Why do we call this post-apocalyptic, a future world? It's more like an almost-contemporary!

This is my third listening to "Grumpy", like the other stories, this is about saved nature and animals.

Another day, another adventure with Grumpy and green parrot. They rent a boat for a day for fishing. They didn't catch a fish but did gain a new friend.

I enjoy these very short stories of Grumpy. They are full of friendships, happy animals that care for each other. And of course, The narrator is great, too.

Thanks to Netgalley, I have given an honest review of Two if by Sea (a Grumpy the Iguana and Green Parrot Adventure Book 3) by Susan Chapman, Narrated by Trevor Gobel.

I wish loved it more!

"if you love someone, they never really leave you.
Nothing that existed could ever be gone. She must be somewhere and I thought that if I looked hard enough, I would find her…"

I was reading this book with two other books and this was supposed to finish after others. I was supposed to reading it a little before sleep or on the subway. But not only did I finish it first also I found myself listening to it stared on my laptop but wouldn't do my work! I know I know this isn't related to the book so get to the story.

An aged nurse, Emma in the asylum, All Hallow in 1903, and a man, Lewis in 2020 who remembered when he was young in a boarding school, same old asylum in 1993.

"It was because of Isak and me, and everything that happened in those last months of 1993 when I was thirteen and Isak was fourteen and we shared the same bedroom at All Hallows. The time that began at the very point when my whole world had fallen apart."

This was a historical fiction story about two friends who are curious about the history of All Hallow but, this is not all, a mysterious child, skull, bones, ghost, murder, place for torture, and a nurse who was buried on the wrong side of the graveyard.

This was a heartbreaking and suspenseful story. I enjoyed the relationship between mother and son and two friends. The characters are touchable and pleasant. I loved it.

"Pain can be alleviated. Human beings are an optimistic bunch, but it’s disingenuous to think there will always be a happy ending."

Many thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me a chance to read The Room in the Attic by Louise Douglas, I have given my honest review.

Aaron Falk, a federal financial police officer returns to his hometown, there are two crimes from the past and now, he has gotten involved.
I'm not sure I would continue this if wasn't an audiobook! The dark story is set in Australia, slowly and wild.
