Volume 228: June 4, 2023
Hello fellow Accomplice!
Aaaaand p’raps Sunshine Supergirl and I shall bring the treMENDously Fraught With Change month o’ May’s reviews to you and close it all out?
Shall we all start June off by eeeeeasing into it? By relaaaaaxing into it?
By Sunny-ing our way through the month to come?
I’m game, especially cuz May wasn’t a heavy duty Listening time, and man! do I need to relaaaax, or what?!
Please join us for the Review Wrap-Up, and? May you find something to your liking!
As always, feel free to share your favorites with me!

Dude, I am sooo at Lowered Expectations, what with Massive Life Changes working their rather disTINct Magic… i.e. Time?
POOF! GONE!!!
That said? Here’s a sketch o’ what all shall be on m’ plate for June…
Let’s start with the winner of My Next Listen, in time for Pop’s Day, to be followed by the next in a truly-loved series.
Then a Big Sis Recommendation (Shall we have the same verdict on it? Ya gotta admit, it’s fun when we disagree: “Sea of Rust” anyone?) to be followed by a Listen that, gosh darn it, I just wanna do!
HOPEfully, y’all shall find that I’m able to get to others (Do check Reviews every now and again). And if not?
Well, do join me for theeeese, yes?
Details for the first week’s audiobooks are on the Listening to Now page.
July!
Ahhhh, July!
The month that holds Independence Day always has me pondering our Nation; its greatness, its… ahhhh… Still Working On Blah Blah Struggle Blah.
On the offering are:
Current struggles in context.
A consideration of our Nation’s Fallen as told via Arlington National Cemetery.
How about a pondering of Religion and how it shapes us, our systems, our politics?
Or the question of how we’ve honored some fairly deplorable individuals, in the name of Tradition? Vote now, and vote often, and gimme a grand July Listen!!!
Details for the audiobooks are at Tell Me What’s Next. Feel free to also suggest another audiobook for future review.
