Magnetic North by Jenna Butler

Narrated by Marysia Bucholc I must preface my review with a crucial point, I am not a fan of poetry or written verse. I am a little slow in getting to the point in that format, and for someone who reads at the speed that I do, it is a bad combination. This review reflects…

Maid of Dishonor by Gracie Ruth Mitchell

Narrated by Eva Wilhelm, Brandon Utah I really enjoyed this book, predominantly because of the brilliant narration. The narrators brought the story to life, and by having both sides of the couple provide their own versions, there was a significant increase in the tension level as the story progressed.At its simplest, this is a story…

The Pocket Guide to Neurodiversity by Daniel Aherne

This review is purely only for the audiobook version of the book. The author has done a decent job of providing information regarding Neurodiversity, but at the end of every chapter, that is a complete summary of everything that we just heard. Given that the chapters are not that long, it felt a little repetitive.This…

Virtual Strangers by Sam Canning

Narrated by Lesley Harcourt Two things enhanced my experience with this book. One was the fact that I was actually in Edinburgh (where the book was based) when I started and finished listening to it. The second was the narrator. There was a light, fun tone which she maintained throughout the book that had me…

A Restless Truth by Freya Marske

Narrated by Aysha Kala I would not recommend listening to this book in a public space. It has some explicit content that I forwarded in parts even when I was at home. I had to begin with this disclaimer because it is probably one of the more elaborate books I have listened to. While reading,…

The Chimpanzee Whisperer by Stany Nyandwi with David Blissett

Narrated by Dion Graham, Callie Beaulieu This book is more than just the story of chimpanzees. It is about a man whose life changed in relation to them. The audiobook begins with introductions that set the scene as to what the different organizations have done and what the situation actually is like.We meet Stany very…

Something Quite Beautiful: Seven short stories by Amanda Prowse

I did not know what to expect from this collection, and once I got started, I was mesmerised by the variety here. No two stories were alike - there was always some kind of twist at the end, and each of them threatened to make me tear up in public when I was listening to…

What the Flock! by Sally Urwin

I listened to this audiobook a while ago. It was almost right after another farm-focused one, so I decided to give some time between the two. That said, they are completely different to each other. This particular book focuses on a very different aspect of living a life on a farm.The author does not come…
