Carolyn | 9840 comments Heal the Beasts A Jaunt Through the Curious History of the Veterinary Arts by Philipp Schott Heal the Beasts: A Jaunt Through the Curious History of the Veterinary Arts by Philipp Schott is an enjoyable trip through the ages, illustrating the development of veterinary practices. Written in an informal, conversational style with a touch of humour.

Not sure why it shows 3x, Brenda, I did read the print and listen to the audio.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments Marianne Cronin's second novel, Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love is the best feel-good novel I've read all year, and the audio narration is perfect. 5★s

Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Such a beautiful book, which shouldn't be a surprise considering who the author is. Much recommended despite the dragged ending.

Carolyn | 9840 comments I listened to the audiobook of The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline. It was an okay mystery with lots of wild happenings that were eventually explained at the end. Not the best book I've read/heard from this author. The setting in Italy was well done.

Women of Note by M.J. Buckman
My bad July run continues with this disaster of a read. It had such potential! But the writing and editing did no favours to the book.
