- Sat, 14:59: Shutterbug Follies, by Jason Little About a girl who discovers disturbing things while working in a photography shop. New York nicely portrayed. Plot, however, cliched and improbable. Still, good fun. #nwbooks https://t.co/SJV8RWM4MZ https://t.co/g2gZwqK6kJ https://t.co/AtfuUbExaB
- Sat, 15:25: The Book of Proper Names, by Am�lie Nothomb Combines depth with utter silliness. Sparse but sympathetic study of a girl adopted by her aunt. She is cured of anorexia, falls in love , and shoots the author. Yes. #nwbooks https://t.co/ogCWuu1IkU https://t.co/UpX8tJs1GN https://t.co/rrkT58qn6o
- Sat, 15:51: National Lampoon’s Doon, by Ellis Weiner Anyone familiar with both Bored of the Rings and Dune will be pretty unsurprised by this book, which takes deadly aim at the pretensions of Herbert’s epic masterpiece. #nwbooks https://t.co/W9Yh3PCJrp https://t.co/ROk2ES1Qyk https://t.co/IwYCh6K48c

- Sat, 16:17: An Instance of the Fingerpost, by Iain Pears It’s a great story of events swirling around a murder in Oxford in 1663, told by four different narrators, each unreliable in their own way. #nwbooks https://t.co/wHvHKmInxu https://t.co/ebJWV11J83 https://t.co/Q58hJWLIyr
- Sat, 16:43: With The Light… vol 6, by Keiko Tobe The core narrative remains sound, of Hikaru (now hitting puberty) and his mother Sachiko dealing with a world which has not been designed for his needs, and doing the best they can. #nwbooks https://t.co/mdy5YAt0KJ https://t.co/eer2mR0Ib9 https://t.co/tcBUgrYfkD

- Sat, 17:09: Rivers of London, by Ben Aaronovitch Scored for me in the central character’s self-doubt, not so much about whether he wants to be a policeman caught up in the occult, but about whether he wants to be a policeman at all #nwbooks https://t.co/O0CPIXLPsV https://t.co/YDFTTAAo9l https://t.co/nCRJyYN1gS
- Sat, 17:35: Avalanche Soldier, by Susan R. Matthews I never quite understood what was going on, especially the bit about the cop who implausibly fears trouble because he accidentally killed a member of a minority group during a riot. #nwbooks https://t.co/tATpoUIFu1 https://t.co/YTeD5ABFbC https://t.co/5dSlkSiu1s
- Sat, 18:01: “Home is the Hangman”, by Roger Zelazny I love this story with a love that is not entirely rational. An exploring robot returns, and its former operators are murdered one by one. Our hero is brought in to stop it. #nwbooks https://t.co/G8s4fTfsLJ https://t.co/g1dQeu0bMQ https://t.co/QquKWyBbrW

That reads like a 19th-century mining report.
