THE TROUBLE WITH MIRRORS – Charlotte and Aaron Elkins
This is only my second “Alix London Mystery” although it’s the fourth in the series, and already I’m a convert and tremendous fan. Although probably considered to be a ‘cozy’ mystery – something I’m generally not too excited about – there is plenty of grit and excitement here. And as I wrote about in my… Continue reading

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS: CHOOSE YOUR OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Well – this was fun. I wasn’t sure how the audio book version of a ‘choose your own adventure’ biography would turn out, but what the book lacks by not being able to skip around while reading it, is more than made up for by listening to the author tell his own story. If you… Continue reading

Two JOSHUA DREAD books – Lee Bacon
I have an ARC of the third book in the series, but I thought I should read at least the first book so that I could get a grip on what the series was about before digging in to that other book. And so I borrowed this book from a local library (I love my… Continue reading

SPONSORSHIP SEEKER’S TOOLKIT – Kim Skildum-Reid & Anne-Marie Grey
It took me a little longer than normal to read through this book because it is so packed full of useful information.

My advice … read the conclusion first so that you know what you’re getting… Continue reading

ARTEMIS – Andy Weir
How do you follow up a mega hit? On the heels of The Martian, Andy Weir’s breakaway hit that seemingly came out of nowhere, Weir does a wise thing and DOESN’T try to recreate the magic of his first book. Instead, he goes a slightly different route. Instead of a survivor-in-the-wild adventure story, we have… Continue reading

ARENA – Holly Jennings
This was just a heck of a lot of fun. Take the sport of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighting and combine it with Virtual Realty gaming and a little bit of Tron, and you get Holly Jennings’ book Arena. It is the year 2054 and Virtual gladiator-style fighting is big business. Bigger than today’s Super… Continue reading

THE BIRTHDAY BOYS – Beryl Bainbridge
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE This book is an unusual format for a work of fiction … and at the same time, it’s not quite fiction. The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge is a historical fiction account of the ill-fated Robert Falcon Scott-led trip to Antarctica. It’s a relatively quick and easy read, and even… Continue reading

THE BEATLES – Hunter Davies
Over the last couple of years I’ve read a few Beatles-related books. Recently, while anticipating a couple of long drives, I borrowed an audio book from my local library – The Authorized Biography, The Beatles, by Hunter Davies. Davies was one of the few people allowed on the inside of The Beatles’ group, accompanying them… Continue reading
