My review for
1989 by Val McDermid. There's a lot going on in this novel featuring investigative journalist Allie Burns, with various plot threads woven around events of 1989. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Make Me Disappear
by Jessica Payne is a cat and mouse story where the mouse would like to disappear, but there seems to be more than one cat. Who's the enemy?
3★ My review of Make Me Disappear
I wasn't sure what to expect in
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North by Rachel Joyce but it turned out to be a good way to pull the first two books together and give us Maureen's story as she takes her own journey to understanding and forgiveness.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Statuesque by Ada Rossi
A dark contemporary retelling of a beloved classic. Enjoyed this unusual take, though I hated one scene.

My review for
Mistletoe and Mayhem at the Little Shopping Mall by Hannah Pearl

Mistletoe and Mayhem at the Little Shopping Mall by Hannah Pearlhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've been reading some James Joyce stories and finding them easy to read, entertaining and thought-provoking. You don't need to be some kind of literary critic to enjoy them, although goodness knows they have been extensively studied (not by me 😊).Araby is about a tongue-tied young boy's crush on his friend's sister. Delightful and bittersweet.
5★ My review of Araby
Another, longer James Joyce story is The Dead which takes place during Christmas/New Year's festivities in the early 1900s. Thought-provoking ending.
5★ My review of The Dead
Loved Babel, or the Necessity of Violence: an Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R.F. Kuang
An alternative history of 1830s Oxford, combining politics, academia and magical realism.

I just finished Arlington Park by Rachel Cusk, a look at the lives of five women in suburban England, very clever and insightful but not a life you want to aspire to! Here is my review

David Rintoul does a fine job of narrating Alexander McCall Smith collection of five short stories, Chance Developments: Unexpected Love Stories.4★s

Meredith Appleyard's latest novel, Becoming Beth will certainly resonate with readers of a certain vintage: moving and thought-provoking.5★s
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The second dose of French author Sophie Hénaff's Awkward Squad, Stick Together is just as enjoyable a the first. Fingers crossed that MacLehose Press have #3 translated into English soon. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A touch of frivolity.
