This was our read for today – I cannot recommend this book enough. One of those I will want to reread in the future for sure.
After reading it, you might be interested in this interview on his blog and/or this speech he gave at the Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.
My last blog post post was in November, so just to get up to date:
20 Dec Several Christmas Short Stories
31 Jan Island Queen by Vanesa Riley – interesting book based on a real person
28 Feb Mansfield Park by Jane Austen – not her best novel
28 Mar A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles – 5 stars
Here are our upcoming books, all crime fiction:
25 April The Windsor Knot by JS Bennett – the Queen herself acting as a private eye
30 May Death in a Strange Country by Donna Leon – 373 pages, so I’ve left it for May when we get an extra week
20 June The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey – a short one
