Finished #audiobook Out of the Dark by David Weber. This #scifi #book is a mix of apocalyptic, military, and alien invasion scifi with a surprise left turn into classic horror. Heavy on the mil scifi, lots of tropes covered in the protagonists who include an Army veteran prepper and a couple of active duty AF and USMC guys. Long descriptions of weapons and battles I frankly zoned out on. First book in a trilogy, I might do the next one, might not. It's ok. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #bookstodon

Hey all, can anyone suggest some other #BandCamp alternatives other than places such as Payhip and Itch.io? I have some audio files I'd like to sell/make money on, but they are small and not quite audiobook length. Plus, the narrator and I have an ongoing arrangement so this won't be a static thing. I thought about making a premium version of my podcast, but I want somewhere where it's more pay what you want kinda model. As an example, weirdwritings.pinecast.co/epis #Audio #Audiobook #Audiobooks #SpokenWord #Podcast #Podcasts

#CoryDoctorow hat versehentlich eine deutsche Hörbuchfassung von #RedTeamBlues am Start, die über #Kickstarter bestellt werden kann: kickstarter.com/projects/docto (gelesen von #UveTeschner, übersetzt von #JürgenLangowski).

Solche G'schichten schreibt nur das Leben, und da mir das Buch sehr gefallen hat (auf Englisch) und es #DRMfrei ist, bewerbe ich das jetzt hier mal.

Brauche eine 🤩-Variante mit Sternen als Ohren!?! #Cory_Doctorow #Hörbuch #audiobook

Summary/Review:

When an older witch dies, Magrat Garlick inherits her magic wand which also makes her a fairy godmother.  Magrat journeys with Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg to Genua to meet Emberella, for whom she will be fairy godmother, and try to prevent a forced marriage to  the Duc. There travels include many misadventures and play as a spoof on Anglophone travelers stumbling through Europe.  The novel also plays on fairy tales, including the Frog Prince, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Sleeping Beauty.  Plus, there are zombies, vampires, voodoo witches, and Nanny Ogg’s cat Greebo who humorously  takes human form for part of the story.  Most of all, it is a story where Granny Weatherwax meets her biggest challenge – her long lost sister.  It’s another delightful entry in the Discworld oeuvre.
