  1. Cottage By the Sea D. Macomber. 4/5
  2. Elementary, She Read #1 Vicki Delany 4/5

I read another one…but forgot to write it down. It was about having poise, style and grace. I laughed my way thru it as I read the simple instructions to brush my teeth and apply products if I was stinky. Also said if I was a small framed woman not to wear a big hat or I would look like a lamp. lol…it didn’t say much about us fuller figured women…except we need to loose weight. It was an older book.

22: Death on the Cherwell by Mavis Doriel Hay. Mystery set on 1920s Oxford. 4/5

  1. Cemetery Road…Greg Iles (Audio) Mystery set in present day small town Mississippi. 3.5/5

This had so much potential, but 23 hours is a very long listen with unlikable characters.

23: The Day Watch by Sergei Lukyanneko. Russian dark fantasy, sequel to Night Watch. 3/5

  1. First Evidence…Ken Goddard (Audio) Mystery 3/5
  1. But Not Forgotten…BJ Bourg Mystery 4.5/5

  2. The Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah
  3. Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird
  4. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy.

  6. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
  7. Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance
  8. THE YARN OF THE MITTEN by R.L. Jessop. An OK historical fiction story of early Michigan pioneers. Sadly, it is poorly written AND poorly edited.
    There is some interesting history in it not only about the beginnings of Michigan State but about the Civil War.
  9. I am Margaret by Corina Turner—Youth, dystopian fiction.
  10. Private London by James Patterson
