I am in one of my gluts of everything coming off hold at once!

I was able to put The Girls in the Stilt House on my to be read list. The other wasn't available as audio for me.

I just finished my first Frieda McFadden book -- The Tenant. I thought it was a pretty well done and interesting thriller, but I had the basic complaint that I didn't really like anybody and didn't really care about who killed who or why... At the same time, it was a good read (other than that). Not quite the same, I don't mind books from various points of view, but sometimes (especially as a woman) I'm wondering where I am in the book. Sometimes (mostly) it doesn't bother me but sometimes nit-picks at my brain a bit.

I enjoyed Mike Campbell's autobiography, Heartbreaker, read by himself. Mike is probably better known as Tom Petty's lead guitarist. Tom and the Heartbreakers were a big part of my teen/20s, I was an American Girl and was able to see the band several times.

Sometimes my books come as themes... I enjoyed When the Tides Held the Moon. It its a point of view not necessarily my own and sadly, the audio book didn't come with a pdf of illustrations, but I was drawn into the character and story.

Continuing the theme, just off hold now is A Letter to the Luminous Deep, another underwater fantasy.

Also just off hold (not to theme) is The Tree Collectors by Amy Stewart. Amy has a couple of A-Z?? type books and also the Miss Kopp books which I enjoy greatly as light reads.
