Welcome to Litsy!

Unsolved mysteries are always intriguing for me. The tragic disappearance of Amelia Earhart is one of those captivating mysteries. This is a short story about A. E.‘s disappearance in 1937. Portions of the story are told from A.E.‘s perspective while flying. Lizzie, age 15, hears A.E.‘s distress call. Excited to learn that A.E. is alive and asking for help when everyone else fears A.E. is lost at sea. ✈️

I thought this audible short was okay. I found it intriguing but kind of a let down in the end.

Trying this Audible original! About Earhart.

1937, Tampa, Florida. 15 year old Lizzie Friedlander picks up Amelia Earhart's distress signal on her father's radio.
Interesting and informative, but maybe a little too short.

Alone with the Stars is a short audiobook that switches between narrators (both excellent): Amelia Earhart and a teen girl Lizzie who hears Earhart call for help on her dad‘s shortwave radio. I felt the order of the content distracting—at a dark time in Earhart‘s story, Lizzie‘s story feels a little too bright. And a Warning: The story contains an anger-inducing act of misogyny. Overall an interesting listen.

I chose this as one of my free audible originals for this month, even though I had never heard of it. It‘s only a little over two hours long, so I finished it quickly and really enjoyed it. The concept is fascinating, and they did a really good job on the audiobook, right up to the engine sound in the background for AE‘s parts. I definitely recommend this one.

My new audiobook, free this month from Audible. I'm not very far into it but so far, it's very good.
