Book Description:
The Bible can feel overwhelming, but studying it is easier and more exciting than you think.
Christians are supposed to love the Bible, right? They’re supposed to tell Bible stories, explain their beliefs, and recite favorite verses from memory.
But Scripture is sometimes hard to read! It can be complex, boring (yes, you can say that), and difficult to apply. Many of us carry secret shame about how little we read the Bible. We want to grow as Christians, but we don’t know how.
Faith Womack understands those feelings. Growing up in a home where Bible verses were used to control her, she yearned to grow close to God but found the Bible confusing and boring. After a spiritual wakeup in college, she discovered the life-changing power of real Bible study. Free of the spiritual abuses of her past, she has devoted her life to helping readers like you get excited about Bible reading.
In No More Boring Bible Study, you will:
- Learn quick, easy study methods
- Get energized by the story of Scripture
- Grasp new concepts that bring the Bible to life
- Have fun (yes!) doing close study
- Grow closer to God
Learning to read and study the Bible is life-changing. It’s time to free yourself from the guilt of not getting it. Make your Bible study exciting again!
Jessica’s Review:
No More Boring Bible Study (NMBBS) is a great study piece for beginners in their faith and those not familiar with the Bible. The Bible can be intimidating in the first place, and then to choose the ‘correct’ version for you to read and understand it can be just as confusing. Faith Womack understands this and strives to help those who need assistance with reading and understanding the Bible, myself included.
NMBBS is easy to understand and is a short 5.5 hour listen. You can feel how passionate Womack is with bringing her words to life in this study as narrator. You can even feel her emotion as she narrates this Bible study.
At no fault of this Bible study book, for me personally the audio was a good introduction, but I would definitely benefit from a physical copy to be able to study on my own. I found myself wanting to go back and be able to actually study, but was not able to with the audiobook. And this is the point with this book! To learn to actually study the Bible. There are mentions of a PDF attachment which were not included in my review copy. I felt having this would have also have improved on the book.
I did like how Womack summarized at the end of each chapter with what she calls ‘Bible Nerd Notes’. One thing that did surprise me were that there were two sentences in different parts of the book that came off as ‘political jabs’ to me. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but I actually listened to those sentences a second time. Political jabs are not necessary with a Bible Study book, if you agree with the statements or not.
Overall, I enjoyed this Bible Study and hope to get a physical copy of this book at some point.
Thank you to the publisher for having the book available as “Listen Now” on NetGalley. I most likely would have never heard of the book if it had not been there.

Book Description:
They were each other’s first love. Now they might be each other’s last hope.
Cybil Langford has spent years hiding behind her polished, professional facade as the executive assistant to a powerful real estate mogul, where she’s perfectly positioned to collect intel on her boss’s criminal network. But when her mission leads her into the path of Lorenzo Ramirez—a ruthless crime boss with deadly plans—she’ll need every ounce of cunning and charm to stay one step ahead.
Then he walks back into her life.
Ben Bradley is deep undercover for the FBI, living under an alias, as a financial advisor with a reputation for helping the wealthy and corrupt launder their money. His target? Lorenzo Ramirez, a dangerous crime boss with his hands in everything from smuggling to murder. But when a familiar face from his past suddenly reappears, things get…complicated.
The last time Cybil saw Ben, he was an annoying prankster—and her first crush. The last time Ben saw Cybil, she stole a piece of his heart. Neither expected to run into each other at a high-stakes fundraising gala where crime, corruption, and undercover agendas collide. Now, they’re both keeping dangerous secrets–and working dangerously close to blowing each other’s cover.
Forced to work together to stop a catastrophic deal that could arm America’s enemies, Cybil and Ben must face ruthless criminals, hidden agendas, and the ghosts of their past. Trust is a luxury they can’t afford—but love? That just might be their undoing.
The intel is classified. The trust is fragile. And their covers are one lie away from blowing wide open.
Jessica’s Review:
This was a fun read! It seems like Spies, Lies, & Alibis is being marketed as a no spice romance, but the romance is on the back burner as the story is all about the mystery and spy centered. For me it was reminiscent of the 1994 film True Lies with Arnold Scharzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, except our ‘book couple’ are not married. They knew each other as kids, and what’s worse: They recognize each other! What’s wrong with running into an old school pal? Well see, Ben is an undercover FBI agent and has been this way for 18 months! Now he has to worry about his job and Cybil ruining his cover. Cybil also has secrets as she is a spy and Ben is trying to figure out if she is actually a ‘bad guy’ or not! As a side character we get Ben’s entertaining grandmother who you can’t help but love and adore! She should have her own spinoff novel, I would listen that one!
We have dual narrations for Ben and Cybil, so we get both of their perspectives and pasts. And their past feelings for each other! This no spice novel has humor to it as well which makes it clean and entertaining read. It’s a book you don’t have to worry about passengers accidentally hearing something they shouldn’t!
Andrew Eiden and Dominique Salvacion were the narrators and did a good job. Eiden’s voice was unique for me, so I had to get used to his voice. But once I did both narrators kept the story entertaining.
This was Walters first novel for me and since I enjoyed it, I will be looking at what else she has written.
Thanks to the publisher for having the audio available on NetGalley!

Book Description:
What is a happily ever after really worth?
Naomi was living the quintessential love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get married, buy a dream house, start a family…
Then—he kicks her out, hires the city’s best divorce lawyers, drains their accounts, and takes up with a 20-something.
It’s a brutal end to the story. Naomi should accept defeat: move into a dingy apartment, get back into the workforce, and piece together the shattered remains of her life.
Except, why should she?
Instead, Naomi fixates on her husband’s new girlfriend. What begins as cynical curiosity soon twists into obsession—and then into something far darker. As Naomi uncovers secrets she never imagined, she realizes her own life may be in danger.
But if it keeps her perfect family intact, isn’t it worth it?
Jessica’s Review:
This is the newest by McFadden and it also has some great narrators! In the beginning third of the novel I wondered if I had talked with McFadden about MY divorce as there were some similarities: My middle name is Naomi, and Naomi’s husband did some things similar to my ex-husband. BUT… I can say that my ending is not like this novel’s ending! I did not go in the direction that Naomi did: Once I realized that there was no stopping that my marriage was over, my lawyer had it filed at the end of May in 2024 and it was finalized Mid-July 2024.
With the initial similarities I found the book a bit addicting, I did not want to stop reading. At times I identified with Naomi. But then Naomi spirals into an obsession! I was invested in what was going to happen. But a few of the twists I had figured out and the biggest thing that resulted in The Divorce getting a 3.5-star review was that the final twist was not ‘earth- shattering’ for me. It was more if a “Oh, ok” reaction to the final twist.
The three narrators are fabulous! I have listened to all of them narrator novels before and they are all ones I look out for. If McFadden keeps having these very talented narrators narrating her novels, I will definitely be listening to them!
