The Sandman Act 3 (AUDIOBOOK) – Neil Gaiman – 22.10.22

For some reason, when I listened to The Sandman Act II it didn’t blow me away as much as Act I, but, for me at least, Act III was back to cracking form and I loved it! I was gripped with the stories which were both exciting and emotionally deep, I loved the cast ofContinue reading “The Sandman Act 3 (AUDIOBOOK) – Neil Gaiman – 22.10.22“

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms (Whimbrel House Book 1) – Charlie N. Holmberg – 20.10.22

I enjoyed this magical book set in the eighteen hundreds. An author, Merritt Fernsby inherits a haunted house in a remote part of America, and forms a relationship with the woman from the society that preserves magical buildings as they try to work out who is haunting them, while at the same time a veryContinue reading “Keeper of Enchanted Rooms (Whimbrel House Book 1) – Charlie N.

The Final Girls Support Group – Grady Hendrix (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.10.22

This is another audiobook that took me ages to finish, although this time it wasn’t my fault! My hubby and I listened to a Grady Hendrix short audiobook (Horrorstör) on a very strange and emotional road trip during lockdown to attend my mum’s funeral, and I managed to persuade him to listen to another onContinue reading “The Final Girls Support Group – Grady Hendrix (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.10.22“

Taken: Alex Verus Novel 3 – Benedict Jacka – 09.10.22

I’m still enjoying this urban fantasy series set in modern day London’s magical underworld. Alex worries for his own apprentice, Luna, when several young trainee wizards start disappearing and things come to an exciting head at a magic dueling tournament in an old enchanted house in the countryside! I have these books in my AmazonContinue reading “Taken: Alex Verus Novel 3 – Benedict Jacka – 09.10.22“

Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo (Audiobook) – 06.10.22

I enjoyed The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, so when this was on sale at Audible I bought it. Well, it took me a very long time to finish it. I started it and got bored, so I listed to a couple of different audiobooks, then tried again, then got bored again, and left it,Continue reading “Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo (Audiobook) – 06.10.22“

The Curious Life of Ada Baker – Karen Hamilton-Viall – 06.10.22

I won this book on a twitter competition and I remember entering because I thought it sounded just like the kind of book I enjoy. There was no obligation with the prize to write a review. (This is how I began my review which I posted on Amazon – I know from experience how valuableContinue reading “The Curious Life of Ada Baker – Karen Hamilton-Viall – 06.10.22“

The Bullet That Missed – Richard Osman (AUDIOBOOK) – 26.09.22

I am still enjoying Richard Osman’s gentle and fun series. Imagine that the Scooby Doo team are British (mostly) old people and the Mystery Machine is a nice retirement village you will get a picture of these stories. They even have a dog now. With their links so the police service, and some of themContinue reading “The Bullet That Missed – Richard Osman (AUDIOBOOK) – 26.09.22“

The Revolving Door of Life – Alexander McCall Smith – 15.09.22

The Bertie Project – Alexander McCall Smith -21.09.22 A Time of Love and Tartan – Alexander McCall Smith – 29.09.22 The Peppermint Tea Chronicles – Alexander McCall Smith – 02.10.22 So, I started reading The Peppermint Tea Chronicles on my kindle, but then realised that I hadn’t read at least one previous book in theContinue reading “The Revolving Door of Life – Alexander McCall Smith – 15.09.22“

Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22

I really loved this book! I’ve read a few Stephen Kings, but this was very different – not horror (although there were some moments of gruesome violence), but, as the title proclaims, this is a fairy tale. The main character is a seventeen year old American boy, Charlie, who lost his mother to a roadContinue reading “Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22“

The Ink Black Heart – Robert Galbraith (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.09.22

I’m a big fan of the Cormoran Strike novels, and so I was very excited for this next installment. Hmmm. I think (as many other reviewers have said) that listening to this as an audiobook was probably not the best way to enjoy it. It is a book set largely in the online world, withContinue reading “The Ink Black Heart – Robert Galbraith (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.09.22“
