Dark Matter by Blake Crouch I’m not sure how this book came to my attention. Perhaps it was recommended for me on my Audible list, or perhaps I found it randomly. With so many things going on in my life, sometimes it’s hard to remember how I come across things! I’m glad I did, though, this was a fun novel that had me intrigued from the start. It also gave me a lot of things to think about! Mental chewing…
NOS4A2 by Joe Hill I heard about this novel on the radio morning show that I listen to every day when I take my kids to school. And since I’ve had great recommendations from the show in the past, I put it on my Audible list. I gotta say, I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. NOS4A2 is a supernatural suspense novel by a master of horror, Joe Hill. The story takes place over the course of a young…

So I figured I would love other works by Lev Grossman, and I wasn’t exactly wrong. I wasn’t exactly right, either. The title Codex refers to a medieval text that has been lost to time.

I love listening to Sarah and Vinnie on Alice at 97.3. They give the best book reviews! Whenever Sarah says she loves a book, I’m pretty much guaranteed to love it, too. And the fact that they’re local celebrities who promote reading is a big plus in my book.…
Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi I’d listened to Lock In by John Scalzi, because Wil Wheaton read it. I was a big fan of Wil Wheaton’s performances in the audiobooks of Ready Player One and Armada by Ernest Cline. (Both are excellent books, if you ask me. Super fun and highly entertaining!) So I searched for other books that WW had read, and found Lock In. It was a great book. When Agent to the Stars popped up on…
