Pie I made yesterday (Figgy Pudding Pie - actually a custard) and the book that just came off hold from the library. Now, I was assuming that the author is the David Mitchell that wrote Cloud Atlas, but some reviews say he is a comedian. Same guy? Are there two different David Mitchells? I know, I know; I could just google it …

so-soSheltered housing for the elderly is being built on the site of the old rectory. Some old friends move in and also some new characters.
This is book 8 in the series and I must admit it's not scratching the nostalgia itch the way the others have done. I'm starting to forget who is who, and the ebook formatting is not helping with no white space to show when we move from one scene to another. I'm not sure whether to continue.
pickWith this clever little novella finished today I have finished all but 2 of my #bookspin and #doublespin books for the year.

I didn't include this quote in my Discussion Post, I've just carried around with me for few days. Today is the 3rd Anniversary of the house fire. It's always going to be a time of contemplation not only of things lost but on good times.
Included in those memories are all the #Pemberlittens who sent me books to rebuild my library. That kindness still feels me with joy.

pickI‘ve lived in Gloucestershire for 35 years, so it‘s shocking that I‘ve only just read Laurie Lee‘s tales from his post-WW1 childhood growing up in Slad. The tales vary from almost whimsical to quite brutal recollections, covering both the hardship and the happiness of a lifestyle that no longer exists.

pickIt‘s not hard to see why Amer Anwar‘s debut crime novel won the CWA Debut Dagger Award. Setting his story within the British Asian community offers a fresh take on the detective format and he‘s created an interesting main character in Zaq, who makes the most of what he learned and who he met in prison. What lifts the story is Zaq‘s relationship with best friend Jag, which brings in humour and humanity when at times the plot begins to creak.
