I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house?

Comments
1) the Hound of the Baskervilles
2) any audiobooks by Lori Wick
3) Ivanhoe (try to find one that doesn't include the forward. Otherwise you'll have to skip forward about an hour before you can get to the story)
4) Anne of Green Gables series
5) And if you just want some laughs, try to find the Freddy the Pig series by Walter R. Brooks. It was written a few decades ago, but they're some really cute and funny stories.

I just finished the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society! It was GREAT!
Thanks for the other audiobook recommendations, Sasafras! I was actually thinking about buying the Anne of Green Gables audiobook just the other day.
