I finished: Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang

While I enjoyed the romance and the politics, I didn't connect to the cooking or the sci-fi.

Even before the cooking turned grotesque, it didn't speak in a language I understood, and when I understood it felt blunt.

Same thing for the science, it didn't seem to add up in any meaningful way. It's there as setting.

I'd recommend reading The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem.

It tackles the same subject but it a more convincing way. Though it doesn't deal as much with issues of race, feminism and lgbtq.

Browsing shows and some of these are recorded like an audio drama, some are recorded like a full cast audiobook that is comparable to the mainstream audiobook publishers. I can’t wait until the rest of the community starts exploring audio fiction in the podcast space. Not only will it save you money, but it will open your eyes to hard-working talented authors that isn’t given respect. One recommendation out of many is https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blue-sky-the-podfic/id850915968 @audiobooks

Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne

A fellow social worker I knew from grad school shared this book on her Instagram story and recommended it. I was on a hold list for the ebook at my local library for weeks, but now, I have it. I’m also listening to the read by the author.

I miss these Play Away devices! Offline, easy to use, and, better yet, offline! Sure the sound quality wasn't amazing, but it's far better than fighting with the app sometimes! https://playaway.com/audiobooks/ @audiobooks

Reminder that if you want to hear me perform the voice of a 6'5" mountain man, I do that in "Scar" by Kelsie Calloway. In real life I'm a tiny woman! But I also have opera training, and that makes all the difference when I'm voicing burly men. 💪

You can hear him make his first appearance a the end of the attached sample.

SCAR: High Heat BBW Mountain Man Instalove

A kindle displays the cover for Scar, by Kelsie Calloway, Narrated by Eden Cavell. The female protagonist, Marilyn, describes her arrival in Alaska. She hears a rumbling in the distance, when an angry, burly mountain man interrupts her with "Jesus H. Christ." The audiobook is also available through Amazon as an ebook, at the same link.

I'm trying an experiment: I started a facebook page where I'm posting all my thoughts in short form.

Each post will also have a link to my Goodreads writeup if for those who want more details.

I'm slowly adding my 2024 audiobooks to the page. Take a look if you want. The page will be updated regularly.
