The Barbecue At No. 9 by Jennie Godfrey
I didn’t think that Jennie could top her debut novel “The List of Suspicious Things” , but by Jove she did!
The Penguin Modern Classics cover, designed by Stefanie Posavec
#Booksof2026 - 12 The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe
Four young women building their lives and careers in 1950s New York. Office romances, dodgy boyfriends, abortion, etc. It is pretty good, but does tail off towards the end.

Book 5. This is the cliffs notes version of half a dozen events and people that would have otherwise been more interesting reading about individually. But Drake was kind of a badass.
Book 4 of 2026! 📖

The Persian by David McCloskey
Another great thriller, somewhat overtaken by current events.

#BooksOf2026 number 5 is very apt at this time. The anti-war classic.
The Wordsworth Classics edition of The Man Who Would Be King.
#Booksof2026 11 - The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories by Rudyard Kipling.
The intro to this edition argues that Kipling isn't quite as racist and misogynistic as he is thought to be. If these were the stories chosen to support that view, I wonder what the others are like...

The black and white cover of Still Life by Louise Penny displayed on a black Kindle.
Still Life by Louise Penny. A good introduction to this world. Sometimes harder to follow because lots of characters and names are introduced and their specific concerns (eg Philippe) are not resolved until the end. But the mystery is satisfying & the characterization is solid. #booksof2026 #booksky
The black-and-white cover of the book club for troublesome women by Marie Bostwick displayed on a black Kindle.
The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick. A tour de force of well developed female characters and excellent attention to the matters if the era. I am especially appreciative that the author didn’t force unrealistic happy endings; the story seemed very real. #booksof2026
Paperback cover of Time Shelter.
#Booksof2026 10 - Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov (translated by Angela Rodel). A psychiatrist runs a clinic where patients relive decades of the past, but then countries want to move back in time, and reenactments start. Satire on populism and nostalgia, but didn't quite work for me.

The paperback cover is a black and white photo of a rather scary looking clown holding a small poodle.
#Booksof2026 9 - Happy Go Lucky by David Sedaris.
Another collection of essays by one of my favourite writers. Unbuttoned and Pussytoes (both about his father) were two highlights.

The paperback cover of Nomads by Anthony Sattin
#Booksof2026 8 - Nomads by Anthony Sattin.
At times an interesting history of various nomadic people and tribes. But I felt the parts on the 'genetic' reasons for nomadic life were slightly pseudo science.
