My June #12Booksof2024 pick was our first book for #CampLitsy24 & a clear (pun intended) favorite. Very atmospheric & absorbing.

Honorable Mentions include: Run Towards the Danger, Doppelgänger & A Scatter of Light.

Andrew65 This one has a number of nominations. 3mo

My choice for June is Clear. Beautiful writing, in depth characterization, imaginative, at its root a historical fact. 💛#12booksof2024

Andrew65 Excellent choice. 3mo

My favourite read of June. This one is quite an odd book, that appears to be centred around the Highland clearances of the 18th/19th century, but also looks at relationships and loneliness. It packs a lot in to a short novel.

I really appreciate Cary‘s Davies‘ writing. This novel set at the end of the Scottish Clearances on a remote and forbidding island is a marvel of history, language, and love. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2024/07/review-clear-by-carys-davies.html

BkClubCare I enjoyed this one, too. Quiet but really packed a punch. 5mo
