Wonderful Discworld/YA

Revisado: 04-11-25

So smart. Discusses adult concepts with seriousness, insight, and (of course) humor. When reading this, it feels like proudly watching your daughter become the adult she was meant to be.

Wonderful sophomore book of a series

Revisado: 02-21-23

For all the haters out there, I’m over 40 and I really enjoyed this!
This is a great sophomore book of a series. It picks off where last ended and it adds more complexity to the world. Yes, there’s a lot of politics. It’s a new society being built with lots of different people; how did people not expect politics to be important to building that society? It discusses the morality of looking for refugees and the changes in reality some have to face when normally in a place of privilege.
I can’t wait until the next book. I’ll preorder it as soon as I’m able.

Lovely cozy mystery

Revisado: 09-14-22

If what you’re looking for is a nice, cozy mystery, then this is the book for you. It’s nothing earth-shattering, but it’s a pleasant and enjoyable mystery with friendship building.

Notes ruin this

Revisado: 05-09-21

Rowling can’t help herself to explain where it wasn’t needed. These notes (premise of where they are and come from) are not aligned with the books. There are also contradictions between Dumbledores notes and what the actual story was in the books. I’m confused as why they were written. The stories themselves would’ve been so much better.

Super fun even without having read St. Mary’s

Revisado: 08-17-20

This is exactly what I needed. A fun, time-hopping book. Kind of a combo of Connie Willis and Jasper Fforde. You don’t really need to have read St. Mary’s series, but be warned-you’ll want to read it afterward. I am going to start on the (gulp) 11 books plus novellas now.

I love Ali Wong

Revisado: 11-03-19

Full disclosure: I love Ali Wong. She makes me laugh so hard that I literally cry.
This book was...really good. As letters go, sometimes the thread was lost or repeated. Some bit resonated more than others. Overall, I enjoyed myself and had a lot to think about.
The narration was good in that it was Ali and I didn’t have to imagine her delivery. But the thing about audiobooks is that you can’t have such wide differences in sound level. To go from yelling to whispering on stage is one thing as the audience is in one nonmoving venue and sound people can adjust. But in an audiobook thus means constantly fiddling with the volume to hear and then to not damage your ears.

Super fun

This is a super fun summer read. Highly entertaining and quirky. I’d listen to book 2 for sure.

Take all of my money

Revisado: 06-24-19

Dennis E Taylor? Narrated by Ray Porter? Take all of my money.

This book has the explicit references to Stargate and the similarities to the interesting bit of Long Earth. I loved it.

Too earnest?

Revisado: 02-14-19

I think I would’ve liked this a bit more in written form. The narrator seemed too earnest...or trying too hard to sound like a kid. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but it put me off of the story.
