There is a killing in The Harvest but I wouldn’t describe this as a murder mystery at all.

Good for you. I keep saying I’m going to do that. I enjoyed your visit to bookeywookey and will try not to recommend any books you must add to the pile!

You have a great challenge going! And you’re braver than me – I didn’t/don’t dare to count the unread books.

Chris, I have no idea why I did it one day, but when it crept up over 500 I realised I better do something drastic!

You have a literal library of books to catch up on! And I thought I had it bad when I realized I had somewhere in the area of 200. Haha, I can’t even rightfully compare unread piles with a number like 750. Yikes. How did you come into so many unread books?

Too much shopping and too little time!! I got into a real habit of buying books with no thought as to when I might read them. Do that over 10 years and you end up with a problem like mine!!

I have a book for you to add to your list. It’s called “Slim Simmer Falter Wither”by the Irish writer Sara Baume. It was her first novel and it is a great read.
