What are Eyes For? (Series)

 Board books by Abbey Wedgeworth.

This series (eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet) is great! It teaches truths and connects them back to Jesus.

The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

 Mystery Book by Stuart Turton. This was a thoroughly original and engaging take on the murder mystery genre. In addition to keeping me guessing, the author managed to weave in themes of agency vs. determinism, integrity, redemption, and forgiveness.  “We are never more ourselves than when we think people aren’t watching.” “Tomorrow can be whatever I want it to be…. A chance to be braver or kinder, to make what was wrong right. To be better than I am today.” Note: there is quite a bit of violence depicted, drug and alcohol abuse, and one instance of implied casual sex. None of it is glorified and the descriptions are not gratuitous. Definitely more PG-13 than R. Recommended for ages 15+. Also of note: This is the same book as the one titled 7 1/2 Deaths instead of 7 Deaths. Same book, different titles.

A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking

 Book by T. Kingfisher This was a delightful surprise! A fantasy, murder mystery, political intrigue, war strategy, humorous tale that was thoroughly entertaining without resorting to sex, profanity, or virtue-signaling. This would work as a family road trip listen, as ages 9-adult would be entertained.

The Anxious Generation

 Nonfiction book by Jonathan Haidt. This is a book I recommend to EVERYONE! The author’s thesis is straightforward: we are overprotecting kids in the real world while simultaneously underprotecting them in the virtual world; this combination is causing the current mental health crisis among youth. The author gives an abundance of scientific research, statistics, and anecdotal evidence to support his claims. (The last third of the book is all footnotes!) I do not recommend this as an audiobook because there are so many charts and graphs referred to that you will want to see.
