    Just finished The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker. Quite enjoyed it, but found it had a weird tone, at times funny verging on satirical, and pretty outlandish throughout.

    Halfway through The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Fantasy, but not of the dwarves-elves-wizard variety. Pretty good.

    I'd be interested to hear your take on that. Some good reports but I'm not sure I'm on for signing up for the whole fantasy trilogy thing...

    Force of Nature by Jane Harper. Enjoyed her debut novel The Dry, and this is as good so far.

    I've just finished The Black Eyed Blonde by Benjamin Black. I'm not a particular fan of the genre, but it was generally entertaining and engaging. The finale was a bit of a let down for me though.

    Currently reading Normal People, not sure if it will live up to the hype. After that it's From a Low and Quite Sea.

    Finished reading Normal People. Found it tedious and self indulgent. Can't understand how it made it onto the Booker long list.

    I saw the author described as “the Salinger of the snapchat generation” in a newspaper review a while back. No offence to her but I think, culturally, it might have been the most depressing sentence I’ve ever read.

    Finished the Broken Earth trilogy. The world-building was very inventive. I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters. It was ok. Not that good that I'll be buying people copies for Christmas.

    Am almost finished 'Ancillary Justice' by Ann Leckie. Sci-fi. I don't know if the main premise is totally original but the execution is very good and there are a couple of other interesting features.

    Rose Gold, Walter Mosley. Picked it up immediately after reading my first "Easy Rawlins" book. I'm enjoying this but not to the same extent as the previous one. I'm going to continue to dip into the series - and there are a good few to read prior to my jumping-in point - but maybe not with quite the same level of anticipation.
