(audiobook) Review - World War Z by Max Brooks

My review went up Sunday, but a day and a half behind is actually me doing really well at the moment. Here's the link to my review of World War Z at sffaudio.com.

Let’s just say, if we ever do get into a Zombie War, you better have a copy of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide on you. Someone’s already gone through the effort of thinking up EVERY situation that can occur, what’s effective, what’s not and put it down in words. No sense reinventing the wheel. While an entertaining idea and clever execution, these were the exact things that made World War Z a book only a mother could love I could never love. It’s worth a read if only to see how in-depth you have not thought about zombies.

(audiobook) Review - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Read by Wil Wheaton

Here's my review.

As I announced before, all my audio reviews are heading over to SFFaudio.com, probably of their own accord even. Today, my review of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline went up. I don't know how better to explain my love of this book than with this awkward phrase we sometimes use - it tickled my fancy. It really did. This book won me over immediately and made me want to live there possibly forever. I don't even love the '80's all that much.

My New Gig at SFFaudio.com

Audiobooks seem to be on the rise lately with companies like Audible and a plethora of other sites allowing people to keep up with their busy schedule while reading the books they love.

If you're anything like me, I always have a book going in multiple formats so that no matter what, a spare moment can be used exactly how I want to use it - reading of course. I usually have a book going in paper on my nightstand, one on my Kindle for those moments when the phone app is more accessible, and of course an audiobook for my diving and walking.

I'm not joking, literally every moment is spent doing what I love. It's also the only way I can read as many books as I do.

I read a number of audiobooks every year and up until this time it has been almost the only way I can read all the books I've been meaning to read for ages, but haven't gotten around to. Well, now that will be changing a bit as I'll be posting all my audiobook reviews at SFFaudio.com.

As my last post pointed out, I read about 11 or 12 audiobooks a year, so it's nothing that will change too much about this blog, but yet I'm very excited about this tiny change. It also means that I will be getting audiobook review copies, so who knows when I'll read all the books I've been meaning to get to . I know, woe is me, the terrible life of getting the thing you love just slightly less than you kids for free.

With that riveting intro, I also wanted to let you know my first review is up today:

Island of the Sequined Love Nun was actually my first foray into his work, but what got me more than anything else, even more than Moore’s popularity and humor, was the title itself. It says it all. And after having read it, it’s an extremely fitting title. (Review - Island of the Sequined Love Nun)
