As a blogger sometimes writing reviews can feel like a chore so it seems I rarely write reviews for non-review books anymore. I feel bad about that, because it's not that I didn't enjoy them less than the books I review here, just that I don't have the time or energy to write a review for each and every book I read. I thought it would be nice to list my favorite non-review books each month to bring more attention to them.
Here are my January 2021 favorites:

I bought this on an Audible Daily Deal and finally got a chance to listen to it. It was a great murder mystery/romance! Dr. Elizabeth Nolan helps others while overcoming her own tragic past. A murder at the mental hospital throws Reed and her together. While he tries to solve the crime while keeping Elizabeth safe they slowly fall for each other.
This is the second in a series, but it worked well as a stand-alone. Teddy Hamilton and Callie Dalton narrate and I've listened and loved their performances in the past. Both Callie and Teddy have narrated Mariana Zapata's books (as well as others I'm sure I'm forgetting), so I was well acquainted with their voices.
An Agatha Christie classic that I've read several times, but it had been years. I listened to the audio for this re-read and it was narrated by Hugh Fraser, the actor who plays Hastings in the film versions of Agatha Christie books with David Suchet. He does an excellent job with both Hastings and Poirot!
I didn't remember the particulars of this mystery when I first began the story, but it started coming back to me as I listened. Still loved the story all these years and reads later!
What about you? Have you read any non-review books recently you'd like to praise?
