In honor of June is Audiobook Month,

I recommend Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad.

In The Woods (2007)

Narrated by Steven Crossley

The Likeness (2008)

Narrated by Heather O'Neill

Faithful Place (2010)

Narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds

Broken Harbor (2013)

Narrated by Stephen Hogan

The Secret Place (2014)

Narrated by Stephen Hogan and Lara Hutchinson

The Trespasser (2016)

Each book centers on a different officer in The Dublin Murder Squad, and each storyline is completely different from the last.

It's been years since I read these, yet they've stayed in my brain and heart.

Plus, I adore the Irish accents and speech. ❤️

Narrator: Gordon Griffin for first four books

Unknown narrator for book 9

A detective with the Shetland police based in the main town of Lerwick, but originally from Fair Isle. Jimmy Perez's family is believed to have descended from a Spanish sailor stranded on the islands after a boat capsized, who then married a local woman and settled in Shetland. 

Previously married and divorced, Perez moved back to Shetland and bought a small house in Lerwick, and commands the local police force.

Jimmy is know to be quiet yet compassionate, observant, and able to connect with the community.

There is also a television show based this character; I've not seen it.

Ann Cleeves has authored many other books, and series, including the Vera Stanhope series, which also was made into a TV show.

I didn't like Vera much, but I adore Jimmy Perez, and look forward to the new book.

Wild Waves

 June 8 is World Ocean Day

World Ocean Day catalyzes collective action for a healthy ocean and a stable climate, working in collaboration with youth leaders and a wide range of organizations. 

World Ocean Day belongs to all groups and individuals, collectively, everywhere. 

It’s about how we can create a better future with an abundant ocean and a stable climate, by working together.

A few items found on social media that help drive home the point that humans are schmucking up our planet, and it's time we stopped.

In honor of June is Audiobook Month:

I recommend the following audiobooks by Neil Gaiman:

Coraline (2006)

 Anansi Boys (2006)

A Study in Emerald (2007)

American Gods (2011)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane (2014)

Trigger Warning (2015)

Neverwhere (2018)

The author narrated each of the above.

Neil Gaiman...what a fantastic storyteller.

He's written many, many books; I've only scratched the surface with the seven listed above.
