Bedtime stories

I enjoyed listening to this before bed with the sleep timer set. It is one of the very few audiobooks that I will probably listen to again and again. The vivid imagery and lightheartedness are perfect for relaxing my mind so I can drift off to sleep. I hope this doesn’t sound like a bad thing because to me it is a wonderful thing that I greatly appreciate.

Great listen!

This matter of fact book totally changed my mind about death. It is highly informative and opened my eyes to the many aspects of the money death industry.

Classic Lake Wobegon Tales

Great collection of timeless tales. Garrison Keillor at his best. Even my teenage son couldn’t help but laugh.

Hello From Lake Wobegong

Most fans of Prairie home companion would love this collection of tails. Its only a collection of rebroadcasts from the radio show. So when you buy this keep in mind its a collection of things you can already hear listening to reruns. But still I got this free with my membership and I really enjoyed it.

Another Keillor classic.

What can you say? Mark twain regrettably didn’t do Audible but we thankfully have a collection of vintage American humor stories read by the boomer generation’s iconic American Humorist. I can’t get enough of GK especially in these troubled treacherous times.

The king of the monologue.

Loved it. There is none better, in my opinion.
Garrison Kieller will always be a favorite.

Peaked my interest for more

I am new to this series. I was surprised it was written in 2015. The stories seemed much further back although they were the author’s memories. This book was on the short story sale so I am pleased not to use a credit for this introduction. I loved the author’s narration! He sang and just was an excellent story teller with rye humor. I am looking forward to seeking out more from this author.
