Mid-May audiobook snapshot. Haven‘t read Michael Connelly in years - guess I‘m playing catch-up!

Ruthiella Connelly had a huge back catalogue! Lots to read if you are so inclined. 2w

Why, whyyyyyy does Libby never have the complete audio series? Whyyyyyyyy?

4.5⭐️ and not so patiently waiting for books 2&3 but will probably just buy on Apple Books and will have to get all 4 because - series, right? Anyone else?? 😂

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Always worth reaching out to the library to see if they can purchase it 😊 digital rights expire or it might not have been available the last time the series was reviewed… see if there is an ask the librarian link or suggest a purchase option (just make sure you specify that you want an e audiobook) on their website. 3w

After a long absence, this was the perfect re-entry into the world of Harry Bosch. And found myself a new character to love, too, in Renee Ballard.

Ohhhhh, this was so close to soooo good. I hated the ending!

Thank you @Soubhiville and the #AuthorAMonth readers for introducing me to Leigh Bardugo!

Smart and a little sassy. Dark subjects, dark magic, dark humor. A fun and fast-paced read.

For me, the blurb was far more compelling than the story itself. The audio was ok (read by the author) but I feel like I would have gotten a better sense of time and expression if I‘d read this in print.

One of my favorites by Erik Larson. As always well-researched and well-written and Will Patton‘s narration evokes a mental movie-reel. Crazy historical parallels and ahhhh Easter Egg references.

What Lies in the Woods | Kate Alice Marshall

I am 3 minutes into an 11 hour audio and already I can tell it‘s going to be hard to focus on the story when the intonations and inflections of the narrator are driving me nuts. Anyone else ever feel that way?

CoverToCoverGirl I felt that way about the narration of Fourth Wing, after 3+ hours I couldn‘t take it any longer. However it really is a very rare occurrence for me to dislike a narration most are done extremely well. 4mo

Well, that was fun. I loved book 1, have book 2 on hold, and am happy there are 6 more in the series to look forward to.

Not overwhelmingly technical and a completely relatable AI protagonist. Witty and thoughtful. The novella format keeps the narrative engaging.

Worth a try even if you don‘t think Sci-fi is your thing.
