I'm reading Caledonian Road as it's been on my radar for a while. The choice for this prompt is so wide, I decided to keep go with the Scottish theme and read a book actually set in Scotland for my second choice: The Bookseller of Inverness.

I decided to read a book about China after the cultural revolution.Top choices so far:
Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China by Evan Osnos
Red Memory: The Afterlives of China's Cultural Revolution

"The same author writes the Gobbelino London books, which is one of my favourite series at the moment, and Gobbelino is one of my favourite characters. The whole series, starting with Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries, would fit for this prompt.
I'm planning Ways to Die in Glasgow by Jay Stringer for this one.
