BOOK OF THE WEEK: What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
|
I drove 5 hours round trip all by myself to visit Leigh in Birmingham this weekend! We did a little work and a LOT of relaxing and catching up. I HATE to drive on I-20 (so many trucks) so I was initially dreading the commute but I discovered that I LOVE listening to podcasts and books on tape! Before leaving, I downloaded the Audible App and downloaded a free book (first book is free!). I chose What Alice Forgot at the recommendation of a few friends. I spent most of the drive listening to podcasts from Passion City Church but for the last two hours of my drive home I became enthralled with What Alice Forgot. Now I’ve just got to find about 9 more hours to finish listening. Maybe I’ll make the time to go walk and listen for an hour each day? The book is soooo good so far! |

Liane Moriarty is one of my favorite authors -LOVED What Alice Forgot, as well as Big Little Lies (her newest) and The Husband’s Secret. Very humorous parenting stories, with powerful subject matter below the surface.
I have very much liked all Liane Moriarty books I have read, including this one, The Husband’s Secret and Big Little Lies, which I am listening to on old fashioned CD in my car now. Good to hear about Audible.
This book is hilarious! Keep listening!
I am reading this book right now too. Good so far. I like some of the other books by this author. Big little lies. The husbands secret.
Definitely finish it! It was a good read, as was The Husband’s Secret.
I like audible for a long car drives too. I like to listen to humor shorts, so it doesn’t matter if you finish it or not. David Sedaris’s books are my favorite for car rides. They might be a little too adult for listening to when your kids are in the car. But he is hysterically funny. I just downloaded Amy Poehler’s book Yes Please and it is a good car ride book too.
