#ThrowbackThursday ~ Morrighan (The Remnant Chronicles 0.5) by Mary E Pearson #YA #PostApocalyptic

Posted in Audiobook, Book Review, Fantasy, Post Apocalyptic, Throwback Thursday, Young Adult Fiction by

Morrighan by Mary Pearson is my Throwback Thursday choice this week. An audiobook narrated by Julia Whelan and MacLeod Andrews, two of my favourites, and released in 2016.

My Thoughts

Although this is a prequel it can be read as a standalone novella. I haven’t yet read any of the Remnant Chronicles so I’m not sure of the connection to the series. From what I can gather the characters in this don’t feature in the main storyline and are, perhaps, ancestors.

This week’s Throwback Thursday choice is Beijing Red, an audiobook narrated by MacLeod Andrews. It was released in 2016 by Blackstone Audiobooks.

While working as an NGO volunteer for a non-profit organisation, overseeing a clean water project in western China, Nick Foley, a decorated ex Navy SEAL, is caught up in the outbreak of a deadly and unknown disease. He witnesses his friend, Batur, a Muslim and member of the local Uyghur community, die a horrifying and unexplained death.

#ThrowbackThursday ~ Burnt Offerings: Valancourt 20th Century Classics By Robert Marasco #Horror #Audiobook

Posted in Audiobook, Book Review, Horror, Throwback Thursday by

My Throwback Thursday choice this week is an audiobook which was released in March 2016, and narrated by RC Bray. It’s not gory, more classic type horror and apparently it was an acknowledged influence on The Shining. One of the most original and scary haunted house novels ever written, according to Amazon. I’ve since acquired the film but haven’t watched it as yet.
