					<description><![CDATA[Le Jardin de Miffy by Dick Bruna Miffy was more interesting to me in this book because I love gardening. June 28, 2026. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro This was my second Ishiguro of the year after The Buried Giant and I liked this more. Klara&#8217;s first person narrative was so well done &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/07/june-2026-books-part-5/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Platform Decay by Martha Wells I find Murderbot books cozy even though they have so much tension and action. Murderbot is a funny and relatable character and Wells continues to build their character development through the series. It&#8217;s great character writing. I like that most instalments of this series are slightly different than the last &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/07/june-2026-books-part-4/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At Bertram&#8217;s Hotel: A BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation by Agatha Christie, adapted by Michael Bakewell, and narrated by a full cast This was a radio play instead of the audiobooks we had been listening to. It was abridged as a result. I did not want to listen to the whole novel as I read &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/07/june-2026-books-part-3/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ordeal by innocence by Agatha Christie, Hugh Fraser (Narrator) This Christie novel was one of the better ones. Maybe since we jumped into a novel written into a 1950s novel, but the quality of the writing here was one step higher than the 1930s Poirots and the 1940s Marples we&#8217;ve been reading. This was much &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/07/june-2026-books-part-2/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business by Erin Meyer with Lisa Larsen (Narrator) This book had interesting and insightful points about cultural communication covering things such as context and trust. It detailed things I had observed and encountered as an emigrant child and as someone who had lived abroad.

					<description><![CDATA[The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie with Stephanie Cole (Narrator) This was much better than the Murder at the Vicarage. I liked Miss Marple and Dolly teaming up to investigate. I like when Miss Marple is more involved in the investigation and working alongside the cops like she was here.

					<description><![CDATA[Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables #4) L.M. Montgomery After the last book Anne of the Island #3 and Anne of Avonlea #2 was only slightly better than that, I was uncertain how much I would enjoy the rest of the books in this series. Thankfully, I liked this better. I enjoyed the &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/06/may-2026-books-part-4/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Darling Buds of May: The Pop Larkin Chronicles (The Pop Larkin Chronicles #1-3) by H. E. Bates This was a collection of the first three novellas from a lighthearted English series. The first book Darling Buds of May was a buddy read. In general, this was a fun easy read since it&#8217;s basically a country &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/06/may-2026-books-part-3/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Poirot Investigates: A Hercule Poirot Collection by Agatha Christie with David Suchet (Narrator) We only listened to two or three of these stories since the rest had been covered in the other collections. My Storygraph will have a lot of bloated audio numbers but I think we are done with the short story anthologies for &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/06/may-2026-books-part-2/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Joyride by Susan Orlean (Narrator) I have been going through a lot of Orlean&#8217;s books the last few years. The Library Book was great and I liked a lot of the articles in On Animals. I really like her style of literary journalism. This was a long memoir around 14 hours and chronicled her writing &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/06/may-2026-books-part-1/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>
