hoot and Peep by Lita Judge is an adorable story about siblings who are different. Sophia and I loved the colorful illustrations and sweet story. Enjoy one of the cookies we baked and grab a cup of joe.
