2 Nuts Where the first book had potential and the second was a hot freaking mess, this third book in the Chemical Garden Trilogy was just a disappointing meh. I can’t say it was worse than FEVER, because that book was a complete disaster, but neither did it have the hope for something good that […]
What do I do when I’m not reading, writing, or listening to audiobooks? I listen to podcasts, of course! Podcasts are one of my favorite ways to be a part of various communities. I love to listen to other people’s opinions on things, hear interviews, and learn some new stuff. I grew up with radio […]
4 Nuts It’s been a while since I actually read this book to bare with me for a minute. This is one of those books which after I read it I had to let it sit for a minute to let the thoughts coalesce into something coherent. And then I kind of forgot, well shoot […]
Used Bookstore Browsing You walk into a used bookstore and what do you see? Rows upon rows of books of all shapes and sizes, often mushed together in narrow isles. Sometimes not as well organized as an indie or retail bookstore would be and definitely not as well staffed. How does one navigate such a […]
“Spring Cleaning” Every year I put my shelves through a rigorous “spring cleaning” process. Some years I only get rid of a few things, this year I got rid of over 100. It depends on mood, what I have, and what I’ve read that year. Some years, like the last 2 or three, I do […]

Read by Eve Myles Ok, I don’t like Eve Myles. Moreover, I really don’t like Gwen. And as is tradition with these audio exclusives, whoever reads the book is usually who its about. So its a Gwen POV, yay. -.- Yeah, Gwen, keep your mouth shut! You already get most of the episodes of the […]
Read by Burn Gorman BURN GORMAN! *dances* Yes, Burn is reading this audio exclusive. Don’t know who he is? Actually, I bet you do. Other than playing Dr. Owen Harper on Torchwood he’s also Adam in Forever and Night’s Watch traitor Karl Tanner. He also played Hindley in the Masterpiece Theater mini series of Wuthering […]
Read by Kai Owen This is probably one of my favorite audio exclusives from the Torchwood series. And let me tell you why: It’s read by Kai Owen. Kai Owen’s American accent for Jack makes me giggle. Kai Owen’s voice is beautiful. Rhys and Ianto are super bro-y in this story. I think it might […]
How well do buying bans work? Do they work at all? And if they don’t why do we do them? These are some of the questions I ask myself. So I guess I’ll actually try to answer them one at a time. How well do book buying bans work? Um well for me? Not well. And […]
