A twice weekly podcast where a different book is reviewed each episode. Not sure if that book is going to be worth it? On the fence if that book is a good fit for you? Pop in with me, and listen to a quick little review about it. I'll walk you through my thoughts, how it made me feel, and how I rated it and why. The reviews aren't super spoilery, and while I promise not to ruin the main plot point, the same cannot be said for some minor plots and twists along the way. It's just me, and my thoughts, no co-host. Because like I tackle a lot of things in my life, I am hosting the podcast solo. Find the joy the joy in reading ,with me, for just a few minutes of your day.

    Legends and Lattes - Travis Baldree

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. I finally break down and read Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. At the end of the day, this book wasn't for me. I have got to stop reading cozy fantasy, there are only a few that actually do it for me. But I want to like the genre so badly. Despite my issues with the book, I still rated this 4 stars, because even though a book might not be for me, doesn't mean I can't see the vision.

    Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In this episode I review Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy. I highly recommend reading thing book by the audio book, Ciaran Saward has such a lovely way of narrating this story that makes it feel magical, and the way his accents subtly change between characters really help bring this to life. I tried out this story on a whim, and am happy to report that it was a 4.5 star rating for me. This is the first book in the uncompleted The Wildersongs Trilogy.

    Murderland - Caroline Fraser

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. I journey back to non-fiction this week with Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers by Caroline Fraser. This one was an interesting topics with some interesting points, but ultimately missed the mark for me when it comes to non-fiction books. Apologies for the background noise, there were a pair of overalls in my dryer and I did not expect my microphone across the house to pick up the clang every time the metal hit. No apologies for the dog noises, I have two of them. They are needy and I have found it is easier to let them lay at my feet than to lock them out of the room. They're even louder in the hall. Even though this podcast is supposed to be Solo, let's just call them my co-hosts.

    Relic - Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is the first book in the Pendergast series. It's very much a novel for fans of Jurassic Park with the same kind of Thriller/Horror/Sci-Fi theme going on. This book kicks off what I hope to be a really fun series that I enjoy as much as I enjoyed this book.

    Winter's Orbit - Everina Maxwell

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In this Episode of Solo Shelfie I review the 2 time 5 star review Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell. A marvelous debut novel written in 2021, this space opera is a book that I keep coming back to. Featuring my dogs making noise in the background, because no matter how much I begged, pleaded, and bribed, they needed to be right under foot the entire time I was recording.

    Not Quite Dead Yet - Holly Jackson

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In this episode I review Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson. A unique take on the who done it mystery genre. A victim solves their own murder before they die. This book had twits and turns that I did not expect, and an ending that changed my rating from 3.5 stars to 5 stars.
