Having abandoned this blog for years I've decided to revive it, if for nothing else than to make a note of every book I read as I seem to have lost a lot. It'll be handy in the future if I'm not sure if I've read something or not then I can look in here and use the search function to find the title.
So, here's the latest pile to be tidied back onto shelves or disposed of:
Dat Weet je Niet ~ Jens Christian Grondahl (2010)
Read (partly) on the free train day during Boekenweek 2016
De zomer hou je ook niet tegen ~ Dimitri Verhulst (2015)
Boekenweekgeschenk 2015 (where's this year's gone...?)
N-W ~ Zadie Smith (2012)
They were incorporated. An advert for themselves. Let me show you round this advert for myself.
The Night Circus ~ Erin Morgenstern (2012)
Modern fairy tale. Reminded me of something Crimson Petal and the White meets Angela Carter?
Very readable anyway.
Friends, Lovers, Chocolate ~ Alexander McCall Smith (2005)
An Isabel Dalhousie novel. As readable and forgettable as the couple of Scotland Street books of his I've read. The literary equivalent of a decent scone.
The Woman who stole my life ~ Marian Keyes (2014)
she does that thing of having her sleeves too long, in a little-girl-lost way, which makes me itch to smack her.
