"The whole idea of this book I find very fascinating, because it very clearly is the author looking to make a fictionalized version of something that really happened in real life, and also something that's really close to her family."

Sometimes book goals are silly but sometimes reaching them is more than a number. I've read 30 library books this year, which is well over my goal of 12 and the amount of physical books I picked up at the actual library is also a good sign. #reading #books #bookstodon @bookstodon #readinggoal
Finished my second novella ever, All the Moore (2 in Something Borrowed series), a couple weeks ago, by Toni Shiloh, Author (my first of hers!) Another favorite of 2025!

The Road. By Cormac McCarthy.
It’s a few years after some event has killed every animal and every plant on the earth except for a few remaining humans, and you and your young son are walking southwards to escape the continuous winter, slowly starving and avoiding the dangerous dregs of humanity.

'In his experience, things generally got worse, and on the rare occasion when things actually seemed to get better, it was only as a dramatic prelude to a cataclysmic worsening.'

It couldn't get much worse than Adams's Mostly Harmless, I thought. But it didn't get much better, either. So I quit at page 42.

With work on "The Nemesis Legacy" winding down, my focus has begun to shift back toward other projects, such as an omnibus edition, containing the first third of The Nod/Wells Timelines, which will arrive later this year, and the universe's compendium, scheduled for 2027.

I've finished: City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett
In this final installment of the Divine Cities trilogy, we follow Sigrud, the muscle of the team, in what at first seems like an action hero revenge fantasy. Yet turns out to be so deep and meaningful, with so much wisdom woven between the great action scenes.
When I read City of Stairs it felt a little clunky, but by the end of this wonderful trilogy Robert Jackson Bennett has become a master of his craft.

That's why I like old books and classics, it's interesting to see how people thought, even if I don't agree...
It also give a window into how the future will judge us for what we think is "normal" now 🤔😅

What do you mean OR? 🤔
I can broil in existential dread and plot a fantasy series at the same time. 😂 Luckily I don't make mistakes, at least not any I'm willing to admit too 😜

Here’s my review of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, 2025, a brilliantly gripping read for anyone fascinated by the Universe and our place within it, and enjoys a bit of romance too! #bookstodon #BookReview #Storygraph#audiobook @bookstodon

Firefighter Love: Curvy Girl Alpha Male Romance (Curvy Temptations) is a younger man / older woman age gap romance I narrated as Eden Cavell for Kelsie Calloway.
When a hot young firefighter moves back to the small town where he grew up, he finally gets a chance to ask out his childhood crush: his best friend's big sister!
The male lead is super sweet and it's a big-hearted, wholesome story (with a red hot finale).
"Firefighter Love: Curvy Girl Alpha Male Romance (Curvy Temptations)" is available as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon & Apple Books. It's also available in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon.
(If you've ever wondered what I sound like as the voice of a hunky young firefighter, here's where you find out!)
