Watch out for the terrible beak just waiting to rip you apart.
Rated After the Funeral 8/10
<div>My first Poirot! Which is funny because this is a late-career Poirot, but somewhere along the way I acquired the audiobook and had forgotten about it until now. I sort of had an idea of who did it, but not the way that it happened. Enjoyed this.</div>

Rated Beat Fatigue With Yoga: The Simple Step-By-Step Way to Restore Energy 8/10
The title <i>Beat Fatigue with Yoga</i> sounds like something one would see on an infomercial, I know. To be honest, I don’t think I’d have even considered the book had it not been recommended by someone with similar health issues. Once I was done rolling my eyes at the title, I found quite a bit of useful information.<br><br>Like anything self-help or exercise related, your results may vary. Still, if depleted energy levels are an issue for you, I don’t think it would hurt to investigate this book. I’m guessing that over time, I will use it as a guide, but not a bible. My body and my attitude will decide the rest.<br><br>(My full review can be found on <a href="http://persephonemagazine.com/2012/08/02/book-review-beat-fatigue-with-yoga-by-fiona-agombar/">Persephone Magazine.</a>

Rated Auberon 8/10
<div>Okay! I started out thinking this book was post-book 6, then realized it wasn't, put it down, read Book 7, then read this and realized it's post Book 8, BUT I don't think I've spoiled myself on anything that didn't seem like it was coming anyway, plotwise. It's separate enough of a story. Outside of all that, I very much found this interesting and I'm curious to see how it relates to Book 8, once I get on that.</div>
Rated ATA Girl 2 10/10
<div>Maybe it's because this set has only has 2 instead of 4 stories — or maybe because I was better acquainted with some of the characters, having just listened to the first set — but everyone was much easier to differentiate this time around. Loose ends from the previous installment are wrapped up, the story content remains strong, and I enjoyed listening a lot.</div><div><br></div>
Rated Barnyard Battle 7/10
<div>Read this (possibly a reread?) for a "Childhood Fav" category in a reading challenge I've been doing this year. I read every Sweet Valley book I could get my hands on in elementary school, and these characters still felt quite familiar 30+ years later. Lila sucks as a friend! The boys have early 90s misogynistic ideas! Jessica is a bit of a brat! I had also completely forgotten they have an older brother.<br><br>Read it all in about 90 minutes. Not a terrible way to spend an evening. </div>
Rated Clay's Ark 8/10
<div>This was a strange, but interesting one. I'm unsure yet how it fits in with the previous two books in this series, but we'll see with the last book. All the content warnings though, whew.</div>
Rated Dalek Empire I: Chapter Four - Project Infinity 8/10
In the end, this series ended up being pretty enjoyable. Not one of my favorite Doctor Who universe[s] stories, but worth listening to via Spotify.

Rated Bernice Summerfield: Treasury 8/10
<div>A solid collection of Benny short stories. Figures that Stephen Moffat's is another "boy has mysterious lady in his life" (AND there's a character named Irene!), but the man knows what he likes writing, I guess!!</div>
