I’ll never forgive the publisher for cancelling the release of the third book on audio in the UK.

This week I started The Midnight Train by Matt Haig. The audiobook is narrated by the actor James Norton and he has a very nice voice.

This week I started A Town Called Discovery by R.R. Haywood. Never read any other work by this author.

I wanted to go over for a fixed tariff but they want to change my monthly debit and I’m in credit so blow that for a game of soldiers.

My mistake I thought he was a coauthor. But yeah I found the third book rather unsatisfying.

Mythago Wood got me in to Fantasy, love that book, not so keen on its sequel though.

Vanamonde_Dpan @vanamonde.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I do wonder if it’s down to him needing another author to help him finish the book.

Vanamonde_Dpan @vanamonde.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This week I started A Trade of Blood by Robert Jackson Bennett, enjoying it so far.

A keyboard with an inbuilt trackpad? Worked for me.

This week I started Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Not really into best sellers but this was available at the library so decided to give it a go.

This week I’m hoping to finish The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty. The third book in ‘Shadow of Leviathan’ series is on my TBR pile.

Vanamonde_Dpan @vanamonde.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I liked that one, got to admit I bought it because the protagonist was named after a famous cosmonaut but the book did not disappoint.

A book I started and never finished as I didn’t like reading about the dog like creatures getting hurt.

Vanamonde_Dpan @vanamonde.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Bloody hell forgot it was Sunday, that’s what retirement does to your sense of time. Anyway, this week I started The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty.

An oldie but a goodie. Still got my 1980 edition.

The Cover of The Sands of Mars by Arthur C Clarke. It depicts a a tracked buggy climbing out of a crater on Mars.

Still reading Butter by Asako Yuzuki. Not really my thing but I’m enjoying it enough to get in the queue by reserving another book by the same author at my local library.

Was surprised how much I remember about Dan Dare, a game I’ve not played in decades 😱

I’m curious, if a publisher decides not to release the audio version of book 3 in a series in a specific region (like the UK) do they inform the author?

Vanamonde_Dpan @vanamonde.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Always thought the extensive use of footnotes in TP’s early DW books was taking a swipe at Jack Vance’s fantasy books.

Near the end of In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune, hope to finish it today.

Yeah I didn’t notice that till I rewatched the film in the 21st century.

Look, I can understand not releasing a second book in a series on audio if the first book did not do well, but releasing two and not the third, why? FFS why? Even worse when the narration has already been done for the US release. /gnashes teeth.
