🎧 A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers #BeckyChambers #EmmettGrosland @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks #KindleUnlimited @4saintjude

I’m not entirely sure why I started reading A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers.  It is pretty far out of my preferred genre of books.  It might have been after a discussion of books that use non-binary pronouns (they/them), but for whatever reason, I picked up A Psalm for the Wild Built, […]

🎧 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 […]

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, […]
