Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments I've only listened to two so far, but I'm quite sure there is no better narrator for Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series than Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. 5★s for his rendition of Amongst Our Weapons.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments I'd have to say that the fourth book in Anne Buist's Natalie King series, Locked Ward is probably her best yet. 5★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments Maggie O'Farrell's reputation with contemporary and historical fiction is well-established, but the second of her books for younger readers, The Boy Who Lost His Spark prove there are more strings to her literary bow. 5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3338 comments So many readers have loved Barbara Kingsolver's important novel, Demon Copperhead, that I'm sorry I didn't (probably because I'm already familiar with the subjects). But I'm glad she felt compelled to write it.

PattyMacDotComma | 3338 comments What an amazing woman! Helen Keller, deaf and blind from a childhood disease, travelled the world, inspiring leaders and the public. This children's picture book by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is all the better for the wonderful artwork by Sam Rudd.
Helen Keller by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara 5★ My review of Helen Keller with several illustrations

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10037 comments Rebecca Macauley is exactly the right person to narrate Kate Solly's wonderful, topical debut novel, Tuesday Evenings with the Copeton Craft Resistance. 5★s

All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham
An outlier this time. Found it too slow and rambling. Hardly anything thrilled me about this "thriller".
