 Shake Out the Ghosts by Al Hess The premise of S hake Out the Ghosts was very interesting and I'll keep this review spoiler free. It's a hodgepodge of a few different genres and overall that works very well. There are darker themes in this book so I would advise caution but they are well handled. The two central characters are likeable and the story progresses well but at times it can get a little overwhelming but it is well worth a read. Thanks to the publisher, the author, and to Netgalley for this ARC.

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee An Epically Short History of Our Kings and Queens. This was a fun audiobook.  Charlie Higson is an engaging and funny narrator. The book is interesting although short but we knew that from the title. The chronological order to the recounting makes sense and it helps to keep track of who we are encountering. It appeals to those of us who grew up watching Horrible Histories. Thanks to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ALC. 

  The Library at the Edge of the Wood Part of the Cozy Cottage Series  by Liz Delton Hello you, I'm back with more reviews and I start today with an audiobook called  The Library at the Edge of the Wood and its part of the Cozy Cottage Series  by Liz Delton . I really enjoyed this. It's such a cosy fantasy tale.  Everson's such a lovely character. If you like found family stories as I do then you should give this a listen. The author has created such a warm and welcoming world that feels vivid and inviting. The narrator is so good too, really plays the characters well and captures their voices.  Thank you to the publisher, the author, and  NetGalley as always  fo r this ALC. 

Canon by Paige Lewis This was on of those books where I did not know what to expect. Its a wild ride, our focus is on Yara and Adreana as they go after the bad guys. The formatting of the books is interesting as it takes the story and separates it giving us different perspectives. It was a fairly quick read and overall very enjoyable. It has moments of absolute absurdity and moments that leave us questioning things. The overall message of the book can feel a little too hammered home at times but its an interesting one.  Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley as always for this ARC.  

How to Fake It in Society by KJ Charles   How to Fake It in Society by KJ Charles  I really enjoyed this book. In particular I loved the dialogue in this book. I have read a few KJ Charles's books and I really enjoyed this one I really liked the interplay between Nico and Titus and there is a great plot amongst all that romance. Charles writes settings incredibly well and this book is humorous with some angst and great characters. The book is lovely and cosy while still being nicely paced. I think it would be a great introduction to KJ Charles's works and I highly recommend this queer story.  Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley as always for this ARC. 

 Hello you! More books to review today and I am beginning with an audiobook.  The Trial of Leopold & Loeb: Dickie & Babe   by Ben Devlin   This was not a story I was remotely familiar with and this audiobook piqued my interest as I am a fan of true crime podcasts. This was really good, such a dramatic story told really well. This is a multi voice cast acted audiobook and everyone feels engaging but occasionally it can feel a little too over the top but overall its an interesting true crime told really well and we feel like we are in the jury box listening to the evidence. .  Thank you to the cast, the writers, publisher and as always to NetGalley for the ARC.
