This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection

Like reminiscing with a dear friend

If you're looking for an audiobook that feels like spending an afternoon with a good friend, I highly recommend This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection. Having Carol Burnett read the book herself makes all the difference. It doesn't feel like she's performing a memoir—it feels like she's sitting across the table, sharing stories from her life over a cup of coffee.

Some stories made me laugh out loud, while others were surprisingly touching. Carol has a way of talking about both the happy and difficult moments in her life with honesty, humor, and a quiet strength. She never comes across as bitter or self-important—just genuine, thoughtful, and wonderfully human.

Even if you don't know much about her career, her stories are entertaining because they're really about the people she's met, the lessons she's learned, and the experiences that shaped her. By the end, I felt like I knew her a little better and wished there were a few more chapters to listen to.

This audiobook left me smiling, laughing, and occasionally reaching for a tissue. If you enjoy memoirs that feel warm, personal, and full of heart, this one is definitely worth your time.
