WATERSTONES BOOK GROUP 8/3/25 - STRANGE PICTURES - UKETSU AND HUNCHBACK - SAOU ICHIKAWA
Last night was the Waterstones book group for …

…
This was a hit. I thought it was an interesting take on traditional crime but found the interconnected stories annoying (why not just write it?) It is Japanese and in March’s book pile there are no less than three Japanese books. I’ve just remembered that we read one of the cafe books by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (more interconnected stories) when I was going before. Japanese literature is very fashionable.
In March’s pile I like the look of Murder at Mount Fuji by Shizuko Natsuki (traditional crime). What was voted in is another Japanese title …

COPING 25/2/25 - JUST BECAUSE OF CHRISTMAS - CYPRIAN EKWENSI - IN THE PENGUIN BOOK OF CHRISTMAS STORIES - FROM HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN TO ANGELA CARTER - JESSICA HARRISON
I finished reading these short stories today - 2 months after Christmas. I think I began them post Christmas in early January.
Just Because of Christmas is at the end of the collection so I have only just read it.
This line has made me laugh out loud:
She had often thought of marrying again, but it was too early yet to forget her husband. (Ekwensi in Harrison, 2019).

WATERSTONES BOOK GROUP 8/2/25 - I RETURN
Yesterday I returned to the Waterstones book group. I had began going in December 2022 and I went for several months, possibly most of the year? I didn’t record the meetings here but I have the books on Kindle and in my physical reading diary if I saved quotes. I will have to look them up.
I think I must have stopped going when Philip became ill. I have rejoined now because a member of staff mentioned it me recently and I thought yes!
What I loved about it previously was that the members are all so young. They are young sassy females. I also love the quickfire elimination voting system. Plus the book selections are all popular new titles from their offers.
This is what was voted in for February …
