Hello fellow Accomplice!

 

Welcome to the week of a few o’ our little audiobook club’s Listens. Before we start our conversation, done remotely via text, we three members gather our Muses. And Sunny here often takes over Maman’s keyboard to add her two cents. 

I’ve kept her views in mind whenst reviewing the books, so get ready for Members’ views AND Muses’ views!

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!


This week, with overWHELming votes, is the winner of My Next Listen. Plus, dude, it is SO time for us to kick off the next newsletter with a couple of Black History Month Listens!

Add my Animals pick of the week.

Add another (Uhm, have to get a Regency in!) to be named and reviewed next week. And good golly gosh, am I set for the week, or what?!?

Care to join me?

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

Huzzah huzzah huzzah!

Getting ready for an upcoming homage to our dad—so here I am dithering on some of his much-loved Military Histories. Epic in scope, each has me drooling and chomping at the bit!

Only one week of voting this time, to make sure we can get the Winner in for the listen it deserves. 

Vote now and vote often!

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