Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

It comes as no real surprise that so many people find retirement planning a daunting process. If you’re one of those people, this audiobook is for you. It doesn’t matter if you are 18 or 35; the time to start retirement planning (and saving) is now. If you think you’re too late, you’ll be even later if you let it wait a moment a longer. If you believe you are too early, you’re absolutely wrong. Life has a way of sweeping by, and before you know it, you will be looking around for a financial support system that simply isn’t there, if you fail to plan, that is.

Its very uplifting stories
I am happy that the author created uplifting short stories for seniors. This is because my mom has Alzheimer’s, and it's hard for her to recall some words and memories to help her live better. One of the exciting themes I liked about the book was sports. I love sports, and the author did a great job putting together all the stories. Some were fun, educational, and uplifting, even for kids. I enjoyed the narrator’s performance and the story, which was heartwarming, peaceful and calm.

Warm Stories, Easy to Enjoy
I picked this up for my mom, but I found myself reading along too. The stories are simple yet meaningful, with just the right balance of humor and heart. It was nice to enjoy something light that didn’t feel boring or repetitive. My mom loved the variety and said they reminded her of the “good old days” without being overly nostalgic. It’s perfect for short reading sessions, and I could see it sparking conversations with family. A worthwhile find!

My grandma has been widowed for years, and loneliness is something she struggles with. This audiobook of short stories was a wonderful way to bring her comfort and a little joy. The stories are heartwarming, easy to follow, and perfect for seniors who just want something light and enjoyable to listen to. It was a great way to brighten her day, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtful gift for an elderly loved one.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The stories made me smile. Each one was short but full of meaning. Some reminded me of old memories, while others gave me new things to think about. It was very easy to listen to. I'm going to share some of the stories with my friends the next time we get together. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a little joy in their day!

Delightful Boof with Heartwarming Stories
I got this book for my mom, who loves a good story but sometimes struggles to find ones that truly resonate with her stage of life. She absolutely loved it! Every story feels like a little slice of joy—some made her laugh, others sparked old memories, and a few even had her tearing up (in a good way!). She likes how these stories celebrate life in a way that feels natural and real, without being overly sentimental. She told me it’s like having a cozy conversation with an old friend, reminding her that every day has something beautiful to offer. It’s become her go-to for winding down in the evening, and she even reads some aloud to my dad.
