Band Of Sisters by Lauren Willig Narrated by Julia Whelan Genre - Historical Fiction Format Audiobook Release Date March 02, 2021 I rate the book a 5 of 5 stars I also rate the Narration 5 of 5 stars This book was amazing. It has a little bit of everything. War, Friendship, and even a little bit of Romance. I absolutely loved it. It is actually based on true stories of the Smith College Relief Unit going to France to help with the war effort. The narrator was perfect for this book. She did the voices perfectly and drew you further into the story. She also very upbeat and kept you wanting to listen. Not like some narrators that put you to sleep 5 minutes in. There are somethings that have been changed in the book but it is kept as true to the story as possible as the author used correspondence from the real ladies who did these incredible things. Although it was a fictional work. I was a little disappointed that the Spanish Flu pandemic was not mentioned in the book. Altho...

Genre - Christmas Romance Format - Hardcover Rating - 1 star out of 5 It makes me sick to look at this rating. Especially on a Debbie Macomber book, but it was just that bad. Not at all like her usual Christmas books. This book is based mostly in the Amazon Rainforest. That should tell you something right there. There was absolutely no mention of snow throughout the whole book. Also talk about Christmas was at a minimum which is also unlike Debbie Macomber.  The book seemed like it was a bit rushed. Like she was hurrying to make a deadline. I was so disappointed! I always look forward to her Christmas book every year and this was such a disappointment.  The premise of the book was the main character being overworked and needing a break. So, her assistant out of revenge books her on an Amazon River “Cruise.” All the main character knows is that she is going on a cruise. She is in for a big surprise. Along the way she starts to have fun. After being sick for most of...

Genre - Christmas, Romance F ormat Audiobook Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Rachel L. Jacobs I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. Narration 4 out of 5 I loved this book. It combined two of my favorite things Firefighters and Quilt Shops with a bit of romance and one of my favorite charities Quilts of Valor. This book is published by Hallmark corporation which is also a plus because I love Hallmark during the holidays. The book is about Sophie and Cole. Sophie has found a diary that Cole has written and wants to return it to him. He does not want any part of that. It is based at Christmas time and it is the perfect back drop for the story. I really liked the audio version because Cole is narrated by a man and Sophie by a woman. This is one of the problems that I have with traditional audiobooks because sometimes it is hard to tell the characters are hard to tell apart. I would definitely recommend this audiobook to listen to while running around picking up those last few C...
