Nova Ren Suma weaves a spell of words in her compelling book Imaginary Girls. I was immediately drawn into her richly detailed story. I will admit that a healthy dose of WTF escaped my lips as I turned the pages, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Chloe and Ruby are sisters. Ruby is the […]
Retro Friday Audiobook Review: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
June 24, 2011
After finishing the audiobook for And Then There Were None, all I could think to myself was well played, Ms. Christie, well played.

June 20, 2011
Honestly, The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt narrated by John Pruden is probably the worst audiobook that I have ever read thus far. I know I should have DNFed it, but I did like the beginning. Also, isn’t that cover completely fabulous? It’s very eyecatching. At first I thought Pruden was perfect for this western […]
