Mine will be Henry Mackenzie's The Man of Feeling. What do you hope to wrap up by Hogmanay?

Butter - beautifully written and really draw you in.

I saw this in a bookshop today - love the cover! Worth buying?

I'm currently rereading Paul Murray's 'the mark and the void' following 'beesting' and 'skippy dies'. Skippy Dies is my favourite. I'll probably finish before new year.

I’ve just finished The Heights by Louise Candlish. I’ve really enjoyed a couple of her other books especially Our House but this one was too long winded. I usually abandon books if I’m not enjoying them but I was determined to finish this. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time.

Next: the Seventh Son by Sebastian Faulks OR Orbital, the Booker prize winner.

The new Agatha Raisin book, Killing Time.

Had it on pre-order but it has been sitting at the side of my bed for several weeks however I should be starting it tonight or tomorrow. Won't get to finish it by 31st so as well as being my last book of 2024, it will also be my first book of 2025.

This morning I finished 'The Way We Live Now' by Trollope. I was so angry with him, for excusing everything horrible slimy Paul Montague did, that I have gone in a totally different direction and am reading Adele Parks 'Both of You'.
