As soon as I finish listening to The Simarillion, this will be my next audiobook. Tom Baker wrote AND recorded it, and I've only heard good things.

I've been re-watching a lot of Dr. Who lately. New and old. I'm also going to listen to the tagged book after my current audiobook. And I might have also ordered a copy from ebay. If you press the button on K-9's back he says "Affirmative Master".

I‘ve mentioned a couple of times that I read all of Bourdain‘s books last year. His still photographer is doing a sale of these fairly reasonably priced prints ($120 US shipping included), and I ended up buying 3 (at his writing desk) and 4 (the iconic middle finger). After all that time with him last year, it‘ll be nice to have him near my bookshelves! Sale ends tomorrow.

pickInformative. Disturbing. Sometimes funny. How do you describe this book? It sucks you in with a premise of a ridiculous “infomercial” for American Beef exports, and unwraps layers of things we don‘t like to think about. I don‘t eat factory-farmed meat but if I did before this book would have made me stop. Not preachy, but gets the message through loud and clear.
Happy 212th birthday to Lizzy, Darcy et al 🎉
pickI don‘t read many memoirs (and my reason for reading this one was mainly to fill a book chain challenge prompt) but I had a delightful time listening to Lauren look back on her acting career - it‘s really just a highlight reel of what went well and it‘s told in such an upbeat, breezy manner that it feels like a friend telling her favourite anecdotes over coffee.
pickThis is 5 short stories set in the world of Dr. Who with River Song. (I absolutely love Alex Kingston in this role btw.) Overall I enjoyed this a lot. However, one of them almost immediately felt like it was written by a man. Spoiler alert, it was. Which was unfortunate because it was a great premise. It was still a fun book though.
