Rip roaring fun in the Fractured Europe universe. If you've read those you know what to expect. If not, what are you waiting for? #wasreading #booksky

Thought this dipped a bit in the middle section but that may have been a me problem as the opening and closing sections are truly magnificent. #wasreading #booksky

Delightful barely novella length tale of book collecting, reading and the dangers of obsession. #wasreading #booksky

Even more relevant today because,
we are beginning to see the consequences.

This is as good as everyone says. Can be read as a straightforward tantalising tale of bets and dogs and luck gone awry or as something a deal darker and multilayered. #wasreading #booksky

Lots of strands to this slim novel of Guatemalan Jewish identity, shared trauma, memory and the past. Seems to be going deep under the radar which is a shame. #booksky #wasreading

Still digesting this one but hovering in the admired rather than loved camp. It's undeniably powerful though, and if bleak, northern European island based tales are your bag then this is one for you. #wasreading #booksky

Slightly meta but minor MVLL looking at the Peruvian left but probably saying saying more about the author's personal journey from left to right. #wasreading #booksky

There are a few typical first novel flaws but the whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts. Most of the time travel is off the page so characters take centre stage to great effect. #wasreading #booksky

Fever dream of a novel putting colonialism and the environment at the centre of its quixotic tale. Couple of bonus cheeky monkeys too. #wasreading #booksky

Slightly disappointed by this. Plenty of interesting stuff in both the convent of an unpleasant new religion and the climate wrecked outside but I never really felt convinced that both part belonged together. #wasreading #booksky

Somehow took more than 2 weeks to read this predictably well crafted novel. It follows Edith in 1960s Italy and present day Ireland exploring themes of identity, belonging and family. (Possibly slightly subext is for cowards if I were going to be harsh). #wasreading #booksky

Not for me, Clive. Admired rather than liked and other clichés. #wasreading #booksky

A very Hackney coded, slightly meta post apocalypse novel that occasionally seems like a 21st century take on the cosy apocalypse. How does a cataclysmic event change us and our relationships? #wasreading #booksky

It would be a lie to say this novel is unpredictable, it hits lots of typical coming of age beats but it still doesn't quite do things the you might expect it to and the voice is engaging and full of panache. #booksky #wasreading

Loved the premise of people trapped in a sinister author's novel; jumping from book to book to make their escape. Wasn't taken by the execution though it does have interesting things to say about the nature of fictional worlds. #wasreading #booksky

Sold as a crime novel but really a brutal view of corruption permeating Argentine society showing just how the wheels are greased. A shame the dialogue didn't feel massively Argentine but a minor quibble with this deceptively subtle short novel. #booksky #wasreading

More of the same from Enríquez. Enjoyable but a slight feeling of diminishing returns compared to the ambition of 'Our Share of Night'. #wasreading #booksky

Complex short novel about, I would say, the birth of modern Australia. This intriguing book never went quite where I was expecting it to and was all the better for it. #wasreading #booksky

Enjoyed this but can't help thinking that there's a better novel to be written about the human trafficking of African footballers, preferably by an African writer. #booksky #wasreading

My first dip into Boyd. Enjoyed the chimp half more than the academic/relationship flashback half and not sure it's aged particularly gracefully but enjoyable enough. #wasreading #booksky
