pickA very good installment in Brunetti mystery series set in Venice, in which the Commissario investigates deaths in a nursing home. The author explores the role of the church and the power it wields.

pickI enjoyed rereading this book with #HashtagBrigade. The novel is terribly melodramatic but a good read for the spooky season!

pickThis felt very different from the other L. M. Montgomery books I've read -- a very sharp critique of societal norms in an entertaining story with glorious descriptions of the Muskoka region in Ontario.

pickFeeling nostalgic, I recently picked up the first 3 books in this series which I enjoyed as a child. It feels very dated in its portrayal of women's roles and how the airline industry is run (in-flight meals included an after-dinner cigarette). Still, I found this book thoroughly charming and fun to read.

panNot a particularly good installment in this series. There were unappealing side characters, problematic stereotypes and a mess of a plot.

pickAn apocalyptic novel about the Earth undergoing environmental collapse and how humans react to it. This was published in 1998 but some aspects seem scarily relevant, like the dangers of the anti-science movement.

pickThis was one of our #ScreamTeam lead favourites and it was an excellent choice for the spooky season. A disturbing haunted-house story that has the gothic feel of a Daphne Du Maurier novel.

pickI'm somewhat behind with the #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub schedule but finally finished this one. I did enjoy following the interactions of the villagers, even if most of the characters were thoroughly unpleasant!
