As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner was a poignant story set in 1900’s Philadelphia and a portion takes place during World War I, the Spanish Flu and eventual Prohibition. Narrated by Cassandra Morris, Tavia Gilbert, Jorjeana Marie, Abigail Revasch this brilliantly crafted historical fiction shares the Bright families triumphs, heartaches and the bonds that tie them.
I’ve been on an urban fantasy binge this year, and when given the opportunity to listen to Havoc Rising by Brian S. Leon I quickly grabbed my headphones. Mythology, gods, fae, witches, and an immortal guardian…heck yes!
I grabbed Two Tales of the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne in my quest to listen to EVERY DANG THING in the Iron Druid Chronicles. Those who remember I was deathly ill in January and over the course of twelve days devoured the series, novellas, and spinoffs on audio. Short or long Hearne knows how to spin a tale and I cannot get enough of this world and its characters.
It’s time once again for Nonna’s Corner where I share books reviewed by myself and my grandchildren affectionately referred to as the Royals. Today we have a silly bedtime story called, Don’t Blink! written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by David Roberts. Grab a cup of joe and enjoy!
Grey Sister by Mark Lawrence is the second novel in the brilliant Book of the Ancestor series and once again Lawerence transported me to the Convent of Sweet Mercy where Nona must choose her path. Captivating, well-developed and engaging Mark Lawerence is a mesmerizing and skillful storyteller.
