🎧 Homemaker by Ruthie Knox, Annie Mare @ruthieknox.bsky.social @anniemare.bsky.social #MiaHutchinson-Shaw #Thomas&Mercer #BrillianceAudio #JIAM #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited🎧

The Prairie Nightingale series is a collaboration between two of my favorite authors. It’s a new mystery series about a professional homemaker turning into a private investigator. I absolutely LOVE it. Prairie is a divorced mother of two girls. The younger is definitely gifted. The older is going through her rebellious teen phase. She co-parents […]

🎧 Airhead by Avery Flynn @averyflynn.com‬ @savannahpeachy #AidenSnow #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM @RobinBridgeFour @AveryFlynn

Eighties nostalgia hit me hard in this one. I fondly remember the days of great big hair, aqua net, answering machines and going out to the movies seeing Halloween on the big screen. I had such a good time with going back in time in this book. Since Airhead is the prequel book to The […]

Kimberly Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother, stepfather, and half-sister, living what she believed to be […]

🎧 King of Ashes by SA Cosby @blacktopkid.bsky.social @alazarrewhite @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM @blacklionking73 @MacmillanAudio

King of Ashes is very much in the style I expect from this author. That doesn’t mean it is predictable, just that it tells a gritty story of what things are really like for some people. Bad people trapping others through fear and intimidation into horrible acts and situations. The Carruthers family includes the father […]
