Welp, I finally read this book. And I know with absolute certainty that I would not have finished it if it weren’t for the audio. How can a book be so boring when it’s not even 200 pages long?! And did I read a different book than everyone else did?!?! The writing was dull, the characters were dull, and the story should have been interesting but it just wasn’t. The audio, though? Literally all the stars I would give this […]
I’m going to be completely honest: I never would have looked twice at this book. I didn’t even really know about its existence (or anything about it, for that matter). But, it was my book club’s pick for the month, so I checked out a sample of the audio…and realized that an octopus was a narrator. I was instantly intrigued! I went in with little to no expectations, and the result is that this book absolutely broadsided me. I did […]
This book was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I didn’t love it like I’d hoped I would, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. The narration was great! I think without listening I wouldn’t have enjoyed this very much tbh and may have considered DNFing. The narrator reminded me a lot of Pippa’s narrator in Good Girl’s Guide (one of my fave audiobooks!). It started off kinda slow, but there was enough intrigue and suspense to […]
What. T h e. F U C K. did I just read?! I don’t even know how to properly rate this book. This was 10/10 the weirdest, most disturbing book I’ve ever read in my life. It started off fairly normal – a pandemic sweeps across the nation and changes life as everyone knows it (much like COVID) – but then shit starts getting certifiably fucked. It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]
I hadn’t heard of this book before until I was searching for books narrated by Bahni Turpin (one of my fave narrators!) and this popped up. It sounded intriguing…and it was! It was a weird but fascinating read, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I never read Annihilation, but I did see the movie, and it was also weird AF but also interesting and unusual. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but the premise is so unique […]
