Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10022 comments With two less-than-stellar current reads, I'm pleased that my audio book, a reread of What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama, is as delightful as I remember. 5★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10022 comments While I'm clearly of the wrong vintage for No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood, it does reinforce for me that a nomination for the Man Booker Prize or the Womens' Prize for Fiction is no guarantee of a great read. 1.5★s from this Boomer.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 758 comments Finally caught up with two (very different) classics and enjoyed both!

1. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Can't believe I waited so long to read this!

2. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
Poetry isn't really my cup of tea, but this one worked excellently because I heard it.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 758 comments The Arsenic Eater's Wife by Tonya Mitchell
The Arsenic Eater's Wife by Tonya Mitchell
A historical fiction based on an actual 1890s case where a woman was arrested for killing her husband. A compelling work, despite a slightly OTT finish.
