I read ‘The Resting Place’ by Camilla Sten. It’s a great book set in Sweden. In fact, it’s translated from Swedish. This is definitely a psychological horror/thriller novel and kept me on the edge of my seat. It is set primarily in an isolated manor and it’s outbuildings which reminded me of Agatha Christie’s locked room stories. The discovery of self and family and all that entails was very enthralling.

I went with A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor and loved it! I feel like that series is Sci-Fi for people who don’t really get into Sci-Fi, and that’s perfect for me!

Thanks to the list above provided by Emily, I read Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel. I choose it because the audiobook was only ~4 hours long but it was really interesting so I'm glad to have listened!
