I realized I can't really recommend books to audiences much anymore, because I don't read those types of audience-books as much as I used to.
But still, here are some I probably bought for $0.99 and enjoyed:
Lost Restaurants of Seattle
This Outcast Generation by Taijun Takeda
The Royal Navy Lynx: An Operational History
A Doctor's War by Aidan MacCarthy
Sniping in France by Hesketh-Prichard
The Art of Whittling by Faurot
Moscow Calling by Angus Roxburgh
Feynman's Rainbow by Leonard Mlodinow
Icelandic Folk Tales by Stefansson
If you like any of those topics then you have my random recommendation, and possibly the indulgent vanity of once more having avoided consumer risk, or maybe consumer regret.
These were fun in 2022, in addition to 1) web browsing, which I find is definitely reading, despite all its numbered-pagelessness, and 2) dipping back into lots of classics and favorites, from Blacksad to Darwin to Scaramouche and Tom Sawyer.
(Possibly throwing in a volume on the adventures of Groo, a Weird Tales, a Comics Cavalcade, some TTRPGs, and a Scooby-Doo Team-Up...)
For some more local flavor, you might also enjoy Seattle Justice (eg SPD started as a protection racket) and Woodland for the "stone soup" origins of a local institution.
