KImberly Farr has narrated the first two audiobooks of Elizabeth Strout's Amgash series, so is the perfect choice for the third, Oh William!.5★s

Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnsonhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finally! I have met Sebastian St. Cyr! His first adventure, in What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris, is an atmospheric murder mystery in 19th century England. 
4.5★ Link to my review of What Angels Fear
What a fantastic cover and what an odd book. The 1800s were full of fortune-hunters, in all senses of the word, all over the world. Fortune by Lenny Bartulin is wild historical fiction.

The Girl from Bletchley Park by Kathleen McGurl and my review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I haven't dipped much into the retelling-of-classic-fairytales genre, but Gilded confirms for me that Marissa Meyer is a master of the genre, and I hope we don't have to wait too long for #2 in this series.5 big ★s

4.5 stars for this contemporary/domestic drama/ romance by an Aussie Author
The Jam Queens by Josephine MoonMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Whether his setting is in present day London, Edinburgh, Botswana or pre-war Ceylon, Alexander McCall Smith's grasp of people and relationships is superb. The Pavilion in the Clouds: A new stand-alone novel is insightful, sometimes poignant and often humorous, always a delight to read. David Rintoul narrates the audio version.5★s

Wild Place by AA Christian White will satisfy his fans, but will probably dim fairly quickly in my memory.

I really enjoyed Matt Haig's contribution to the vampire genre (so NOT Twilight!), The Radleys, and Mark Meadows does an excellent narration.5★s

Here are my most recent reviews:Firstly, my (illustrated) review of The Fossil Hunter by Tea Cooper AA, an intriguing dual-timeline historical mystery.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Secondly, my rather belated review of The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, a twisty psychological thriller with a literary backdrop.

I enjoy journals and diaries and historical mysteries, so I was hopeful about The Secrets of Elloughton Park by Stephen Taylor. I liked it!
4★ Link to my Elloughton Park review
Practice reading English with a good story! Canadian author Louise Penny wrote The Hangman for a Canadian literacy project. This short novella is #6.5 in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, written in simpler language but still with our favourite characters in Three Pines. It's an excellent choice for adults learning to read and/or learning English. Great project!
