I was googling what audiobooks are recommended , and a book by Grady Hendrix came up on a couple of lists so I checked it out on Amazon. Turns out it was kind of a sequel (or at least companion book) to this one, so I bought them both and listened to this one first.Continue reading “My Best Friend’s Exorcism: A Novel (AUDIOBOOK) – Grady Hendrix – 17.06.20”

Little Fires Everywhere (BOOKGROUP) – Celeste Ng – 17.06.20
I watched the Amazon Prime TV series based on this book after I’d bought the book, but before I read it, which I really enjoyed. Paul and I watched the series together and found it provoked a lot of discussion about racism, classism, mother daughter relationships and other stuff, and I told the ladies inContinue reading “Little Fires Everywhere (BOOKGROUP) – Celeste Ng – 17.06.20”
Himself – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 15.06.20
Another lovely Jess Kidd audiobook with a gorgeous Irish narrator. Like other Jess Kidd books there’s magical realism as the main character Mahony (with emphasis on Ma and the middle consonant sounding like you’re clearing your throat) constantly seeing and being able to communicate with dead people. He recieves a letter with a clue toContinue reading “Himself – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 15.06.20”
Only Forward – Michael Marshall Smith – 13.06.20
I bought this because I enjoyed Hannah Green and Her Unfeasibly Mundane Existence and wanted to read more by the author. This book is more adult, but still good. It’s a kind of sci-fi, noir, private detective, alternate reality, what’s real what isn’t mend bending kind of a book and really quite an enjoyable read (withContinue reading “Only Forward – Michael Marshall Smith – 13.06.20”
Hannah Green and Her Unfeasibly Mundane Existence – Michael Marshall Smith – 06.06.20

He used his singular skills as an engineer to create a machine that keeps evilness flowing out of Earth and into Hell, and when bad things threaten to destroy the machine, Hannah must help her grandfather battle the forces of evil and restore things toContinue reading “Hannah Green and Her Unfeasibly Mundane Existence – Michael Marshall Smith – 06.06.20”
Shades Of Grey – Jasper FForde (AUDIOBOOK) – 05.06.20
I remember reading this book ages ago and really liking it, so when I saw it going cheep as an Audible audiobook I bought it. Set in a very controlled hierarchical society where most people have lost the ability to see much colour and one’s position in society is determined by how much of certainContinue reading “Shades Of Grey – Jasper FForde (AUDIOBOOK) – 05.06.20”
The Murmur of Bees – Sofía Segovia, Simon Bruni – 30.05.20
This book was recommended to my by my daughter, and since it was only 99p on kindle I bought and read it. It’s translated from Mexican and set in the early twentieth century. The story is told to the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and the spread of Spanish Flu, along with the Great DepressionContinue reading “The Murmur of Bees – Sofía Segovia, Simon Bruni – 30.05.20”
Burn – Patrick Ness (AUDIOBOOK) – 24.05.20
I was really looking forward to this book, as a big fan of Patrick Ness, but I have to say I found it a little hard to get into at first (you could say it was a bit of a slow burner -wah wah wah!). Once I had listened for a while though, I foundContinue reading “Burn – Patrick Ness (AUDIOBOOK) – 24.05.20”
The Hoarder – Jess Kidd – 21.05.20
The funniest thing just happened! I keep a word document which I update whenever I finish reading a book or listening to an audiobook so I don’t forget when I get behind writing up my blog (which is pretty much all the time…) and I was so convinced that I remembered the lovely Irish voiceContinue reading “The Hoarder – Jess Kidd – 21.05.20”
Polystom – Adam Roberts – 18.05.20
I have read quite a few of Adam Roberts books and some I absolutely love and others I am a bit meh with, this one sadly fell into the later category for me. It’s somewhat confusing working out if it’s set in our distant future, or in an alternate reality, and while the end ofContinue reading “Polystom – Adam Roberts – 18.05.20”
