The Book Nook by CC-Liz

Everyone has their own preferences and everyone looks for something a little different in what they read. Sometimes, I need a break from actually reading books; in these moments I turn to Audiobooks. Audiobooks have become my best friends during reading slumps, road trips, and even filing room work. There are days when I spend hours working in a filing room and more often than not, I have an Audiobook going to help keep me motivated! For example, yesterday I had an early morning road trip, so I decided to checkout a book from my local library (coincidentally that narrator will be on this list as well). 1.Tim Curry I first found a Tim Curry narration by complete accident.

  Jeannie Vanasco has created a work of genius with this memoir. "Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl" could be seen as a new direction for the #MeToo movement. Vanasco's memoir addresses her confusion regarding a sexual assault from high school by her best friend. Throughout the book it questions 'if good people can do bad things or if there are just bad people?' Vanasco went a step further than writing about her assault, she interviewed the man who raped her, whom she refers to as Mark in this book. The reader gets a full view of Jeannie's and Mark's interactions since Vanasco includes transcripts of their phone calls and the eventual visit. It is a harrowing and eye-opening experience. There is a real feel to the book that some sexual assault memoirs lack; it seems disjointed just because you get to see firsthand all of Vanasco's thoughts. Survivors will feel validated knowing they aren't alone with the way their brain can go after
