Chatting Books Online Day 170. Today's recommended book is Squeeze Me by Carl Hiaasen.
Carl Hiaasen is at it again cracking us up with the wild goings on in south Florida. This book, which was obviously written recently, combines swanky galas in the Palm Beach area, a tanning bed obsessed, overweight President running for re-election during a pandemic shut down (crystal hand sanitizer dispensers at the doors of the winter white house etc) , pythons, secret service agents, immigration protestors, missing jewels, a young and attractive wildlife wrangler with an interesting past , and it even has a reappearance from two of the zaniest characters from previous Hiaasen novels.
And that's all I'm going to tell you because I don't want to spoil the fun for you when you read (or listen) to it for yourself.
I mention listening because that is how I enjoyed this book. I used my https://www.libro.fm/conundrumbooks account to download and listen to this book just as soon as it came out last week and could not wait to get back in the car each day to hear more. We do , of course, also have it available in store in hardcover for $28.95 a copy.
For anyone who hasn't tried audio books yet, or maybe you tried another audio book company in the past, let me tell you a bit about this great service through Libro. You can either subscribe for just $14.99 a month which gets you a credit good for one audiobook a month (a bargain , this book for instance costs $31.50 to download without a subscription) . If you want to listen to a second, or third, or fourth etc book in a month you get a 30% discount on additional books. I have found audiobooks to be an unexpected and joyful addition to my life. It was not something I thought I would be interested in , being pretty much a book held in the hand snob, until now. I first tried audiobooks just to try it out before offering it to our customers but now find it to be a integral part of my every day "reading" experience.
To purchase a copy of this book come see us Mondays - Saturdays between 10:30am and 4pm at the shop, or you can message me and we can ship a copy directly to you. Take Care, Mask Up, and Keep on Laughing !
