First time reading this author. Lots of twists and turns!

Sherri,

So glad you found a new-to-you author! I love when that happens. It opens up so many more books to read.

Hi Cheryl, one of my absolute favorite things about reading is discovering new authors. My "to be read" pile wishes I would just read what I have waiting, but it just keeps getting bigger. LOL

This author is definitely one to try if you like twisty novels full of suspense. :)

Dagny, how was Mind Games? Was it an enjoyable story and well narrated?

27. Plymouth Undercover by Pamela M. Kelley 3/5

Thanks for the review Dagny. it always nice to hear others ideas on audiobooks. Though, to be honest, I just want to read everything and anything I don't have time to read;)

Moving nicely on to Level 4: Bibliophile: 50-100 (strenuous) 😊

There are so many wonderful tales, authors and narrators in this list. So, so, so many. Please feel free to ask me about anything. Unforunately, when I don't post for a while (like a whole month), I don't always take the time the way I should when I post these updates.

29. Before He Kills Again by Margaret Murphy 3/5

Lorraine, this series is unfamiliar to me. I'm assuming since you read 4 that they were good. Is there anything similar? How's the narrator?

Yes, it was a good solid 3* science fiction apocalypse type story, very well narrated and I’ll be looking for the next in the series 😊

Dagny wrote: "You're on a roll with that series, Lorraine!"

It’s good fun!

Thanks Lorraine for your thoughts. I'm trying to expand a bit outside my comfort zone with new genres and authors. And a good narrator definitely makes or breaks an audio book. I'll check and see what's available at my library.

30. Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens 4/5

31. Snow Day by Julie Lipson 3/5

Amazing Dagny! I have not even done 5 this year. Definitely something I need to work on in 2023.

Dagny wrote: "Starting the season appropriately, Sherri!"

Thank you! I try to devote most if not all of my reading in December to Christmas holiday themes to boost my holiday spirit. :)

35. Three Bells, Two Bows and One Brother's Best Friend by Willa Nash 3/5

Looks like I will be finishing out this year at a level 3 Bookworm. Just over half of my total reading was audio books, so I'm thankful for this format, otherwise my reading would be drastically less.
