Volume 233: November 5, 2023

Hello fellow Accomplice!

Well, October was a special month. My dearest Doulos buddy had his birthday, and I celebrated him by listening to Faves of his.

Huzzah to the best thing I received from End of Life Doula training!

Plus?

Other Listens to round out m’ month.

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!

And so onto a new month, and stuff I’m going to be listening to. First off, a Hope-to-Be grand listen that I’ll be doing with a wondrous Group of Gals who happen to write cuz, like, it’s in their blood.
And ‘tis **Native American Heritage Month**, so I’ll be taking a shot with a **Fave author**.
Tack on some nonfiction, twoooo, one from **a historian of great note**… and one audiobook of a sous chef Extraordinaire… Cuz **Thanksgiving** is coming up and it’s all about grub, and makers of grub.
And I’m set. Y’all care to take on one, or some, of the above?
Details for the first week’s audiobooks are on the **Listening to Now** page.

And dudes!, we’re coming up on the **Holidays** (Right?! Decorations already festooning the stores, riiiiight after **Halloween** for cripes sake!).
These are a few offerings for me to choose from. Little Listens that’ll gimme a chance to add bigger Listens to each week.
Have a Fave?
They run the gamut of **Kids**, **Women’s Lit**, a **Classic** and famous author, and an author noted for plucking on heartstrings. **Vote** now and **vote** often; it’ll be December before we know it!
Details for the audiobooks are at **Tell Me What’s Next**. Feel free to also **suggest another audiobook** for future review.
