Recommended audiobooks:
The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson
Narrated by Laura Horowitz and Anthony Palmini
Audiobook published August 18, 2026
Libby app blurb: "The breakout standalone dark enemies to lovers romantasy about a woman whose lips are deadly poison...until she meets the one man who can survive her kiss."
My two cents: An excellent romp, with magic and angst, nasty parents, and each side of the conflict is sure the others are bad, bad people. Vampires too! Adult.
All books narrated by Polly Lee

Goodreads blurb: "Crime novels set in North Yorkshire, England feature D.I. Drew Haskell teaming up with criminal profiler Harriet Quinn."
My two cents: Drew and Harriet have a past, making them adversaries in private, but a good team when solving murders. Their connection evolves with each book. I found this series years ago, but only the first three books were available at my library, until recently when more have come online. Waiting impatiently! Oh yeah, beware: gruesome.
Born to Be Hanged: The Epic Story of the Gentlemen Pirates Who Raided the South Seas, Rescued a Princess, and Stole a Fortune by Keith Thomson
Narrated by Feodor Chin
Audiobook published May 10, 2022
Libby blurb: "Discover the thrilling account of the roguish acts of the first pirates to raid the Pacific in a crusade that ended in a sensational trial back in England."
My two cents: Non-fiction - Sailing any ocean back in 1680 was dangerous, let alone doing it as pirates! A must-read if you are into the history of seafarers, plus the Admiralty's amazing laissez-faire attitude years later is remarkable. We've got Captain Henry Morgan, treks into Panama with fighting against the indigenous folk, The Spanish, and even The English. A princess is saved!
So enjoy seeing the kitties. When I'm riding shotgun I'm always spending my time looking out the window seeing if there's any cats on people's porches are looking out the windows. I read a lot but I'll never catch up with you, lol.
