What is on your book list, as the new year begins? Are you binge-reading your way into 2017, or taking a break from a well-read 2016? I’m off to a slow start, mostly because I am writing a novella of my own. Here’s where I’m at so far…
Since 1st January, I’ve finished:
- Beautiful Boredom: Idleness and Feminine Self-Realization in the Victorian Novel by Lee Anna Maynard
- Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway’s Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises by Lesley M. M. Blume
Hemingway and Friends
Ernest Hemingway, with Harold Loeb, Lady Duff Twysden, Hadley Richardson (Hemingway), Donald Ogden Stewart, and Pat Guthrie
I’m currently reading:
- Trotsky: Downfall of a Revolutionary by Bertrand M. Patenaude
- The Electrifying Fall of Rainbow City: Spectacle and Assassination at the 1901 World’s Fair by Margaret Creighton
To be read by 31 January:
- Across an Untried Sea: Discovering Lives Hidden in the Shadow of Convention and Time by Julia Markus
Which book on your list do you most look forward to reading, and why?

A minute change in my left eye means that I’m currently able to read on my iPad and am reaching the end of a gangster thriller (not my usual choice) which I’m loving. Just as well since the author is a friend of mine! Truth Lies Buried by Lesley Welsh.

What did you think of Everybody Behaves Badly? I read The Paris Wife recently, so I’m keen to tackle it.

Nice book. Not my fave ever on the general subject, but a good, fun read. I recommend it. What did you think about The Paris Wife? Any good?

I liked The Paris Wife. The writing is not memorable, but it is an interesting story and well told.
