I was quite scathing in my review of The ’86 fix, which is the first in this two book series, although that could have been because the audible narrator was so dull. I wanted to know how the story resolved, so I bought this sequel on kindle, thinking my internal monologue narrator would do aContinue reading “Beyond Broadhall: The ’86 Fix Conclusion – Keith A.

The Change (Audiobook) – Kirsten Miller (Author), January LaVoy (Narrator) – 22.01.24
I really enjoyed listening to this story! The premise is that some women contain genetic predisposition to certain supernatural powers which only truly manifest once the they reach menopause. Nessa (the seeker) sees dead people – specifically people (usually girls) who were taken and murdered and Nessa’s roll is to find their bodies so theirContinue reading “The Change (Audiobook) – Kirsten Miller (Author), January LaVoy (Narrator) – 22.01.24”
Kala – Colin Walsh (AUDIOBOOK), Narrated by: Frank Blake, Moe Dunford, Seána Kerslake – 19.01.24
I thought this book was enjoyable enough, without being blown away by it. The narration was excellent, which helped, so I wasn’t ever bored. Old school friends meet up 15 years after tragedy in their small Irish town blighted their lives. We learn from memories and flashbacks the twists and turns of what happened andContinue reading “Kala – Colin Walsh (AUDIOBOOK), Narrated by: Frank Blake, Moe Dunford, Seána Kerslake – 19.01.24”
All My Mothers – Joanna Glen – 14.01.24
I recently re-read Joanna Glen’s first book: The Other Half of Augusta Hope for my book group and was reminded of how much I’d loved it, so immediately upon finishing I looked on Amazon for more from the author and bought this. The main character, Eva, realises at an early age that her family areContinue reading “All My Mothers – Joanna Glen – 14.01.24”
The Body – A Guide For Occupants – Bill Bryson (AUDIOBOOK) – 15.01.24
I’m not very good at reading non-fiction – without a story I get bored, and indeed I did start this book over a year ago, and then got bored and left it for a long time before taking it up again to finish it. I did enjoy listening to it (in two halves!) and wasContinue reading “The Body – A Guide For Occupants – Bill Bryson (AUDIOBOOK) – 15.01.24”
My Father’s House: The Rome Escape Line, Book 1 (AUDIOBOOK) – Joseph O’Connor – 11.01.24
This novel is based on the true story of Monsignor Hugh O’ Flaherty, an Irish priest working in Vatican City who helped many escaped prisoners to flee the city under the noses of the Nazis. I loved the narration – I have been watching the tv adaptation of Mr Mercedes (by Stephen King) and IContinue reading “My Father’s House: The Rome Escape Line, Book 1 (AUDIOBOOK) – Joseph O’Connor – 11.01.24”
Human Traces – Sebastian Faulks – 08.01.24
It was interesting to me to read this book so soon after I read Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, as both books are set in the same era (early twentieth century, in the lead up to the war) and cover similar fields (medicine – although while The Magic Mountain had doctors floundering in the fieldContinue reading “Human Traces – Sebastian Faulks – 08.01.24”
The ’86 Fix (AUDIOBOOK) – Keith A. Pearson – 06.01.24
I have read and enjoyed other Keith Pearson books, and I generally like books about time travel, and yet… this book (or at least the first half of it) really dragged for me. I’m not sure if it was the slow plotting or the plodding narrator (or both) although when I increased the audible listeningContinue reading “The ’86 Fix (AUDIOBOOK) – Keith A. Pearson – 06.01.24”
The Accidental Medium (AUDIOBOOK) – Tracy Whitwell – 03.01.24
I bought this in the Audible sale – it looked like the sort of thing I like so I gave it a go. The audiobook is narrated by the author, who has a lovely Geordie accent, like Sarah Millican! The main character, Tanz discovers that she has strong psychic ability and, aided by her ghostlyContinue reading “The Accidental Medium (AUDIOBOOK) – Tracy Whitwell – 03.01.24”
Shades of Grey (AUDIOBOOK) – Jasper Fforde – 31.12.23
I first read this book in 2020 and have been eagerly awaiting the promised sequel since then. Now the next book is coming out in February (Woo!) so I gave this book another listen to refresh my memory and prepare for the exciting next instalment. The book is like a post apocalyptic Jeeves and Wooster (IContinue reading “Shades of Grey (AUDIOBOOK) – Jasper Fforde – 31.12.23”
