One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to work, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Unable to resist her own curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a dozen photographs - each of a different woman. In a moment of impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the station. Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war.

I was really drawn into this story and it made the lives of all the people that are involved with wars seem more real.

The CIA's deepest secrets are being given away for a larger agenda that will undermine the entire Western intelligence community. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley wants it stopped but doesn't know who, how, or why. Jack Ryan, Jr., is dispatched to Poland on a different mission. The clues are thin, and the sketchy trail dead ends in a harrowing fight from which he barely escapes with his life. If that's not bad enough, Jack gets more tragic news. An old friend, who's dying from cancer, has one final request for Jack.

Gripping story

I hardly ever listen to books twice, this one I did. Even though it is gruesome in parts, the driving force of a fathers love and righting the wrongs done to his family struck a deep cord with me. But then I do enjoy Craig Johnson’s books. Great travel book too.

Katie Connelly has lived in San Francisco all her life. Her late father made his career as an ironworker on the Golden Gate Bridge, and the many stories of him trying to save jumpers still haunt her. When she's asked to write a history about the bridge, her research uncovers a secret journal hidden in her father's desk, pages of familiar advice penned by the hand of a stranger. The scribbled words tell of a promise ring and a distant love, clues that Katie hopes may answer her own unresolved sorrow.

I really enjoyed this story. It was an emotional journey but I was in the mood. The history of the bridge was interesting. I wish I had understood it from this perspective when we lived in San Francisco, many years ago.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie–a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance–mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she’s just been dumped by the “perfect” man.

Enjoyable
Reviewed: 06-30-14
Would you listen to Twenties Girl again? Why?
probably not, I don't usually read books again unless it's been a long time and they are especially complicated and thought provoking.
What other book might you compare Twenties Girl to and why?
other books by the same author
What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
using the British accent adds a flavor you just don't get by reading on your own.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When it came time to say good bye to her great aunt.
Any additional comments?
I always enjoy hearing books by Sophie Kinsella. they are light, funny and easy to put down and pick up when I only have a short time to listen, but then I can't wait to see what happens next. The main character is always a little silly and light headed in matters of the heart but at the same time endearing and sweet. The Twenties Girl was especially thought provoking concerning family and the importance of having good relationships if you can.
