Three things happened that resulted in a multiday binge of the Mystic Bayou series, narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Jonathon Davis. One, some reader friends have been talking positively about the series for a while. Two, the entire series is included in my Audible membership. Three, I needed a long break from reality because sometimes reality sucks. The Mystic Bayou series is 5 novels and 2 novellas (so far). That’s about 39 1/2 hours of bingeing. Mystic Bayou is a small town in Southern Louisiana […]

Sweet Talk by Cara Bastone

I’m struggling right now with three reviews. Two of them are fantastic books that give me a lot of feelings I’m trying to translate into words. One of them is for a book that has disappointed me and I’m trying to find 250 words to say “White feminism is bad.” When I get stuck like this, the best thing for me to do is to write low stakes reviews about books I enjoyed. I listened to Cara Bastone’s Love Lines series while engaged in a […]

I have been trying to read this book for four months. That may not sound like much, but this book is 100% my jam and I still could not focus on it enough to get it read. Finally, I re-upped my Audible account and got it as an audiobook read by Moira Quirk.

Rivals! Frienemies Who Changed the World by Scott McCormick

They say this is for ages 8 and up, and the sound effects and voices help with that, but there really is a lot of information in this! After finishing my other Audible Original for the month of July, The Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs, I thought I was pretty caught up on my dino knowledge. Turns out, nope! That didn’t even mention anything (that I remember) that was featured in this section! Maybe it was due to the fact that that one was made in […]

A Joy to listen to!

This was an Audible Originals pick for I think June, and I’m glad I picked it up. George and Jules are 11-year-old twins, and they love music. George plays the guitar and Jules plays the drums, and they’re pretty good musicians. They’re also pretty good kids, as evidenced by their interactions with their absent-minded mom. Their love of music comes from their Uncle Bob, who is a top-notch ethnomusicologist. But Uncle Bob has disappeared. Not just, left for work one day and was never heard […]

Good news! I didn’t have to wait until 2019 to get The Consuming Fire. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read The Collapsing Empire.

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
