The Poet and the Echo | Leila Aboulela
post image
Mehso-so

I read this collection of short stories because it was my book club‘s choice. Each of the 10 short stories is supposedly a response to (or echo of) a poem, though there‘s at least 1 where I could see no connection between the chosen poem and the story. Of the 10, 3 have stuck in my mind, 2 as being good and thought provoking, 1 for pushing a dangerous ideology.

The Woman in Me | Britney Spears
post image
Mehso-so

I was never really a Britney fan - I was already in my 30s when she burst on to the music scene, and hence not her demographic! But you couldn‘t not notice her and her subsequent troubles, so I was interested in what she had to say. The first half is interesting, at times sad, at times rightly calling out an industry that treats women very differently to how it treats men. The second half is less engaging - because she finds it difficult to talk⬇️

TheEllieMo …about? Or because she‘s still holding something back? I‘d like to hope she can find true happiness but I feel she‘s still far from it. Since this was published she‘s split from yet another husband. 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures I feel bad for her, it is an industry that really eats people up. I felt real anger at the Bathroom scene with Timberlake. I am with you I was in my 20s when she got big and she was never my type of music, but I hope she finds happiness within herself. 2w
tpixie I always thought Christina Aguilera probably got it off easier because while everybody was paying attention to Britney Spears, she had a little bit of a period to go to the background to mature and then come into her own. Brittney and other young stars are just surrounded by people with bad intentions. 2w
TheEllieMo @ChaoticMissAdventures Timberlake is a selfish ass! I think Britney in some ways still has a lot of “growing up” to do, because for most of her life, she‘s not been allowed to do so. 2w

The fifth, and (so far?) final instalment of the Before The Coffee Gets Cold series is as delightful as the rest of the series. Criticism that there is a lot of repetition is a little justified, but it doesn‘t detract from the charm of the series. Reading this series always gladdens my heart.

Polo | Jilly Cooper

I feel bad about this rating, because Jilly Cooper is a bit of a National Treasure, particularly so in Gloucestershire, the county she and I both live in. This third instalment in her Rutshire Chronicles is, on the whole, a good book: though it‘s bold and brash, at its heart is romance and true love. But I can‘t ignore the domestic violence and animal cruelty in it 😩

I feel that this is a very “noisy” book, very much a product of the 1980s (certainly in the era before the stock market crash of October 1987). But covering, as it does, manipulation of the media, corruption, and people from all sectors using an accident to further their own careers/funds, it has as much relevance today, as it did when it was first published in 1987. It‘s sad how little some things have chan

Sorry, this just isn‘t my thing. There are a few funny moments, and some sad moments that are too quickly glosses over. But mostly, I just didn‘t get it. As it‘s been nominated for awards, I‘m sure it‘s me, not the book. I just didn‘t get it.

A very soft pick for this one. The main character is typically flawed but likeable, and the plot develops well, until the end, which seems rather sudden, with the case being solved rather suddenly and far too neatly.

Small Worlds | Caleb Azumah Nelson
post image

Small Worlds in a beautifully-written novel covering three summers in the life of Stephen, as he reaches adulthood and tries to find his place in life. It touches on friendship, grief, community, culture and father-son relationships, but about all, it‘s a love letter@to the power of music.

Cley | Carey Harrison
post image
Pickpick

An odd sort of book, not what I expected from the blurb. The protagonist, Jack, spends his summer between trying to solve riddle, and sleeping with the women in the house he‘s staying at. His attitude to sex brought to mind Henry Miller‘s Tropic novels.

It‘s set in Cley, where I‘m getting married 13 weeks today, which makes it #APlaceYouLove #FictionalTraveller @julieclair

Book Lovers | Emily Henry

A very soft pick for me. Henry has taken the romans tropes and played around with them a bit, but ultimately, it‘s still an enemies-to-lovers story. It‘s well-written, with character development, but apparently I only enjoy romances in December. And I‘m also a bit of a prude ‘cos I don‘t like the spicy bits!

Last week, I finished Weyward, and read:
- 144 pages of Sea of Tranquility;
- 75 pages of Cley
- 108 pages of Small Worlds
- 212 pages of Book Lovers
- 92 pages of The Bonfire of the Vanities.

This week, I will probably finish Sea of Tranquility and Book Lovers, and aim for at least:
- 21 pages of Bonfire;
- 38 pages of Cley
- 56 pages of Small Worlds

And maybe start a new book.

Weyward: A Novel | Emilia Hart

“The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet” Adrienne Rich
This novel weaves together the stories of three women of the same bloodline: a 17th century witch trial; a young girl growing up during the war, kept closeted in her home by her father; and an abusive relationship in 2019. It‘s often a harrowing tale but I felt invested in the characters.

I got this from my book club‘s mystery Christmas book exchange. It was an OK read but I felt the writing had a tendency to be too repetitive, and some of the events felt too obviously like plot devices. Maybe I‘m just too cynical for ghost stories!

The fourth in the Marlow Murder Club series, and the best of the series so far, IMO. A classic locked-room mystery where everyone has a motive, means and evidence against them.

Finished this yesterday and have been trying to process my feelings about it since. It tackles some deep subjects with a levity that makes the book seem trite at times, but there are some dark themes running through the story so it needs some humour to lighten it. On the whole, I enjoyed it, and felt invested in the friendship between the two MCs, especially towards the end.

Dexter and Athena live a life of mundane but content (at least outwardly) domesticity, which is shaken when Dexter bumps into an old girlfriend whose lifestyle is more hedonistic. Garner‘s writing captures the elements of both lifestyles and the effects well, and she has some excellent turns of phrase: “She had all the colour and dynamism of a parsnip”

This one was for my book club. Despite Bennett being a bit of a National Treasure in the UK, and even though I enjoyed the film The Lady In the Van (mostly because of Maggie Smith), I‘ve never wanted to read him, and on the strength of this, I won‘t again. Not so much a novella as a series of random anecdotes haphazardly thrown together. Not my thing, I‘m afraid.
