#46. - 4 stars. I have added this to my Audible collection around 2017 or so. It was a nice little refreshing course on the generalities of the world's various religions. It's more of an intro than any detailed analysis, but for that it was a really good one.

#47. by Megan Whalen Turner - 4 stars

I added this to my TBR in 2019 based on Lexie's and Cat's recommendations. Took me a long time to get to it, but I enjoyed it very much and I'm planning to go on with the series. (yes, another book added,😅 )

Taking your advice! :)

🤭

BTW, have you read Foundation as audiobook?

There is an edition narrated by Scott Brick, who also does the Orphan X series.

Thanks, Sammy. It's not in the us plus catalogue.

Hurrah! and Lexi will be pleased to hear that too :)"

Yes, it was on both of your recommendations that I put the book on my TBR in the first place. 😊

BTW, Cat, I'm really enjoying The Thief. :)

Thank you, Lexie. ☺️

I should really re-read The Eyre Affair for books-about- books, especially as I bought the audiobook on a sale. :)

Plus it has "a herd of bemused cows" in text. ☺️

That's a relief! :) ♡

I can take the book Judith has recommended. :) Just not immediately.

this series is actually silly fun and while there are sexy times, there is actually a fun ridiculous plot and not just ..."

I think I can take this and even put it on my read shelf. 🤭

Oh...

Thank you, Sophie, I'll check out if those have been translated into Hungarian.

Considering tentacles, I think there was a China Mieville book as well, but it's on the other side of the spectrum.
I'll check out if there's some short tentacle porn I can find in me to tackle. :D

I think I need to spend my extra credit on the Tolkien letters anyway, but will wait for your judgement before committing to Tolkien in the Twenty-First Century: The Meaning of Middle-Earth Today.

Dang, Sammy, stop reading books that I want to go and read right away!! 😅

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a godsend. Drew Domi out of his reading slump. He's enjoying it very much. 🥰

Prince Cadram
1. 200-299
2. MC is royalty
3. Letters in DESERT in the title
4. features an assassination
5. features a diplomat, or a situation in which a character needs to be diplomatic

Done away with Galatea, going spinning now. 😊

Not enough, Sammy. :(
