"This definitely works better if read. The storyline is quite intricate. I doubt I too would have enjoyed it much on audio.
Age 16 by Rosena Fung
A good choice for those who enjoy OwnVoices coming-of-age graphic novels.

Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
Not sure if I would have liked this had I actually read it, but the audiobook made the experience fun.

The Coast Road: A Novel by Alan Murrin
Loved this poignant literary fiction focussed on women who couldn't get out of their marriages in the 1990s thanks to Ireland not allowing divorce.

The Fiction Writer by Jillian Cantor
A poorly crafted ode to the classic 'Rebecca'. You are better off reading the original.

The House in the Water by Victoria Darke
Great setting, dull characters, great historical research, dull(ish) plot.

Aya and the Star Chaser by Radiya Hafiza
Had high expectations from this because of the title, the cover, and the setting. But it was a disappointment on many levels.

Green Frog by Gina Chung
One of the best short story collections I have read so far this year. Great for speculative fiction lovers.

A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans
If you want something light and relaxing while still being deep enough, read this series!

Goyhood: A Novel by Reuven Fenton
This didn't work much for me, but I still think it will work for the right reader.

Operation: Happy by Jenni L. Walsh
A middle grade historical fiction based on a memoir. Contains some traumatic incidents that might be too much for sensitive children. A good option, otherwise.

Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 - The Pillars of Civilization, a graphic novel adaptation of the second section of 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari
Great graphics, decent information, highly lopsided.

The Lore Olympus graphic novel series is highly rated, but I couldn't stand the romanticisation of the toxic relationships. Very much the outlier on this one. I read the first two books and then abandoned the series. Book 1: Lore Olympus, Vol. 1

Book 2: Lore Olympus: Volume Two

Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure: Short Stories by Nancy Burke
Didn't work exceptionally well for me but it had its plus points.

Small Hours by Bobby Palmer
Not as fabulous as his debut novel, but still a wonderful read. Great for literary fiction and magical realism readers.

One Tuesday, Early by Annalisa Crawford
If you like atypical literary fiction and second person povs, this is a good one to try.

The Fells by Cath Staincliffe
A cold case procedural with some interesting novelties and a believable ending.

The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up by Laura Pearson
Quite good, but I expected more. Not a light story, unlike what the cover suggests.

Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh
My very first Steve Cavanagh proved to be an entertaining one!

Peacocks of Instagram: Stories by Deepa Rajagopalan
An interesting collection of short stories about Indians in Canada. Loved the writing.
