Welcome to Litsy!

Many might not know his name, but may have heard his voice! Simon Vance has narrated many an #audiobook from the Temeraire series to the Aubrey/Maturin series to the Dune series! His voice is grand in style, comfortable in both male and female voices and dialects. When I listen to his stories I‘m transported inside the narrative thanks to his voice.

Interesting premise and I liked reading how ancient Romans lived, the public baths, the smell (omg, the smell - you could practically experience it coming off the pages with the descriptions), disease and war. Too bad the main character was so unlikeable. She had her own morals, like no drinking, no spanking children, etc., but then would give into them, almost like, “Oh well, when in Rome…” Ending felt flat and predictable too.

What did I just read? I had been wanting to read this book for a while. It was a huge letdown for me. I won't be continuing this series. I rated this book a 2 out of 5 stars.

It‘s about what Anne Frank may have been like had she lived. It is EXCELLENT!!

This book was an absolute delight, especially because of the narrator, who is infectiously enthusiastic. The book was so funny and did not take itself seriously, but still wove a cohesive and entertaining alternate history. I also loved all the pop culture references woven throughout.

A thrilling expansion of Clark's alternative Cairo. The third novella/short story in a trilogy of prequels to A Master of Djinn, we are introduced to Agent Nasr, a no-nonsense agent reluctantly paired with a newbie. Previous stories explored how the introduction of djinn and "angels" affected the city, but a new entity haunts this entry.

Been making intense eye contact with this book for a while now! Finally picked it up and super excited about it.

The engineer hadn't ridden the rails hobo-style since his getaway from the massacre in D.C. more than a year ago.
