You can count on Alexander McCall Smith to entertain even as he has his characters philosophising. 5★s for The Conditions of Unconditional Lovehttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

While parts of The Desk from Hoboken were interesting, further books in the Genealogy Mystery series by M.L. Condike won’t be on my TBR. 3★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I am firmly on the None of This Is True bandwagon! It was an exceptional audiobook experience.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I’ve been mia for a while, hoping this latest (change of genre for me) will lift me out of a reading slump…so far so good! 🤞
The Guard by N.L. Westaway

Really enjoying this! (In spite of typos and editing problems!) Already onto book two.

The Story Collector by Evie Woods
I had liked ‘The Lost Bookshop’ by this author, but this book was mostly a dud.

Pulitzer-winner Elizabeth Strout has asked her much-loved characters to Tell Me Everything, and some of them open up. I reckon she should add I'm listening! because that's why they're talking. Wonderful book. Love it, of course.
My review of Tell Me Everything!

Book #2 in The Guard series.
The Unseen By N.L. Westaway
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
3⭐️s Though equally as good as book #1, disappointingly this one suffers the same lack of necessary editing. I have deducted two ⭐️s for this alone.

I generally prefer reading to listening, but audio done well can add a lot to a story. Darkness Visible by Arvind Ethan David is like a full-blown radio play, part of Audible's Earworm series of short stories. Very entertaining.
My review of Darkness Visible
The Fog by AA Brooke Hardwick is a dark and gritty psychological suspense set in a writers' retreat on a remote and rugged island off the Irish coastreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Beyond Ivy Walls by Rachel Fordham
A charming old-world clean romance. I don't often pick up romance books, but make an exception for a few authors. Rachel Fordham is one of them.

⭐⭐⭐.8 for
Interpretations of Love by Jane Campbell https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Both plot and cast of characters will remain with me for a long time to come and I will probably revise my rating upwards when I have thought more about it. 💖📚

New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb #33 in her 'In Death' series takes Eve back to the city of her childhood trauma to catch a dangerous paedophile.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer
While this is getting mixed reviews, it actually worked pretty well for me. Don't expect a faithful Narnia retelling. Great for portal fantasy lovers.
