After reading #10 in the series, I noticed that I hadn't read #9 - I have now accomplished that! Certainly a typical but fun read-great entertainment on the treadmill and exercise bike!! I was surprised when the actual murderer was identified. Jehtro the pig also continues to be a charming character.

It has been a while since I last read a Mike Bowditch book--it was fun to return to the adventures of this Maine game warden. Bowditch is a likeable character who tends to place himself in extremely dangerous situations [but he does survive them!!!]. I especially enjoy his interactions with Shadow - his high content wolf-dog and his ex-prisoner pal Billy Cronk, his wife, and their five kids-the Cronklets.

The newest book featuring Walt Longmire, long time sheriff of Absaroka County Wyoming, was highly entertaining. I especially liked the parallels to Dostoevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov'. The terrible wildfires were nerve-wracking, but interesting. Borax [the 16 hands tall john mule] played an instrumental role in the survival of the sheriff - he was one of my favorite characters. Fun read!!

Some nights ebd with a fall. E. Marsh's ended up at the bottom of a set of stairs she never used. A retired belovef teacher found dead in her basememt. Tragic accident or murder. Stolen silverware, marked bills, a hidden journal, and stolen research all come together as clues to solve this mystery.

I didn't think Prisoner of Azkaban could feel fresh after so many rereads and listens, but this full-cast edition completely exceeded my expectations. Every actor brings their character to life with distinct personalities and emotion, while the immersive sound design and music make it feel like you're right there at Hogwarts. This is the point in the series where the story takes on a darker, more mature tone, and the production captures that shift perfectly. The Dementors are genuinely unsettling, the Quidditch scenes are exhilarating, and the emotional moments hit even harder than I remembered. Rather than replacing the classic single-narrator versions, this feels like experiencing the story in an entirely new way. It's cinematic without ever losing the heart of the original book. Whether you're revisiting the series or introducing someone to Harry Potter for the first time, this full-cast edition is absolutely worth listening to. I can't wait for the next installment.

I enjoy this cozy series set in Holmes County Ohio Amish country. The animal characters are a hoot and very likeable [probably more so than the human ones]! I especially loved Jethro [the polka dotted pig] in his role as a mushroom hunter in the book. Of course, the murder victim dies by consuming a poisonous mushroom! I cannot fathom sleeping in Bailey's bed - she is the main human character and often finds both Puff her pet rabbit and Jethro sleeping with her. This was a fun summer read.

Crossed by Emily McIntire was a dark, emotional retelling that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The chemistry between the main characters was intense, and I enjoyed the mix of romance, suspense, and morally gray characters. The story had plenty of twists and strong emotional moments that made it hard to put down. If you like darker romance with complex characters and a unique take on a classic tale, this is definitely worth reading.
