I managed to read six books in January, a record for me I think.
Broken Homes -Ben Aaronovitch
Foxglove Summer - Ben Aaronovitch
What Abigail Did That Summer - Ben Aaronovitch
The Furthest Station - Ben Aaronovitch
The October Man - Ben Aaronovitch
Fifty Words For Snow - Nancy Campbell.
My favourite word being HundslappadrΓ­fa, an Icelandic word, meaning snowflakes as large as dogs' paws.
On a roll with the Rivers of London (Peter Grant) series.

The book that is going to be taking me into the new year is Fifty Words For Snow by Nancy Campbell.
"In Japanese we encounter yuki-onna - a 'snow woman' who drifts through the frosted land. In Icelandic it is hundslappadrifa - 'snowflakes as big as a dog's paw' - that softly blanket the streets. From mountain tops and frozen seas to city parks and desert hills, each of these linguistic snow crystals offers a whole world of myth and story."

When you go into Waterstones to buy a Christmas present for someone and accidentally buy a book for yourself 😁
