This month's header photo is of the Christmas tree in my local library. I have had many pleasurable trips there during 2021 so it seemed appropriate that my final monthly roundup of the year should include a feature from the library.
There was certainly a few seasonal books in my reading this month. Did you read any Christmas books? I would love to hear what you enjoyed.
Books I Have Read
Christmas With Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon - a perfect Christmas read which I enjoyed very much. You can read my review by clicking here.
A Killing Winter by Tom Callaghan - another seasonal read for me.
The Christmas Murders by Alexandra Benedict - I enjoyed this very much and you can read my review by clicking here.
Jewish Women by Max Brod - a compelling read about the lives of prosperous Jewish families in Germany before WW1. I shall be reviewing this book early next year.
The Winter Garden by Heidi Swain - this is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed it very much. You can read my review by clicking here.
The Imposter by Javier Cercas - a novel without fiction which tells the story of the scandal surrounding Enric Marco. Really very interesting.
Prefecture D by Hideo Yokoyama - a set of four interrelated sections set within the Japanese police system.
Books I Did Not Finish
No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood - I did not get very far through this as I could not get along with it.
Books I am Partway Through
The Patchwork Girls by Elaine Everest
The Ravine by Wendy Lower
