I don’t usually like memoir type books, but I really enjoyed this one. I was not aware of Chris Broad’s YouTube channel before reading this, but I was drawn to it because my son Danny lives in Japan, and my hubby and I visited him last year. The book describes how Chris Broad moves toContinue reading “Abroad in Japan – Audiobook – Chris Broad (Author, Narrator) – 01.07.24”

A Town Called Discovery (Audiobook) – RR Haywood, narrated by: Carl Prekopp – GAVE UP AT 66% – 27.06.24
It’s very rare for me to give up on a book (especially an audiobook) and I did manage to get through two thirds of this one, and wondered if I shouldn’t just stick it out until the end, but then I thought about all the unread books out there, and the limited amount of timeContinue reading “A Town Called Discovery (Audiobook) – RR Haywood, narrated by: Carl Prekopp – GAVE UP AT 66% – 27.06.24”
Leave No Trace – Jo Callaghan – 27.06.24
This is the sequel to In The Blink of an Eye – (or second in the series, I guess) and as least as enjoyable as the first. It’s a police procedural murder mystery, with the twist being that one of the two main detective characters is an AI – projected as a hologram of aContinue reading “Leave No Trace – Jo Callaghan – 27.06.24”
Killing Time: The Time Police, Book 5 (Audiobook) – Jodi Taylor
Narrated by: Zara Ramm – 24.06.24 I’m still very much enjoying Jodi Taylor’s Time Police series. This time team weird (or at least some of them) are stuck on a crazy malevolent slightly sentient train hurtling through time and space with a bad guy from their past who has murderous intent. Meanwhile the rest ofContinue reading “Killing Time: The Time Police, Book 5 (Audiobook) – Jodi Taylor”
The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury – Marc Levy – 21.06.24
This book is verging more into the ‘chick lit’ or ‘rom com’ territory than I would usually like, and yet, I did, on the whole like it. Set in the 1950s, a young English woman, living in London and making a living creating new perfumes is jolted by visit to a fortune teller that setsContinue reading “The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury – Marc Levy – 21.06.24”
Orfeo – Richard Powers – 18.06.24
Orfeo is one of those booker longlisted books that you have to read with a dictionary to hand, and in this case maybe an expert in classical and modern composing as well. It follows an old man on the run from the authorities because of the biological lab they discovered in his home. He looksContinue reading “Orfeo – Richard Powers – 18.06.24”
Revival – Stephen King (Audiobook) – Narrated by: David Morse – 17.06.24
I do love a good Stephen King novel, and lucky for me there are millions of them – I still have quite a few to get through! Revival is a funny one (not funny ha ha, funny odd). A lot of the book reads like a straight coming of age, life story journey following Jamie,Continue reading “Revival – Stephen King (Audiobook) – Narrated by: David Morse – 17.06.24”
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe – Douglas Adams (Audiobook) – Narrated by: Martin Freeman – 11.06.24
This was just a little present to myself to listen to an old favourite – like a comforting warm cardigan or a nice cup of tea. Great narration by Martin Freeman. This is of course the sequel to The Hitchhiker’s guide to the Universe, where Arthur, Ford, Zaphod and Trillian have more adventures including meetingContinue reading “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe – Douglas Adams (Audiobook) – Narrated by: Martin Freeman – 11.06.24”
Daisy Darker – Alice Feeney (Audiobook) Narrated by: Stephanie Racine – 06.06.24
This is like a modern day Agatha Christie crossed with a bog standard cabin in the woods horror where an extended family meet together in the matriarch’s secluded house that is cut off from the mainland at high tide and start to be murdered one by one. I didn’t love it. I found it hardContinue reading “Daisy Darker – Alice Feeney (Audiobook) Narrated by: Stephanie Racine – 06.06.24”
A Cruise to Murder: A Cozy Cruise Ship Mystery (A Rachel Prince Mystery Book 1) – Dawn Brookes – 05.06.24
It took me three attempts to finish this book! I bought it because I was going on my first ever cruise, a week in the med with my husband’s three siblings and their partners and I thought it would be fun. Also I was reading my way through Cixin’s Three Body Problem Trilogy and wantedContinue reading “A Cruise to Murder: A Cozy Cruise Ship Mystery (A Rachel Prince Mystery Book 1) – Dawn Brookes – 05.06.24”
