On the blog last week
Tuesday – I went off-piste for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday with Books Involving Newspapers or Journalists.
Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.
Saturday – I joined other gardeners for the #SixonSaturday meme, sharing six things happening in my garden this week. And I published my review of A Far-Flung Life by M. L. Stedman.
New on my shelves
Murder at the End of the World by Akane Araki, trans. by Jesse Kirkwood (Proof copy, Pushkin Vertigo)
The world’s turned into a lawless free-for-all and you’re worried about driving without a licence?
An asteroid is hurtling towards Earth and the human race has just over two months to live. But twenty-three-year-old Haru, stargazer and chronic worrier, is still trying to pass her driving test.
Then she finds a body in the boot of her car: a woman, stabbed and tortured. There’s a murderer on the loose. And it turns out that Haru’s driving instructor is an ex-cop with a manic devotion to justice.
So, despite the small matter of an impending apocalypse, the two women team up to catch the culprit, no matter where it takes them.
After all, the world’s not quite over yet…
