62 Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.
Fantastic read.
Finished Tana French's crime drama The Secret Place. Really enjoyed this one and a bit different as while it is a who done it murder mystery with all the action taking place over the course of one day it is also a coming of age story too in many ways.
61 The Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura.
A great read. Engrossing.
60 Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.
Fantastic book and I also loved the additional novella called 'Moonlight Shadow'.
I have officially met my goal of 60 books for 2021!
59 When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal.
I would for sure highly recommend him. I first read one of his books a couple of years ago and have now read the first 5 of his Jack Taylor series and absolutely love them. Highly recommend Ken Bruen. I liked the first few so much I already have bought all the other books in his Jack Taylor series and have them sitting on my to read shelves.
58 The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima.
Disturbing in parts.
Must add it to my ever lengthening list!
Finished Ken Bruen's Priest. Another brilliant entry in the Galway authors Jack Taylor crime series. At times witty, at times funny and at times noir but always a real page turner. Loved it.
57 The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
Very enjoyable. Perfect for Halloween!
56 The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.
An excellent read if you are interested in dystopian literature.

An enjoyable read about a publishing group in Tokyo creating a dictionary called 'The Great Passage.

53 Please Look After Mother by Kyung Sook Shin.
52 Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman.
51 The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

A strange book.
48 The White Book by Han Kang.
47 Almond by Sohn Won-pyung.
46 Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters.
45 If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha.
Really enjoyed this. Looks at the lives of 4 South Korean women in Seoul.
44 Idaho by Emily Ruskovich.
Absolutely hated this. A hard slog. The blurb at the back of the book is misleading as to what the book will be about.
36 Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. A fascinating read. Highly recommend.
37 Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. Very disappointing end. Gripping up until that point.
38 The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Great read.
39 Cilka's Diary by Heather Morris.
40 The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. Needed more development.
41 Becoming by Michelle Obama.
42 The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta. Great YA/LGBTQI+ read.
43 They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. This book really was heartbreaking. It's not often a book makes me cry but this one did.
