This year, I managed to read 16 books during our annual two weeks in Haliburton. The seven physical books are shown above and the additional nine ebooks, sadly, exist only in the ether.
Topics ranged from a biography of Gertrude Bell (Desert Queen), a book about birds (The Thing with Feathers), a romance novel chosen after reading Beyond Heaving Bosoms (My Sweet Folly), a book about Barcelona by Robert Hughes because I’m going to Spain next year, a ghost story (Naomi’s Room), and a reread of Erica Jong’s Serenissima, because I love Venice.
Other recommendations include the very lovely Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord, The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson, and Salt to the Sea by Ruth Emprys.
Oh, and Fright into Flight, because not only are there great stories by Gemma Files and Nadia Bulkin, but my story “Consent” is also featured.
Next up: The Monster Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson.
On my “to read” list: roughly 225 books. Sigh.
