Together We Will Go by J. Michael Straczynski

This is a dicey topic to handle. I picked it up after looking at the blurb and remembered the contents of the said blurb as I started to read the book. Since it is an infrequent occurrence, I thought it would colour my reading experience, but it did not. Basically, irrespective of what you know…

The Secret of Chimneys (Superintendent Battle #1) by Agatha Christie

Narrator: Simon Jones I am working my way through rereads of older books that I can now listen to. I read these at a time when I was unsure of the pronunciation of things and had no way of confirming (or even the will to look). I said Hercule Poirot anyway I wanted until almost…

The Bodies That Move by Bunye Ngene

This is a small volume that contains the harrowing journey of one man from a safe city with no prospect to the wild unknowns of Europe.It begins with our protagonist Nosa, who has always been a good student, but he is stuck with no jobs in sight once he is done with his schooling. A…

Bad Day in Minsk by Jonathan Pinnock

I've read and reviewed the previous three books in the series I would not recommend picking this up without having read any of the previous books. The crazy antics here make more sense when coupled with the equally crazy events of the last few times we met Tom Winscombe and the people associated with him…

Knaves: A Blackguards Anthology

I wrote and rewrote this review before sitting down to do this post. I wanted to list all the authors and a word about all twenty of the stories but realised that it was not feasible. Each story in this collection is relatively short, and if I mentioned something about each, this review might actually…

Baggage: Confessions of a Globe-Trotting Hypochondriac by Jeremy Hance

The book is still available on NetGalley as of the writing of this post This is more than a tale of a hypochondriac and his travels. The tagline makes it seem slightly more lighthearted than the content, which is not essentially wrong, but I thought that the book had a lot more depth than I…

The Museum Murder (Epiphany Bloom Mysteries Book 2) by Katie Gayle

I reviewed the first book of the series: here I have read and reviewed the previous book of the series. I liked the characters, and when I got a chance to visit with them again, I took it. This happens often, and being a fan of a good working series, I am always game to…

Ms. Adventure by Jess Phoenix

On a non-fiction binge of sorts (for me), I listened to this book on audio. First, I must mention that my enjoyment of the experience was because of the author's narration. Her enthusiasm and love for the subject in question and her gradual improvement in scientific standing was evident. To be frank, I may not…
