More books … ooops Audiobooks

I dont think I can ever read books until retirement! I now realie the free time I had before marriage when I actually read books, the traditional way….with paper made out of wood. Then came the pdfs and then audiobooks… Audiobooks saved my life….

So the audiobooks I heard in the past couple of months are:

1. Disappearing moon cafe

2. How not to diet

3. The giver of stars

4. The Southern Book Club’s guide to Slaying vampires

5. The four winds

6. Nomadland 

7. Never split the difference

8. Make your own bed

9. Walking to listen 

10. Motherhood

11. Baby momma Drama

All the Audiobooks I listened through the Covid era

So its been 1 year and I have a little one over 2 months of age, which explains my hiatus on this blog. Without much ado I want to take time and review as much as I can before LO wakes up for his next feed.

Mrs. Everything- Amazing novel by Jennifer Weiner on 2 sisters from a Jewish American family in a post world war scenario with a good dose of feminism.

Camino Winds: A typical whodunnit novel by John Grisham set in Camino Islands. The island is filled with authors of mystery novels and nowvwith a dead author. A nice holiday read.

We have always been here: This is an amazing novel by a Pakistani Canadian author about her journey as a refugee from Pakistan to Canada. It gives a glimpse of Pakistani society and especially on the life of Ahmadis. It narrates rhe story of the author and how they immigrate  and adapt to the Canadian society. It also talks about lesbian relationships.

Motherhood: I admit this was a weird pick. But all new mothers will be able to relate to this with their journey of transition from womanhood to motherhood.

The newborn handbook: This book is written by a pediatrician on what to expect from the first three months of an infant. A good reference book for all new moms like me.

The romance reader’s guide to life: This book is set in America in the 1950s when women were still struggling for their rights to earn a livelihood in the post war setting. The author is obsessed with a romance novel and the novel is narrated alongwith her life experiences. Another good read. Similar to Mrs. everything this talks about the rise of feminism in America from 1950 till date.

So these books kept me busy throught my pregnancy and postpartum life ( somehow managed to listen to a couple of audiobooks)
