Oh no! I read this book years ago. On my recent flight home it was almost my first ever binge but j missed the last 20.minutes when we started landing.
While I knew it was only 6 episodes, I didn't know it had been cancelled! Now I have just caught up only to realise it's been left hanging .......
Found a Rushdie. Forgot that I had started a stack of books for this challenge.
Back from overseas and a yucky virus found me on the plane trip home 🏡 🙃

A random plaque on a hill above the palace in Madrid lead me to Kate O'Brien. Love these random book discoveries.

so-soBlackwater is set in my home state so I was keen to read it. It uses elements of our convict past to create a creepy Gothic/Stephen King type tale. Disconcerting
I never liked getting my hands dirty.

pickSo new it isn't listed. Twisty tale set against a backdrop of lockdown. Read it in 2 sittings. In Melbourne for Easter break, very appropriate 📚

Before I knew what they were about they had me off the 9.20 train from Harrow and on to the train named Corruption.

so-soAn interesting if slightly depressing read. An emigrant and would be poet turned computer programmer struggles to reinvent himself in London.
The accused, Chelsea Liew, was in court.

Poignant tale with a long lost relative.
I was approaching sixty when questions about what it means to be happy assumed a special significance in my life, setting me on a new path that led to a careful re-reading of Jane Austen's six novels.
A long one!

I hadn‘t heard of this, but we went to a live Hard Quiz show and Rae was one of the contestants. Very funny woman who lives locally. Curious so I borrowed from the library.
