Welcome to this month's edition of Six Degrees of Separation, which is a monthly meme hosted by Kate from Books Are My Favourite and Best. The idea is to start with a specific book and make a series of links from one book to the next using whatever link you can find and see where you end up after six links. I am also linking this post up with The Sunday Salon, hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz and A Good Book and a Cup of Tea hosted at Boondock Ramblings.
The starting point for this month is a novella that's on your reading list, in recognition of Novellas in November.

The reason why this author came to mind is that I recently finished reading A Short History of Longans by Mirandi Riwoe. Now I am on a quest to read all of her books! (review)
I am using the word history as my link to my next choice which is Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens by David Mitchell. This link does double duty. Not only does it link through the word history, it also would be a great read for non-fiction November.
Spreaking of English kings, I read The King's Jewel by Elizabeth Chadwick a bit earlier in the year. The king in question was Henry I
Whilst there are a lot of jewels that I could have picked from but I am going to choose diamonds, and The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn (review)
The last selection for Cook the Books was Mrs Quinn's Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford, which features an older lady who goes onto a Bake-Off style cooking show and changes her life. And what did I cook for this book - a delicious Black Forest Cake. (review)
The current selection for Cook the Books is The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai. I don't often reread books, but I did recently reread it to help with deciding what I was going to cook. I am now really tempted to reread the next two books in the series. The fourth book is out soon! (review from my first read)
Next month, the starting point is Small Things Like These by Irish author Claire Keegan
