The Long-Lost Home by Maryrose Wood: Book Review
I have listened to all of these books on audio and Katherine Kellgren’s whole-hearted narration has kept me coming back. She threw everything she had into howling at the moon, singing songs, and giving voices to both the innocent and the bad guys. I realized that Katherine had passed away before finishing the series as I added…
The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood: Book Review
I seriously did not think I could love an audiobook performance more than I love Katherine Kellgren’s narration of the Bloody Jack series by L. A. Meyer. And then she narrated The Mysterious Howling. Holy cow. I am in awe of Ms. Kellgren’s talent! Old men, teen girls, simpering married women, wolfish children howling at Continue Reading…
Ten Characters I’d Like to Befriend
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to “Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc.” As a shy introvert, big personalities attract me and repel me at the same time […]
10 of My Favorite Audiobook Narrators
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our favorite audiobook narrators this week. I’m almost always listening to an audiobook while I’m cleaning, driving, or even exercising and I’m trying (with some success) to win my husband over. It was hard to limit my list to only ten. I tried to write a bit about why I like […]
Wild Rover No More by L. A. Meyer: Book Review
3 Stars. I’m still so upset that the last book ended the way it did. I tried to put that behind me, as Jacky herself does, but I’m a world-class grudge-holder. I was mostly able to enjoy this book for itself but I’m still rating it 3 stars instead of the 4 I would probably have given it if that nonsense from book 11 hadn’t […]
Completed Series That I Wish Had More Books
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten “completed series that I wish had more books” this week. I am a terrible series finisher. I texted one of my friends that I had just finished the Tristan Strong trilogy this week and recommended that she read it. She replied, “If you actually Continue Reading…
Books I Wish Had an Epilogue
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten books I wish had an epilogue.” This is a great topic! I’m happy with the endings of each of these books, but part of me would like to see where the characters are several years later. I’m also a little hesitant to wish for Continue Reading…
Top 10 Books for My Younger Self
I’m obviously not the only bibliophile who reads a book and thinks, “Wow! I wish I’d read this when I was younger.” I know that I would have appreciated some books even more as a younger reader. I know that other books that speak to me now would have spoken even louder back then and maybe clarified some decisions and smoothed […]
Weekly Update for August 9, 2020
Welcome to my weekly update for August 9, 2020! After all our hiking last week, we took it relatively easy this week. My husband and I are usually in one place for three months before moving to a new place with his job. His three months in Portland, Oregon were complete on July 25 but Continue Reading…
Six in Six 2020
Jo at The Book Jotter hosts Six in Six 2020, a yearly meme that helps us reflect back on our mid-year reading. The idea is to choose six categories from the list provided and list six books you’ve read that fit in those categories. Since I just started blogging again about a month ago, I Continue Reading…
Sunday Post/What Are You Reading?
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I hope everyone had a happy Halloween! So, I didn’t post any reviews last week. What else is new? An old friend published her first 100 words of paid fiction, “Those Who Continue Reading…
