This month the starting point is The Anniversary by Stephanie Bishop, which was longlisted for the Stella Prize this year.
My starting point is last year's winner of the same prize, Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens by Shankari Chandran
Another book with the word cinnamon in the title is Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown
A book that I read recently about the famous Gunpowder Plot is The Secrets of Crestwell Hall by Alexandra Walsh
I love a good book which features the house as almost a character. Another book where that happened for me was Peacock Summer by Hannah Richell
A book by another Hannah that is the very opposite of summer is Burial Rites by Hannah Kent..
And that title gives me the opportunity to finish with a Terry Pratchett book, Equal Rites.
Next month our starting point is Butter by Asako Yuzuki. I am very excited by this choice. I had requested it from the library but wasn't able to go pick it up! I am not sure that I will get to read it before June but it will be a good reminder to me to request it again.
Will you be joining us?
