Review: Dealing with Dragons

I don’t remember much about the Enchanted Forest Chronicles from when I read them as they were published in the 90s, but I know I...

Review: The Doctor’s Girl

There will be plenty of people who tell you that Harlequin romances, especially those by Betty Neels, are fluff and complete nonsense and not worth...

Review: The Girl with Green Eyes

At the time of the publishing of this Betty Neels book, I was not much older than the protagonist and was either working for the...

Review: Sweet Tea and Sympathy

by Molly Harper Sweet Tea & Sympathy By all rights this should be called bittersweet tea because it’s coarser and less refined than I expected it to be. The main character, Molly, has a career-ending experience involving shrimp and flamingos and has to retreat to her father’s family compound to…

Review: The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story

Review: All Through the Night

by Connie Brockway All Through the Night This sounded so good! A Regency romance starring a cat burglar who steals from the rich to give to the poor while a shadowy figure tries to capture her – how could it go wrong? Oh so many ways. Let’s start with the…

Review: When

by Victoria Laurie When One of the best things about Audible is that I am exposed to books I would have never found without it. When is one of those books and I’m so glad it came up on a Daily Deal. It is about a girl, Maddie, who sees…

Review: The Master Magician

 by Charlie N. Holmberg The Master Magician I remember being disappointed in The Paper Magician. It had come with a strong recommendation and I had great expectations for it, expectations that I felt were largely left unfulfilled. I swore I wouldn’t read the next book in the series but then…

Review: “They Say / I Say”: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing

by Gerald Graff & Cathy Birkenstein They Say/I Say To continue a trend in my reading lately, here is a very helpful book turned into an only mildly helpful audio book. The advice is sound and practical and I can see it making a big difference in how I approach…

Review: Wonder Woman Unbound: The Curious History of the World’s Most Famous Heroine

by Tim Hanley Wonder Woman Unbound: The Curious History of the World’s Most Famous Heroine I listen to a lot of odd books thanks to the Audible daily deal. Because I go through almost a book a day in audio format I’m always in the market for an interesting read….

Review: You’re Never Weird on the Internet

  by Felicia Day You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) I was only peripherally aware of Felicia Day before starting this book so why read it? Well, it was a daily deal on Audible and it is about geeky stuff, so I gave it a try. I’m glad I…

Review: The Call of the Wild

by Jack London Call of the Wild I read White Fang long before I discovered this more famous dog story set in Alaska by Jack London. Maybe, if I had read this one first, this would have been my preferred story, but probably not. White Fang was much more my…
