Gideon Nav packed her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and she escaped from the House of the Ninth.

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

January 23, 2021 by Emmalita 16 Comments

I have been trying to read this book for four months. That may not sound like much, but this book is 100% my jam and I still could not focus on it enough to get it read. Finally, I re-upped my Audible account and got it as an audiobook read by Moira Quirk.

You can always learn something, even amid explosion sound effects

Rivals! Frienemies Who Changed the World by Scott McCormick

July 21, 2019 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

They say this is for ages 8 and up, and the sound effects and voices help with that, but there really is a lot of information in this!         I’ve Got a Bone to Pick with You! After finishing my other Audible Original for the month of July, The Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs, I thought I was pretty caught up on my dino knowledge.  Turns out, nope! That didn’t even mention anything (that I remember) that was featured in this section!  Maybe […]

A Joy to listen to!

Jukebox Joyride by Jacob Stein, Jason Rabinowitz

July 21, 2019 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

This was an Audible Originals pick for I think June, and I’m glad I picked it up. George and Jules are 11-year-old twins, and they love music.  George plays the guitar and Jules plays the drums, and they’re pretty good musicians.  They’re also pretty good kids, as evidenced by their interactions with their absent-minded mom.  Their love of music comes from their Uncle Bob, who is a top-notch ethnomusicologist. But Uncle Bob has disappeared.  Not just, left for work one day and was never heard […]

Good news! I didn’t have to wait until 2019 to get The Consuming Fire. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read The Collapsing Empire.

Your Pinky Swear Sits on a Throne Of Lies

Head On: A Novel Of the Near Future by John Scalzi

April 26, 2018 by Emmalita 3 Comments

Last year I listened to Wil Wheaton narrate John Scalzi’s Lock In. Later in the year, angry dimples told me that Amber Benson had also narrated Lock In and that her narration was very good. I listened to it and agreed. As much as I enjoyed the Wil Wheaton narration, I liked Benson’s even better. And then we found out that both Wheaton and Benson were narrating versions of Scalzi’s follow up novel, Head On. We agreed, Benson first, Wheaton later. I enjoyed Head On quite a […]
