I was quite annoyed by this audiobook, because it was the first full production/radio play audiobook I’ve listened to that I really haven’t loved, plus, I used my monthly credit to buy it whereas many of the audible productions are available free to members. It’s a farcical take on the fantasy hero quest genre, recordedContinue reading “Elvenquest: The Journey So Far: Series 1,2,3 and 4 (AUDIOBOOK) – Anil Gupta, Richard Pinto – Narrated by: Stephen Mangan, Alistair McGowan, Darren Boyd, Kevin Eldon, Sophie Winkleman, Dave Lamb – 22.11.20”

Dittany and a Death: Mystery (The Witches of Wormwood Mysteries Book 6) – Silver Nord and Ruby Loren – 16.11.20
This series of books by Ruby Loren (or her alter-ego, Silver Nord) are my guilty pleasure! It’s a supernatural ‘cozy mystery’ series with some romance thrown in – I know, reading that description would normally make me run a mile! I hate brain dead insipid romance or genre fiction, and yet, I really enjoy theseContinue reading “Dittany and a Death: Mystery (The Witches of Wormwood Mysteries Book 6) – Silver Nord and Ruby Loren – 16.11.20”
Such a Fun Age – Kiley Reid (AUDIOBOOK) – 13.11.20
This book was longlisted for the Booker, but it isn’t at all highbrow and hard to read (or in my case, listen to), in fact, I was totally gripped by it. As an audiobook, it is what I listen to when out running or walking mostly, and this book made me want to take reallyContinue reading “Such a Fun Age – Kiley Reid (AUDIOBOOK) – 13.11.20”
Home Going – Yaa Gyasi (BOOKGROUP) – 11.11.20
This was my book group read for November and a really good book. The book follows seven generations starting with two Ghanaian sisters whose lives took them on very different paths as one was taken as the wife of a British slave trader, and the other was taken as a slave and sold to America.Continue reading “Home Going – Yaa Gyasi (BOOKGROUP) – 11.11.20”
The Zeta Family – Gretchen Enders (Audible Audiobook – Original recording) Narrated by: Natasha Lyonne , Kevin Nealon , Amy Goodmurphy – 03.11.20
I have been very much enjoying listening to Audible Original productions lately, and this was another fun one. It’s a comedy sci-fi (one of my favourite genres) although, actually now that I’ve written that down, I’m thinking maybe wasn’t really sci-fi…?? It is set in New York State and is about a young woman whoContinue reading “The Zeta Family – Gretchen Enders (Audible Audiobook – Original recording) Narrated by: Natasha Lyonne , Kevin Nealon , Amy Goodmurphy – 03.11.20”
Ayoade on Ayoade – Richard Ayoade (AUDIOBOOK) – 02.11.20
‘Surreal and Hilarious’ is the quote from The Guardian on the cover of this Audiobook and I have to agree. In my house, the quiz show ‘pointless’ is watched daily, and the two hosts, Richard and Alexander often riff with each other by one of them saying a blatantly untrue ‘fact’ and them discussing itContinue reading “Ayoade on Ayoade – Richard Ayoade (AUDIOBOOK) – 02.11.20”
The Connection – David Billingsley – 01.11.20
After I posted a link to this blog on Twitter, the author David Billingsley contacted me offering me a free pdf (or Kobo ebook) copy of his book in return for a review. I decided to just buy it on Kindle since I don’t like those formats and I found the premise of the bookContinue reading “The Connection – David Billingsley – 01.11.20”
Hard Time: an irresistible spinoff from the Chronicles of St Mary’s that will make you laugh out loud (The Time Police) – Jodi Taylor – 25.10.20
As is sometimes the case with books in the Jodi Taylor ‘St Mary’s’ or ‘Time Police’ series, it took me a while to get into this book, and I started to wonder if I have had enough of Jodi Taylor’s time travel sagas (I know, I should wash my mouth out with soap!), then theContinue reading “Hard Time: an irresistible spinoff from the Chronicles of St Mary’s that will make you laugh out loud (The Time Police) – Jodi Taylor – 25.10.20”
High Strangeness – Will Maclean (AUDIOBOOK) – (Narrated by: Sophie McShera , Adam James , Anna Chancellor) – 25.10.20
I started listening to an audiobook of a different novel called The Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu, but I was feeling a little bit depressed and not in the right headspace for something so serious, so I abandoned it for now and listened to this instead. I’m glad I did, as this was aContinue reading “High Strangeness – Will Maclean (AUDIOBOOK) – (Narrated by: Sophie McShera , Adam James , Anna Chancellor) – 25.10.20”
The Sandman Audible Audiobook – Original recording – Neil Gaiman (Author, Narrator), Riz Ahmed (Narrator), Kat Dennings (Narrator), Taron Egerton (Narrator), & 7 more – 19.10.20
I’m a big fan of Neil Gaiman novels, and have read them all, but I’d never read The Sandman, because I kind of dismissed it as being a graphic novel, and therefore not much to it (!) Well, I was clearly wrong, as this Audible original production of The Sandman is a rich and satisfyingContinue reading “The Sandman Audible Audiobook – Original recording – Neil Gaiman (Author, Narrator), Riz Ahmed (Narrator), Kat Dennings (Narrator), Taron Egerton (Narrator), & 7 more – 19.10.20”
