I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Adventures in Online Dating by Julie Particka, narrated by Vivienne Leheny. The narration was great and the story solid even if the heroine annoyed me a little at times.

Pink cover with a torn out sheet from a spiral notebook taped to it. The sheet has coffee stains on it and the following list: 1. Write clever dating profile. 2. Choose flattering picture. 3. Try to ignore the hot barista flirting with you.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Rebel by Beverly Jenkins, narrated by Kim Staunton. A feisty independent heroine and an instantly smitten hero, wrapped up in Black history.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Arctic Sun by Annabeth Albert, narrated by Cooper North. Really liked this one and I was impressed by the narration too. (CW: Disordered eating, addiction.)

Monthly Mini Review

Sepia toned picture of a big explosion. There's a 1980 vibe to the picture.A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite by Adam Higginbotham – B When I was buying Higginbotham’s audiobook on Chernobyl, I saw there was a short (just about 2.5 hours) audio by the same author. The author reads the story, which was originally a longform article for The Atavist (which I’d not heard of before). Then Audible had a sale and I picked it up at 50% off – about $3.00. A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite tells the true story of Big John Burgis, who tried to extort $US 3 million from a casino in Lake Tahoe in 1980. He stole a thousand pounds of dynamite and made a bomb in his shed, delivered it to the casino and threatened to blow everything up if the money wasn’t delivered to him. The story is extraordinary and all the more interesting because I’d never heard of it before. I gather that folks in Lake Tahoe still remember it and that current FBI trainers use the case as a teaching tool but the story hasn’t really sunk into the collective consciousness. Continue reading

Sirius and I are over at Dear Author with a joint review of Give Up the Ghost by Jenn Burke. Entertaining second installment – I really enjoy the found family aspects of the series.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Peril by Post by Sherri Cobb South, narrated by Joel Froomkin. My first John Pickett mystery – even though it’s not the first in the series, it wasn’t difficult to dive in here.
