Catching recommendations from Goodreads and good buddies, thought it might be time to share some of the wealth. Do you like historical fiction, literary fiction, police procedurals, or perhaps a memoir? Here are audiobooks in the queue from my library with an eye of what might look good to you also. (Book links are to Amazon-US.)
On My Audiobook Shelf
Just Finished:
Lorne by Susan Morrison (scheduled for my review on June 18 – Editors’ pick Best Biographies and Memoirs)
Currently listening to:
Buckeye by Patrick Ryan (I also listed this in February then ran out of time. Editors’ pick Best Books of 2025)
Up Next:
The Keeper by Tana French (Editors’ pick Best Books of the Year So Far 2026)
Currently on library hold:
Wait time on these holds is anywhere from 2 weeks to 16 weeks and they represent a few different genres, including two of my favorites, historical and crime fiction.
-
Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall (Editors’ pick Best Books of the Year 2025 and a Reese’s Book Club pick.) 1st in line
-
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke – 4 weeks (second try on this one, too)
-
Whistler by Ann Patchett – 6 weeks
-
The Final Target by Nora Roberts – 8 weeks
I’d be willing to bet you’ve read at least one of these! I can’t vouch for those on my hold list, but a wait of two months is down from four and I can’t wait to get into them. Which one have you already read or listened to? Did one of these catch your attention? So what did you think?

I loved Broken Country. It wasn’t what I had expected, but it was excellent. Final Target is romantic suspense and I also loved it, but I know you aren’t necessarily a fan of romance, Virginia.

no, not usually. guess it depends on the context and how deeply it gets into the sexual side of it. i just finished yesteryear and my head is still swimming. no clue how i’m going to review it. have you?

I have it, but haven’t read it yet. Everyone seems to think different thoughts, so I’ve been putting it off.

well, i’m confused. i thought i was following it (audiobook), but it definitely went into the atmosphere somewhere and i missed it. i’d love to know what you think.
