Reading - December 2023

One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night by Christopher Brookmyre (1999)

I have several other books on the go (which partially explains the non-appearance of a November reading blog post and the shortness of this one) but today I just fancied something escapist and known. This is perfect. If darkly comic thrillers sounds like your thing, read this.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith (2012)

I realise I'm not exactly the target audience of another YA novel about meeting the boy of your dreams at the age of 17 but nevertheless this didn't quite live up to the promise of the film for me. Whereas the film manages to inject a kind of magical unreality (hyper-reality? I'm no film student), this is a bit mundane and earth-bound by comparison. Cute though, and nice and short.
