pickI 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.

pickSeems 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA 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.
#BookReport for June
The Proof of My Innocence was my favourite for the month and one of my favourites for the year so far.
pickI just loved this book. Ostensibly it‘s a murder mystery told by means of literary pastiche (a cosy mystery complete with secret passages, plenty of suspects & a quirky detective, a dark academia background excursion & an auto fiction conclusion) but at heart it‘s a political asking (expressly) why the proponents of the Thatcher/Reagan era policies which have created our current society do not like that society. ⬇️
pickThis was a fun graphic novel of Northanger Abbey.
Mid-month check in. Read any good Northanger Abbey retellings? Anything you've hated?

pickAn odd format, described as a novel but containing much biography and thoughts on the life of a writer. Thoroughly enjoyable mostly but the literary critical segments sometimes get a little convoluted. Definite pick though.
