Emily Henry’s stories related by Julia Whelan really hit the feelings for me. Funny Story started as not at all funny but heartbreaking. The outcome was ironic, not humorous funny. With only a week to find somewhere to live, Daphne ends up with the ex-fiancé (Miles) of her ex-fiancé’s (Peter) new fiancé (Petra). Uh, yeah. […]
This short novella is not required to follow the series, but is a great addition. This story follows a different POV than the main series. There’s a spoiler for who this POV is if you haven’t read book one. This story is harder to read than the first one. There’s a lot more loss […]
I picked up this audiobook during a two-for-one deal on Audible. Sounded like a fun story and I liked the narrator, Julia Whelan. I’m glad I grabbed it. While this story is a pretty typical zombie story, I really like the characters. There’s been rumors about outbreaks in other cities in the west, but this […]
Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are an author/ narrator combination that I really enjoy. Happy Place gives us a long term couple where each loves the other, maybe more than themself. There is also the insecurity of not being enough for the other person. These feelings are based on both family and personal history. We […]
I enjoyed this author’s first book and have consistently enjoyed her narrations. Since Thank You For Listening was in the world of audiobook narration I couldn’t pass it up.

There are many reasons to love reading. Book Lovers has them all. A romance with realistic people and issues make what I call life fiction. I relate to Nora completely. She loves fiercely and selflessly to hold her family together and the memories. She does everything to protect, help and make her sister, Libby happy. […]
I really loved the feelings and characters. I was deeply connected to them and I was in suspense as I could see the train wreck coming. It is angsty for me when the characters have to separate and take some time for personal growth and to figure out some things. People We Meet on Vacation […]
I was excited to read Six Weeks to Live with its family drama and mystery. The mother, Jennifer, quickly finds some irregularities in her tests and realizes she may have been poisoned. She spends lots of time figuring out who it might have been and how they might have done it. It was easy to […]
These are favorite narrators in 2020 I’ve included many of their audiobooks even if we didn’t listen to them all in 2020. (On the list in no particular order.) Luke Daniels Unwind Dystology series by Neal Shusterman The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne Krewe of Hunters by Heather Graham The Palladium […]
There are some narrators who I like enough to pay attention to an audio book when they are the narrator. Julia Whelan is one of those, so I saw she was the narrator and decided to get this one for review. At the very beginning, I knew what was going to happen as it happened. […]
