Castle in the Air by Diana Wynn Jones 4/5 stars (my review here)
The Bette Davis Club by Jane Lotter 4/5 stars (my review here)
A Monstrous Regiment of Women by Laurie R. King 3/5 stars
This second in the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series started off so slowly that I nearly abandoned it. Once it picked up, in the second half, it was a good tale. Like the first, it reads a bit like fan-fiction, but then don't we all want to be Holmes' MarySue?
Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles 2/5 stars (my review here)
Did Not Finish:
The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra by Vaseem Khan
I listened to over half of this mystery, and it was a good book up to that point. However, it continually hit three emotional triggers for me and I just couldn't comfortably listen to it. I would recommend it to people who love books set in today's India, and that don't get emotional over animals.
