🎧 The Poisoner’s Ring by Kelley Armstrong @KelleyArmstrong @katehandford @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio  #LoveAudiobooks

While this is a time travel mystery series, this book has no time travel which suits me very well.  I’m enjoying the historical mystery and the lovely characters here.   Now in The Poisoner’s Ring, we have a series of poisonings and since Isla is a chemist there is concern she will be drawn into the […]

I really enjoy an anthology like Instinct Anthology.  It provides stories from known authors with more depth on supporting characters or further development of characters or the world.  I also get to try authors / series I haven’t before.  While some shorts feel underdeveloped or unfinished, a well-written short story is a delight. On the […]

🎧 No Surrender by Morgan Brice @MorganBriceBook @sfkale @TantorAudio #LoveAudiobooks  @sophiarose1816

It all began with a serial killer on the loose in Myrtle Beach.  I was captivated from that first book and never been disappointed by the Badlands series ever since.  A blend of opposites attract romantic suspense and paranormal that left me as intrigued by the characters and their relationship as much as the supernatural […]

Read-along & #Giveaway: Hammered by Kevin Hearne @KevinHearne @luckylukeekul @DelReyBooks #BrillianceAudio @jentwimom227 #Read-along #GIVEAWAY #LoveAudiobooks

  Having read the entire Iron Druid Chronicles before, this is my second time listening to Hammered. While I don’t give away any spoilers, I will note that my feelings about this one were definitely altered having listened to it and the entire series previously. That said, I actually enjoyed Hammered more this time around. Making good on his promise […]

Emma’s Dragon by M. Verant @M_Verant #KindleUnlimited @sophiarose1816

A gritty Gaslamp fantasy adventure set in Jane Austen’s England introduces new players, a darker plot, and, of course, more fiery dragon action.  M Verant’s colorful worldbuilding, nuanced characters, and suspenseful plot made for another enthralling read right to the very last tantalizing page. Emma’s Dragon is the second installment in a read in order […]

🎧 The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson @BrandSanderson @MichaelKramerVO @KateReadingVO #LOVEAudiobooks @SnyderBridge4

During the pandemic, some writers couldn’t write a book, others delivered like nothing was going on, some changed drastically what they were writing. But, Brandon Sanderson was/is a little different than everyone else out there and he not only delivered on his promised contracts but also wrote not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 […]
