This book looks good as well.
Honeysuckle
by Bar Fridman-Tell
The Bear and the Nightingale meets Weyward in this enchanting, deeply compelling debut about love and power, autonomy and consent.
Named a Best Book of March 2026 by Barnes & Noble and Apple.
Once upon a time, on the edge between meadow and forest, there was a lonely child with only his older sister for company. In exchange for being left in peace, his sister made him a playmate—Daye, a girl woven from flowers and words. And for the first time, this boy, Rory, had a friend.
Rory couldn’t be happier, until he learns that Daye is a short-lived creature. At the end of each season, she must be woven back together or fall gruesomely apart. And every time Daye falls apart might be her last.
As Rory and Daye grow older and the line between friendship and romance begins to blur, Rory becomes desperate to break this cycle of bloom and decay. But the farther Rory pushes his research and experiments to lengthen Daye’s existence, the more Daye begins to wonder just how much control she really has over her own life.
As a loose reimagining of the story of Blodeuwedd from Welsh mythology, Honeysuckle is an entrancing, inventive, and unsettling debut.

This book sounds like it could be good.
Sing the Night
By:
Megan Jauregui Eccles
Narrated by:
Lauren Ezzo
Series:
Opera Magique,
Book 1
Discover a fantastical story inspired by The Phantom of the Opera, as musical magicians compete for the once-in-a-lifetime role as the King's Mage, but
only if their magic—or fellow contestants—don't destroy them first—perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Erin Morgenstern.
For as long as Selene remembers, she's only wanted one thing: to sing the boldest, brightest magic into existence and win L′Opéra du Magician. To the winner
goes the spoils of being declared King′s Mage, a position her father held years ago, before he lost control of his magic and spiraled into madness, leaving
Selene an orphan. But when the competition turns cutthroat and a competitor steals Selene′s song, the chance to redeem her father's legacy begins to slip
through her fingers.
Until, in the depths of the opera house, she discovers a mysterious and beautiful man trapped within a mirror. He offers not only the magic of music, but
a darker sorcery of shadow, blood, and want. He can help Selene if she helps him in return—but his forbidden magic may not be worth the cost.
As the competition continues and mages are driven to ruin competing for the king′s favor, Selene must navigate betrayal, the return of childhood love,
and the price of ambition.

@nprofile…p25k Frozen hot chocolates are so very good. Every time I hear someone mention one I think about how someone at our local coffee shop asked for a frozen hot chocolate, hot. I'll try to refrain from saying this very same thing if you happen to 'mention it again. But we all need a laugh. Congratulations on your win.

@nprofile…p25k And see. your reply was exactly what I'm talking about. No matter what someone says. You automatically come back with some kind of life sucks. Or this is wrong. Or this already exists type of thing. Is your life really that bad that you have to be a Debbie Downer for absolutely everything in life? Do you have to contradict everything someone says? Maybe people really do want to be happy. Maybe not everyone wants to be down in the dumps. So what if a positive things sort of deal already exists. That doesn't at all mean that I can't try to lift up and cheer up people on my own timeline.
On that note. I'm going to go back to my good happy cheery and fun mood.

2026-02-19 03:12:04 UTC

Let's maybe try something a bit different here. I do this on FB. I've been seeing a lot of anger and over all crabbiness on Mastodon. How about we all try to think of 3 minimum positive things per day.
Here are mine.
Breakfast was awesome.
Having reliable every day people to check in with who make me happy.
My radio show was all kinds of fun today.
The sun has been out more frequently lately.
Audible sales.
Getting to see our best friends last week. Double dates are fun.
All the new books on BARD. I'm sure there's something for everyone.
Music. because no matter what we're going through. Some kind of song will help us feel better.
Jokes. Because we all need to laugh more. Even if it's for a second or two.

If I were to pre-order the Clicks Power keyboard is there the chance that they wouldn't get enough in pre-orders and I wouldn't get my product? Bob did have a look at the keyboard, and he said it does look pretty cool. I just don't want to make a gamble. But if I do the pre-order for $79 that isn't as bad as if I did the $139. And if for some reason the product didn't come out would I get my money back?

2026-01-27 19:29:02 UTC

I just got into the early adopter program for the Amazon Echo. I didn't think the first generation we've got in the basement would be able to handle that. So far I think the voice is flat sounding as far as levels. I also think she's unnecessarily cheerful. If this is as slow on the 3rd and 4th generation devices I'm going to go back to the normal Alexa.

@nprofile…p25k It's not. It's just in the Thrillers Section I think. But it's still annoying. They don't always categorize things how they should. I've seen Romances in Fiction. And even something more Fantasy oriented in Romance.

2026-01-21 20:52:54 UTC

@nprofile…p25k I mean. I guess. But I didn't categorize books like that. I just read them. I'd have put that in the kids section of the sale. Not the Thrillers section.

2026-01-21 20:31:32 UTC

I had to giggle. I was looking at the most recent Audible sale. It's a buy one get one free. I saw Bunnicula in the Thrillers section. Granted. I love that book so much. But it's not a Thriller. It's a kids book.

2026-01-20 23:17:44 UTC

Is there a way with the most recent version of JAWS 2026 where I can have Windows Alt C not bring up a manage call dialog? I don't have Teams. And Skype isn't a thing any more. Thanks in advance if anyone has an answer. I know it can be done. I just forgot how to do it.

I'm sitting here at the computer trying to figure out what all books i want to have on my SensePlayer for the trip to Connecticut on Tuesday. I'm not going to use wifi at the hotel or anything. But I'm like. Do I want Romance, Fantasy, Young Adult, Urban Fiction, LitRPG, Historical Fiction, Romantasy? So many choices. So little time. I have until late Monday night to decide. 128 gigs can give me many many books. So there is that. But being a mood reader can absolutely suck.

Is there a certain kind of Mini or Micro SD card I should either get or stay away from when it comes to the SensePlayer? I do have a 128 gig. But I'd not say no to 512 or even a TB. And what's the biggest card the player can hold? I won't even lie. I'm being book hungry and selfish at this point. But at least I admit it. There's not such a thing as too many books in my opinion.

Lady of Fire
The Wandering Inn, Book 17
By:
pirateaba
Narrated by:
Erin Bennett
Series:
The Wandering Inn,
Book 17
Length: 40 hrs and 6 mins
Release date: 11-25-25
The world is ablaze with great deeds and incredible people.
The King of Duels' battle with the King of Destruction is still ringing across the continent of Chandrar, but more adventures are taking place at sea with
Niers' students and on Izril's shores.
The Horns have arrived in Invrisil at last, and they will soon find out that Gold-rankers they might be, that doesn't guarantee instantaneous respect from
other high-level teams. However, a certain [Lady] has also begun her final journey... once again, attention and excitement swing back to The Wandering
Inn thanks to a certain magic door!
It is a time of fire and men with hats and fantastic moments—and dark ones too, sometimes. However, even the meagerest spark can turn into a roaring flame.
Book 17 of The Wandering Inn contains raiders, assassins, magical flames, hats, and... football? Or is it soccer?

2025-08-11 21:49:57 UTC

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus she noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The young man replied, Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are coming” and I grinned.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, “Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling”, and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, “William’s Big Stick Did the Trick”, and I could hardly contain myself.
But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident”, I just lost it.
“CASE DISMISSED !!”

I have QCast which still works, but hasn't been updated for literally years, and i can't get any of the free Luna applications to work on my computer. Thanks very much in advance if anyone has an answer.

I have sad news! Andrea Parsneau is stopping narration of the Wandering Inn! Burn out! I totally get it though.
I'm not sure who the new narrator is, but I'm also not surprised.
And to be a tiny bit funny, Bob told me she has blue hair.

Happy Easter, Sunday, 4/20. Whatever it is you do or don't do today I hope your day is filled with nothing but the best. We all deserve that every day though. Not just one day of the week.

I have all of my Audible library in mp3. Now I'm going to convert the entire thing to m4b. This feels like it'll take forever, but it'll be worth it in the end. And the conversions will be so much faster.

@nprofile…aqq5 The Magnificent Ruins
By Nayantara Roy
Lila De is on the verge of a career breakthrough when she gets a call from her mother in Kolkata, informing her that she’s inherited her family’s sprawling estate–so she returns home after a decade with no contact. Her extended family isn’t so easy to win over, and to make matters worse, Lila is caught between her old boyfriend and her occasional lover–her star author–who suddenly wants to define the relationship.
As Lila come to terms with both past and present, suppressed family secrets emerge, culminating in a shocking act of violence. Lila has no choice but to finally address her family’s inherited custom of keeping everything under the surface.
Perfect for fans of Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane and All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews, The Magnificent Ruins is an unforgettable novel about the millennial immigrant experience and the desire for belonging.

Last night I fell asleep to yesterday's Audible daily deal. I heard absolutely none of it. But when I woke up I learned there is a character named Gina in the book. I hope she ends up being awesome.

It sure is nice to wake up in a happy bouncy mood.

Is there an app for the iPhone that's accessible with VoiceOver where we can find out local news quickly? Bob, dad and I are all fine, but I was just curious.

Fragile Sanctuary by Catherine Cowles
Sparrow Falls Book 1
The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house.
He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall. And as so-called accidents start plaguing every part of my life, it’s Anson who steps in to keep me safe.
As he does, I can’t help but feel a flicker of heat. And it only takes a single moment for that spark to ignite into flames, engulfing us both. But Anson’s a man with secrets, and they have a price. When they’re revealed, neither of us will make it out unscathed…

@nprofile…aqq5 Here's the description for the book I was talking about.
The Program
By:
Suzanne Young
In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.
Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven
course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s
been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone - but so are their memories.
Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane
can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything.
But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The
Program is coming for them.
Includes a bonus interview with the author.
