Audiobook - Ruby-Fruit Jungle - Rita Mae Brown

I came to this (audio)book in a round-about way. The lovely folks at goodreads sent me a free giveaway copy of one of the later Mrs. Murphy Mysteries. Now I'm reading mysteries with a cat as a co-author. Such is life. This is not a cat mystery

Audiobook - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Hunger Games #0) - Suzanne Collins

Watching the movie before reading the book is a sacrilegious offence, and one I erroneously committed with this title. Luckily for me, both the movie and the book are fabulous. This is the prequel to the original hunger games and follows Coriolanus Snow (yes, evil President Snow) as a relatable

Audiobook - A Darker Shade of Magic - V.E. Schwab

This was great. After my last brush with fantasy and SJM this was a breath of fresh air. A fantastically described and fascinating world. Non-problematic main characters. Beautiful writing that I never gave me an urge to get out my green correcting pen (we don't use red these
