Audiobook Review: Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez

Audiobook Review: Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez

Posted January 13, 2022 by Whitney in Review / 1 Comment

Reviews Done Quick At first, I thought I was in for a light-hearted novel ala Jennifer Lopez’s The Wedding Planner. However, it took a quick serious turn and drew me in almost immediately. Xóchitl González’s writing is lyrical and with the combination of the audiobook’s narration, I found myself listening to parts over again. Olga […]

Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl

Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl

I really liked this as it […]
