#BooksOf2026 Book number 81 Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan A slim, sun-soaked story of a teenage girl scheming her way through a French Riviera summer, sharp, cynical and surprisingly modern for a novel written in the 1950s. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 79 The Illuminati Ball by cynthia von buhler the book that got my reading mojo back after a shaky few weeks. A strange, gorgeous graphic novel inspired by a real 1972 Rothschild masquerade, all secret societies, gene spliced hybrids and stained glass style art. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 78 Alison by Lizzy Stewart Having recently read and loved The Wreck, I immediately ordered a copy of this from the library . Lizzy Stewart has such a gift for capturing the weight of ordinary years, the choices that shape a woman’s whole existence. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 73 Great Granny Webster by Caroline Blackwood A slim, savage little novella about Anglo-Irish aristocratic decay, dark and dryly funny. Bleak in the best way. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 72 Dead White Female by Lauren Henderson Female-centred crime writing through and through; written by a woman, driven by a woman, with a voice that’s witty, streetwise, and completely her own. A great pick if you want your mysteries with a bit more attitude. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 71 Gentlemen of the West by Agnes Owens 📖 Picked this up after an Observer review, and the fact that Alasdair Gray was a fan sealed it. Wry, unsentimental west of Scotland fiction. Funny one line, bleak the next. #BookSky

BooksOf2026 Book number 69 The Compound by Aisling Rawle Reality television as social experiment as horror show, and somehow still fun. Wanted more people to suffer, in a good way. Recommended if you like your dystopias with a tan. #BookSky

May We Feed The King by Rebecca Perry Curator restages medieval feasts; a reluctant king gets quietly deposed by rumour, told sideways through doorways and gaps. Puzzle-box structure, devoured in one sitting. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 67 Strange Houses by Uketsu Nope, not for me. Quite liked ‘Strange Pictures’ but this was bizarre and to be honest, ridiculous. I should have listened to @adelemitch.bsky.social , but I’d already bought a copy. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 61 Endling by Maria Reva Snails, stolen bachelors, a war crashing the party, and an author who steps into her own novel to remind you it’s real. Endling has B.S. Johnson energy: the fourth wall breaks because some things can’t be told straight. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 60 My Year Of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh A year, a LOT of sedatives, and a narrator who couldn’t care less. Her drug regimen was almost as fun to track as her contempt for everyone around her. Bleak. Funny. Brilliant #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 57 The Odyssey by Homer It was the E.V. Rieu translation, that managed to turn a riveting story into a slow & bland slog, I’ve since done some research and the translation by Emily Wilson (2017) is apparently lean, fast-paced, plain-spoken. #BookSky

#BooksOf2026 Book number 53 A Vicious Circle by Amanda Craig My first Amanda Craig novel, and it will not be my last. A satire of literary London so precise it borders on cruelty, everyone here is either climbing over someone or being climbed over, usually both. #BookSky
