pickEspecially if you're interested in Stuart Britain!
I doubted I'd finish this this year, but I've just sneaked it in!
so-soI snuck this Miss Marple short story into my December reading for the Snowflake prompt (set during winter/in snow) in the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge. I do love Miss Marple and her keen observations of human nature, but as is usual for me with Christie‘s short stories, I found this all too short.
pickSo much more than a spy novel, Gabriel‘s Moon is a book about humans being - or not being - who you think they are. Gabriel Pax is a likable enough protagonist, but thematically, espionage is the real character here. We‘re on a need to know basis, and Boyd makes sure the reader discovers things at the same time Pax does. Side note: my lungs and liver hurt just thinking about the excessive nicotine and booze contaminating Pax‘s body.
July was a bit of a low month reading-wise, but I did enjoy the first in Boyd‘s series featuring reluctant spy Gabriel Dax

I enjoy satire and I enjoy literary pastiche and when the 2 are combined by a writer as talented as Jonathan Coe it is sure to be a hit with me. My favourite read in June.
I love these days and nights at the end of the year. I'm settling in tonight with a cozy throw (a gift, so appreciated) and a title that's been on my TBR for far too long. I'm so grateful for the chance to let time slow down, let obligations go, and just READ. #CurrentlyReading
Wending my way through lots of Christmas reads this month. Really enjoying this one. Sir Murray says hope your day has been a great one too! He got a GIANT bone!
Sooooo…..how many books does everyone else try to fit into a carry on backpack over a week long trip with family for the Christmas holiday?!?
😂😅🤣
“ Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”
I just finished this lyrical & brutal novel, where the light succeeds & darkness recedes.
In this novel, the landscape is its own atmospheric character, which in turn shapes the characters and their lives.
