Craven Manor (by Darcy Coates)
I’m a huge fan of Amazon’s Prime Reading program. I can borrow up to 10 books at a time and keep them for as long as I want. The selection of ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks changes regularly, but when I add something to my library…
Where the Crawdads Sing (by Delia Owens)
This book has been collecting dust on my bookshelf for ages. I bought my copy of Where the Crawdads Sing when I went to an author event with Delia Owens at my local independent bookstore, Joseph-Beth, back in 2019.

I’m quickly becoming a fan of Dervla McTiernan. The Roommate is the second novella I’ve read that is a prequel to her Cormac Reilly series. I’ve also read the first book in the series, The Ruin. Her books are…
The Cuckoo’s Cry (by Caroline Overington)
Another Audible Original! I enjoyed The Cuckoo’s Cry by Caroline Overington. Set in Australia at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, Don Barlow lives in an idyllic beachside cottage. Now widowed…
