A- #AudioBookReview: Accidentally Yours by Christina Lauren My Review: In case it’s not obvious, this week kind of fell apart for me. Or ON me. I read something really heavy over the weekend and needed something TOTALLY light and fluffy to counteract the gloom. And I sorta/kinda promised myself I’d read a romance this week - because Valentine’s Day was last weekend and it seemed like the thing to do.

A- #AudioBookReview: You Better Not Pout by Mia Sosa My Review: If the title of this one sounds familiar, there's an excellent reason. The title is a line from one of the truly classic Christmas songs that has been playing everywhere since, well, Halloween. Because “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” on Christmas Eve, which is TONIGHT. The song has been recorded by over 200 artists from Bing Crosby to Lady Gaga.

A- #AudioBookReview: 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years by John Scalzi My Review: Time travel is a fun idea to play with - which is why there are so many stories about it. Well, the stories aren’t really about the time travel, per se, because that's usually just a lot of handwavium. Where the stories come in - and often go out - is about what people DO with the time travel.

A- #AudioBookReview: Ushers by Joe Hill My Review: There are plenty of stories about trying to ‘cheat’ death by attempting to subvert a prophecy. These stories don’t even have to be speculative fiction in any way whatsoever. After all, Oedipus’ tragedy has been told and retold for more than two millennia at this point. Not centuries, millennia. Since approximately 400 B.C.E. While it's a bit more famous these days for the psychological concept of the Oedipus Complex, the story that leads to the complex is a result of Oedipus’ father trying to subvert a prophecy.

Review — Amazon’s ‘The Shivers’ Delivers Atmosphere, If Not Always the Scares Five modern horror greats dig into grief, guilt, and the quiet monsters hiding in broad daylight.

Just reviewed Amazon’s The Shivers—5 horror shorts from today’s top authors. Some hit hard, others haunt slow. Worth the read? Mostly. 🖤

A- #AudioBookReview: Trap Line by Timothy Zahn My Review: What Toby Collier comes to appreciate when his ‘astral’ manifests in an alien trap instead of aboard the Terran FarJump ship Janus out in the far flung galaxy is something attributed to poet William Butler Yeats centuries before Toby was born, that “There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.” Certainly neither Toby, nor anyone from Earth, has ever met anyone similar to the vaguely avian-like Hyfisk, the soldiers with whom Toby is trapped in a small, family-operated space ship in the middle of the great, wide galaxy that all of them were traversing.

Grade A #AudioBookReview: The Knight and the Butcherbird by Alix E. Harrow My Review: I picked this up for two reasons. The first reason - and the more important - is that I really loved The Starling House by this same author, also in audio. The second reason is that I’ve been experimenting with a Kindle Unlimited subscription and have really liked some of the Amazon Original Stories with audio that I’ve discovered, notably my holiday romp through the…
