Castles in Their Bones by Laura Sebastian: The First Step Is Marriage
I’ve only reviewed one book by Laura Sebastian, but I’ve read all their work. I’ve enjoyed everything I read. My favorite is Half Sick of Shadows, a reimagining of the King Arthur story. If you want to see my review for Into the Glades, check it out here. Into the Glades by Laura Sebastian: Magical…

Audio Description of The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On
Two weeks ago, I critiqued the audio description of Perfect Match. I decided to stick with the Lacheys again for this and torture myself by watching The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Yes, I enjoy trash TV, but, honestly, I would have preferred to watch this without audio description. It would have been more bearable.…

Original Audio Description of Argentina 1985
As promised, here’s my critique for the Latin American audio description of Argentina 1985. I was able to find it on Audio Vault. You’ll find that I had a very different experience with this one.

Bared to You by Sylvia Day: A Better Fifty Shades of Grey
I’ve been meaning to read the Crossfire series for some time, but I decided to pick it up this year because a friend wanted me to read it. I always complain to her that most sex scenes are boring to me. They’re written in a way that isn’t interesting to me. It’s hard to please…

Audio Description of Perfect Match
Another audio description by International Digital Center. After watching Harry and Meghan, I admit I had high expectations when the end credits of the first episode ran, despite my issues. Besides my enjoyment of trash TV, I excitedly continued the show specifically for the audio description. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio…

I’m Trying Serial Publishing Again
If you recall, there was a time when I was publishing Daughter of Death chapter by chapter. However, I deleted the chapters and published the entire story. I didn’t feel like it worked. Daughter of Death is a short story, so the chapter by chapter format didn’t feel right for publishing here. I currently have…

Spanish Audio Description of Argentina 1985
Before I begin, I should mention that this critique isn’t going to be like the others. The audio descriptions I tend to consume are in English. I’ve consumed a few in Spanish, but that’s no more than four counting this movie. I won’t lie. I’m a little nervous critiquing it because I have issues with…

Audio Description of Harry and Meghan
I watched this documentary series before I read Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. While the documentary series was interesting, this audio description is my favorite to critique. It’s also the most enjoyable to listen to so far. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. This…
