One Call Away
One Call Away

Review:Emily Goodwin's books stole my heart years ago, and I just fell in love with her words all over again. One Call Away gave me ALL the feels. This is pure, satisfying romance. And did I mention hot?? Chase and Sierra had great chemistry, and at times I found myself sighing and swooning as their relationship developed. I can't wait for everyone to read this book and love it as much as I do! Read more

Black Sheep
Black Sheep

Review:This is one of Georgette Heyer's best stories. However the person who read it was terrible. The Black Sheep sounded dumb and old, The main heroine sounded like an old woman. The person who read this book, she's done others, is really bad in my opinion and keeps me from purchasing other audible Heyer books. Read more

Rip Van Winkle and Other Stories (The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon

Review:Sterling storytelling. Irving's deft descriptions and engaging prose made reading this seminal American tale satisfying and edifying. The rich vocabulary also made me wish Washington Irving plied his craft today.

It seems a shame movie makers couldn't stay closer (cleave in Washington's parlance) to Irving's charming short story Read more

The Complete Novels + A Room of One's Own (The Greatest Writers of All Time)

Review:Virginia Woolf always blows my mind with her ability to marry illustrative, vivid paintings and academic writing. I often find that she makes a clear conclusion that I have previously arrived at independently, but could have never materialized or verbalized successfully. I will always have a room of my own!

Night and Day (Twentieth Century Classics)

Review:Always hats off to Parker's story telling power. This time trivial underwear checking affair by principal develops into rather big incident for the cop of small town. Every characters in this story seem to be struggling for real love. I haven't seen the word swingers for a long time. I thought the word was a parting gift of flower generation in seventies. I never imagined those people are still existing. I'm so glad to read Jesse finally shut down Jenn who pleas coming back to him. As Japanese ... Read more

The Mysteries of Udolpho (Penguin Classic Romance Thillers)
The Mysteries of Udolpho (Penguin Classic Romance Thillers)

Review:As a female horror author, I decided last fall it was high time I read what is considered to be one of the first Gothic novels written by a woman, “The Mysteries of Udolpho” by Ann Radcliffe.

My first encounter with Gothic literature came at around the age of twelve. I’ve always been big into vampires, and as luck would have it, my best friend’s brother had a copy of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that he was willing to let me have it. 19th Century novels are hard enough for most adults, but I was...

Review:The story is quite melodramatic in the spirit of the time in which it was written. The prose is verbose and sometimes convoluted. Nevertheless, I was engaged and eager for the conclusion to be revealed. Read more

FREE Crime And Punishment By Fyodor Dostoevsky - 100% Formatted

Review:Intensely psychological, incisively political, and even hilarious at times. This book seems to be a comprehensive study of the entire human psyche. And in such a lovely way, Eliot brings a warm and genuine spirituality ala Hugo. I loved this book and find it inspirational, not only in terms of ideal human behavior and love, but in the striving for creative and expressive language. Read more
