#ThisKingdomWillNotKillMe is writing duo #IlonaAndrews 1st Epic Fantasy. They plunge the reader into an unforgiving world populated with deadly machinations. #KristenSieh is a near perfect reader. This is the 1st book in The Maggie Undying Series. #NetGalley #MacMillanAudio #booksky

KJ Charles is a master of Queer Historical Romance. How to Fake It In Society does not disappoint. With Will Watt’s honeyed voiced narration of the audiobook, I thoroughly enjoyed every word. Thank you NetGalley & MacMillan Audio for the ALC.

A+ #AudioBookReview: Propaganda Girls by Lisa Rogak My Review: The “propaganda girls” of this book’s title didn’t just want to “See what the boys in the back room will have,” as Marlene Dietrich, the most famous of those “girls” frequently sang in her pre- and post-war nightclub acts AND to “Her Boys” during her USO tours, they wanted a chance to BE those boys. Not for the drinking and carousing - not that they didn’t - but for the work and the freedom to use their gifts to their full potential without being shoved into corners labelled “women’s work”.

A+ #AudioBookReview: Inside Man by John McMahon My Review: The first book in this series, Head Cases, set up the characters and the structure of the FBI unit they work in, the Patterns and Recognition Unit, or PAR. They’re the ‘head cases’, the freaks, the ones who solve cold cases that defy ordinary investigative methods because something about the case isn’t ordinary - and neither are they.

A- #AudioBookReview: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire My Review: Whenever I think of the Wayward Children series, I imagine of the chase scene from Monsters, Inc. that takes place in the vast, cavernous space where all the doors are stored. I want to see a place just like that in this series - but I KNOW that the doors that these wayward children go through, sometimes back through, and very occasionally stride through one more time - or even more - aren’t stored that way.

🎧📚Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash #BookReview #MacmillanAudio #ARCReview #LiteraryFiction Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction. The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone—or something—is monitoring the town’s citizens.

Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction. I had high hopes because the blurb promised humor, but thought the book was a mixed bag.

Book cover for T. Kingfisher’s new novel Wolf Worm due on audio March 24 from MacMillan Audio.

10th Read of 2026:

Wolf Worm - T. Kingfisher

The author, very quickly becoming one of my most read, delivers what I feel is among her very best work. Fast-paced, scary, revolting, and caustically funny with a strong FMC. Please stick around for the afterward, too. 5⭐️

🎧📚 Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture #BookReview #MacmillanAudio #ARCReview #SelfHelp #Science #Health Happy New Year, y'all! I thought I'd start the year off with a very appropriate book. We drink it, celebrate with it, and barely question it—but what is alcohol really doing to us?Drinking alcohol can be fun; its chemical effects on our brain are fundamentally pleasurable, and it can have social benefits. Alcohol may also help us forget the worries in our lives and temporarily overcome psychological barriers to human interaction.

A- #AudioBookReview: The Blackfire Blade by James Logan My Review: Lukan Gardova has a knack for getting himself into trouble - and an even bigger, or perhaps that’s more frequently necessary - knack for getting himself out of the trouble that he’s gotten himself into. While underneath a facade of gallows’ humor, crackling cynicism and behind a tongue that isn’t half as silver as he thinks it is, there’s a man with a cracked heart of gold wrapped in more marshmallow than he’d willingly admit, even to himself.

A+ #AudioBookReview: Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree My Review: Brigands & Breadknives brings the story that began in Legends & Lattes into a delightfully full circle that ties the events of Bookshops & Bonedust up into the story with a great big beautiful bow. Legends & Lattes kicked off the whole cozy fantasy trend with its story of Viv, the orc who opened a coffee shop in off-the-beaten-path Thune, fell in love with Tandri the succubus, and they, with the magically delicious help of Thimble the rattkin baker and the whole, entire town of Thune, settled into their happy ever after with a whole lot of help from the friends they made along the way.

A+ #AudioBookReview: To Clutch a Razor by Veronica Roth My Review: Everyone believes that they are the heroes of their own stories. Even the monsters. Perhaps, especially the monsters, so that they have justification for the villainies they permit. And commit. If the end truly justifies the means, then ANY means, no matter how terrible, are permissible in order to serve a righteous cause. It’s all about ‘the greater good’ and is precisely what makes that phrase so monstrous.
