How To Be a Badass Witch series, by Michael Anderle. Stuck on Book 2 because no one is seeding books 2 & 3.  https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/how-to-be-a-badass-witch-how-to-be-a-badass-witch-1-michael-anderle/#"Fed up with playing the normal game, recent university graduate, ex-cum laude, ex-soccer star, ex-popular and mostly broke Kera MacDonagh changes her life when she decides to research how to be a witch... And believes it. Kera didn’t want to go back east and deal with her overbearing Mom. So, when university was done, she stayed behind in Los Angeles. Little did she realize how controlling moms can be from the other side of the country. Feeling a little desperate to make her own way, she buys a few books on business. And one on a lark ‘How to be a Badass Witch.’ That’s when the trouble started."

The Eliminators by Jacqueline Druga I just finished the last book. They went so fast! I hope she publishes more. I liked the light comedy among the friends. I like all sorts of books and z-books…this is “zombie-lite” so not hard-core Zombie gore/desperation or post apocalypse struggle. These have lots of dialog (I like) well written and fast paced. Please seed. Post these to other sites if you want and maybe send Jacqueline Druga a gift card for her work. https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/the-eluiminators-01-jacqueline-druga/ |

Big Thanx to Laverna for the Parker series 24 books  https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/parker-01-24-richard-stark/Richard Stark was a new author to me and the name of a couple of his books got my attention as they had been turned into movies, good ones as I recall. From the first book he grabbed me and the narrators are very good (imo a bad narrator can kill a book no matter how good the book is.) For fans of crime and shorter than average books (Each book approx. 6 hrs.) he is a must listen... Thanx again Laverna and all the other uploaders I have failed to mention in the past.. |

I’m listening to "The Once and Future King" by T. H. White. An old traditional fantasy book. It’s a very entertaining tome of Arthur, Merlin (his teacher) and the Knights. There are 2 versions of this book (it's actually a collection of his stories). One has a story called "A Witch in the Wood" as the 2nd book. The later version has "The Queen of Air and Darkness" as the second book. Info from Wiki: The Queen of Air and Darkness is a fantasy novel by English writer T. H. White. It is the second book in his series The Once and Future King. It continues the story of the newly crowned King Arthur, his tutelage by the wise Merlyn, his war against King Lot, and also introduces the Orkney clan, a group of characters who would cause the eventual downfall of the king. The original second book in the series was The Witch in the Wood, published in 1939. It has the same general outline as the replacement work, but is substantially longer and most of the text is different. "The Queen of Air and Darkness is a substantially different book from The Witch in the Wood, and less than half its length. The general outline is similar, but the tone is darker and more violent and many of the details are different; Sir Palomides is the tutor to the boys, for example, and the satire of Queen Morgause is longer and less comical." I'm listening to the original. here> https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/thie-once-and-future-king-series-books-1-5-th-white/ |

 I am listening to the Black Joke by Rooks. Lately, I have been interested in both the British and American African Squadrons. The Royal Navy was far more successful in slave ship interdiction than the US Navy, and they ended up freeing some 150K people from bondage from 1808 to 1867. They also lost over 1600 sailors, mostly to tropical diseases. I have previously uploaded a book on the British experience called Royal Navy Versus the Slave Traders: Enforcing Abolition at Sea, 1808-1898 - Bernard Edwards. The link is https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/royal-navy-versus-the-slave-traders-enforcing-abolition-at-sea-1808-1898-bernard-edwards/. As I recall, the American African Squadron was formed after the Webster–Ashburton Treaty of 1842 that settled some long-standing issues between the US and Britain. It was the first joint mission of the US and British forces. It ran from 1844-61 and stopped about 40 ships with slaves. There are no audiobooks available at this time about the American experience. However, I read two books about it Voyage to a Thousand Cares: Master's Mate Lawrence With the African Squadron, 1844-1846 and Africa Squadron: the U.S. Navy and the slave trade, 1842-1861. The first book is taken from the diary of a midshipman named Lawrence, who passed away from tropical disease while on duty. It is truly a fascinating book, and Lawrence seemed to be truly a wonderful human being. He volunteered for the squadron because he despised slavery. The other book is a decent history of the squadron and a good read. I became interested in the subject after reading another book called Chronicles of the Frigate Macedonian. She was a British warship captured by the US in the War of 1812 and one of her duty stations was with the American African Squadron. For American history buffs, the USS Constitution also served in the squadron as a flagship. I do find it kind of interesting, while slavery was still being practiced in the US, elements in the government were actively trying to stop it. Previously, the US did have 8 acts and treaties trying to stop the importation of slaves and expansion of it prior to the civil war. Anyway, some of the slaves were bound to the US, but a lot were going to Brazil and Arabia. Sadly slavery continues to this day. mod edit: image resized |

 5 Stars for Ruby, who brings amazing things to ABB! I normally avoid horror and serial killers, so I guess I'm commenting because I deviated from my norm and was kept engaged by this book--with the caveat that engaged doesn't always mean 'liked'. I 'liked' this book because I truly didn't know what was going to happen next, who was going to survive, who was truly the worse bad guy. You may not like this if you apply your IRL values to your fiction. *** Also, what are all the blue question mark symbols in the forum about? |

 I just finished Counting By Sevens by Holly Goldberg Sloan. I'm glad that someone recently requested a reseed and drew my attention to this sweet book. It's about an intelligent not-called-autistic girl who loses her loving parents at 12, and her journey into a new 'found' family. I enjoyed her view of the world. I enjoyed the supporting characters as well. My only complaint is that I wasn't ready for it to end. The author did give clues to where the story would be going had she continued writing. This provided a HEA, but not a stopping point for my imagination. This is classified as YA, but is no less enjoyable to an adult. As a teacher, I enjoyed the depiction of 'project-based learning' and found so many instances of the author understanding school culture that I suspected she'd taught. I loved the depiction of problem solving and learning as a natural function in the character's life and that she wasn't shut down by 'testing culture'. I always appreciate when the positive side of 'being different' is allowed to shine. Pub 2013, it was Amazon's best book of the year (BOTY) for middle grades and spent over 40 weeks on the NYT Bestseller list. It has been on 44 states reading lists for middle schools and won BOTY for young readers in several states. I would enjoy doing a book study group with it. I got curious enough about the author to look her up, and wow, what an interesting life. Turns out, she is the child of a teacher (psych prof) and an architect. I can see both influences in this book. She's a screenwriter and has written several hit movies. She traveled and lived around the world as a child. Interesting short read about her childhood here: https://www.hollygoldbergsloan.com › about-holly. I will look forward to reading more of her work. |

I am nearly done with Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder written by Valerie Burns and narrated by Jasmin Walker. It was posted two years ago here on ABB. I found it elsewhere from a torrent search site. Haven't yet decided my next audiobook yet. |
