Would you consider the audio edition of Love, Like Water to be better than the print version? I'll be looking for this narrator in the future, you can be sure! **Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**Įxtraordinary narrator make all the difference I probably would have given this book 3.5 stars or maybe 3 stars for the content if it wasn't for the spot-on narration that elevated this book to a work of art. ![]() And while I certainly felt the beginnings of love between him and Eli, I felt like the romance could have used more marinating. He went back and forth with his feelings so often that I got whiplash. I wanted more from his character, more something. What? I love being emotionally shredded! However, I thought that Joshua was a bit too stubborn and pig-headed for me to fully relate to him. I enjoyed the slow burn relationship between the two MCs and the angst in this book. Admittedly, cowboys are not my thing and neither are guys in the closet. She consistently and artfully produces stories that never fail to touch me. ![]() DAMN he had a perfect voice for this book! I'm not sure if he is Hispanic or Native American but he had that soulful, deep, perfectly accented tone to his voice that fit this book like a glove. Kelly recite the phone book and I think I would be in heaven. **Audiobook edition** I could listen to K.C. ![]() ![]() ![]() In context of that publicity, library officials had mounted a fundraising campaign to finance a $22.5 million makeover of the Independence landmark, and had organized a “Grand Rededication” in 2001.īefore McCullough’s 2007 address a reporter asked him what role he and his book might have played in what ended up being almost $24 million raised to fund the library’s renovation. The book, along with the 1995 HBO film based on it and starring Gary Sinise, had elevated the Truman story to a place in American memory it hadn’t occupied in decades. It spent 43 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, received a Pulitzer Prize and sold more than a million copies. ![]() McCullough published a biography of Harry Truman in 1992.

In 2020, when the world was on lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bookworms on the platform helped catapult Silvera’s novel to the top of the New York Times best-seller list. The novel was published in 2017, but it saw an unexpected surge in sales three years later thanks to BookTok, the subsection of TikTok that has proven powerful when it comes to launching best sellers. The story follows their romantic adventures together as they try to make the most of their last day.

Yet, from what I've experienced, the sky islands help prevent this returned trip to a familiar Hyrule from feeling repetitive by bringing a new landscape to a world many of us have spent months exploring. ![]() Outside of the game's trailers and a Bokoblin infested fort I invaded during a recent preview event at Nintendo's European headquarters in Germany, we don't know how much the Hyrule overworld has changed since Breath of the Wild. Tears of the Kingdom is unique in the Zelda series in that it's the first time a new instalment has reused a Hyrule from a previous game rather than completely reinventing the country.
