This was the most dismal reading month I’ve had in ages. I started, but could not be bothered finishing about a dozen books. Maybe I chose poorly, maybe I wasn’t in the mood, who knows. The following two were the only highlights.
A Glorious Freedom by Lisa Congdon (2017)
Short interviews with a wide variety of women over 40 about life changes they made, things they tried, their philosophies on aging and advice to others. I liked it a lot more than I’d expected.
The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman (2023)
The fourth installment of the Thursday Murder Club series and just as enjoyable as the first three. Good pacing, fun characters, a clever mystery. I would never have believed my cynical little self would look forward to reading a charming series of books about four pensioners solving major crimes, but it’s true.
