Howdy Howdy Bookworms! Y’all know I’m a sucker for audio books and celebrity memoirs… But only funny celebrities, because the amount I don’t want to read about some celebutaunt’s spiritual awakening is STAGGERING. But.

Whiskey and Charlie by Annabel Smith

The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
Greetings Bookworms!
