Not a lot!!
The first of my readathon reviews: 
Evil at Echo Point by Grace Yorkhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for The Other Side of the World by Stephanie Bishop

One of the ones I finished for the marathon was a little Australian romance. It felt a bit like a school girl essay and I did not love it. Two stars, for effort and knowing what the outback is like:

My review for
Six Wicked Reasons by Jo Spain, a murder mystery in a very dysfunctional family.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Another review from the readathon
The Lying Game by Ruth Warehttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This one wasn't really my cup of teaThe Bass Rock by Evie Wyld

Laid In Earth is my favourite Czech detective Josef Slonský investigation so far. Number 6 in the series harks back to the Communist regime and evidence of their interrogations in Prague. English author Graham Brack has created an appealing cast of characters.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan was a lot of fun!

My review for Mark My Words: A 'Pride and Prejudice' Variation Vignette by Margaret Lynette Sharp
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I love Peter May's books, and The Noble Pathis a bit of a departure from his usual style. This is one of his earlier novels, edited and reissued. It lacks the characteristic special quality his books usually have, so 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This one isn't my usual fare but was a light, fun read.
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmesreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was excited to find a previously unpublished Desmond Bagley, but this isn't one of his best.Domino Island

If you want to know how well I handle accidentally reading erotica (the short answer - not well) please enjoy my review of Fever by Christine Feehan

I found Zebra: And Other Stories by Aussie author Debra Adelaide to be a mixed bag. The stories were all good, but some struck a chord more than others. The title novella, "Zebra" was truly excellent and this book is worth acquiring for that one alone. Overall, 4★sOh, and a great Z title for challenges....

I just re-read Olive Kitteridge, which has been a firm favourite since I first met Olive many years ago. Elizabeth Strout is some kind of special writer. Her books aren't long, but they occupy so much mind-space.

If the cockles of your heart could do with a little warming, let Truman Capote's charming A Christmas Memory do the trick. A lonely little boy (him) and a loving old lady (elderly relative) get ready to cook up a storm for the festive season!
5★ Link to my Christmas memory review with a link to a film version of it!
The Clergyman's Wife by Molly Greeley is my second Jane Austen-esque novel in three weeks, and I loved this one as much as the last one.5★s

My review for
Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, which was not as Christmassy (or about Cold Comfort Farm) as the title and blurb suggested!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Josh Venkataraman was a college student who read a book, got fired up, started a Change.org petition demanding justice, and after a determined slog over several years, this is the result: Accidental Activist: Justice for the Groveland Four. It's wonderful to see youthful enthusiasm infect old fogies and get things done!

Here's my review for The Assistant - thrilling fun. Anyone who gets a digital home assistant for Xmas, look out!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
