A Christmas present from my partner’s family. Spec fiction + the civil service, fitting neatly in my Venn diagram of interests. Funny and interesting.

I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn’t just read one of Shamsie’s excellent novels. But still, a fun read.

A short, powerful novella by Australian writer Amanda Lohrey. I read it in an afternoon, and with great pleasure.

I finally read Jilya, after attending the book launch a few months ago. Dr Westerman is building an army of First Nations psychologists, and this is her story.

I first read Ghosh in a postcolonial lit course at uni, and have continued to read and love his work. This sprawling historical family story was wonderful.

Second book down. By one of my fav sci fi authors, James SA Corey of Expanse fame. A more complex story and universe, took me a while to get into it, but am now intrigued and looking forward to the next one.

I usually like to smash out a lot, but I just downloaded Praiseworthy, which is 700 pages. So will be happy to get through that

It’s lovely. You wrap your book and write a blurb, and then everyone picks one that resonates. Swaps are allowed though.
