Post the title, description, and your opinion of the book you read.

Muchacho by LouAnne Johnson

I started the audio book and was disappointed in the quality of narration. The writing style did not lend itself to an audio format and the voice quality left much to be desired. I skipped to the last disc so I could hear the ending.

I think I will put The Scar Boys here. I picked it up last summer, loved the concept, and then had to return it before I could really get into it.

Now, once I've accepted audiobooks more as well as managed to keep on my RIBTAs before June hits, I found that I couldn't put it down.

It was a brilliant book for all the right reasons and can really touch many audiences- those with PTSD, those with panic attacks, those suffering from self-perception issues, those not sure about college, those who want to pursue their passions, and on and on.

Not the biggest fan of the narrator for this book, but it was a really good book lol.

Oh, and you'll want to start a Spotify playlist as you read this- so have something to keep notes on as you read!

As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride

As You Wish by Cary Elwes is a fascinating behind-the-scenes view into the making of the Princess Bride. What sets this book apart from other “making of” books is that it includes excerpts by other people involved in the movie’s creation. It is fascinating to read both Cary’s perspective on events and then to read his cohort’s opinions. I also listened to the audiobook version of this novel, which was just fantastic as many of them, like Billy Crystal, read their own side-bits.
