Swooning!!! Loving this memoir 🥰Audio is a MUST!! If your an #80sGirl or guy this is a trip down memory lane!! Bonus if you‘re participating in #ReadingAmericas23 this could count towards #Jamaica BTW: War is STILL one of my all time favorite albums 🙌🏻

BarbaraBB Mine too. Great suggestion! Maybe I do have my alternative for Jamaica @Megabooks 😀. Does he read it himself? 1y

BarbaraBB I already see he does 😂 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB 👍🏻👍🏻 I initially passed on this at the library due to length, but I may come back to it. 1y

TrishB October is hubby‘s fave, I think he has about 15 vinyl versions. 1y

Cinfhen He also goes to #ElSalvador @BarbaraBB and #Ethiopia - he reads and sings 🙌🏻❣️and he gives the “story” behind some of the bands most iconic songs, which makes every song now more meaningful @Megabooks - I think you‘d both LOVE the audio. Bono is poetic, a real humanitarian 1y

Cinfhen I think I love Joshua Tree second most @TrishB but I get the sense that Bono is most connected to October 1y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @TrishB October is one of my faves too, along with Boy and Under a Blood Red Sky. Along the way I liked them less 1y

Hooked_on_books I‘m an Achtung, Baby gal myself. You may have convinced me to listen to this one. I do love the man. 1y

Cinfhen I promise you‘ll probably love him more @Hooked_on_books !!! Like @BarbaraBB I like their earlier stuff but im still a fan of the man, the band and the music 🎶♥️😊 1y

TrishB Hubby followed them round in their very early days and has slept on their hotel room floors way before they were famous. Despite some of the bad press (mainly Bono) gets he still loves them dearly for the early days. I know he is really looking forward to listening to him in a couple of weeks. 1y

Cinfhen VERY COOL!!! I have a feeling #MrB is gonna love this memoir @TrishB (edited) 1y

Kangaj1 I got hubby the print version and he bought himself the audio. He is loving this book, so I may have to read it too. 1y

Cinfhen It‘s an investment of time @Kangaj1 but well worth it 💗 1y

So I already nixed my first download {too complicated ~ Cold Millions} Maybe I‘ll have better luck with some of these.... @Megabooks recommended top two,which I‘m sure will be perfect 🤞🏼🤞🏼If anyone else has some “light” audiobook suggestions feel free to leave titles below 😻Thanks

TrishB I read a Rowell one as part of the author a month- definitely light ❤️😁 3y

IamIamIam You can't go wrong with Sue Grafton! The narrator is awesome! I loved the Penderwicks on audio too! 3y

Megabooks The Demi Moore is good. I think you‘d really enjoy it! #80sgirl 3y

Sweet Sorrow: The Long-Awaited New Novel from the Bestselling Author of ONE DAY

squirrelbrain I‘m enjoying this one at the moment...

Olive

KarenUK Or this one is a lovely comfort listen

Garden Spells

KarenUK Or this one 🤷‍♀️😘

The Switch

squirrelbrain I just listened to The Switch too @KarenUK - lovely and fluffy but a decent storyline and a bit sad in places too... the perfect all-rounder! 3y

KarenUK @squirrelbrain And I just stacked Olive... sounds just my cup of tea 👯‍♀️💕 3y

squirrelbrain I think you‘ll like it @KarenUK - we often like the same books, don‘t we?! #booktwins 3y

Cinfhen I‘m loving all of these suggestions @KarenUK @squirrelbrain @IamIamIam going to check my various subscription services....and I should have known you‘d suggest a David Nicholls, Karen ♥️

Sweet Sorrow

squirrelbrain I‘m listening to Olive on Scribd, if you have that Cindy. 3y

LiteraryinLawrence I agree about The Switch. 3y

AlaMich This one is a memoir but it‘s pretty funny. The author reads it and she is a standup comic.

The Clancys of Queens: A Memoir

Cinfhen Thanks @AlaMich I‘m heading into a mandatory 14 day quarantine once I land, so I think I‘ll have plenty of listening time...collecting these recommendations is awesomeness 3y

I‘m not a gamer and I‘m not the target audience for this book but I loved it! The 80s pop culture was awesome (yes, there was a LOT of it , but as an 80s kid, I didn‘t mind) and it held my attention throughout. Now I want to see the movie! #booked2019 #booktomovie
