Shelf notes

Short thoughts on what I read, mostly so I remember reading it.

Slow start

September 25, 2026

The first hundred pages were hard going. The rest made up for it, which is not always the case.

Gave up

September 15, 2026

Stopped halfway through a long novel. Life is short and the shelf is long.

Library finds

September 6, 2026

The best book this month came from the returns trolley, not from any list.

Finished in two evenings. It said what it had to say and stopped, which more books should do.
