Jennifer Hale should narrate more audiobooks

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

#CBR15 Passport Challenge – Different genres (Sci-fi) 15-word review: Kira touches the wrong alien artifact and things escalate wildly from there. Excellent audio book. The audio book, which even listening at x1.5 speed felt like it lasted approximately forever, is narrated by Jennifer Hale and she does an amazing job. I was surprised to see, that with the exception of this and the upcoming follow-up (the book is set in the same universe, not sure if it’s a sequel, prequel, or companion novel), she has […]

#CBR15 Passport Challenge – Different genres (contemporary romance) Readers of my blog know that all my reviews are written on my personal blog and then crossposted here on the Cannonball Read, which celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year(!) The recent comment diversion celebrating this, challenging us to write fifteen-word reviews seemed like the opposite of everything my review style represents. I frequently have review titles longer than fifteen words.  Nevertheless, I decided to use the comment diversion to try to help myself through my review […]

Another enemies to lovers romance, I did say it’s my favourite trope

I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis

Official book description: Of all the decisions brilliant lawyer Victoria Clemenceaux has made in her life, an unforgettable one-night stand with her opposing counsel Owen Pohl is either the worst…or the best. One thing is certain: these long-standing rivals aren’t going to let their searing attraction stop them from winning the biggest case of their careers. Thankfully Victoria and Owen have someone to vent to about their nemeses. But they have no idea that their online ‘friends’, Nora and Luke, are the very people they […]

“Listen, there are different ways of getting closure and one of those ways might be to make someone miserable for the sake of satisfying your petty soul.”

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

When wedding planner Carolina “Lina” Santos was mere moments from her own wedding, the best man, the groom’s younger brother came to tell her that his brother had cold feet and would not be showing up to the ceremony. Since that moment, Lina has kept a very tight check on her emotions and is now proud of her reputation as trusted, efficient, and very unflappable  She obviously doesn’t want anyone to know about her own wedding disaster a few years back.  So it’s not all […]

This should have been my tenth review of the year – not sure what happened there

The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik

by Leave a Comment

This is the concluding volume in a trilogy. It won’t really work for you unless you’ve read the previous two books. Start with A Deadly Education. Also, this review will contain spoilers for the previous book in the series, so proceed at your own risk if you’re not caught up. Galadriel “El” Higgins has done the impossible. She has not only made it out of the Scholomance with her entire graduating senior class, but with every other student in the school as well. Everyone is […]

Demons and wizards and magic – oh my!

Her grief and guilt are overwhelming, so Bree hopes that being away from home is the best way forward. She has barely arrived at […]
