Anything Travis Baldree writes. . .

Revisado: 11-29-23

When I read legends and lattes, I was surprised at how much I loved the book. I love the characters and the writing, and the story and just warm, fuzzy feeling that I got from a fantasy novel about an orc warrior! Who knew? So when the second book came out, bookstores and bone dust, I thought well it’s got to be at least as good as that one, and it turned out that it was in fact, I think it was better. It’s now cemented in my mind that travis Baldree writes the kind of books that I will continue to love and buy and read over and over again.

My favorite book of the year!

Revisado: 06-12-23

I read a lot, listen to audiobooks constantly, and almost never write a review. People have such different tastes and what one person lives, another hates so what good is reading reviews? We’ll, after I finished this book, with a smile on my face and a warm spot in my heart, I sat down immediately to read the reviews and write my own. Have you ever wished you could write a rebuttal to a disappointing’ review? I sure did after reading some of these reviews. The author wrote this book during her pandemic lockdown, and is beautiful, and funny, and hopeful. The narrator is perfect, the ending is perfect, and the message is perfect. I couldn’t find politics anywhere in this book! I could not find anything anyone was whining about that caused them to dislike this book, which taught me something about reviewers and reviews—I think sometimes they’re fake. They’re an excuse to trash something and see their name in print. The only thing in this sweet book that bothered me is this— when you’re in a relationship with a famous person, their famous persona disappears pretty fast. The more you get to know the real them, the less you keep reminding yourself that they’re famous. It basically disappears in the background. You only remind yourself when you see them on a screen or in a magazine, but even then it feels like you are watching another person instead of the guy who left his dirty underwear on the floor next to the clothes basket.
Download this book and take a long drive. Immerse yourself in it like the author did. You’re welcome.

Hygge for the win!

No gunshots, no murders, no graphic sex—-and I loved it! I’m reading (actually, listening) to all her books now. So happy I found her. Hygge all the way this year.

Surprisingly addictive!

Revisado: 07-14-22

I can’t say why I’m hooked on this series when so many other books in the same vein leave me cold after the second in the series. Maybe I’m jus impatient to get to the good stuff so I don’t like slogging through an info dump. Maybe I love the consistently upbeat tone of the series, even through each crises. Maybe I love the male/female friendships that aren’t based on sex. Whatever the reason, just get the first one before reading this one and you’ll see.

Surprisingly adorable!

Revisado: 05-01-22

What a gem. I started listening to this book because I needed something lighthearted, so the standard trope was expected. What I didn’t expect was the sweet love affair between the older characters in the story. I raised the narration speed to 1.2 and it was perfect.

Not your common, torture-the-protagonist series!

Revisado: 09-07-21

I love this series! Lots of readers may have trouble with the lack of formulaic structure but I found it enjoyable and refreshing. I love that it meanders, that it’s personality-driven, and that the most attractive quality in most characters was/is intelligence. It’s not like any other SF out there, in a good way.

Love, love, LOVE this book!

Revisado: 08-25-21

This book is comfort food for the soul. It’s sweet and funny, and gentle, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need. The recipes are perfect (my mother was Italian) and I’ve even tried to duplicate some of them. I pull this book out and listen to it again at least once a year.

Suddenly I have a new favorite series!

Revisado: 04-09-21

Usually I skip any 6 hour audiobook, assuming they need to be at least 8 hours to really do a story justice, and be worth a credit.what convinced me to try the first book in this series was Johanna Parker. Anyone who fell in love with Sookie Stackhouse in the incredible True Blood by Charlaine Harris series knows Johanna is a terrific narrator. I mourned the end of that series and searched unsuccessfully for years to find an adequate replacement. For the first few pages of Moonshine and Magic I thought, “Oh no, not another silly magic story” and almost returned it. But I was out of credits and cleaning out my pantry was a job that required a new audiobook. What I found instead was the beginning of a fun new series, wrapped in the comfort of a favorite, familiar voice. This book is a little like True Blood but without the gore, and it is every bit as engaging. Were introduced to small Southern town with a big secret, a mystery, and magic, but done in a natural believable way if that’s not an oxymoron. Engaging characters with real life relationships who just happen to posses weird talents that compel them to band together so they can live in peace. You will want to hang around for a while to get to know them. They make you feel like you know this place. I’m ordering book 2 right now.

Good borderline YA

Half enders game, half black leopard red wolf. Lots of sword play and world building.
