Nichole | 554 comments In spite of my decision not to review photo books, I simply had to review this one: John Dersham's Alabama: A Portrait of Our State. It is the bicentennial year of my state. It is silly regional pride.

3 stars

PattyMacDotComma I recommend you introduce yourselves to the Slow Horses of English mystery author Mick Herron's Slough House series. In #6, they are turned loose into Joe Country. Exciting, snowy, scary, funny, and probably all too real.

PattyMacDotComma IRRESISTIBLE! Mythologica: An Encyclopedia of Gods, Monsters and Mortals from Ancient Greece by Stephen P. Kershaw has the stories and the most fantastic art by Victoria Topping. Check my review for samples. Unbelievable!

Finished yestarday Uncle Vanya Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov.
Liked it quite a lot - how disrupting can a "simple" thing be - but I have to admit that only reading a theatre text is not the same as seeing it on stage!

PattyMacDotComma Still a 5-star favourite after a re-read is Kate Atkinson’s fourth Jackson Brodie book, Started Early, Took My Dog. He just can’t help helping to make up for past tragedies when he was too young to help.
