so-soMixed feelings about this one. Covering the 100 years of Rosa's life, from a Polish pogrom to a garden in Morningside in the early 2000s. Wonderfully Scottish (well, mostly Edinburgh), and with a message surely no one can argue with: conflict is bad.
For me, a bit too ambitious - and heavy on the historical exposition.

pickNot a book to read when you are feeling thirsty.
In the midst of a future Cape Town when water is privatised and in short supply. Deidre is drunk, and blaming everyone else for her problems, despite never having worked or even acknowledged the help she *has* been given.
Will the discovery of buried secrets at her old family home change her attitude?

Well, I wasn't expecting that!
I've only read 3 of these, so 3 more to find.

I lifted @squirrelbrain 's graphic and added stickers for the ones I've read. I've got my fingers crossed for Ministry of Time and The Dream Hotel making the shortlist. Still hoping to read some more of the others: found it harder to get hold of all of them this year.

pickThis worried me so much I had to skip to the end to check she got out! (And then could finish the book.)

so-soI usually enjoy books about wandering Berlin, but this one not so much.
A bildungsroman featuring a lot of drugs, bad sex and bad choices, I winced for the protagonist as she made one awful decision after another. Lots of interesting individual elements, but I never felt I really understood where the author was going (and in placed desperately just hoped it would all just Stop!)

I wrote this book because I believe the American public needs to understand that the legacy of colonization is not just a problem for Indigenous peoples, but a problem for our democracy.
