- Journal of a Solitude – May Sarton (NF/memoir.)
- Republic of Lies – Anna Merlan (NF/current events.)

- The Crow Trap – Anne Cleeves. (F.)
The usual rules and guidelines apply: I don’t have to stick this list of titles if I find another title to look at and these are just suggestions. Other plans: read more from my TBR and continue to read a wide range of topics and authors (including a push for POC/BAME authors/topics).
I really liked Journal of a Solitude and Republic of Lies! The Man Who Loved Books Too Much and What Every Body is Saying sound really interesting too. Looking forward to hearing what you think of all these!
I actually bet that I got some of these titles from yr recommendations! 😜
Nice TBR! I’ve not ready any of those and look forward to hearing what you think of them!
Thanks, Liz! I’m looking forward to each of them…
