Enjoyed this too but doesn’t it count as fantasy?

boring story and tom needs to stick to acting. His inflections were annoying


I love Ann Patchett but not sure she's good for someone in a reading rut since not too much happens (unless you're into family sagas). Try These Precious Days from Ann Patchett instead, short stories and some that I really loved.

I love this author/narrator combo — more that I like the book itself.

Also, if you haven’t read Educated yet, it’s great on audio!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by the same author was also a good audiobook.

I have started and stopped:
Book Lovers
Remarkably Bright Creatures

I like popular fiction, but not fantasy. No WW2, child endangerment, trauma or rape.

Recent favorites include
lessons in chemistry (amazing!!!!)
Rules of civility

Thank you!
