PattyMacDotComma | 272 comments What with all the current conflicts, I don't know why I chose to read about that between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the 1990s, but by golly, To Go on Living: Stories is an excellent collection of linked stories by Russian/Armenian author Narine Abgaryan. It is fiction, but some is based on her own family. What DOES it take to go on living?

PattyMacDotComma | 272 comments Robbie Arnott is an interesting Australian author who writes beautifully about his home state of Tasmania. As with his previous novels, Dusk stretches reality, telling the story of the hunt for a monster puma (escaped import?) killing stock and people in remote mountainous regions.

I finished listening to:

False Note by David Lagercrantz, Alibis Collection #2, and while bleak it’s impactful.
my review
False Note (Alibis Collection, #3) by David Lagercrantz

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans and if you enjoy epistolary novels, you’ll love this one.

Carey  (whathappenedtoagoodbook) | 1 comments If you like short story collections, The Beadworkers, is criminally underrated. It was really such a great collection and I hope more people check it out!

Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Such a beautiful book, which shouldn't be a surprise considering who the author is. Much recommended despite the dragged ending.
