recently abandoned books:
the trust - m.c. eccleston (2022). i pick this up because the blurb says for fans of richard osman but she in no way writes with osman's flair.
the way of all flesh - ambrose perry (2018). wordy, like alphabet pea-soup.
the killer across the table - douglas & olshaker (2019). not sure what the writer is trying to achieve with a most uncharismatic subject.
people from my neighborhood - kawakami (2016). bizarre without kawaii. that's all.
the woman who wanted more - vicky zimmerman (2016). depressingly middle-class american. for recipes and food, stick to ruth reichl, i say.
in my seventh decade i no longer feel obligated to finish a book once i begin it.
