Well, I still want to pull together my favorite books of 2019.  I still have lots of books that I’ve read to review.  But it’s been three and a half weeks since I’ve been in my library – the longest time I haven’t been in a library in nearly a decade.  For all of you who, like me, are newly restricted to the electronic library offerings, I thought I’d put together some lists of tried and trusted books available there.  I’m starting with audiobooks, since that’s what I personally have used the most.  Links are to my full reviews where available; Libby availability varies by library.

Nory’s father is the principal of a magic school – but she can’t do magic the right way. She often turns into a written – part dragon, part kitten – instead of a plain kitten. She’s sent to a different school for fifth grade, where she can join a class of other kids whose magic doesn’t work the way people expect it to. We get to know all of Nory’s classmates – diverse both ethnically and magically – better in each book of the series.
