    • A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher. The audiobook was narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal, the author of the Lady Astronaut books. She did a great job voicing the plucky heroine.
    • Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism–and What Comes Next by Bradley Onishi. Pretty much what it says on the tin. A history of white Christian nationalism from the civil rights era to today and why the heck did 80% of evangelicals support a president who was the embodiment of everything they oppose?
    • Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward. A good psychological thriller with lots of plot twists.
    • In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. This was a re-read and Bryson never disappoints.
    • The Cat’s Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa by Jonathan B. Losos. Interesting read.
    • The Blighted Stars by Megan E O’Keefe. A lot of different plot lines in this character driven survival story. A solid 3.5 out of 5.
    • Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer’s Guide to the Universe by Philip Plait. The author paints beautiful pictures of what it would be like to observe the wonders of our solar system and the universe close-up.

    I “read” a lot of audiobooks, so I go through titles pretty quickly.
