  • Marilyn Reads

    I am a big fan of Marilyn Lightstone of The New Classical FM 96.3 radio station where I listen to Marilyn every night on her radio show at 11 PM to 1 AM

    And I’ve listened to several of Marilyn’s podcast books and I thoroughly enjoy each one because Marilyn brings a wonderful style of storytelling to each episode of every book that draws you in and makes you feel like you’re a part of each story, and this is especially true with the Mariposa short stories.

    I highly recommend that you try listenin... more

    Maybe read Wikipedia cast of characters first.
