With each Timothy Blake book, I wonder if Jack Heath can maintain his high standard. Headcase proves he can. Every bit/e of this book is hilarious and hugely entertaining. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Nic English does a superb job of narrating the second book in Greg Woodland's Mick Goodenough series, The Carnival is Over. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

For those who enjoy well researched historical narrative non-fiction, this is an entertaining account of an extraordinary Icelandic woman and the times she lived in (19th century).

Flora Montgomery's narration of Faith Hogan's lovely novel, The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club, is excellent. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Now Is Not the Time to Panic is my first book by Kevin Wilson, and I can see what the fuss is about. 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I really enjoyed Andrew Sean Greer's sequel to his first Arthur Less novel, Less Is Lost. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If it weren't for challenges, I might never have stumbled across this amazing story, just because I needed a UOusman Umar's memoir North to Paradise: My Journey Along the World's Most Dangerous Migrant Route, is unimagineable. It's amazing he survived his trek through Africa as a kid. Compelling story! (Lovely guy, too.)
4.5~5★ My review of North to Paradise
Robert Petkoff is the perfect narrator for Andrew Sean Greer's sequel to the first Arthur Less novel, Less Is Lost. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Having read And Then She Vanished, I was interested to see that Nick Jones originally wrote it in instalments as The Unexpected Gift of Joseph Bridgeman, and I happened to have it on kindle, so I compared them. I much prefer the edited version. 4★s for the full version.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds
Very much in the minority with my opinion on this one. But simply couldn't read more than a few pages without rolling my eyes.

Not for everyone, but the moody Nordic thriller
Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Høeg makes it to my list of top 10 books of all time. 5★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The author is often not the best person to read the audio of their work, but in the case of The Uncommon Reader, Alan Bennett is exactly the right person. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
