Captivating from the start. Historical fiction, told from the perspective of a 105 year old man writing an epic story from his life before its too late. Remarkably Based on a true story of two Giraffes being trailered across the southern US from NYC to the San Diego zoo in the 1930s.

I love Darynda Jones' ability to mix action, mystery, spicy romance and humor. This is an excellent entry in the Sunshine Vicram series.

Colleen Hoover's books are the kind you want to finish in a day. They pull you in and you're constantly wondering (and sometimes fearing) what will happen next. Definitely read the first book before this one. An excellent sequel.

Quite the epic fantasy adventure. I really enjoyed it. Hopefully the 3rd book is eventually written, I can imagine it's a ton of pressure to write something as big and bold and engaging as the 1st two books.

I was one of the many people who followed Leslie Jordan on instagram when he went viral during the pandemic. This memoir is an entertaining view into more of his life. I'm thankful he recorded it before he died earlier this year.

Loved this story . Caught myself laughing out loud multiple times. There's reason there was such a long wait for this one at the library. Worth it.

Not great as an audiobook, but a good YA novel. A good chunk of the book is transcripts of online chat conversations that are tough in an audio format.
