Laughs and Solidarity from a Newly Diagnosed ADHDer
Reviewed: 06-13-23
As a newly diagnosed ADHDer, I've been hyper focus binging on all the ADHD audiobooks I can find. This one was PERFECT and something I know my spouse can get something out of as well, without having to wrestle with something overly high level.
Thank you both for sharing your experiences and allowing them to help others. Also...huge thanks that my wife no longer thinks I'm just being difficult. LOL!

Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action.

Football star Cameron Dean is genuine campus royalty at Globe University, but his life is more of a nightmare than a dream. When he unexpectedly inherits a creepy old castle in Denmark, Cameron tries to put his worries behind him, inviting his girlfriend and college buddies along on an overseas trip to check out the gloomy fortress. The plan is to get some serious partying done. Too bad nobody counted on the ghost of a drowned girl rising from her watery grave with vengeance on her mind!

Reviewed: 05-11-22
I adored this book. Think of it as a sequel to Hamlet by way of movies like Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Really fun listen and the NARRATOR. Oh my god. A. V. Caris is incredibly fun to listen to. She juggles so many characters flawlessly and is obviously having a blast telling the story.
Highly recommended!

The Gulf War was the first American war with women in combat command positions, and Captain Karen Emma Walden was one of the best. Yet, when her medevac, a Huey, was shot down over enemy territory, Captain Walden became a casualty, along with one of her men. Now, the army wants to give Captain Walden a medal - the kind fastened on so many men in wars past, but never before on a woman.

Isaiah Young takes on the task of narrating a the novel version of the film we've probably all seen: Courage Under Fire. He does do admirably and confidently, enhancing the experience and helping craft a memorable listen that is superior than the film.

I haven't laughed so hard to an audiobook in a LONG TIME.
Narrating with the gusto and humor of a hilarious Monty Python sketch, Hannibal Hills gives us his rendition of The Odd Job.
A dark slapstick caper that will entertain far after you finish listening.

Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.

Charley Brewster is a horror movie fan, a kid with an active imagination. So, when he begins telling people that his new next-door neighbor is a vampire, no one believes him. Not the police, not his girlfriend Amy, not even the school weirdo Evil Ed. But Charley's seen the coffin and the bodies drained of blood and knows he will be the vampire's next victim.

It was a day like any other. Except it was our last.... It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny. As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
The life of a sword-for-hire was often uncertain, but for beautiful, sensual Corson Brenn Torisk it was the only one worth living. When Corson was hired by the Lady Nyctasia, it seemed that fortune was smiling at last. The Lady was pretty, amusing, and rich, and her reputation for sorcery, she assured her new bodyguard, was greatly exaggerated. For Corson had little liking for magic, and less for magicians. But she had a high regard for her own skin, and when her employer's enemies proved both numerous and determined, she soon decided a sword was not enough.

Reviewed: 10-24-20
Move over Red Sonja, Corson brenn Torisk is the heroine I've been wanting to read about in my Sword & Sorcery novels from the 80s!
Massively ahead of it's time, J. F. Rivkin's SILVERGLASS is a tale full of strong women, sorcery and danger. I absolutely loved every paragraph of this book.
Narrated by the incredible Aven Shore, she BECOMES Corson brenn Torisk. Aven brings such strength and grace to this book, I couldn't imagine it being narrated by anyone else.
Looking forward to the next 3 books and more wild adventure!
