pickAmazing!!! So beautiful... I don't really have any other words! I was dubious at the beginning... It felt a bit Cloud Atlas (which I didn't love) but by the gut wrenching end I was completely swept away by all those intermingling rivers.

City of the Mind was superb. London seen through an architect's life and the histoicalel layers and lives of the site he is working on.
Enthralling mix of past and present (1990s)
so-soI read Nelson‘s second book, Small Worlds, and really enjoyed it.
If I hadn‘t read Small Worlds, I‘d probably be raving about Open Water.
And there‘s the problem. Both books seem far too similar. They are basically exactly the same story with names and professions changed.
The prose in both books is lovely. But I hoped for something more.

Two sentences - very short!
pickI loved this book. The language is so spare yet so evocative. Reading this was like reading poetry. A powerful and moving book. This may turn out to be my book of the year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Here‘s my list for October #ReadYourEbooks. As I predicted, I read none of the picked books for September, although I did read one that wasn‘t picked, so that‘s a win! I‘m still pretty focused on the NBA lists this month, so we‘ll see how I do with this.
pickTwo women who barely know each other start up a marriage bureau in London after WWII. When one of their clients is murdered and they suspect the wrong person has been jailed for the crime, the two start to investigate for themselves. Really enjoyed this palette cleanser. Fun banter and great side characters (I would read this for Sally alone#) made me it easy for me to buy the next two books in the series.
Here are just a few of the books I hope to read this month!!🧡👻🎃📚 #hauntedshelf @BookwormAHN #erasghostsbingo #bookbingo
pickI really enjoyed this because it wasn't serious. It was a fantasy comedy which seems to be a genre I really like. Quick and easy read.
It's not accurate alt-history or historical fantasy. It often felt more Victorian period than Tudor.
Happy October, Littens! Put some fall decorations on a bookshelf…it makes me happy when I look at it! 🎃🍂
