The Blurb says: A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past: the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the 1995 murder of a classmate, Thalia Keith. This one appeals more and is also getting mostly positive reviews, so fingers crossed! Another random pick from a new-to-me author.

London in 1919 was a city of ghosts and absences, haunted by the men who marched away but never came back from ‘the war to end all wars.’ The Blurb says: This second novel from the author of The Deception of Harriet Fleet takes us back to the aftermath of the Great War in another haunting, atmospheric Gothic tale. It’s getting pretty good reviews so far, though, so I’ll keep an open mind… A random pick based on the blurb, though on re-reading it I’m not sure it really appeals. Here’s a few that are all definitely singletons… Historical FictionĬourtesy of Quercus via NetGalley. If I count it as one, the TBR has gone up by one this week, but if I count it as three, the TBR has leapt up by three! So until the decision is reached the TBR is either 168 or 170… Why is this the burning question? Because this week I acquired a book that is in fact a trilogy. The burning question of the week is: Does a trilogy count as one book or three, if it comes as one giant tome? For instance, I’ve always thought of Lord of the Rings as one book, because I first read it in an edition containing all three volumes in one book, but I know a lot of people think of each volume as a separate book.
