For this one I will be reading Impossible Monsters: Dinosaurs, Darwin, and the Battle Between Science and Religion by Michael Taylor.The paperback is being released in May.
Listened to the audiobook of "At The Bertram Hotel". What a complex plot. I was totally absorbed by the book.

I'm stuck between Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee or Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. I own the first already but the preview from the film for the second was intriguing, and I like reading the book before I watch the movie version. It's usually better in most cases.
For this prompt I read Worry by Alexandra Tanner! It was an interesting modern-day slice of life book, and an easy read.
The Best Girls
My first set of audio books from the Amazon Original Stories collection.
Some are good some are so so.
I have been reading The Chronicles of Narnia and I knew that one had to be used for this prompt. I am using The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis.
“Missing Since Monday” by Ann M Martin is a good mystery about the kidnapping of a 4 year old. This is a book for younger readers.
Victoria Christopher Murray...Stretching it somewhat but Harlem Rhapsody both of her last names could be first names.
I read James by Percival Everett. This is my favorite prompt-match so far. Both my husband and first grandchild are included here.
I read Mr Smith to You: A novel based on the true story of Australian jockey Bill Smith – a life lived in secret by Kerry Anne Taylor for this topic (Read July 15th; 4*)
I read “Shelved Under Murder” by Victoria GilbertLight read amongst some more challenging books was welcome.
