Review
This has everything you need to know about books. Banned books, feuds, and all around need to know about books and authors all in one place!
I loved so much about this read that I purchased a hard copy. I want to make notes! This book is full of information I had no idea about. And the number of books it covers is amazing. Some I have read and some I need to read. Perfect for a bibliophile like me!
The narrator, Matthew Lloyd Davies could not have been more perfect. He was “matter of fact” and sounded so professional. Fantastic for this narration!
If you are a bibliophile…this is a must read! Grab your copy today!
I received this audiobook from the publisher for a honest review.
