Mini Reviews: The Immortalists, Home Work

Mini Reviews: The Immortalists, Home Work

I don't know why some folk have so much problem with audiobooks, but I totally swallow these up almost as much as I do hard copies of books! More so, because at least I can do other things while I listen! The Immortalists was kind of strangely-written, and going into this book, I thought it [...]

Mini Reviews: Catch and Kill, She Said

July 2, 2020June 20, 2020by MariLeave a Comment on Mini Reviews: Catch and Kill, She Said

Have I said I've been reading nonfiction lately? You'd think I would go to books that'd be more comfortable to read during these tumultuous times. BUT NAH. (In my defense, I finally have started going back to my usual YA happy place, and I HAVE NO REGRETS THERE EITHER.) I saw Catch and Kill as an audiobook [...]

So far, so good with these reviews! At this rate my audiobooks will have numbered more than the hard copy books I've read this year. Maybe by next year, they'll overtake my reading list! ...Probably not, but it does seem like I'm listening to more audiobooks than actual reading. It helps that I can multitask [...]

Squeezing these reviews in before I forget again to write about these. Celebrating some diverse books here! The first one was on my list for a while, and I finally managed to get a copy of this as an audiobook from the library. This sounded really good, and it reminded me of a Nigerian Harry [...]

Mini Reviews: The Art of Asking, Heretics Anonymous

December 20, 2018December 16, 2018by MariLeave a Comment on Mini Reviews: The Art of Asking, Heretics Anonymous

Audiobooks are the best. I've come to listen to them almost as frequently as I've been reading. That being said, nothing matches the thrill of reading and re-reading passages in books, and on occasion, I did find myself wanting to go back to something said in both these audiobooks just so I could quote them.

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)
