The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

Translated by Simon Bruni Once in a while, I hope to stumble upon a book that surprises me at different stages of its reading making sure I am paying attention to the fact that it is not exactly going the way I thought it would. At such times, I also hope to enjoy the experience…

The Rosie Project/Effect/Result by Graeme Simsion

In keeping with the spirit of the books, I will start with a list of why and how I came to read this series.(It is a much longer post than my usual so bear with me or read it in parts whenever you get a chance!) I found an ARC of the most recent book,…
