Another year under our reading belts

 This is just for record keeping.

November 2022: A Woman's Story by Annie Ernaux

December 2022: The Children's Train by Viola Ardone

Our first book of 2023?

January 2023: Foster by Clair Keegan

How time flies.

Once again I will work backward to figure out our last few months of reading.

October 2022: "The Book of Form and Emptiness" by Ruth Ozeki.

September 2022: "I Will Die in a Foreign Land" by Kalani Pickhart, set in Ukraine.

August 2022: "My Name is Yip" by Paddy Crewe.

June and July 2022: "Dead Souls" by Gogol. In June, we had all gotten different translations and most of us found it a slog. Tony brought the translation by Guerney which seemed better by far so we agreed to try again with this version

May 2022: "The Overcoat" by Gogol.

Coming up for November 2022: "A Woman's Story" by newly minted Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux. 

Carry on.

Where were we?

 I am working backward to fill in the gaps.

For April 2022 we will be reading "April in Spain" by John Banville

March 2022:    "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles

February 2022: "Small Things Like These" by Claire Keegan

January 2022: "The Night Watchman" by Louise Edrich

December 2021: "Gravel Heart" by Abdulrazak Gurnah

Next time I will not let so much time lapse before updating. It was a challenge to figure out what we had read.
