I thought I’d show a motion picture to show what came to mind when I read the prompt. Okay, a video. It was the time when MTV played all day when my kids were teenagers.
this YouTube brought up emotions of my nieces, daughter and I had high note contest. I think Anna won back then. I miss those energetic times when we were all in perpetual motion .
Nightwork by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This audiobook was a surprise. At every turn, I found the shame of prejudging what I thought it was going to be.
I mostly read or listen to books written by women with women as the main character. And Nora Roberts seemed to meet that requirement for me. By the way, there is nothing against male authors or male main characters. But for most of my life, that was what seemed available. So a few years ago I made this my goal.
First surprise: instead of January LaVoy narrating, a male voice, Will Damron, told the story.
Second: the young male loves his mother and aunt so much that he took up robbery.
Third and beyond: oops, that would be spoilers.
I didn’t think I would be hoping for a thief. But I did.
May I suggest this as a diversion that still fits in Nora Roberts-land? I picked up this audiobook from Libby.
Legacy by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nora Roberts is a genius writer; her characters are so well-developed that I feel I could call them friends. They even help inspire me to be better. Even her antagonists seem realistic enough that I hope I never meet anyone like them.
January LaVoy brings in even more personality and spirit to these books. I loved how she grew Adrian from a little girl to an adult through her voice acting.
There was something about this book that made me feel I was getting healthier and finding family and friends. I want to get busy with yoga.
Though there is some romance, as there seems to be in Ms. Roberts’s books, it is not the most important part. Living life to the fullest seems to be the main theme.
Again, I was lucky to find this audiobook on Libby.
What’s with the snow above 6k feet in Oregon Cascades tonight and 30ยฐ here tomorrow night?
In answer to Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt.
I have 5 book reviews to write. Just too tired to write them today. See you tomorrow!
Well, I’m back on antibiotics. At least it’s a less strong one. Guess I should be glad I didn’t camp on the night when it was unseasonally 36 degrees at night.
I have used this prompt often over the past few weeks. And the push of cleaning then packing has me over done. So tired and sleepy. Time for bed, again!
Don’t you hate it when plans to see loved ones fall apart? ๐ฅ
