@TheBookMaven Portrait of a Thief, Grace D. Li. 5 loosely connected college-aged folk are hired by a Chinese firm to “steal” five Zodiac heads from Western museums. They must overcome security & travel obstacles, but most of all differences in personality. Interesting, lots on Chinese culture

#AmReading The Scorpion’s Tail, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It’s the second full book in the Nora Kelly series, well more like 3rd as book 0 came out long ago. I admit, didn’t think much of it, but it’s picked up in the last quarter. I do like these authors

@justjanuary @audible_com I think the first book I ever got from there was Airframe, by Michael Crichton. Back in my glory college days. The app says that came out in February of 01. In those days blind folk had very few titles we could access. Thanks for contributing to the change!

@TheBookMaven Thank You For Listening, Julia Whelan. Audiobook narrator Sewanee doesn’t like romance novels, yet she stumbles into a made-for-the-page situation. She works to help her grandma who has memory problems & recover from an accident. Very good, as good as Whelan’s narration always is

@TheBookMaven Legacy, Nora Roberts. Romance, an idylic small Md town,& a serial killer. Some read that for vacation? A young girl witnesses her father’s death as he’d tried to kill her & her mother. As she becomes successful, “The Poet” sends death threats. @JustJanuary ‘s narration is superb
