Lies, Damned Lies, and History – Jodi Taylor – Zara Ramm

Posted on August 28, 2016 by stewartry

I love Jodi Taylor. I love Max. (I also love Zara Ramm.) (It’s especially fun to hear her say “Caer Guorthigern”.) But the premise of this installment in the Chronicles of St. Mary’s is … not what it could be. … Continue reading →

The Tea Machine – Gill McKnight

Posted on July 26, 2016 by stewartry

I mentioned in my review of another fantasy novel what a wild and ridiculous–sounding synopsis it had. (It really did.) So does The Tea Machine. Maybe moreso. Amazons and giant killer squid. Time travel and steampunk and a tea cult. … Continue reading →

Must Love Kilts – Angela Quarles

Posted on July 13, 2016 by stewartry

Oh, dear. I hate to do this. I loved the first book; I loved it enough that when the author made overtures to include me in her email newsletter and offered me this next book in the series I was … Continue reading →

Must Love Breeches – Angela Quarles – Jane Wells

Posted on May 23, 2016 by stewartry

I surprised myself by requesting this book from Audiobookloudnoise.com (kidding – it’s now audiobookboom.com). I mean, I’m not a big romance fan, and I generally object to the time travel romance (been there, done that, got the torn bodice), and … Continue reading →

Just One Damned Thing After Another – Jodi Taylor – Zara Ramm

Posted on May 23, 2016 by stewartry

I. Loved. This. So much. The early part of 2015 was just crammed with time travel audiobooks. I didn’t mean to do that; it just happened. I didn’t even know a couple of them were time travel till I started … Continue reading →

All Clear – Connie Willis – Katherine Kellgren

Posted on March 19, 2016 by stewartry

“That’s no way to talk in the presence of ladies, you bleedin’ sod,” the first man said belligerently…. “Beggin’ your pardon, misses. I shouldn’t ‘ave called ‘Itler a little bastard. ‘E’s the biggest bastard what ever lived.” I think I … Continue reading →

Gideon the Cutpurse – Linda Buckley-Archer – Gerard Doyle

Posted on January 29, 2016 by stewartry

First off, this was a good narration. I started to write “great”, but then remembered three moments where, if I had been (God forbid) listening through earbuds, I would have had to claw them off my head and rock back … Continue reading →

11/22/63: Stephen King, Craig Wasson

Posted on August 14, 2015 by stewartry

A few years back, my image of Stephen King was entirely made up of killer clowns and rabid dogs and possessed cars (there’s a thought: Christine as a killer clown car…), the grandpappy of a genre I had absolutely no … Continue reading →

Mariana – Susanna Kearsley

Posted on February 23, 2013 by stewartry

And a happy birthday to Majel Barrett Roddenberry. As usual, I wandered into this Kindle book from Netgalley with little knowledge of what to expect; I knew there was a sort of time travel involved, and that GR friends enjoyed … Continue reading →

Prehistoric Clock – Robert Appleton

Posted on July 18, 2012 by stewartry

Sooner or later, clockwork requires each piece to accept its nature or break. Hearts are no different. I have limited experience with steampunk. Most of what I’ve stumbled across has been romance of some sort or other, which is fine … Continue reading →
