Oh good golly gosh! The month o’ May is, quite simply, One Of Change. Sooo, I’ll be getting to what I can get to, and huzzah for that! Let’s start with a new Kevin Wilson and then get to the winner of My Next Listen, yes?
Then, uhm, the very same author, but it’s like this, see: I just want a Quiet Contemplation, ya know?
Then? Of COURSE, a Memorial Day Listen, commemorating an event I’d never heard of, so very much looking forward to it!
Kinda a Fraught Month, but hey: Just a few on definite offer, so do say you’ll join me?
Details for the first week’s audiobooks are on the Listening to Now page.
And Oh Good Golly Gosh, again!
June is Pride Month…
June has Father’s Day…
Looking to celebrate both, but I’m dithering, I tell you: DITHERING!
Got two Pop Day possibilities, both seeming to have Pathos and Depth!
Then let’s get to two Pride possibilities, both seeming to have Humor and a bit o’ Slapstick Situations!
What Tone O’ Listen might you be up for, and do vote for it now, and do vote for it often with my undying thanks…!
Details for the audiobooks are at Tell Me What’s Next. Feel free to also suggest another audiobook for future review.

Ever-Vigilant Jules is guarding all that is lovely, wonderful. And enjoying foliage as King o’ the Jungle at the same time.
Well, fellow Accomplice, I’ve much to do, and Animal Accomplices to love, you see, so I shall bid you adieu for now.
Y’all stay safe and I’ll see y’all, uhm? when I see you?
Much love!!!
