The Martian Chronicles
For some reason, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury was one that always slipped me by. When the opportunity came up to grab it as part of a 2-for-1 deal a while back I jumped at it without even listening […]
The Weirdies
I can best describe The Weirdies by Michael Buckley as “Matilda meets The Addams Family”. This was an absolute delight, reminiscent of the great Roald Dahl with horrid characters, horrible things going on that are seemingly normal, and an overall

The Stone Man
I picked up The Stone Man by Luke Smitherd as part of a two-for-one deal that popped up when it was time to spend a credit. I’d never heard of this author before but was intrigued enough by the blurb
Brave New World
Before this audiobook, I’d only ever read this story once… years ago now on my Kindle. Apparently, I had forgotten a rather alarming amount of what happens, to the point I’m now wondering if I ever actually finished it. First
The Dawn Prayer
I’d not heard of Matthew Schrier prior to this book popping up on my list. Not being American I guess I missed most of the hubbub around his imprisonment and escape from al-Nusra Front – aka the Syrian branch of
Blade Runner
First off, the narration in this is painfully slow. I feel that needed to be said upfront, because if you can’t stand sloooow narration, then be warned. I changed the playback speed to 1.5x before I could listen to it
Second Hand Curses
For some reason, I never took the plunge to grab this fairy tale reimagining by Drew Hayes. I follow a podcast of his where he’s the DM of a bunch of authors playing DND (rather badly but hilariously) so I’ve
Witches Be Crazy
Okay, I’ll admit this one took me a little to get in to. I wasn’t overly sucked in right away, but the more I listened to the story unfold the more I had to keep sticking my earbuds in and
Nuns with Guns
This is the second audiobook I’ve read by Seth Kaufman and enjoyed this possibly even more than the first. It had been sitting in my “to read” list in my library since I picked up a promo code for it
A Bit of a Stretch
Chris Atkins (documentary-maker) did the crime and did the time… and took notes along the way to write and narrate this bang-up (ha! prison pun) account of his time in prison. From just before his arrival, we follow his journey
Backpack
I was reminded of Backpack by Emily Barr when I saw she had recently released a new book. I bought Backpack as a paperback many years ago now, a few years after its initial release (I’m thinking 2007?). When my

The Star Fraction
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read The Star Fraction by Ken MacLeod in my life. I remember buying this as a paperback way back in the early 2000s. It sticks in my mind because it was one
