“Brian Cox plays Logan Roy on HBO's Succession: history's most toxic tv dad. This book is everything I like a celebrity memoir to be: he names the names, gives gracious credit where it's due, and slams idiots with gusto! Not a perfect individual himself, he owns up to his failures and is brutally honest about his vulnerabilities. Emotional, charming, lots of belly laughs. Also exceptional on Libro.fm audio. ”

“A slow burn and long build up leads to a big pay off and leaves you wanting for more! I enjoyed this as an audiobook for the pronunciation of words and names as well as the multicast narration. It is perfect for those who love their fantasy based on mythology, enjoy Hero’s Journey and Chosen One story arcs, and like political intrigue and maneuvering. We are introduced to a full array of complex, morally gray characters whose lives are moving toward intersection on the day of Convergence. In particular, I liked the running theme showcasing how each main character faces loneliness and alienation based on their past, present place in the world, and the expectations placed upon them. The world building is detailed and imaginative without overtaking character development, and we are provided with a diverse cast of characters where queerness and being non-binary are matter of fact.”

“With A Thousand Ships, Natalie Haynes has secured herself a seat at the table with Madeline Miller as a great contemporary-classical novelist. I'm so glad that I listened to this one on audio, as Haynes is able to lend her literal voice to these characters and do them a great service. On a related note, I'll wait in line for stand-alone works following Penthesilea and Penelope! Homer experts and novices alike will devour this novel. ”

“Botanical Curses and Poisons: The Shadow-Lives of Plants is positively packed with information -- from botanical tidbits, literary references, to historical tales. Inkwright dives into a range of nefarious and fascinating plants, examining each from A-Z. I often found myself rewinding, listening to chapters two or three times to absorb the compelling range of material attributed to each plant. This is a book where you need to have Google handy, if only to look at images of the beautifully described plants (the physical copy has gorgeous illustrations by the author, while the audio book is well-narrated by Leslie Howard), or dig into a strange new fact. This book connects plants to so many other aspects of the world, including animals, folklore, and wider elements of culture. This is a book to read over and over, to mark and refer back to, and to take outside with you to look around with newfound respect for nature and its darker characters.”

“This book was so informative and a joy to listen to. Jason Reynolds has such a way with words, and with him narrating the book as well, you're swept up in the history being told. This is a perfect audiobook for high schoolers to listen to with their parents.”
