Destination Thrillers, vacations gone wrong!

A list of audiobooks narrated by Julia Whelan who does great work and whose delivery scratches my brain in just the right way. For anyone who enjoys her narration and wants to know if they should go for the audiobook version!

sunny settings, or books that feel sunny and offer escapism from the winter blues in an eclectic blend of genres.

Tasty food, gorgeous landscapes, inspiring history - there's so much Italy has to offer for an interesting story.

This list contains books that combine multiple POV with multiple timelines. In some books, the characters live in different eras.

These are books I'm reading with other people in a Discord book server.
