That’s a deceptive photo heading this post. . . those are books my husband and I bought ourselves for Christmas, and you’ll have to wait at least a month before they start showing up here. But I have a full slate of books I read in December — as usual, these range across the genres: literary fiction to memoir to popular genre fiction, book in translation, children’s novel, historical fiction. . . it’s all here. Hope you’ll find something that appeals and that you’ll leave us a comment about a book or two you’ve liked (or not) lately. Click through to join in! Happy Reading!

What is this cat doing, and what does that have to do with my monthly book post? You’ll have to click through to find out (and to find out about a few books I’m recommending).

A musician’s memoir, a mystery in English (set in England); a mystery in Italian (set in Italy); a novel about women’s lives across the classes in India, and two wonderful debut novels set, respectively, in contemporary London and in Paris, France and Nablus Palestine during the first half of the 20th century. I hope you’ll find something to read among these titles, and perhaps add your own suggestions to the ensuing conversation.

What will you find in my May Reading post? Romance and survival and trauma and loss; domestic fiction, historical fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction, a crime thriller, and a war diary. Books that will take you from the frozen north to India’s heat, from contemporary London, England, Amherst, Massachusetts, and New Delhi, India to wartime France and Italy.
