I’m trying to catch up at the moment, and it’s easier to blog about the books that didn’t grab me than those that did, so bear that in mind if the next few posts have an awful lot of “not quite my thing.” Books that I do want to spend more time on, because they were very much my thing: Bryan Talbot’s Alice in Sunderland, Morris Gleitzman’s Then and Marian Keyes’ This Charming Man, all very good and all recommended; I also have pending posts on a couple of books that either weren’t quite there or annoyed me in ways that I want to spend more time on.

( Dodie Smith, I capture the castle (re-read). )

( Ken Catran, Lin and the Red Stranger. )

( Gerald Morris, The squire’s tale. )

( JM Coetzee, Diary of a bad year. )

( Dan Ariely, Predictably irrational. )
