Anyways, so in this one it's all about how Usagi becomes Sailor Moon and then how she forms the inner senshi, minus Sailor Venus of course. AND AND AND Tuxedo Mask makes appearances and it's like there is swooning all over the place because those shoulders. Basically, I just love this book and plan on reviewing the shit out of it soon.(less)

Also, the end of my version has an interview with Reginald Rose's widow, Ellen Rose which was very illuminating. Real review to come later. Big thanks to Allison at the Allure of Books for convincing me to give this one a listen.(less)

Set during Christmas, some jewelry goes missing and Sherlock Holmes thinks that the accused didn't do it, so he goes in search of who really did it. And yeah, geese.(less)

Novella is Tod's backstory of how he became a reaper - after a car accident that's kind of his fault, he decides to become a reaper in order to save his brother and so the novella is basically how Tod deals with it, and how he is reaping souls at nursing rooms and such. In all, it's not bad.A good readathon listen. I also liked the narrator for the most part, except for his girl voicing. (This is definitely not my full review, these are just notes for later)(less)

Ordinary men pulling off a big heist, also caught up in political trial. History is interesting, even the real life stuff. Art - I liked it but wish the font had been bigger but then when I made it bigger, it went blurry. Those are the perils of reading via computer screen, people who read the physical copy likely won't have my problem. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. --these are notes for my review later---(less)
