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
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

Morningwood
Not for the easily offended, this book is a hilarious spin on the usual LitRPG adventure. For a start, the main characters are the bad guys, a lowly treasure chest-shaped mimic and a succubus (pretty much as drawn on the
The Amateurs
While on my search for a new audiobook to listen to, I came across an oldie but goodie that I’ve read countless times – The Amateurs by John Niven. If I was to make a list of the all-time funniest
The King of Pain
I grabbed a copy of The King of Pain by Seth Kaufman and narrated by George Kuch, mostly because of the blurb and call-outs on the cover which promised me it was “riotously funny”. Perhaps it wasn’t to my sense
The Little Ship of Horrors
I picked up this cracker of a story and listened through it in a couple of sittings (life annoyingly getting in the way as it does). The author, Vee James, lists his favourite authors include Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Eric

The Totally Legend of Brandon Thighmaster
Brandon Thighmaster, sexually attractive monk from the Temple of the Many Fists, ab-crunched his way into my world when he joined the Authors and Dragons podcast which I’ve been listening to since its inception. I remember his debut episode like
