![The Time Keeper | [Mitch Albom]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61vyyQ3gCqL._SL175_.jpg)
"Insightful with crisp wit"
Would you listen to The Time Keeper again? Why?Yes, this is a story that deserves a spot in anyone's library. It encourages internal and external reflections and allows for a fresh perspective with each read.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Time Keeper?The joining of three unlikely strangers separate from the constraints of time.
Which character – as performed by Dan Stevens – was your favorite?Dan Stevens' performance as Sarah Lemon, a lost teenage girl seeking purpose is not only believable but commendable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes, I fought the urge to rebel when the flight attendant asked for all electronics to be shut down.
Any additional comments?Another win for Albom

![The Forgotten Garden | [Kate Morton]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G2PFN32FL._SL175_.jpg)
"Fairy Tale, Family Mystery, & Inspiration in One"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. This story was hard to walk away from. Intertwining tales of history, fantasy, and mystery, from the voices of strong but very different women, reveal secrets and motives that evoke emotion and thought. This story touches upon the love of family, friendship, and romance. It brings to light the importance of recognizing the past, but living in the present.
What did you like best about this story?My favorite aspect of this story was the descriptive and engaging writing style. The writing reminded me of my favorite British classics. The care shown in character development and the particular voice given to children made it easy to feel for these ladies.
Which scene was your favorite?My favorite scenes were from the hidden garden: the laughter and play of children, the moments of recognition it evoked in a 65 year old, the love it sparked in a middle-aged widow. The garden tied up the loose ends and brought the mystery to light.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The beginning of the book was nice enough, but what grabbed my attention was the scene where Cassandra is told of her Grandmother's secret by her Great Aunts over tea. This secret intrigued me the same way it did Cassandra, and I was lost in the tale.
Any additional comments?I'm going to find more Kate Morton treasures.

"You won't want to put it down"
Would you listen to The Pillars of the Earth again? Why?Yes!!! It was unique and enchanting.
Who was your favorite character and why?I truly cared about these characters. My favorite was the heroine Alienna, a strong spirited modern day woman in medieval England.
What does John Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The narrator adds texture to the characters. His voice draws the reader into the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?I couldn't put it down.
Any additional comments?This is a story for everyone
