Introduction: I typically only post reviews of things I’ll put on the audiobook edge list. While this one will not be featured, it’s the sort of story that each person should decide for themselves whether to give it a go. Summary: A girl gets kidnapped and trained in her special skill … Additional Comments:…
Introduction: It’s been awhile since I posted any audiobook reviews. Still got a mixed bag of them to review. Let’s start back up with a darker sort of epic fantasy. It had fantastic narration provided by Genevieve Sibayan, but I’m a little ambivalent on the plot and characters. *spoilers possible in discussion part* Summary:…
Introduction: Last quarter of 2017 a friend of mine randomly sent me a Spotify list with songs that corresponded to one of my books. She’d sent me other lists over the years, but this time, the idea intrigued me. Anyway, long story short, I got sucked into buying the Spotify upgrade to avoid those crappy…
Introduction: Typically, I end up seeing about one movie a month. Looks like we might be off to a slow start in 2018. That said, there are quite a few movies I really want to see this year. Here they are roughly in release order. Black Panther: Release Date Feb 16, 2018 In recent…

Additional Comments: – As with The Force Awakens, there are about four main, interwoven threads to the story, focusing on Poe and the Resistance, Rey and Luke, Finn and Rose, and Kylo Ren. The editing is fairly decent in terms of…
Introduction: I must be on a cozy mystery kick. Ended up with like 3 in a row. That’s cool. The Lover’s Portrait by Jennifer S. Alderson 4/5 Slow start but Great End Summary: A split story (part in the past, part in the present). (In the past) A Dutch art dealer struggles to keep…
What’s new? After a pretty long hiatus, I am back with reviewing audiobooks. Let’s start with a cozy British mystery. Summary: Nora Tierney gets caught up in a complicated case of international terrorism. Additional Comments: – Loved the narrator’s voice. (Nano Nagle’s performance is strong.) British accent is usually charming. – Nora and Declan’s…
