You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent: How to Practice Self-Compassion and Give Yourself a Break

Carla Naumburg

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

I have read a lot of very good parenting books lately and maybe that has skewed my perspective for this one. I appreciate what the Brooke is trying to do but I feel it was trying too hard to be relatable instead of being useful. Almost like they were trying to shoehorn in all of the cussing just to sound cool rather than it feeling natural to the author's voice

The Dispossessed

Ursula K. Le Guin

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

I really like the premise but I think this one would work better for me not as audio. Its not even the narrator's fault I just dont feel the style of story and how it's told works well on audio. 
Will try again when my ebook comes in via the library.

Assistant to the Villain

Not sure if it's the narrator, or just our main characters voice but it's giving "manic pixie dream girl but make it old timey" and that's just not my vibe.
