Emma Knight - The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus

Emma Knight - The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus (2026-04-29)

By: Emma Knight
Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld
Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins
Release date: 01-07-25

★★☆☆☆

This book was SO BORING. At one point it seemed like they may be considering having something happen but they got scared and went back to boring. And the way they jumped directly and deeply from one character to another, in a different time/setting, between even just paragraphs, was so frustrating. (To be fair, maybe it was more clear in print?)

"Read with Jenna" steered me wrong :-(


Stephen King - Billy Summers

Friday, April 24, 2026, 09:20 PM

Stephen King - Billy Summers (2026-04-24)

Narrated by: Paul Sparks
Length: 16 hrs and 57 mins
Release date: 08-03-21

★★★½☆

I enjoyed it enough. I certainly found myself excited to keep reading and to finish (but not in the "get through it sense"). I did think the transition to the second half with Alice Maxwell was hard to swallow and felt kind of out of nowhere. That is why I knocked off half a star.

I was also a bit disappointed with the narrator. He wasn't really bad but his sentences felt disjointed rather than flowing.


Chris Whitaker - All the Colors of the Dark

Chris Whitaker - All the Colors of the Dark (2026-04-19)

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini
Length: 14 hrs and 37 mins
Release date: 06-25-24

★★★★☆

I generally liked it and would suggest it. I will say, I made the mistake of trusting Super Summary to be careful about spoilers and it failed. So some of it was needlessly spoiled for me!
