Limitless Seas

21 April 2021

Limitless Seas, by Dean Henegar, is book 1 in the new Limitless Lands series. I admit I haven’t read any of the Limitless Lands series, but that didn’t really hamper my understanding of what was going on. It’s easy enough

Breach of Contract

15 April 2021

Breach of Contract, written by Danielle Palli, is book 2 in The Data Collectors series, and I enjoyed the story about as much as I did in the first book. Most of the characters you’ll meet in this story feel

The (Sort of) Dark Mage

28 March 2021

The (Sort of) Dark Mage, book 1 of the Waldo Rabbit series by Nelson Chereta had me, right up until the ending, which it completely whiffed. Not a “Game of Thrones season 8” level whiff, but enough of one to

The Phoenix Project

22 March 2021

The Phoenix Project, written by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford, was for me infuriatingly hard to stop listening to. Reading the cover, you’d think it’d be a rather dry book about an IT department struggling to meet impossible

War Girls

6 March 2021

War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi left me in two minds. On one hand, it was a decent story well told. On the other, it just felt like it fell short of pulling me in as much as I thought it

Dungeon Crawler Carl, written by Matt Dinniman, is now sitting comfortably inside the list of my all-time favourite books. Those that I go back to, time and time again. This was my first listen, but I already know I’ll be

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

21 February 2021

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades by S. M. Stevens is a novel that will likely stick in my mind for years to come. There’s a lot of situations in this book that make you uncomfortable, as so they should. The subjects

Last Year

15 February 2021

Last Year by Robert Charles Wilson is one I’ve had hanging around my list since I picked it up during a 2-for-1 sale a while ago. The premise intrigued me to give it a go, as sci-fi and time travel

The Data Collectors

10 February 2021

The Data Collectors, written by Danielle Palli, I can most easily describe as different, quirky, and fun. The blurb doesn’t really do the storyline justice, even though it does a decent job of describing it. I know that sounds paradoxical,

Annie Crow Knoll: Sunrise

5 February 2021

Annie Crow Knoll: Sunrise by Gail Priest, admittedly is in a genre I rarely find myself reading, but has now got me thinking that’s an oversight if the stories are as warm, pleasant, and sentimental as this. Starting in the

Time Out of Joint

1 February 2021

Time Out of Joint by Philip K. Dick, originally published back in 1959, still holds up surprisingly well today. Like a lot of PKD stories, he skillfully spins a tale that you can’t help but get sucked into. Intriguing happenings,
