The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

 Audio.  9 hours.

Read by Carrie Mulligan.

Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices...

Nora is depressed and takes an overdose of pills, but instead of dying, she finds herself in a library with all the books of the lives she could have lived had she made other choices.  The librarian gives Nora the chance to live as many of those lives as she wants until she finds one she wants to stay in.

5 stars.

Never Flinch by Stephen King

 Audio.  14.5 hours.

Read by Jessie Mueller.

P.I. Holly Gibney is back, this time acting as a bodyguard to a women's rights activist.  On the side, she's helping her detective friend, Izzy, work a serial killer case.

No supernatural stuff in this one, just plain old human evil.

4 stars.

Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding

 Picked this to fulfill a Goodreads challenge even though I'm pretty sure I read it once upon a time.

Bridget is a 30-something single woman navigating life.

This felt pretty dated.  I probably enjoyed it more when I was younger.

2.5 stars.

Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden

Advice columnist begins a vigilante spree.

3.5 stars. 

The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean

 Missing for over two years, teenager Ellie Black reappears in the Washington woods, but cannot, or will not, say where she's been.

4.5 stars.

Gone Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon

 Disgraced and stripped of her medical license, Maggie McCabe, grieving the murder of her husband, agrees to fly to Russia to perform surgery on an oligarch and his mistress.

4 stars.

King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby

 A mother's disappearance has lasting effects on a family.  When the youngest child gets involved with drug dealers, his older brother must return home to Virginia from his prosperous life in Atlanta.  

I was surprised at how unflatteringly Black characters are portrayed by this Black author: drug dealing, drug using, adultery, murder, securities fraud.  

4 stars.
