🎧 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 […]

🎧 Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros  @RebeccaYarros @rsolervo @TEDDYHAMILTON14 @recordedbooks #LoveAudiobooks

I’m here to tell you Fourth Wing is worth the hype.  I highly recommend it!  Who doesn’t love dragons? There is great world-building with young adults trying for different colleges of a sort. Violet, our heroine, is the daughter of a dragon rider and a scribe.  Because her physical strength is limited and she loves […]

Read-along & #Giveaway: Hunted by Kevin Hearne @KevinHearne @luckylukeekul @DelReyBooks @PRHAudio  #Read-along #GIVEAWAY #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

  Hunted, the sixth installment in the Iron Druid Chronicles, is another exhilarating supernatural thriller that takes readers on a non-stop, action-packed journey.  I stopped reading this series mid-way through Tricked and I was happy for an excuse to jump back in.  In Hunted, the story picks up immediately after the events of Trapped, where […]

🎧  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, […]

🎧 Series review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson @HoJay92 @BaileyCarrVOICE @LLAudiobooks @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM #COYER #ReadASeriesinaMonth

  I chose the series after reading the first book as part of COYER book club.  Berls and I are doing our Series in a Month as a buddy read. I enjoyed this short setup for the series. Kill Joy introduces the group of friends as they play a murder mystery type game.  Pip isn’t […]

🎧 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 […]
