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 Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt

This is the kind of Graphic Novel that can be enjoyed by a younger audience and adults alike. It has gorgeous and emotive artwork while the story is complete in this installment without needing a sequel, something that is always appreciated.Anyone who has ever been a new kid on the block will empathize with Wisteria,…

The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home by Joanna Nell

The Rosie Project/Effect/Result by Graeme Simsion

In keeping with the spirit of the books, I will start with a list of why and how I came to read this series.(It is a much longer post than my usual so bear with me or read it in parts whenever you get a chance!) I found an ARC of the most recent book,…
