In which we throw it back and I review three historical fiction audiobooks today — let me know if any of these books sound like something you’d enjoy! The Girl Who Wrote In Silk by Kelli Estes reminds me that I definitely do not read enough adult historical fiction. It is such an interesting audiobook. […]
The Dead Boyfriend | Girl In Reverse | Sublime
December 30, 2016
Sometimes it’s really not the best idea to read something out of nostalgia. It just doesn’t ever seem to live up to your childhood based expectations. I picked up The Dead Boyfriend by RL Stine hoping to recapture the delight of childhood. I especially loved the Fear Street books in middle school. Thus, I thought perhaps […]
Girl In The Blue Coat | Mirror In The Sky | The Memory Of Light
December 26, 2016

Finding Abbey Road | A Study In Charlotte | Stalking Jack The Ripper

They are superbly narrated by Emma Galvin. However, the last […]
