🎧 Space Academy Vagrants by C.T. Phipps and Michael Suttkus @ctphipps.bsky.social @CT_Phipps @JeffreyKafer @PodiumAudio #LoveAudiobooks @audiobookmel.bsky.social @AudiobookMel

I’ll be upfront that I wrote this review way too long after listening, so I’m a little light on details, but I’m confident I got the important part right, which is that I really enjoyed it. I’m always happy to spend more time with Vance Turbo, and this time I’m glad I didn’t wait as […]

🎧Shaw Connolly Lives to Tell by Gillian French #GillianFrench #SaskiaMaarleveld @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

I have not read Gillian French previously.  Perhaps because more of her work is in the Young Adult genre and this is an Adult offering.  The main character here is Shaw Connelly who is a fingerprint and evidence technician for the police.  She is very experienced and is training a new officer. Shaw’s older sister […]

🎧Sirens by Kerrigan Brynne, Cynthia St. Aubin #KerriganByrne #CynthiaStAubin #StellaHunter @narratedbyteddy.bsky.social @tantoraudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @RobinBridgeFour #KindleUnlimited

What is it about small towns and quirky characters?  Sirens book five of the Townsend Harbor series has its share of them, between transplant townies, the lesbian sex shop owners in their seventies and new Townsend Harbor, “trying to be a bartender and failing miserably, while researching a former madame” resident Margaret. Townsend Harbor offers […]

Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie @ruthsd.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 #SundaySeries

    Ruso and Tilla accompany his former Centurion boss to Rome where he was promised Accius’ assistance setting up a private practice in Rome.  Unfortunately, that didn’t work out just yet and now another body appears on his doorstep, literally.  Ruth Downie’s historical mystery series set in Ancient Roman Empire days continues to dazzle. […]

🎧 Some Sort of Justice by Peter Grainger #PeterGrainger @GildartJackson #UnionSquare&Co #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

I am always thrilled to have more in the DC Smith series.  I don’t suppose one would have to read them in order but there is a lot of history, personal growth, and world building one would miss. Some Sort of Justice, in particular, it would be important to read The Late Lord Thorpe  first, as […]

Dear Anne, I am writing to tell you how wonderful it is to have a blog full of book recommendations that never let me down.  Keep up the good work. Sincerely, KC Maley While not as eloquent, I suppose that was inspired by Virginia Evans’ debut novel, The Correspondent; a masterfully executed, emotionally devastating, and […]

🎧 An Artful Dodge by Karen Odden @karenodden.bsky.social #AnnaBurnett @sohopress.bsky.social @recordedbooks.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

🎧 An Artful Dodge by Karen Odden @karenodden.bsky.social #AnnaBurnett @sohopress.bsky.social @recordedbooks.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

My favorite genre in historical is mysteries and I am so pleased Karen Odden invited me to read her latest, An Artful Dodge.  (The ebook has a character list at the start, with no info similar in the audio, which was helpful for spelling and clear definition of relationships.) The story follows a talented young […]
