Hello fellow Accomplice!

Welcome to the Cat Days O’ Summer wherein Glorious Boy Jules has been run to ground by the searing Sun… May we all find a shady spot to rest our beYONd hot selves!

Within this week’s reviews are two Summer-themed audiobooks that I gave a Go whilst huddled in struggling AC. Criminy! May you find them pleasing, and?

May you find something to your liking!

As always, feel free to share your favorites with me!

Or share your audiobook accomplice stories and photos!

Just comment below on this week’s reviews or email me at: Gillian@AudiobookAccomplice.com!


Yay! Y’all have spoken, and let’s start off with the Winner of My Next Listen!

Then I’ll be, uhm, tackling a verrrry old Classic, hoping the translation carries me through (Looking forward to this most mightily!).

After that?

Well, what looks like a very promising Animals Pick, and of COURSE I’ll be topping it all off with a Regency from an author unknown to me.

Yesssss, this is a fine week to join me!

Details for the audiobooks are on the Listening to Now page.

Kids Kids Kids Kids

I’m having a hankering to get in touch with m’ Inner Kidlet/Tween, p’raps! These four audiobooks run the gamut of styles

-BUT-

They each have something A Little Different about them. Something ominous, maybe fraught with foreboding…?

Or maybe just flat out Fun!

Vote now and vote often, yes?

Details for the audiobooks are at Tell Me What’s Next. Feel free to also suggest another audiobook for future review.

Sometimes Summer can be more than furnace blasts!

Sometimes it can be truly extraordinary sunsets. Huzzah to the setting of the Sun!

Y’all stay safe, stay cool, avoid variants, and I’ll see you next Sunday!

Your Accomplice, Gillian
