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“

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“
A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths – John Barton – 05.09.22
It’s rare for me to finish a non fiction book, because I usually get bored and annoyed at how they tend to be so long winded about everything. This book was a bit boring and longwinded at times, but I did finish it because it’s a subject that I found really interesting. I was raisedContinue reading “A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths – John Barton – 05.09.22“
The Wolves of London (Obsidian Heart, Book 1) – AUDIOBOOK – Mark Morris (Author) – Ben Onwukwe – (Narrator) – 24.08.22
The Society of Blood: Obsidian Heart, Book 2 – 29.08.22 The Wraiths of War: Obsidian Heart, Book 3 – 03.09.22 Wow – I have been totally engrossed in these audiobooks (about 40 hours in total) for the last couple of weeks. The series is a kind of urban fantasy, time travel, magical thriller/horror sort ofContinue reading “The Wolves of London (Obsidian Heart, Book 1) – AUDIOBOOK – Mark Morris (Author) – Ben Onwukwe – (Narrator) – 24.08.22“
The Night Ship – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 19.08.22
This book follows two parallel stories, one set in the 16 hundreds, and the other in the 1980s. Both are told from the perspective of young children – Mayken, a young Dutch girl aboard the infamous ship Batavia, famous in real live for the horrific events surrounding its shipwreck near an island off the coastContinue reading “The Night Ship – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 19.08.22“
Lily – Rose Tremain – 14.08.22
I loved Rose Tremain’s book, The Colour, which I read years ago and so when this one was 99p on kindle I bought it. Lily is different from the books I’ve been reading of late – no magical realism or urban fantasy here – this is in some ways a very simple and straightforward novelContinue reading “Lily – Rose Tremain – 14.08.22“
