Ooo! Very nice Brenda! I just finished her book
Hush, Little Bird in audio format last night and loved it. I posted my review this morning. It was my first by her and I was just looking through her others on Audible a few minutes ago when I caught your post! Let us all know how you like it. It's not easy to find it in book format but I can get it with my Audible credit which is even better! I wonder if Susan Stafford will narrate it.? =o)

in the mail today from Text:The Last Garden
Some Tests and
Anaesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and The Mystery of Consciousness
then at Salvos The Lightkeeper's Wife for $3

and
Dear Banjo by Sasha Wasley (debut AA) - unexpected this one!
Lucky you Brenda, can't wait for Amber and Alice which is already reserved from the library and will most likely take ages and Dear Banjo sounds good too.....I miss Penguin/Random House being on Netgalley🙁
Mod
So do I! Especially when I was auto-approved by Random House! But at least I get some "real" books from them now and then :)

Little Owl's Night by Divya Srinivasan 
The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home my first library ebook I'm finding it hard to get my reading life back.
My brain keeps frustratingly running off the rails. Today I'm going to sit down and READ and do not do anything else! That's the plan anyway. It's just 8:00 am here and I'm heading off to my coffee pot! =o)
Finished a whole book!
Little Owl's Night by Divya Srinivasan ★★★★★It's about an Owl and it's only 32 pages! What's not to love?!
