Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints

Posted on April 29, 2017 by stewartry

So, this was supposed to be funny, right? OK, just checking. I apparently have no sense of humor, or a different sort, because this brand of humor eludes me. Or maybe it’s not so much the fact that a character … Continue reading →

The Legendarium – Kevin G. Summers, Michael Bunker – Robert Rossman

Posted on September 4, 2016 by stewartry

Oh…kay. First off, I sincerely hope the authors are (or, you know, were) VERY good friends with “NYTbestsellingauthorHughHowey”. Actually, I would harbor a strong suspicion that one (or both) of the authors IS Hugh Howey … except … I loved … Continue reading →

The Werewolf of Bamberg – Oliver Pötzsch – Grover Gardner

Posted on August 27, 2016 by stewartry

The good thing about listening to MP3 CD’s is that a nearly-600-page book fit on two discs, so I don’t have to worry about having to change discs mid-commute. (I’m not an idiot, so I’m not going to do it … Continue reading →

The Aeronaut’s Windlass – Jim Butcher – Euan Morton

Posted on August 25, 2016 by stewartry

Jim Butcher is kind of fantastic, isn’t he? I was cautious about this book, because while I have adored Harry Dresden from the beginning (and even more once James Marsters was added to the mix) I did not much love … Continue reading →

Half a Crown – Jo Walton – John Keating, Terry Donnelly

Posted on August 23, 2016 by stewartry

It’s 1960, and fascism has settled comfortably over England – and much of the world, apparently – like a pea–souper. And – being a completist at times – I listened to this third book despite not being thrilled with the … Continue reading →

The Tao of Pooh – Benjamin Hoff – Simon Vance

Posted on August 3, 2016 by stewartry

For some time I’ve referred to one co-worker as Eeyore, because every time anyone asked her in ordinary conversation how she was, instead of saying “fine” or what-have-you she always says “oh, well” and follows with a description of how … Continue reading →

Ha’Penny – Jo Walton – John Keating, Heather O’Neill

Posted on January 31, 2016 by stewartry

I kind of liked the first book in this trilogy. I didn’t like this one nearly so much. (I loathed the third one, but I’ll get to that in due time.) It takes place not so long after the first … Continue reading →

Girl with Glasses – Marissa Walsh – Margie Lenhart

Posted on January 30, 2016 by stewartry

“Girl with Glasses” was not meant to be read aloud all of a piece like this. It’s a collection of essays and sketches and vignettes and lists; a few have a beginning, a middle, and an end, but more have … Continue reading →

Here, There Be Dragons – James A. Owen – James Langton

Posted on November 30, 2015 by stewartry

I am very disappointed in this audiobook. I loved the beginning – so much. James Langton was charming as a reader. No, really – charming. He read in a neutral, British-flavored voice, which perfectly set off the tones and accents … Continue reading →
