🎧 A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters  @recordedbooks #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

🎧 Jason Fitger Series by Julie Schumacher #JulieSchumacher #RobertsonDean @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

    The English Experience by Julie Schumacher popped up in my library recommendations.  The funny synopsis and snappy cover art were reason enough to add it to my TBR list.  Upon further investigation, I found it was the third book in the Jason Fitger series; so naturally I had to begin at the beginning […]

🎧 Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster @BecMcMaster @AlisonLarkinTEA @TantorAudio #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited @4saintjude

I adore the steampunk genre, and several years ago I discovered Bec McMasters’ London Steampunk series.  Recently, I was surprised to find there was a connected series that I had not read.  Unfortunately, it only took me two chapters into the new book to realize I remembered very little about the original series, except for […]

🎧  Elantris by Brandon Sanderson @BrandSanderson #JackGarrett @RecordedBooks #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM @4saintjude

Epic fantasy, by definition, should be epic.  It typically involves a grand and sweeping narrative that spans a vast world with many characters, cultures, and conflicts.  I find that they are often stories that stay with me forever.  That might be good, seeing as they usually require a huge investment in time (and sometimes money, […]

🎧 It’s a Wonderful Midlife Crisis by Robyn Peterman @robynpeterman @JessicaAlmasy @BlackstoneAudio #LoveAudiobooks  @4saintjude

I was looking for snarky paranormal romance/urban fantasy when I came across It’s a Wonderful Midlife Crisis by Robyn Peterman, the first installment of the Good to the Last Death series, in my library’s suggestion list.  I enjoyed her previous books, and after meeting the author in person at several conventions, knew her to have […]

🎧 The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan #RobertJordan @KateReadingVO @MichaelKramerVO @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

Back in 1992, my soon-to-be husband brought home what might have been the thickest paperback novel I’d ever seen, The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, the first book in the Wheel of Time series.  As we were both students with full schedules at the time, opportunities for ‘joy-reading’ were few and far between.  […]
