Tell-Tale Treats by Jennifer J Chow and Catherine Ho (Narrator) (2026) is the third book in the Magical Fortune Cookie mystery series. The Pixie Inn is hosting a small reunion for a once tight knit clique of women who met in high school. Their leader and self professed queen bee is a demanding woman and clearly the group isn't as close as it once was. When she is found dead in a bathtub, Felicity fears her almond cookies might have been the cause.

I’ve written a few thoughts on Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, 2022, tr. Sophie Roberts. A brilliant critique of the Instagram generation, it’s endlessly quotable, I loved it! #bookstodon #BookReview #reading #audiobook @bookstodon

I’ve just finished reading a fascinating book about 3 women who rose to the top of the fashion retail business in the U.S., my favourite being Geraldine Stutz of Henri Bendel’s who brought the store back to life as a place for exclusive fashion in the 1960s #bookstodon #BookReview #reading #Storygraph #audiobook #NonFiction @bookstodon

A request for #audiobook fans: try https://libro.fm & consider quitting Audible.
Unlike Audible, with Libro you actually OWN your audiobooks and they don't embrace dark patterns like credits that expire or that disappear when you cancel. 🤮
Plus they support libraries & other good stuff.
Currently, the code SWITCH grants 3 audiobooks for the price of 1 for your first month. 📚
Also if you want to give me a free audiobook as you sign up, here's my referral link: https://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm240965

Ciao livvelloidi, ma voi dove li ascoltate podcast e audiolibri senza ricorrere a Spotify, Apple, Amazon e compagnia?
I've been thinking today about one of my favourite audiobooks: The Trouble with Angels, which I narrated as Eden Cavell, about a naive divorcee who makes a fresh start when two hot Daddy Doms take her under their wing.
It's a good book for people who are interested in my work who don't like romance! It's big-hearted and genuinely funny.

Spanking is the topic of the day in certain circles so I should let you know that I have narrated a spanking romance!* 🍑
*I have actually narrated two, but one was lost to an Amazon Erotica Purge.
I can't tell you which book without it being a spoiler, so if that's a book you might enjoy, I'll share the details in the next post, under a CW. (It's available in book form as well as audiobook.)💋

Five stars:
Trouble Wore Red by Chris Lewis and James Meunier (Narrator) (2025) is a noir inspired mystery with a science fiction setting. Imagine a blending of the world of Cowboy Bebop / Carole and Tuesday with the mysteries of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Now imagine a group of characters who have reached middle age and feel it in every muscle; that's this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you have never listened to my audiobooks before and don't know where to start, allow me to recommend The Giantess Slave by Amber Collins.
A female mad scientist kidnaps two party girls to create the ultimate instrument of her revenge: a 200-foot tall woman!
It's a scifi story with a light sapphic vibe that's the lowest heat of all my books -- it's far more suggestive than explicit and barely registers as PG-13.
It's also as campy as a 1950's drive-in movie.
And I had more fun than I know how to tell you doing the sexy mad scientist voice!
Bonus: for reasons I absolutely do not understand, several listeners have told me that they love to listen to this book to fall asleep to. Maybe my MILF-y Mad Scientist voice is soporific?
It's available through Amazon, Audible and Apple Books. You can hear a quick free sample in any of the listings!

In the mood for some high heat audiobooks? Check out the the erotica I narrate as Adara Astin. 💋
You can find them all on Amazon and Audible.
They are also on Apple Books, searchable by title (not by narrator name).
Content Advisory: These audiobooks are extremely spicy!
Five stars:
The Soul Man: Life of Songwriter David Porter by David Porter (2026) is a memoir about growing up in Memphis and making music at Trax. For the audiobook, David Porter does his own narration and includes snippets of the music he's written and performed over the years.

I've finished: Gund of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky
At this point I'd read anything by Tchaikovsky. But Guns of the Dawn is the Tchaikovsky novel most likely to disappoint his fans.
It is mostly British nobles tying themselves up in knots pride and prejudice style. I get frustrated and just want to slap them and yell and them to snap out of it and allow themselves to be happy.
Strange animals are hinted at but never explored. There is combat, but I found the portrayal of musket combat to be lacking. Muskets in a swamp, and checking if the powder is dry is mentioned only when back home in "England". No bayonets? Most shots are accurate and fatal. It seems that narrative necessity overruled Tchaikovsky's usual diligent portrayal of weapons and combat. (See shadow of the apt).
However, the characters are compelling, and the anti war sentiment is pervasive and I appreciate it very much.
Despite its flaws, it is a good novel and I read it from start to finish without switching to other works. It was a grate companion during a stressful week when I found it hard to give all my attention to the audiobook.
Emma Newman was a great choice as narrator.

Speaking of the #TransRightsReadathon , can anyone recommend an awesome #audiobook for it? I like nonfiction, romance, fantasy, novels, dislike gore and body horror. I like science fiction but tend to find it hard to follow on audio. Any age range okay if it's a good narration.

Hungry and hunting alone, a goblin boy meets a bouncing, blue slime and assumes it will be dinner. Naturally, the slime has other ideas, and the boy gets his hind-end handed to him by what’s supposed to be one of the weakest monsters of the forest.
