All the books I read in January #booksky #bookstack

Some previous, current and future reads #booksky

“"Who owns them hungry hills
That the water-hen and snipe must have forsaken?
A poet? Then by heavens he must be poor."
I hear and is my heart not badly shaken?”
- Shancoduff by Patrick Kavanagh

In an attempt to feel more Christmassy I’ve picked up Snow by John Banville. Nothing says festive cheer quite like a murder mystery.

My #currentread has reignited my hatred for permanent stickers on books 💙 📚

Hi, #BookSky 👋. I've been testing the waters here for a few weeks, so I thought it was time to introduce myself.

- I’m Irish
- I love morally complex characters
- I prefer unconventional and dark stories
- I have been posting bookish content on Instagram since 2016 www.instagram.com/aseriesofunr...

Forced into starting Christmas wrapping in order to stop my house being taken over by boxes

I finished this earlier. It's a collection of psychological horror stories centred on childhood, marriage, and ageing. It's a fun collection, but not my favourite from the genre.

Picked up some domestic noir short stories for my flight.

Today’s book haul

The Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers exhibition at the National Gallery, London does not disappoint

Current read

“It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.”

Finished & enjoyed. Moss' message in "The Fell" is a message of hope for the future. It emphasizes the importance of remembering that spring will come, despite the dark days.

Finished. I think there was an over reliance on Tom Sawyer to highlight Huck and Tom's maturity differences. In the end, it seemed a little repetitive, but I suppose it had to come full circle for Huck's journey. Since it began with Huck and Tom's exploits, it makes sense it concluded with them.

Sarah Moss is constantly outstanding. She's the only person I'd voluntarily return to the Covid era for.
