Why I recommend "This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart"

This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart

by Susannah Conway

Quite possibly the most profoundly important book I’ve read. Susannah spills her heart and soul on those pages and spoke directly to me. I bought copies for my friends, and as I go into health coaching, I’ll be buying copies for my clients as well. For anyone who sees the world through a camera lenses and/or written words, it quenches a thirst.

Listen to the audio book—it’s very well done

Refuse to Choose!: A Revolutionary Program for Doing Everything That You Love

by Barbara Sher

Excerpts on my blog: http://dogearedandunderlined.blogspot.com/2010/04/yes-im-scanner.html

Why I recommend "Impossible"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:05:25 GMT

Impossible

by Nancy Werlin

The audio book is really well done

Why I recommend "Watermelon"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:13:04 GMT

Watermelon

by Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes need to be heard versus read. The Irish brogue is delicious via audio book format. Keyes is laugh out loud funny, and this is one of my favorites. I definitely recommend it

A story about "The Help"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:28:02 GMT

The Help

by Kathryn Stockett

One of my favorite books of all time. I literally could not put it down.

Why I recommend "Bog Child"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:42:41 GMT

Bog Child

by Siobhan Dowd

The audio book has excellent narration by Sile Bermingham.

Why I recommend "The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:03:09 GMT

The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials

by Philip Pullman

I recommend listening to the audio version of these books. The audio includes a full cast—it’s one of the best YA books/series to hear.

Why I recommend "Fly on the Wall: How One Girl Saw Everything"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:46:53 GMT

Fly on the Wall: How One Girl Saw Everything

by E. Lockhart

I recommend the audio book—it’s quick (only four discs), with excellent narration by Caitlin Greer. I didn’t want it to end.

Why I recommend "I Am the Messenger"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Fri, 08 May 2009 22:16:46 GMT

I Am the Messenger

by Markus Zusak

I highly recommend the audio book version of this—excellent.

A story about "The Sea of Trolls (Sea of Trolls Trilogy)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:16:18 GMT

The Sea of Trolls (Sea of Trolls Trilogy)

by Nancy Farmer

I recommend the audio book. If you enjoy Norse Mythology, I also recommend the audio of Runemarks, by Joanne Harris.

A story about "Runemarks"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:22:02 GMT

Runemarks

by Joanne Harris

I listened to the audiobook version of this, and this really is the perfect type of tale that is suited to audio. Excellent. Every bit as good as The Looking Glass Wars, or Harry Potter, etc

Why I recommend "The Looking Glass Wars"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:33:35 GMT

The Looking Glass Wars

by Frank Beddor

I highly recommend the audio book of this, read by Gerard Doyle. The tale itself is excellent, but the narration makes this more theatrical.

A story about "Brisingr"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:12:20 GMT

Brisingr

by Christopher Paolini

I highly recommend the audio version of this book. Gerard Doyle does a fantastic job of reading, giving each character a new voice and inflection. It’s like listening to a theatrical production. Audio is the only way to go.

A story about "Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:39:53 GMT

Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras

by Jeff Henderson

I recommend the audio book, read by the author. It adds a dimension to the story that might be lost otherwise.

A story about "Cat in a Kiwi Con"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Sun, 25 May 2008 05:19:20 GMT

Cat in a Kiwi Con

by Carole Nelson Douglas

The mystery itself was interesting enough, but the wording was bizarre. I prefer writing that is more conversational. This was oddly formal—words that no one ever uses, like ‘thence’.

A story about "Bel Canto"

nobody@allconsuming.net (woofnanny) — Fri, 16 May 2008 18:49:36 GMT

Bel Canto

by Ann Patchett

It’s interesting that the reviews here are rather blah, when the reviews I read on a blog (that inspired me to read the book in the first place) were all saying they were sad to see the book end. I thought it was a wonderful book—basically about the relationships that developed between strangers thrown together in a hostage situation. I could feel the passion about music and song. I was disappointed in the ending, however. I would have preferred the book end several pages earlier—perhaps when they were all cavorting in the grass. Let the reader imagine a future for them.
