Well, hello everyone- lovely to see you!
Having just realised that I completely neglected to post a round-up in October, for reasons far too wearisome to go into here, so someone has missed out on the accolade for October’s Book of the Month. That will be rectified forthwith! Still getting to grips with my work/life balance, so despite reading loads thanks to my bus commute, haven’t quite got a handle on finding time to review them all. It’ll sort itself out soon…promise. However, an upside to my new regimen is more time to tackle that TBR pile, and it’s been nice to read books that have been languishing on my shelves for far too long. More of these to come.
So let’s get down to business and bring this blog up to date, as December is with us, and Raven’s Top 5 of the year is on the horizon. Serious stuff which needs to be thought about carefully…in other words, how on earth is this year of stellar reading going to be whittled down to just 5 favourites. Hmmm…..
Have a good month, and just remember that most sensible people would love to be bought a shiny new papery book from your local bookshop for their Christmas stocking!
Raven’s Book of the Month- October
Agnes Ravatn- The Bird Tribunal
Samuel Bjork- I’m Travelling Alone
Helen Cadbury- To Catch A Rabbit
Domenic Stansberry- The White Devil
Carl-Johan Vallgren- The Tunnel
Raven’s Book of the Month- November
Mark Hill- The Two O’Clock Boy
Nuala Ellwood- My Sister’s Bones
Pascal Garnier- The Eskimo Solution
A. L. Gaylin- What Remains of Me
Looking forward to seeing your Top 5 of the year – I do a top 10 and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to whittle the list down, I’ve read some really amazing books this year.
I’m seriously considering a Top 10 now as just five is proving troublesome! 🙂
I loved the Bird Tribunal, haven’t read What Remains of Me yet but I keep seeing it around on several blogs
