The Waves | Virginia Woolf

From @Alldebooks

Our final read of the year for #VirginiaBloomsberries is considered her most experimental work. The Waves was published in 1931. It records the individual accounts of six children of their lives and friendship from childhood to adulthood. VW uses the third-person narrative to show their point of view.
I'll be posting the reads for 2026 soon.
All are welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

The Position of Spoons: And Other Intimacies | Deborah Levy

pick

Another win for me from Levy. These essays are concise and sharp, on topics ranging from writers and visual artists, to shoes and driving. Listening sent me on a few searches for other books she mentioned. I loved all of these essays, and loved getting a glimpse into this brilliant mind. The audio is also spectacular.

Seeing Stars | Simon Armitage

pick

I liked this more than the other Simon Armitage collection I read recently! This is all prose-poetry, weird little stories. I didn't LOVE it, but I think I enjoyed it.

The Proof of My Innocence: A hilarious political novel wrapped in a murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Middle England | Jonathan Coe

pick

Seems I requested this and couldn‘t remember why. Looked back and saw that in June @CarolynM had mentioned it was her best read for June. So I requested it from library. A great read. Reminded me of Ben Elton‘s books. Taking events of the day and weaving them into a story. This is set in Britain and includes the politics during covid and beyond. Mysterious deaths . Crime , my favourite genre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BarbaraBB Oh wow I just bought this too because a friend recommended it. Glad you liked it too. I will read it soon, hopefully 2mo

CarolynM I loved it. Glad to see it was a hit with you too😊 I hope you like it @BarbaraBB 1mo

The Proof of My Innocence: A hilarious political novel wrapped in a murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Middle England | Jonathan Coe

pick

A satirical political mystery written in three distinct sections, set in current times with many flashbacks. The plot had some interesting twists. I was surprised by who died and later the cause of death.
