Publisher's Summary:

The playful, epic adventure of a 160-pound English Mastiff and the 20-something girl who grew up alongside her. Marley and Me for a whole new generation.

Lauren Watt took her 160-pound English Mastiff to college, so of course after graduation Gizelle followed Lauren to her first tiny apartment in New York. Because Gizelle wasn't just a dog; she was a roommate, a sister, a confidante, a dining companion, and everything in between. Together Gizelle and Lauren went through boyfriends, first jobs, a mother's struggle with addiction, and the ups and downs of becoming an adult in the big city. But when Gizelle got sick and Lauren realized her best friend might not be such a constant after all, she designed an epic bucket list to make the absolute most of the time they had left.

Bursting with charm, this unique coming-of-age story of a girl making her way through life is a testament to the special way pets inspire us to live better, love better, and appreciate the simple pleasures. Gizelle's Bucket List is the humorous, poignant lesson our pets teach us: to embrace adventure, love unconditionally, and grow into the people we want to be.

Title: Look at You Now

Subtitle: One Girl's Journey from Shame to Strength

Author: Liz Pryor

Narrator: Liz Pryor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

In 1979 Liz Pryor is a 17-year-old girl from a good family in the wealthy Chicago suburbs. Halfway through her senior year of high school, she discovers that she is pregnant, a fact her parents are determined to keep a secret from her friends, siblings, and community forever. One snowy January day, after driving across three states, her mother drops her off at what Liz thinks is a Catholic home for unwed mothers but which is, in truth, a locked government-run facility for delinquent and impoverished pregnant teenage girls. In the cement-block residence, Liz is alone and terrified, a fish out of water - a girl from a privileged, sheltered background living amid tough, street-savvy girls who come from the foster care system or juvenile detention.

But over the next six months, isolated and in involuntary hiding from everyone she knows, Liz develops a surprising bond with the other girls and begins to question everything she once held true. Told with tenderness, humour, and an open heart, Look at You Now is a deeply moving story about the most vulnerable moments in our lives and how a willingness to trust ourselves can permanently change who we are and how we see the world.

Critic Reviews:

"A funny, tender and brave coming-of-age tale." (People)

Gripping Story

Any additional comments?

Really good story, gripping and quite emotional. My only negative comment would be the ending is so abrupt I actually thought I had skipped a couple of chapters

Emotional Roller coaster of a Book!

I was very skeptical about this book after reading the first chapter but it developed in a book of insight and character. The relationships between Liz, her parents, the girls and support staff read a compelling story. I definitely recommend this book. It's provides an array of emotions color and laugh-out-load moments amongst a very serious and though provoking subject.

Would love to know more!

What did you like most about Look at You Now?

The book was written with great detail and absorbed you in to the words of every character, feeling, place and moment.

Which character as performed by Liz Pryor was your favourite?

All really interesting characters with their very own real story to be heard one day! Would be great to hear a sequel or two as to where the characters are now in their lives, did they reunite, stay in touch etc?

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Liz tells a rather sad but powerful story with an ending you wished was going to be different. I was also left with a question at the end which would probably be small to other readers but big to me - what was the baby - boy or girl? Though this doesn't change the enormity of what's happened to Liz, I just so wanted to her to say, my baby ??

Any additional comments?

I've only given a 4 for the performance, whilst Liz delivered well the recording itself broke a few times leaving me wondering if I'd missed something.

Having said that I would still recommend this book as a good read/audio.

Title: Mike and Maxine: Whither Thou Goest...

Subtitle: Two Alzheimer's Journeys

Author: Jan Fielder Ziegler

Narrator: Heather L. Tyler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-17

Publisher: JFZ/HLT

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

First Mike. Then Maxine. The inspiring story of the heartrending descent of this husband and wife into the abyss of Alzheimer's unfolds in a series of poignant interrelated essays. This is a moving personal story of their family recorded by their daughter Jan over a period of a quarter of a century as they journeyed together on a struggle that is simultaneously universal but uniquely theirs.

Set in rural Arkansas where the hot, dusty rows of crops and the deep, starry summer nights define existence, this memoir introduces a young couple in love on the cusp of World War II. Glimpses of their meager but rich lives bring shimmers of light to the darkness of the Alzheimer's experiences. Small victories shared by this extended family in all their quirks and endearing peculiarities add a measure of balance against the heartbreak.

This work brings to the listener an intimate and honest view inside a place that is both strange and familiar. The story introduces people - ordinary people - who reflect hope and despair, people who question, who resist, but in the end who must face the human condition of travel down a road of uncertain destination. And it shines a light on the way this journey shapes the lives of those who travel the same road from afar.

The story of Mike and Maxine matters ultimately because it is a story of triumph - the triumph that comes when brothers and sisters, spouses, sons and daughters, grandchildren, family and friends, when all walk together on that journey none of them wants to take. Theirs is a story of the triumph of learning to recognize and cherish the good that is never far away, of growing stronger as the road stretches on.
