Finished
x + y A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender by Eugenia Cheng
which as you can probably guess I picked up as it started with X
lol

Adobe PDF with no ability to change the font size so super annoying and took me ages to read, but it was very interesting

And I have to say... I’m 30% in to my pirate audiobook and it is great! The netgalley shelf app is better than I expected and the story and the narration are really well done. I hope my other audios are just as good quality

Vicki Willis | 498 comments I have The Night Swim. I am excited about that one.


message 55: by Vicki Willis (new)

Vicki Willis | 498 comments I listened to The Shadows on audio and now I am listening to What You Wish For.
I haven't had any issues with them. It is great for me! I am going to try not to get a big back log of audios though. I only listen to one at time.

Kristie | 3601 comments I started The Night Swim before The Switch just because it publishes first. The Switch will be next. So far the story is good, but it feel more like a general or contemporary fiction more than a mystery/thriller. There is a little bit of that in there too, but that doesn't seem to be the focus. I'm only about 20% in, but I haven't had any issues either.

I hope you enjoy What You Wish For, Vicki. I thought it was good, not as good as her previous book, but still enjoyable. It took me a while to like the MCs though.

Kristie | 3601 comments Well, I broke down and downloaded The Shadows. That is my 9th add this month! I have more books on my shelf than I've had in a long time and most of them publish within the next 2 months. This auto-approval by Macmillan Audio is going to be the death of me, but I love it!

The Shadows by Alex North

Vicki Willis | 498 comments I can't wait to see what you think of The Shadows Kristie. It didn't click with me but it might have just been wrong time and place for me and I couldn't get into it.

The reviews definitely aren't as promising as The Whisper Man, but my curiosity was killing me. lol

I finished my first NetGalley audio and I really enjoyed it. I thought the production quality was great and the story was quite fun. Unfortunately the main protagonist drove me bananas so I'm not sure I will continue the series, but I still recommend it
By Sea & Sky An Esowon Story (The Sky Pirate Chronicles #1) by Antoine Bandele
