January
Although I read a few books this month I only found time for one review so that makes The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa my book of the month! However, despite it having no competition, I did really enjoy it and I think it’s an accessible example of Japanese literature for Westerners looking to dabble. Read my review here.
February
This month I was making up for a quiet January and reviewed six books. There were a lot of great reads this month but the absolute stand out was Anna Krien’s Night Games. Read my review here.
March
I read and reviewed four books this month. I awarded them all five stars but the stand out was How to be both by Ali Smith. Read my review here.
April
I read and reviewed five books this month. I feel like I’m in a reading slump at the moment and don’t know if I’m doing all the review titles justice. I found Laurinda to be an enjoyable page turner so it gets my vote this month. Read my review here.
May
I read and reviewed six books this months and the absolute stand out was Chloe Hooper’s The Engagement. Read my review here.
June
In a very busy month I only managed two reviews and the hilarious horror story Audition by Ryu Murakami is my pick for June. Read my review here.
August
My busy months continue with no reviews in July and only two in August but the brilliant Foreign Soil by Maxine Beneba Clarke wins my vote this month! Read my review here.
September
A record breaking 11 reviews this month as I caught up with reviews. The stand out for me was Joan London’s The Golden Age. Read my review here.
October
I reviewed 5 books this month and all were great. My pick of the month is Jussi Adler-Olsen’s The Hanging Girl for being fantastically addictive. Read my review here.
November
I reviewed another 5 books this month. A tough pick but I will go with Tell No Tales by Eva Dolan. My crime renaissance continues! Read my review here.
