Hoping I can squeeze one more book from the shortlist before the International Booker Prize winner is announced tonight. Up next is Small Boat by Vincent Delecroix.

Ordered this based on the November date being my birthday. But I’ve heard it’s good, too. ‘In the first part of Solvej Balle’s epic septology, Tara Selter has slipped out of time. Every morning, she wakes up to the 18th of November.’

Went to my very favourite place in the world to watch the sunset and I’m the happiest little happy thing in the world.

Had a game of Buckaroo and I can’t believe how anxious I felt over a plastic donkey.
