    Shopping for the Grump

    Written by Leah Busboom

    Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Renee Chambliss

    About this audiobook

    My name is Avery Warner, owner and sole employee of Too Busy to Shop, a personal shopping empire (a girl can dream) for those who simply don't have time to look for the perfect gifts for their loved ones. I cater to clientele from celebrities to busy moms to business executives. No shopping gig is too large or too small. I excel at finding gifts to delight even your eccentric Uncle Ralph or fussy Aunt Gertrude.



    Unfortunately, my shopping expertise is eclipsed by my tendency to attract catastrophe. No matter how hard I try, disaster follows me around.



    Wearing mismatched shoes to an interview? Yep, don't ask. Popping a button on my blouse in front of a hunky businessman? Not talking about it. Driving into a pond? Banished from my mind as if it didn't happen.



    There's also the small matter of falling for one of my clients. Despite my best efforts, I'm attracted to Mr. Grumpy. The stuffy businessman's scowls turn my knees to mush, and when he turns those grouchy eyes on me, my heart melts. Every now and then I get a glimmer of hope that he's attracted to me too.



    But can I get him to fall for me without setting his suit jacket on fire?

      Diary Of A Country Mouse

      Mar 3, 2020

      THURSDAY, 10 DECEMBER. Giles shows us the sample mice and I am, as if for the first time, overcome with joy. Perhaps when I was a child I had feelings like this—but not in many years. I look, for instance, at a small gray mouse, smaller than the othe

      I’d like to think I’m a fairly well-mannered person: I say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, hold doors for people, put the neighbours’ bins out when they’re away, never sing the national anthem at full volume in the middle of the library, and generally foll

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in
