Volume 81: May 17, 2020

Hello fellow Accomplice!

Looks like I’ve got a sleeeeepy RoRo who’s kinda sorta sick of everyone Sheltering in Place with him--drat these humans and new girl cats.

Well, I’ve gotta tell ya, were it not for audiobooks and Professional Development at work, I’d be one crazy and sleeeeepy individual myself! I do hope you like the audiobooks for this week as I must say the week’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month’s choices were AWEsome!

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! Are you still Sheltering in Place?

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

Listening To Now 2020-05-17 — Maybe it’s just me, but boy am I unmotivated: Just can’t seem to get going.
Fortunately, I have audiobooks, and it all means that I’m gonna go for some good ol’ self-soothing Listening for this week.
It’ll be a hodgepodge of favorite authors with the book y’all chose for me... which I must admit I was kinda sorta rooting for cuz it seems eeeeerie!
Care to join me in this week’s Lollygagging?!?
Details for the audiobooks are on the **Listening to Now** page.

Tell Me Whats Next 2020-05-17 — Nope—no keyword to scroll for just series starters to choose from. Cuz I’m going craaaazy with one day blending into another and I DESperately need stuff to look forward to, such as: Next in Series!
Any of these look good to you? Tell me which series to start, and I’ll oh so joyfully get right on it all.
**Vote** once, twice, thrice; whatever. Just gimme a green light!!!
Details for the audiobooks are at **Tell Me What’s Next**. Feel free to also **suggest another audiobook** for review.

Audiobook Accomplice American Panda Review — **American Panda**

*By: Gloria Chao / Narrated By: Emily Woo Zeller*
Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins
**Well, wow… I was expecting light Chick-lit with a side o’ teen angst, and I got something with a bit of depth instead!**

But look at who’s wide awake and making eye-contact! Perhaps Blanche shall inspire me to get my act/mood together and listen to audiobooks… on a phone that’s TOTALLY on the blink… Whatever: It’s just nice to see the girl loving some shoes instead of hiding in the closet!

I dooo hope y’all are safe and in good spirits; we can do it, y’all!!!

Stay safe and socially distant, wash your hands often… and again: DON’T touch your face. Press Play on your audiobook instead.

See ya next Sunday!

Your Accomplice, Gillian
