September's book was The Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt. This book was not universally enjoyed I'm afraid. It's the first one I've failed to finish and I was not alone! I got up to the point where she thanks you, dear reader for sticking with it and thought, "nah". Life's too short to waste time reading books you aren't enjoying.
Which leads me on to December's pick. This was, I'm ashamed to admit, suggested by me. I thought it would be nice to have something easy and Christmassy.... The book in question was The Twelve Days of Christmas by Trisha Ashley. It was one of the most predictable books I've read in a long time. I have now finished it, however, so it beats The Summer Without Men. It was also only 99p on Kindle.
November's book was The End of Everything by Megan Abbott. This was a good read, but hard to get your head round at times.
January's pick is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Which, incidentally, is not held in a single one of Lewisham's libraries. Shame on them!
