🎧  Hello Stranger by Katherine Center @katherinecenter @PattiMurin @StMartinsPress @MacMillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

Hello Stranger was a journey of personal growth for Sadie.  I didn’t figure out her name until later in the books because a person doesn’t call themselves by their own name.  We are mostly shared her thoughts and point of view.  Sadie had a rough childhood with her mother’s death, her father’s withdrawal into grief […]

🎧 All The Sinners Bleed by SA Crosby @blacklionking73 @alazarrewhite @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

🎧 All The Sinners Bleed by SA Crosby @blacklionking73 @alazarrewhite @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

All the Sinners Bleed is the second audio I have read by this author. The world-building and characters are so good.  The racism and white supremacy folks are horrifying but probably rather accurate. Titus is a former FBI agent and comes home after a bad incident when his father needs more help.  He ended up […]

🎧 Witch King by Martha Wells @marthawells1 @EricMok97 ‏ @tordotcom @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

I didn’t know what to expect here but I love scifi and Murderbot is one of my very favorite series.  However, Witch King feels more like epic fantasy.  There are lots of characters and types of characters with complex abilities and magic.  I think I will definitely want to read again, possibly listening while reading […]

🎧 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 […]

🎧 Blind Spots by Thomas Mullen @Mullenwrites @garytiedemann @MinotaurBooks   @MacmillanAudio #LoveAudiobooks

There are a lot of bases covered in Blind Spots. There is a police procedural mystery but also a science fiction thriller.  I enjoy all of these genres and the technological aspects in the story were interesting. Basically a virus caused The Blinding 7 years ago. Technology was developed so that people would be able […]

🎧 Murder at Haven Rock by Kelley Armstrong @KelleyArmstrong @tplummer76 @MinotaurBooks @MacmillanAudio  #LoveAudiobooks

The Rockton series is much loved by me, and one of my most anticipated releases each year.  I would say I have grown to be a huge fan of this author in a variety of genres and her recent series.  I would not try to read this as a standalone because of character development and […]

🎧 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.  […]
