					<description><![CDATA[Carrie by Stephen King I read this for my bookclub&#8217;s &#8220;Read Outside Your Comfort Zone&#8221; theme. I read a wide breadth of genres and horror is the one I reach for the least. I do like gothic horror especially in classics, but I am too much of a scaredy cat for most horror movies, TV, &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/10/september-2026-books-part-3/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A Carnival of Snackery: Diaries 2003-2020 by David Sedaris (Narrator) with Tracey Ullman (Narrator) This one was better than the previous collection and had a lot of travel moments which I enjoyed. I use to read a lot of travel writing so this tickled that. I remembered some of the moments from the other Sedaris &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/10/september-2026-books-part-2/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Inferno by Dante Alighieri with Elio Zappulla (Translator) This was one of those used books that I had for too long. It was not as challenging to read as I thought. This edition had good end notes after every canto. I found the translation comprehensive as well. While I was interested in the classical references, &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/10/september-2026-books-part-1/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab This was fine. I was underwhelmed considering how many people love this book. It came down to the lack of characterization and development. I did have some sympathy for Addie. Her character did not have many defining traits other than stubbornness though. There were too many &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/09/august-2026-books-part-4/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie with Hugh Fraser (Narrator) A 1931 Agatha Christie standalone. I am noting the years now as we are going through a lot of her oeuvre which covered more than five decades. After the midwinter one, I wanted to continue with the cold theme. This novel was set in a &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/09/august-2026-books-part-3/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Yong (Narrator) Another interesting and well narrated science book by Ed Yong. This was even better than I Contain Multitudes and had tons of interesting animal and insect facts. It was fascinating to read about how other creatures on this planet &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/09/august-2026-books-part-2/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Heartstopper Volume 6 by Alice Oseman The finale of Heartstopper. This was nice as the rest of the series was. It almost felt like an epilogue but there was some good character development for Nick. I am not a superfan of this series and haven&#8217;t seen the show. I did appreciate the graphic storytelling style &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/09/august-2026-books-part-1/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie with David Suchet (Narrator) (Hercule Poirot #10) Reread. My partner had not read this but he had watched the most recent movie adaptation but forgot the ending. As I&#8217;ve watched a few adaptations and read this, I remembered the plot and twists well. What surprised me was &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/09/july-2026-books-part-5/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lord Edgware Dies (Hercule Poirot #9) by Agatha Christie, Hugh Fraser (Narrator) This was another fun one and a return to the actor theme which is prevalent in many of the Christie stories. This one was fun enough and consistent. I liked the ending which included a chilling letter from the villain.

					<description><![CDATA[Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays by David Sedaris with Amy Sedaris (Narrators) This was one of Sedaris&#8217;s earliest books which includes both essays and short stories. I am not a fan of Sedaris&#8217;s fiction. I find more humour in his observations about life and people. While that is reflected somewhat in the short stories, the &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/08/july-2026-books-part-3/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>
