more often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of god ways …"
(Sorry, that's from Aladdin …)
Audible's full-cast dramatization of several Arabian folk-tales, this covers:
1) the set-up for the telling of the tales (Scheherazade telling her Sultan the tales each night so she won't be beheaded!)
2) the tale of Ali-Baba and the 40 thieves
3) Julnar of the Sea
While I was knew of the first and (more famously) the second above, I probably couldn't have told you the full ins and outs of the stories until now; only a general outline of what happened. I have to admit, also, that Julnar of the Sea was completely new to me.

Lights out Liverpool (Pearl Street #1)
By Maureen Lee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The folk of one small Liverpool street cope with the first year of World War II. They find the war affects each of them in a different way. One woman worries about her twin sons who are called up, another is liberated from a loveless marriage, whilst Jessica Fleming's life is changed irrevocably.
I love a good saga! This one kind of hit home with the start of WW2 and in comparison to what we are dealing with now and it’s quite frightening to think of what they were facing and the loss that was felt. It was a little heartwarming to read and have a break from my usual reads.
