TWO Roman books this time - one a regular hardback and one in audio. Coincidentally they have similar themes, with crooks stealing gold or silver from the mines of Roman provinces but the tales are quite different. I'm a massive, massive fan of Douglas Jackson's Gaius Valerius Verrens character and Saviour of Rome is... Continue Reading →

Wow! This started off slowly, and the narrator, with her incredibly plummy, posh English voice was quite irritating at... Continue Reading →
Wuthering Heights By: Emily Brontë Narrated by: Janet Paulson Length: 14 hrs and 40 mins Unabridged Release date: 30-08-17 Language: English Publisher: Oregan Publishing After trying Jane Eyre (see my review HERE) and finding, much to my surprise, that I enjoyed it immensely, I thought I'd try some more books like that.

Jane Eyre Written by: Charlotte Bronte Narrated by: Thandie Newton Length: 19 hrs and 10 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release Date:17/04/2016 Publisher: Audible Studios Well, this one is a real departure for me. I've never reviewed a book from the "gothic romance" genre before but, after Jane Eyre, well, it might be the first in a long line. I subscribe to Audible's... Continue Reading →
What Does This Button Do? Written by: Bruce Dickinson Narrated by: Bruce Dickinson Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins Unabridged Audiobook Anyone who knows me will know two of my favourite things are audiobooks and heavy metal. Especially Iron Maiden. So I was very happy to find their lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, had written an autobiography and it was... Continue Reading →
