The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

Narrated by: Samara MacLaren I had both digital and audio copies of this book and decided to listen to it. It was further down my list of audiobooks, but it managed to make its way up, and I heard it to the end in very few sittings, something I rarely end up doing (continuously, that…

The Truth by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #25)

This is the last of my rereads of Terry Pratchett for a while. Not because I do not want to read any more of them, but because I have no more to pick up in hand. I may run into a book I have not read or reviewed on the blog, and then things may…

Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi

I have read and reviewed the previous book on the blog : here I picked this book up because I saw it on the library shelf (like I do with most of my library reads). I was not enthralled by the first in this series, mostly because I think the author and the plot are…

Dawnshard by Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight archive #3.5)

I have read and reviewed the previous works in the series on the blog: #1,#2,#3, #2.5 I have been following this series from the beginning, and I watch as the progress is made painfully slowly. They are heavy tomes, and even my sister and her husband., who are not big readers, were hooked for a…

Soul Music by Terry Pratchett

During my revisit to Terry Pratchett's books, I sometimes come away with the feeling that I have read a particular volume before. This felt completely new to me. I have met Death's granddaughter later as an adult in other books, and this was my first time seeing her as a child and coming to terms…

The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

I reviewed the first book earlier on the blog. If you have not read the first book of this series, I will not advise picking this up. Although the author provides a very detailed account of the previous book at the beginning, which helped me remember the more salient points, it does not go into…

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

There are a few drawbacks of reading books out of order. There are fewer than average drawbacks of reading Discworld books out of order. But I found the first and foremost to be character development. I am so used to viewing a person/creature to be a certain way - the order of things, to be…

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

I have heard a lot about this book on the blogosphere over the past few years. It has popped on and off my radar. I have read a few Sandman graphic novels, among certain other ones and know what the author usually sounds like. Despite that fact, I was a little surprised by the content…
