Podcast. Imagined Life by Wondery

This has by far been my favorite podcast, and it continues to surprise me in the best ways. I truly hope Wondery keeps this podcast coming for many, many episodes.

Get to Know Who You Think You Know

The model of this podcast is that you, the listener, are the main character in a story. After much research, an episode is written to put you in the place of someone you likely know, or at least have heard the name or heard part of the famous story.

You learn all about little known, but very relevant stories of the childhood, adolescence, and adulthood of this person. Each episode focuses on the life, struggles, and triumphs of one person. Along the path of the podcasts, clues are given about who "you" are, and there is so much care taken into making sure the clues are not too obvious.

I highly recommend these podcasts for the entertainment, mystery, and education about another's life. Check out the podcast: Imagined Life by Wondery.

David Wellington

I'm currently hooked on the author David Wellington. The book I'm reading now is "23 Hours" which follows a vampire hunter/cop, Caxton, after she transforms from cop to inmate after being charged with a kidnapping that ultimately lead her to the vampire she was after.

I bought my first adventure with Mr. Wellington years ago; while looking through medical nonfiction at a large bookstore chain, I found "Monster Island" among them... Obviously not nonfiction, though interesting enough to pull my attention.

Since moving I haven't read much, though recently gained a library card and have been finding time among classes, studying, and job applications to chew through other books by Wellington, including Monster Nation, Monster Planet, and 99 Coffins. So far Monster Nation and 23 Hours are my favorite, but I'm not done yet and I hope David Wellington stays ahead of me with his writing.

Monster Island, Monster Nation, and Monster Planet are all amazing books. The characters and story lines are all very well developed and new theories are applied to explain monsters in a whole new way. I really appreciate this author. Check out his books to go on your own adventure with him!
