What an amazing listen this was! A lush, lurid world peopled with enigmatic, confounding characters. A little sci-fi, a little contemporary fantasy, a whole lot of marvelous. Impeccable verisimilitude. Achieved in no small part due to the perfect narration by Sid Sagar. #audiobookreview

This vampire tale/historical fantasy/gay romance had lots of ideas that were derivative and never quite came together. Also, the narrator has a peculiar voice I wasn't sure I would be able to hang with. That evened itself out as the story went along. #audiobook #audiobookstagram #audiobookreview

Sam J. Miller grabbed me by the short hairs and pulled with this electrifying introduction to his work. Short stories threaded through with mysterious, menacing interludes. Haven't been this excited by an author in a long while! @sentencebender.bsky.social #bookrecommendation #bookstagram

Laundry casualties of the great power outage basement flood of 2026. Other casualties: chest freezer, books, many sentimental items. Luckily my beloved recording booth survived unscathed. Our water-powered sump pump backup that is supposed to kick in failed--a month after it was out of warranty.

I'm a fan of David R. Slayton's Adam Binder series, but I fell in love with the sumptuous world of the Gods of Night and Day series. Gorgeously crafted high fantasy full of capital R romance. Michael David Axtell lends perfect poetic narration. sbee.link/rpawngkcmj

The amateurish cover art is a shame, because this series is the best LitRPG I've read yet. Plus Michael Taggart is a Kentucky boy and much of the action is set in Louisville. Well constructed urban fantasy with a lot of heart. Highly recommend. sbee.link/d6cvygeq98
