- Fri, 14:35: City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer VanderMeer plays all kinds of fascinating mind games with the reader here – the fact that Ambergris boasts a bookshop called Borges is clue enough. #nwbooks https://t.co/usRiXQRQD4 https://t.co/gNxTHus2tu https://t.co/9tyxEhi5Wm
- Fri, 15:05: Floater, by Lucius Shepard “Dempsey hated the mornings before his drugs kicked in.” From the very first sentence, you know this is going to be something special. #nwbooks https://t.co/lum2DEYWEs https://t.co/afnU3tCutH https://t.co/Enhxy6tao9
- Fri, 15:35: Democratisation in Southeast Europe, ed. Dusan Pavlovic, Goran Petrov, Despina Syrri, David A. Stone A decent tour d’horizon of electoral practices in the region. #nwbooks https://t.co/7hkheQmzuZ https://t.co/bm8XgA7fNx https://t.co/SlGCyI61zs

- Fri, 16:05: Summer Blonde, by Adrian Tomine Tomine’s ability to depict multiple viewpoints is pretty amazing. Few of his characters are particularly likeable but they are all fascinating. #nwbooks https://t.co/BOa8nQH7RD https://t.co/ZjsFK2nSlZ https://t.co/eX91NDp1yY
- Fri, 16:35: Being Human: The Road, by Simon Guerrier The truth turns out to be pretty tough to uncover and also rather unpleasant in detail, with the ghosts of wronged Bristolians thronging the pages. #nwbooks https://t.co/Vm2rMakKEy https://t.co/9jS4aUBbcq https://t.co/fS8YoxE8TN

- Fri, 17:05: Too Much Happiness, by Alice Munro Brilliant collection of short stories by Canadian Nobel laureate Munro – grabs you by the guts, concentrates character and plot into exquisitely distilled doses of everyday life. #nwbooks https://t.co/3NwYfunt6v https://t.co/jSm6NJnesK https://t.co/zOjcfMqhkM
- Fri, 17:35: Normal People, by Sally Rooney What I found particularly refreshing: Rooney shows both protagonists as entirely mature and adult, making conscious choices if sometimes bad choices. I found a lot to empathise with. #nwbooks https://t.co/m2j5QM68Mi https://t.co/Isk58QfNTk https://t.co/NI5rNTRyNk
