					<description><![CDATA[New Girl by Cassandra Calin I read a compilation of the author&#8217;s comics and enjoyed them. I found this middle grade graphic memoir loosely based on her life immigrating to Montreal. This was easy going and enjoyable for an hour read. March 24, 2026.

					<description><![CDATA[My Kind of Place: Travel Stories from a Woman Who&#8217;s Been Everywhere by Susan Orlean, Susan Orlean (Narrator), Karen White (Narrator) This audiobook included essays narrated by the author and Karen White. At least three of the essays were ones I had already listened to in a previous Orlean anthology (the animal one).

					<description><![CDATA[The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Lesly Manville (Narrator) This was a fun cozy murder mystery. A slow start mostly due to the audiobook narration. I switched to print after 28%. I liked the banter and the cast of characters. There were probably a couple too many red herrings but I liked the journey. &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/04/march-2026-books-part-2/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Apothecary Diaries (Manga), Volume 1 by Itsuki Nanao, Natsu Hyuuga with Touco Shino, Nekokurage (Illustrator), Julie Goniwich (Translator) After the light novel left me wanting, the manga was more enjoyable. The storylines worked better in visual format and were more straightforward than the light novel. I would continue with the manga.

					<description><![CDATA[A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream by William Shakespeare with all-cast production It has been years since I read a Shakespeare play and I missed it. I read this while listening to a cast narration with Amanda Root and David Harewood. I will do that going forward with Shakespeare plays because it&#8217;s meant to be performed and &#8230; <a href="https://www.aquatique.net/2026/04/february-2026-books-part-1/">Continue reading &#8594;</a>]]></description>
