So a couple or few years ago there was a bundle deal to get 24 graphic audiobooks for $24 and that was too good for me to pass up.  Especially since it had many of my favorite authors included.  I haven’t listened to any of them yet so I decided I should.  I chose one […]

🎧The Quiet Librarian by Allen Eskens @alleneskens.bsky.social @aeskens @MuratovicIlvana @mulhollandbooks @hachetteaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

Allen Eskens is one of my favorite authors.  It’s partly the genres he has written with compassion and interesting issues and also the Minnesota settings (where I lived for many years).  The Quiet Librarian feels a bit of a departure from his usual stories. There are many triggering aspects if you are a sensitive reader. […]

🎧 Murder at King’s Crossing by Andrea Penrose @AndreaPenrose #JamesCameronStewart @KensingtonBooks @TantorAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I always love the Wrexford & Sloane series, with its found family, rugged individuals, social commentary and early scientific developments.  It’s a delight and I highly recommend them. The murder happens because various groups want to control a scientific advancement. The science is about building bridges to span longer distances.  It is developed using mathematics […]

Wow.  I love this Lady Sherlock series so much. I started by wanting to write Amazing! Brilliant! in the largest font I can use here. Then I thought about creating a huge graphic.  But that just tells you how much I enjoyed it and how impressed I am with this author but not why. I […]

Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes @AJDykes  @bethany_house  @amanda_spins_stories @bethanyhousefiction  @sophiarose1816 @Austenprose

A boyhood pact made in the Depression Era ‘30’s, a missing train and bag of mail, and a disgraced Hollywood starlet are all part of a story that begins and ends at struggling little Colorado mountain mining town of Mercy’s Peak.  I can’t decide if it was the poetic title or that blurb full of […]
